  • Firstgroup Plc Award of Transpennine Express Franchise Analyst and Investor Call Transcript
    Wednesday 9 December 2015 FirstGroup plc Award of TransPennine Express franchise Analyst and investor call transcript Matthew Gregory (FirstGroup Chief Financial Officer): Good morning, thank you everyone for joining us today, I know it’s been a busy morning. Just to introduce myself, I’m Matthew Gregory, Chief Financial Officer for FirstGroup, and I’m joined today by Rachael Borthwick, Nick Chevis and Faisal Tabbah. As stated in our announcement this morning there's a short slide pack on our corporate website in the 'reports and presentations' section and I’ll talk through that, and then we can go on to questions afterwards. So starting off, I’m very pleased to talk through the Department for Transport (DfT) announcement of its intention to award FirstGroup the TransPennine Express franchise for at least another seven years. The new franchise will see over £500m of investment being procured over the life of the franchise to double capacity, and allow us to continue to deliver the record setting levels of growth and innovation we’ve delivered over the last eleven years. In partnership with Rail North, Transport Scotland, and the city regions and local authorities of the North, our bid envisages transforming TransPennine Express into the intercity carrier of the Northern Powerhouse. The team really started from a blank page and asked themselves what would be needed to deliver for our passengers and other stakeholders over the best part of the next decade – the result is more seats, more services and new trains providing customers with outstanding intercity connections across the region, and a whole host of other passenger benefits.

  • Drivers'union
    The train ASLEF drivers’ union >>> Rail Franchise Handbook 2019 ASLEF Introduction Welcome to our new Rail Franchise Handbook. I hope you will find it as interesting, and useful, as I do and a valuable tool for the political and industrial work you do for our union. We put this handbook together to give our reps and decision makers the inside track on who really runs Britain’s railways, how they run our railways, and what they take out from our railway industry every year. Because we believe the facts and figures revealed in these pages show, with crystal clarity, the utter folly of our privatised, and fragmented, franchise system. A structure – set up by John Major, 25 years ago, and continued by Conservative governments ever since – that separates the wheels and steel and is underwritten by an enormous public subsidy from every taxpayer in this country, and sky high passenger fares, while tens of millions of pounds haemorrhage from the system into the pockets of shareholders in the form of profits and dividends, or increasingly due inefficiencies. In fact whilst the system has never worked for passengers or taxpayers, there are now signs that it doesn’t work for operators either. The franchising system has been put on hold for a couple of years now due to a lack of bidders. This means direct awards have been handed out leading to even less competition. So we now have a system that exists to maintain the system itself, not our railway. It isn’t true to say that all the train and freight operating fill the pockets of shareholders; some TOCs and FOCs are owned by public, not private, operators where shareholders do not skim the cream off the top of the milk.

  • 9.0 RNC 120919 RNC Performance Report
    Transport for the North Rail North Committee Meeting Item 9.0 Subject: Performance Report Author: Tom Davidson, Transport Planner Sponsor: David Hoggarth, Strategic Rail Director Meeting Date: Thursday 12th September 2019 1. Purpose of the Report: 1.1 The Committee is asked to note the contents of the report. 2. Executive Summary: 2.1 This report provides an update on rail performance statistics for Northern and TransPennine Express (TPE). 3. Performance Overview: 3.1 Following a period of recovery from December 2018 onwards, performance has continued to deteriorate for both operators. Levels of reliability are now lower than in the same period for 2018, with a number of severe weather events (such as the flood risk at Whaley Bridge), traincrew cancellations and fleet failures having a particularly significant impact. 3.2 The downturn in reliability is a significant concern going into the Autumn (when demand traditionally increases and the effects of leaf fall can have an impact on performance). Network Rail and the train operators will be present at the Committee meeting, to explain recent trends and their approach to improving reliability. 3.3 Passenger crowding continues to be significant concern for both operators, particularly ahead of the increase in peak demand typically seen in September / October 2019. Data provided by Northern shows that an estimated 114 passengers are unable to board each day. For the latest period, TPE’s data shows an average of 85 to 92% of total capacity was occupied on all peak services at Leeds and Manchester. In comparison with June’s figures, this indicates that loadings have reduced slightly over the summer period.
