As a minimum the Manufacturer shall conduct a Stage Gate Review at the end of each of the following Stages: (A) Preliminary Design (as described in Appendix B); (B) Detailed Design (as described in Appendix B); (C) manufacture (as described in Appendix C); (D) testing of the first Unit on the NR Infrastructure (as described in Appendix D); (E) successful completion of the tests described in Stage 2 Core ELL Test Plan (as described in Appendix D); (F) Acceptance of the first NLR Unit (as described in Appendix D); (G) Acceptance of the first ELR Unit (as described in Appendix D); 1.1.5 The Manufacturer shall obtain Assurance Acceptance from the Purchaser prior to commencing a Stage, unless the Manufacturer (acting reasonably) considers that obtaining Assurance Acceptance from the Purchaser is not appropriate for the commencement of that Stage.

Pritchard iv Sustainability is a broad concept which embodies social, economic and environmental concerns, including the possible consequences of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change, and related means of mitigation and adaptation. The reduction of energy consumption and emissions are key objectives which need to be achieved if some of these concerns are to be addressed.

  • The Treachery of Strategic Decisions
    The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael John King. May 2021 Abstract The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner. The winning proposition will be manufactured and delivered into service some years later to carry passengers for 30 years or more. However, there is a problem: evidence shows UK passenger trains getting heavier over time. Heavy trains increase fuel consumption and emissions, increase track damage and maintenance costs, and these impacts could last for the train’s life and beyond. To address global challenges, like climate change, strategic decisions that produce outcomes like this need to be understood and improved. To understand this phenomenon, I apply Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to Strategic Decision-Making. Using ANT, sometimes described as the sociology of translation, I theorise that different propositions of trains are articulated until one, typically, is selected as the winner to be translated and become a realised train. In this translation process I focus upon the development and articulation of propositions up to the point where a winner is selected. I propose that this occurs within a valuable ‘place’ that I describe as a ‘decision-laboratory’ – a site of active development where various actors can interact, experiment, model, measure, and speculate about the desired new trains.

Events Editor It has been another interesting summer for the 8D Association despite the disappointment of the two Merseyrail depot visits being cancelled at the last minute by Merseyrail Electrics. A visit to Birkenhead North depot has been re- arranged and that will now take place on Saturday 5th November 2016 and I have no doubt it will be a very interesting experience for those who are going. As will the visits to Edge Hill depot for which there are still a few places so don’t delay put your name down (see back page). One of the undoubted highlights of the summer was the Blackpool tram trip. The Association had booked a vintage ‘Balloon’ tram for its exclusive use and we were able to tour the entire Blackpool Tramways network with our invited guests from the Branch Line Society. The tour provided some excellent photo opportunities and the chance to travel over lines not usually used by trams in public service.

I am pleased to present the latest output from the Network Route Utilisation Strategy To achieve this will require the procurement of workstream: a draft strategy for passenger rolling stock to be fully aligned with planning the rolling stock procurement and associated capability of the infrastructure across the entire infrastructure planning. The document has network. Piecemeal approaches, or been produced in conjunction with train approaches which give low priority to whole-life operators, representatives of customers, whole-industry costs, to operational flexibility, or manufacturers and rolling stock owning groups to the interface between wheel and rail, are as well as the Department for Transport, unlikely to prove efficient. Transport Scotland, the Welsh Assembly Government, The Passenger Transport Going forward, we seek to work with our Executive Group and Transport for London. industry partners and, through engagement with the Rail Delivery Group, to take on the Under whichever structure the British railway challenge of driving out unnecessary cost from network has been organised, the alignment of the planning of future rolling stock, together passenger rolling stock procurement with a) with the infrastructure to accommodate it, to the customer needs and expectations and b) the ultimate benefit of passenger and taxpayer characteristics of the railway infrastructure has alike. always been complex. The historical development of the railway saw different track Paul Plummer and loading gauges, different platform heights and lengths, different signalling systems, Director, Planning and Development different braking systems, different types of electrification, different lengths of vehicles, different policies on maximum gradients (affecting train weights and speeds), different interior layouts of rolling stock, different operating practices, and so on and so forth.
