  • Competitive Tendering of Rail Services EUROPEAN CONFERENCE of MINISTERS of TRANSPORT (ECMT)
    Competitive EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT Tendering of Rail Competitive tendering Services provides a way to introduce Competitive competition to railways whilst preserving an integrated network of services. It has been used for freight Tendering railways in some countries but is particularly attractive for passenger networks when subsidised services make competition of Rail between trains serving the same routes difficult or impossible to organise. Services Governments promote competition in railways to Competitive Tendering reduce costs, not least to the tax payer, and to improve levels of service to customers. Concessions are also designed to bring much needed private capital into the rail industry. The success of competitive tendering in achieving these outcomes depends critically on the way risks are assigned between the government and private train operators. It also depends on the transparency and durability of the regulatory framework established to protect both the public interest and the interests of concession holders, and on the incentives created by franchise agreements. This report examines experience to date from around the world in competitively tendering rail services. It seeks to draw lessons for effective design of concessions and regulation from both of the successful and less successful cases examined. The work RailServices is based on detailed examinations by leading experts of the experience of passenger rail concessions in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.

The Board plays an important role in providing the opportunity for Chiltern Railways senior management to present their plans and to be held accountable for any performance issues. The Board also acts as an information source, to enable Chiltern Railways senior managers to understand the issues and concerns that directly affect the passengers who use the services. Background: The Chiltern Railways Passenger Board was established in April 2002. Facilitating the Board is a requirement of the Chiltern Franchise agreement (schedule 13 – clause 11.7) which requires that: The Board meets at least once each year and seeks to ensure that Chiltern Railways conducts its business in the best interest of passengers. The Board comprises of representatives from Passenger User Groups and Local Authorities along the Chiltern Railways line of route. The Board monitors the operational performance of Chiltern Railways and reviews infrastructure upgrades, passenger’s facilities, timetable changes, fares proposals and passenger satisfaction surveys and supports integrated transport schemes proposals. Chairman’s Comment: Another challenging year for Chiltern Railways, particularly with the closure of the Bicester Town to Oxford line for major upgrade works. The procurement of a long term rail replacement bus service between Bicester Town and Oxford with new double deck buses (see header picture), specially modified to carry bicycles and emblazoned with the strapline “Next Stop, London Marylebone”.
