  • Review of Eurostar DPPP
    Annette Egginton Head of Competition and Consumer Policy Directorate of Railway Markets & Economics Email: [email protected] 28 February 2017 Nicolas Petrovic Chief Executive Officer Eurostar Dear Nicolas Review of Eurostar International Limited Disabled People’s Protection Policy (Condition 5 of your GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger) Thank you for providing updated versions of your Disabled People’s Protection Policy (DPPP) documents for review. A copy of your revised DPPP is attached to this letter, and will be published on our website along with a copy of this letter. I confirm that we have reviewed your DPPP against the 2009 Guidance “How to write your Disabled People’s Protection Policy: A guide for Train and Station Operators” (the Guidance) and can confirm that your revised DPPP meets the requirements of Condition 5 of your GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger (SNRP). We welcome your commitment to provide passengers with a Turn Up and Go assistance service, meaning that passengers will be provided with assistance without having to book in advance. We believe this will have a positive impact for passengers. Since your DPPP was originally submitted to ORR we have had several exchanges in the intervening period in order to bring about the changes required to make it fully compliant with the Guidance. The main areas where you clarified your policies during our review were: Availability of minicom or typetalk facilities: The guidance states that operators are expected to provide typetalk, minicom or equivalent facilities or to commit to providing these where they currently do not exist.

Department of Energy |January 2021 [ This page is intentionally left blank] Effect of Hyperloop Technologies on Electric Grid and Transportation Energy | Page i Department of Energy |January 2021 Executive Summary Hyperloop technology, initially proposed in 2013 as an innovative means for intermediate- range or intercity travel, is now being developed by several companies. Proponents point to potential benefits for both passenger travel and freight transport, including time-savings, convenience, quality of service and, in some cases, increased energy efficiency. Because the system is powered by electricity, its interface with the grid may require strategies that include energy storage. The added infrastructure, in some cases, may present opportunities for grid- wide system benefits from integrating hyperloop systems with variable energy resources.

  • London, UK – 9 March 2017. France Tourism
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE London, UK – 9 March 2017. France Tourism Development Agency Atout France to launch its €4.6m ‘#Feel’ campaign, aimed at reigniting UK passion for France experienced through the five senses Atout France (the France Tourism Development Agency) and its partners are launching a new pan-European marketing campaign using the creative strategy ‘#Feel’ and invoking the five senses. The campaign sees Atout France join forces with its counterparts in Germany and the Netherlands and will be launched in the UK on 13 March, following its launch to the German market at ITB Berlin on 9 March by Mr Matthias Fekl, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, the Promotion of Tourism and French Nationals Abroad. Delivered by global advertising agency Grey, it focuses on reminding travellers of why they love France and re- establishing it as the UK’s favourite holiday destination. Germany, the Netherlands and the UK are jointly responsible for nearly half of France’s international visitors. The four-month campaign, commencing in March 2017 with an overall budget of €4.6m (£2m UK only), is divided by destinations (#FeelBrittany, #FeelCotedAzur, #FeelNormandy, #FeelParis, etc.) and by themes. It involves some 30 partners* including brands and destinations and transport companies. The brands and destinations – and the varied experiences they offer – are at the heart of the campaign, but are crucially supported by the services of the transport partners, which allow visitors to plan their trip to France smoothly. The campaign therefore represents a vital union of forces, and should enable professionals across the three countries to defend their shares in what is an increasingly competitive tourist market.
