  • 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.

  • Railway Capacity Allocation: a Survey of Market Organizations, Allocation Processes and Track Access Charges
    Railway Capacity Allocation: A Survey of Market Organizations, Allocation Processes and Track Access Charges VTI Working Paper 2019:1 Abderrahman Ait Ali1,2 and Jonas Eliasson2 1 Transport Economics, VTI, Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute 2 Communications and Transport Systems, Linköping University Abstract In the last few decades, many railway markets (especially in Europe) have been restructured to allow competition between different operators. This survey studies how competition has been introduced and regulated in a number of different countries around the world. In particular, we focus on a central part of market regulation specific to railway markets, namely the capacity allocation process. Conflicting capacity requests from different train operators need to be regulated and resolved, and the efficiency and transparency of this process is crucial. Related to this issue is how access charges are constructed and applied. Several European countries have vertically separated their railway markets, separating infrastructure management from train services provisions, thus allowing several train operators to compete with different passengers and freight services. However, few countries have so far managed to create efficient and transparent processes for allocating capacity between competing train operators, and incumbent operators still have larger market-share in many markets.

After all, the railway is regar- ded as the mode of transport that makes it possible to achieve the climate policy objectives of the mobility sector. Con- sequently, considerable funds are now being invested into development of the infrastructure. To achieve the objective of "doubling local and long-distance pas- senger numbers by 2030" and "increasing the modal split for freight transport to 25%" requires a substantial increase in both infrastructure and vehicle capacity. DB Systemtechnik believes that it is ideally equipped to support rail transport companies and infrastructure managers in overcoming the challenges they face. ETCS, ATO and predictive maintenance are topics with a considerable impact on capacity and quality, and they are becoming increasingly important. By combining digital expertise with specialised knowledge of classic railway technology, we are ideally positioned for the future. We invite you to take a look at the wide range of projects that we have been involved in over the past year.
