Passenger Focus Reponse to Section 17 Transpennine Express Application
Thank you for sending Passenger Focus details of First/Keolis Transpennine Limited’s draft application for a new Track Access Contract to cover the period December 2013 to December 2016. Industry Background and Processes 1. We note that it is driven by the extension to TPE’s Franchise Agreement, which has three DfT priorities: to provide an enhanced level of services between Manchester and Scotland, utilising the route via Golborne Junction and Wigan scheduled to be electrified by autumn 2013; to support the delivery of additional capacity for some of the key Northern cities: Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle; to reduce the subsidy paid to Franchise Operators. 2. The application proposes that the Track Access Contract will be in place for a further three years - until the Passenger Change Date 2016, which will allow TPE, on the priority date in March 2015, if necessary, to exercise rights for the 2016 timetable (beginning in December 2015), which will provide certainty to a new franchisee. 3. The ORR wrote to the industry on 23 September 2011 setting out restrictions on its consideration of applications for Track Access Contracts beyond December 2013. Network Rail indicated to TPE that it would not be prepared to accept a submission under Section 22 of the Railways Act; consequently TPE has had recourse to the provisions of Section 17. 4. In drafting the contract TPE has sought to adhere to ORR’s policy as set down in the letter of 23 September 2011; the application is restricted to rights for a quantum of train services supported by calling patterns.
