These benefits were brought to light for its reliability, safety, punctuality and environmentally sustainability compared to other transport alternatives. Given this myriad of advantages, there is a question why there are only small numbers of border crossing HSR exists in Europe and Southeast Asia though both areas place great emphasis on further integration of the region.

  • Granting a Concession on the High Speed Line
    Granting a concession on the High Speed Line Martijn Springvloet (288061) Supervisor Dr. P.A. van Reeven August 28, 2013 Bachelor thesis Economics and Business Economics Erasmus University Rotterdam Abstract In the 1980’s the Dutch government began the planning of a high speed railway connection. This project, later called the HSL, was substantially delayed during time. This thesis will look into the different problems that occurred during the HSL project and caused this delay. Special interest is going to the way track access has been granted on the HSL. With a literature review it will be revealed how the way track access was arranged in the HSL project had an influence on the delay that occurred. In order to put the HSL project in perspective European rules and regulations will be reviewed together with a case study of similar project in the UK, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. 1 Table of Content 1.

  • Recent Developments in Rail Transportation Services 2013
    Recent Developments in Rail Transportation Services 2013 The OECD Competition Committee discussed the recent developments in rail transportation services in June 2013. This document includes an executive summary of that debate and the documents from the meeting: an analytical note by the OECD Secretariat, written submissions from Australia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, the European Union, France, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, Spain, Chinese Taipei, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States, and a summary of the discussion. Railway reforms are still very much in progress in many countries. This Roundtable discusses the changes that have happened since the Competition Committee last examined this sector in February 2005 and examines their impact on the performance of the railway sector. The main changes have taken place in Europe where first the freight market and then the market for international passenger services have been opened to competition on the tracks across the whole Union. Domestic passenger services will follow suit in 2020, though a few countries have already liberalised this last part of the railway sector. The introduction of open competition is leading to numerous antitrust cases where separation between the incumbent railway undertaking and the infrastructure manager is not complete, thus keeping alive the debate on the pros and cons of vertical separation. In addition some countries have introduced tendering procedure to allocate concession for the provision of passenger services, mostly for heavily subsidised local and regional services, to obtain the benefits of competition even when the market cannot support multiple operators. From these experiences lessons can be learnt on how tenders should be run and contracts should be designed in order to maximise the benefits that competition for the market can bring.
