We have reviewed the ATP against the September 2020 “Accessible Travel Policy Guidance for Train and Station Operators” (the guidance). I can confirm that Scotrail’s ATP now meets the requirements of Condition 5 of its station licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger (SNRP). When I last wrote to you on 18 June 2020, confirming the approval of your previous ATP, I noted Scotrail’s intention to have designated meeting points in place by the end of June 2020. You have since indicated that COVID-19 restrictions have prevented this from taking place, but that that work will be carried out as soon as it is safe to do so. We will ask for updates at our regular ATP quarterly meetings. Please provide a final proofed and branded version of all ATP documents by 9 April 2021. A copy of the approved ATP will then be published on our website along with a copy of this letter. As you are aware, ATPs must be reviewed by operators on an annual basis. Please submit an updated ATP for ORR review by 31 December 2021. Yours sincerely, Marcus Clements Page 1 of 1 1772246 ScotRail Accessible Travel Policy January 2021 P2 Contents A.

    Marcus Clements Head of Consumer Policy Rail Markets and Economics 18 June 2020 Alex Hynes Managing Director Abellio Scotrail By Email Dear Alex, Approval of Abellio Scotrail’s (Scotrail’s) Accessible Travel Policy (Condition 5 of the Station Licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger) Thank you for submitting Scotrail’s draft Accessible Travel Policy (ATP) for approval. I confirm that we have reviewed the ATP against the 2019 “Accessible Travel Policy Guidance for Train and Station Operators” (the guidance). As part of our review process we also sought views on the draft ATP from the Mobility and Access Committee for Scotland and Transport Focus and had several exchanges with you to clarify its commitments. During the course of our exchanges we discussed a number of areas, including the provision of disability awareness training, and ensuring there are measures in place to safeguard the provision of alighting assistance. We noted during these discussions that: Scotrail is not part of the Secure Station accreditation scheme, and therefore information on which Scotrail-managed stations are part of the scheme is not required on your website. Every station will have a designed Passenger Assist meeting point by the end of this month. I can confirm that Scotrail’s ATP now meets the requirements of Condition 5 of its station licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger (SNRP). Scotrail has committed to updating the Scotrail website to meet the WCAG standards for website accessibility, and to publishing a website accessibility statement by March 2021. I shall be grateful to Scotrail to provide updates on this until completion.

  • Rail Cluster Builder Rail Sector Market Insight Report
    Rail Cluster Builder Rail Sector Market Insight Report - February 2021 Introduction to the Rail Cluster Project The Rail Cluster Builder project was awarded to Scottish Engineering in August 2020 and is an 18-month programme funded by Scottish Enterprise and supported by Transport Scotland. The purpose of the project is to facilitate connections for SMEs in the engineering and manufacturing sectors in Scotland seeking to diversify into the rail market or grow their existing business in rail. The project is jointly funded by Scottish Enterprise and the 2014 – 2020 European Structural and Investment Fund through SPRITE (Scottish Programme for Research, Innovation and Technology Ecosystem). This is a programme which aims to improve the innovation performance of Scotland’s Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and stimulate greater coordination between stakeholders and partner organisations to help businesses capitalise on new economic and public sector innovation opportunities. The roots of the rail cluster project lie in the Rail Services Decarbonisation Plan through which the Scottish Government aims to decarbonise passenger rail services in Scotland by 2035, ahead of the UK’s target of 2040. These targets present a real challenge to the industry and its supply chain, requiring a massive uplift in the electrification programme, new efficient train fleets powered by electricity, battery and hydrogen to replace diesel, and innovations and efficiencies to deliver this transformation whilst keep rail transport affordable for taxpayers and users. This presents real opportunities for Scottish engineering and manufacturing SMEs with the potential creation of new skilled, sustainable employment. The Rail Cluster Builder will support SMEs in establishing their presence in rail and helping to develop Scotland as a leader in the innovation and manufacture of net zero rail products and services.
