  • The Future of Island Line – Options Report”
    A Technical Response to the Report “The Future of Island Line – Options Report” By Mark Brinton MIET March 2016 Page 1 1. Executive Summary This Report should be read in conjunction with Chris Garnett’s Report “The Future of Island Line – Options Report”. I have set out to discuss the issues raised in the Garnett Report mainly from an engineering and technical point of view. My reports contains a detailed analysis of the various technical claims made the supporters of conversion of Island Line to a tramway and casts significant doubts as to the cost benefits claimed for the conversion of the existing railway into a tramway and the use of tram vehicles. I have also questioned the safety and legal aspects of the proposed method of operation of this tramway. I have also sought to address a number of myths and rumours surrounding some of the technical issues relating to Island Line. Unfortunately some of these have found their way into Christopher Garnett’s report and could be considered to be affecting its conclusions. The last part of my report describes a possible alternative to a tramway which should cost less to implement and reduce day-to-day operational costs whilst securing the operation of Island Line within the National Rail Network. 2. Introduction This document has been produced as a considered technical response to the statements and proposals put forward in the report “The Future of Island Line – Options Report” prepared by Christopher Garnett for the Isle of Wight Council in January 2016 [the Garnett Report]. As the author of this Report, I am a practicing railway engineer, with over forty years of experience mainly in traction and rolling stock engineering.

  • Competitive Tendering of Rail Services EUROPEAN CONFERENCE of MINISTERS of TRANSPORT (ECMT)
    Competitive EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT Tendering of Rail Competitive tendering Services provides a way to introduce Competitive competition to railways whilst preserving an integrated network of services. It has been used for freight Tendering railways in some countries but is particularly attractive for passenger networks when subsidised services make competition of Rail between trains serving the same routes difficult or impossible to organise. Services Governments promote competition in railways to Competitive Tendering reduce costs, not least to the tax payer, and to improve levels of service to customers. Concessions are also designed to bring much needed private capital into the rail industry. The success of competitive tendering in achieving these outcomes depends critically on the way risks are assigned between the government and private train operators. It also depends on the transparency and durability of the regulatory framework established to protect both the public interest and the interests of concession holders, and on the incentives created by franchise agreements. This report examines experience to date from around the world in competitively tendering rail services. It seeks to draw lessons for effective design of concessions and regulation from both of the successful and less successful cases examined. The work RailServices is based on detailed examinations by leading experts of the experience of passenger rail concessions in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.

  • 2009-041 Crosscountry Spanner Awards
    Press Release 04 December 2009 XC2009/041 (LW) CROSSCOUNTRY TOPS RAILWAY CHARTS It’s Gold and Silver for award-winning train operator CrossCountry has won two prestigious rail industry awards in recognition of its trains being one of the most improved and reliable fleets across Britain’s rail network. CrossCountry was awarded Gold and Silver at last week’s annual ‘Golden Spanner’ ceremony organised by industry magazine Modern Railways. The Golden Spanner went to the Class 221 Super Voyagers for taking first place in the ‘Modern DMU’ category as the most reliable fleet in its class. The Super Voyagers also took the Silver Spanner for being the most improved fleet thanks to reliability being up 118% on last year. The ‘Golden Spanner’ is an awards scheme aimed at promoting excellence in train maintenance within Britain. Sarah Kendall, Production Director at CrossCountry said: “We are extremely proud to win these nationally recognised awards. Since the start of our franchise in November 2007 the team at CrossCountry has worked very closely with Bombardier Transportation, our maintainer to take specific targeted steps to improve the reliability of our Voyager trains. Our focus now is to build on this significant progress and further improve our performance. Train reliability is vital for our customers and therefore of the highest priority for us.” All trains are ranked on the distance they cover between technical faults by the Association of Train Operating Companies’ (ATOC) National Fleet Reliability Improvement Programme. Using this league table (see below) CrossCountry’s Voyager trains outperformed all other intercity fleets across the country.
