    Rail Issues Update

    Briefing Paper to the Energy and Infrastructure Overview and Scrutiny Commission 4th March 2014 Rail Issues Update Briefing Paper of the City Regeneration and Policy Manager 1. Purpose of the Briefing Note This report is an interim position statement on rail issues following the rail themed meeting of this commission with rail industry representatives in June 2013. Rail industry representatives have been invited to attend this commission to answer questions and give further updates. 2. Rail Issues for Consideration 2.1. Electrification 2.1.1. First Hull Trains (FHT) have submitted a proposal to the Government in which they would raise the funding to deliver electrification of the route between the East Coast Main Line (North of Doncaster) through to Hull via Selby. This could potentially bring electrification forward to 2016/17 (The Government currently does not plan to electrify this section until some unspecified time after 2019). FHT‟s proposal appears to depend on the Government releasing the funding to „buy-back‟ the completed electric infrastructure. Exactly how much (and when) the Government agree to pay is critical to FHT‟s fund raising and to any request for public funding support. FHT have requested a grant from the LEP (Local Growth fund) and a loan (Public Works Loan Board) from the LEP / Council towards the total scheme cost which is believed to be around £94m 2.1.2. The Council, business leaders and MP‟s have been lobbying ministers for early scheme funding and they have agreed to meet a delegation from the City and the East Riding on the 25th February (verbal update to be given).

    January 2012 COWIE: GB Rail Freight Privatisation UTSG Aberdeen Rail Freight in Great Britain – has privatisation made a noticeable difference? Title: Jonathan Cowie Position: Lecturer in Transport Economics Institution: Edinburgh Napier University, SEBE/Transport Research Institute Abstract This paper briefly outlines the main changes brought about by the Railways Act 1993 with regard to the rail freight sector and then examines development of the sector since that time. It finds that although rail freight levels have increased, these in the main have been as a result of changes that have occurred outside of the industry. It also finds little evidence of new operator entry into the rail freight business despite the removal of legal barriers to operation. The paper then gives an overview of the main medium and longer term effects of rail freight reform, principally through a literature review on US railroad deregulation, before examining productivity and scale effects within the British industry since privatisation. What it finds is that in the case of the former productivity has been rising from negative values at the start of the period reviewed, and economies of scale whilst significant should not be viewed as a major barrier to entry and hence do not account for the low level of entry that has occurred since privatisation. The over-riding conclusion is that policy needs to do more and be more innovative in incentivising the industry otherwise long term decline could very quickly set back in. Introduction With open access to rail freight operations introduced in the early 1990s and full privatisation of the industry achieved in 1996, now seems a relevant time to examine the performance and production economics of rail freight in Great Britain.

    Digital Displacement for Non-Passenger Rail (COF-IPS-03) Final Report Gordon Voller, Engineering Manager, Artemis Intelligent Power Ltd Win Rampen, Founder Director, Artemis Intelligent Power Ltd Stephen Laird, Research Manager, Artemis Intelligent Power Ltd Andy Martlew, T & RS Development Engineer, Direct Rail Services Paul Allen, Professor of Railway Engineering, University of Huddersfield Messaoud Mehafdi, Senior Lecturer in Accountancy, University of Huddersfield 18 June 2020 1 Executive Summary This project studies the feasibility of using Digital Displacement hydraulics in non- passenger rail vehicle applications in order to reduce emissions from diesel powered vehicles and provide more efficient transfer of power from future alternative fuel and electric powered vehicles. Artemis Intelligent Power is the global leader in Digital Displacement hydraulics – a fundamental innovation which offers a radical increase in efficiency and control for a wide range of applications. It can be delivered as a ‘straight swap’ for conventional hydraulic pumps or can be integrated to bring system-wide benefits including improved control and reduced fuel consumption. Artemis is working closely with majority owner Danfoss Power Solutions to further develop the core technology and bring a number of ground-breaking, sector-specific applications to the rail, off-highway and industrial markets. The project was completed in two phases, an initial research phase looking at each application area in non-passenger rail, followed by a more in-depth study of
  • The Treachery of Strategic Decisions

    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.
