  • 1.011 Project Evaluation • Scotrail Electric Express Case Study • Lexcie Lu • MIT Center for Transportation Studies
    Lexcie Lu, ScotRail Electric Express Case DRAFT – 4 March, 2003 1.011 Project Evaluation • ScotRail Electric Express Case Study • Lexcie Lu • MIT Center for Transportation Studies ScotRail Railways Ltd. is the major train operator in Scotland, operating trains on infrastructure owned by Railtrack plc under an Open Access regulatory regime. ScotRail is owned by the National Express Group, a large transportation holding company with bus, rail, coach, and airport operations in North America, Britain, Australia, and some parts of Europe. At present, ScotRail provides around 95% of all train services within Scotland as well as the Anglo-Scottish overnight Caledonian Sleepers linking Fort William, Aberdeen, Inverness, Glasgow and Edinburgh with the heart of London. ScotRail services are generally divided up into three different service groups: the “Express” network featuring self-propelled diesel trains linking major urban centers, the suburban network providing public transit services to the Glasgow and Edinburgh metropolitan areas, and the rural network covering the North and West Highlands as well as the South West of Scotland. During the Fall of 2000, a fleet of five class 322 high-speed electric trainsets became available as after being displaced from Stansted Express service which linked Central London to a satellite airport. Class 322, the last run of high-speed electric multiple units constructed by British Rail Engineering Ltd in 1990, was something of a one-off. Designed for a maximum speed of 100mph, the set features uprated hardware from the previous designs (class 320 and 321, with maximum rated speeds of 75mph and 90mph respectively). Thus, there are some commonality of parts between the class 322 and the fleet of class 320s currently operated by ScotRail on the Strathclyde PTE services.

  • New Commercial Terms for West Coast Franchise
    'Dinosaurs' Top honours Airport service Apprentice failing once again hitting wins top passengers in bus awards new heights UK title The newspaper of Stagecoach Group Issue 65 Winter 06/07 New commercial terms for West Coast franchise ew commercial terms that will Nrun through to March 2012 have Passengers to benefit from range of improvements been agreed for the West Coast rail franchise. The agreement has been welcomed by Stagecoach Group, which has a 49% shareholding in Virgin Rail Group (VRG), operator of the franchise since 1997. VRG has operated West Coast on a management contract since July 2002, following the collapse of Railtrack and changes to the infrastructure upgrade to the West Coast main line that prevented Virgin from running 140mph trains. The agreement with the Department for Transport (DfT) will mean passengers can benefit from a range of improvements, including: • 10 million extra seats a year from December 2008 on West Coast routes between London Euston and the West Midlands, the North West, Cumbria and Scotland • a 32% increase in daily train services from December 2008 • a new timetable and enhanced frequencies • continued management focus on improving punctuality even further. Under the deal, VRG plans to significantly increase the number of passenger journeys from the current level of 20 million a year in 2006-07. Separate proposals being discussed with the DfT would provide a further 10 million extra seats by adding two cars to each of VRG’s 53 nine-car Pendolino trains. Brian Souter, Stagecoach Group Chief Executive, said: “This new sustainable commercial franchise is an excellent deal for passengers, taxpayers and our share- holders.

  • Press Release
    Press Release 11 November 2007 ‘Joining together’ in new rail company Lynn and John Mackintosh-Braisby with CrossCountry commercial director Catherine Mason (centre) The start of the new CrossCountry rail franchise will be particularly meaningful for one West Midlands couple. John Mackintosh-Braisby, a driver with Central Trains and his wife, Lynn, a train manager with Virgin CrossCountry, find themselves working for the same train company from this weekend, when they both transfer to the new Birmingham-based train operator - CrossCountry. John and Lynn, who live in Willenhall, Walsall, met before Lynn had joined the rail industry. They married 11 years ago when John had already had 23 years experience as a train driver. One year later, Lynn joined him in the rail industry after taking up a vacancy in the staff canteen at Birmingham New Street, where John had his regular meal breaks. She moved on to Virgin Trains in 2000, where she worked as a senior catering steward for six months, before becoming a train manager. John is a regular driver on the Cardiff-Nottingham services, and the Birmingham-Stansted Airport services. Lynn travels as far as Newcastle, Bournemouth and Plymouth looking after customers. Both are based at New Street station but will now find themselves going to work in the new CrossCountry uniform and working for the same company. John said: “I look forward to being part of CrossCountry. As a driver I’m hoping to get to drive some different trains and on new routes. I’ve driven HSTs before and would like another chance to do so with them coming back into CrossCountry service from next year”.
