Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE
ITEM 1 TRANSPORT COMMITTEE NEWS 07 MARCH 2000 This report may be of interest to: All Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE Accountable Officer: John Inman Author: Stephen Mortimer 1. Purpose 1.1 To advise the Committee of developments relating to Milton Keynes’ rail services. 2. Summary 2.1 West Coast Main Line Modernisation and Upgrade is now in the active planning stage. It will result in faster and more frequent train services between Milton Keynes Central and London, and between Milton Keynes Central and points north. Bletchley and Wolverton will also have improved services to London. 2.2 Funding for East-West Rail is now being sought from the Shadow Strategic Rail Authority (SSRA) for the western end of the line (Oxford-Bedford). Though the SSRA have permitted a bid only for a 60 m.p.h. single-track railway, excluding the Aylesbury branch and upgrade of the Marston Vale (Bedford-Bletchley) line, other Railtrack investment and possible developer contributions (yet to be investigated) may allow these elements to be included, as well as perhaps a 90 m.p.h. double- track railway. As this part of East-West Rail already exists, no form of planning permission is required; however, Transport and Works Act procedures are to be started to build the missing parts of the eastern end of the line. 2.3 New trains were introduced on the Marston Vale line, Autumn 1999. A study of the passenger accessibility of Marston Vale stations identified various desirable improvements, for which a contribution of £10,000 is required from this Council. -
Agenda Item 8: West Coast Main Line Released Capacity
East West Rail Consortium 13th March 2019 Agenda Item 8: West Coast Main Line Released Capacity Recommendation: It is recommended that the meeting: a) Note the update on the West Coast Main Line Released Capacity study b) Endorse the strategic issues identified in paragraph 2.6 that have been identified by England’s Economic Heartland as needing to be considered by the study c) Note that England’s Economic Heartland has established a working group of representative interests, working on a ‘task and finish’ basis to support the EEH Business Unit d) Note the update on the Old Oak Common: Future Chiltern Capacity 1. Context 1.1. The East West Rail Consortium has previously identified the strategic importance of developing rail services along the Northampton – Milton Keynes – Aylesbury – High Wycombe – Old Oak Common axis. 1.2. The opportunity to realise this occurs through a combination of the opening of East West Rail and the opening of the first stage of HS2. 1.3. The Chiltern and East West Rail Route Strategy was published by Network Rail in 2017 and identified the potential and need to develop this north- south axis, partly in response to limitations elsewhere on the network and partly in response to the potential for further passenger growth as a result of planned growth set out in locally. 1.4. Realising the potential to develop services on this north-south axis has been a long-standing strategic priority for England’s Economic Heartland and was included within the submission to the 2018 Budget. 1.5. Over and above the on-going work being taken forward by the East West Rail Company to deliver East West Rail, there are two pieces of work underway that are pertinent to realising the opportunity to deliver services on the north-south axis: London North West South CMSP – Released Capacity WCML South Old Oak Common Station: Future Chiltern Capacity 2. -

Amtrak CEO Flynn House Railroads Testimony May 6 20201
Testimony of William J. Flynn Chief Executive Officer National Railroad Passenger Corporation Before the United States House of Representatives House CommiFee on Transportation & Infrastructure SubcommiFee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials When Unlimited Potential Meets Limited Resources: The Benefits and Challenges of High-Speed Rail and Emerging Rail Technologies Thursday, May Q, RSRT TT:SS a.m. Rayburn House Office Building, Room RTQU Amtrak T MassachuseFs Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC RSSST-TYST (RSR) \SQ-]\T^ WHEN UNLIMITED POTENTIAL MEETS LIMITED RESOURCES: THE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF HIGH-SPEED RAIL AND EMERGING RAIL TECHNOLOGIES Introduction Good morning, Chairman Payne, Ranking Member Crawford, and Members of this SubcommiFee. Thank you for inviting me to testify at this hearing on behalf of Amtrak. My name is William Flynn, and I am Amtrak’s Chief Executive Officer. I am particularly honored to be representing Amtrak at this hearing. It takes place six days after Pres- ident Biden traveled to Philadelphia to join us in celebrating Amtrak’s fiftieth anniversary. The American Jobs Plan he has proposed, which would provide $^S billion for Amtrak and high- speed and intercity passenger rail, is an important first step in developing an improved passenger rail system that would enhance mobility by serving more communities; provide more frequent and more equitable service; generate significant economic benefits; and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Amtrak has accomplished a great deal since we began service on May T, T\UT with a mandate to transform unprofitable intercity passenger rail services operated by private railroads into “a modern, efficient intercity railroad passenger service”1 – with an initial appropriation of only $YS million. -

He summed up progress on electrification to date: The 16 mile section between Didcot and Reading is complete and is being used for fleet testing. A link to Reading Depot has also been completed, so electric trains no longer need to be dragged in and out and can be moved within the depot, which is being used for training purposes. Changes at Old Oak Common will affect maintenance operations and some facilities are moving to Reading (e.g. wheel lathe). Some elements of the electrification programme have been deferred, in order to fund previously unfunded scope (e.g. -

Illustrative Option Schemes in CP5 HLOS
Illustrative Option schemes in CP5 HLOS The Department worked with Network Rail, the train operators and the transport authorities in the major cities to build up shared information on current rail usage. As far as practicable a shared view was also agreed on forecast demand, using standard rail industry models but adjusting these where there was evidence of likely stronger growth. This forecast growth is stated as a peak demand to be met in the HLOS. The forecast growth was assessed against current plans for train service provision in 2019. Illustrative train service enhancements that provided the capacity to meet this demand were identified and modelled for the morning peak services in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. In many cases these were directly based on the work undertaken by recent rail industry Route Utilisation Strategies (RUS). In some cases, notably in Leeds and Manchester, recent Government commitments to funding electrification and capacity enhancements had happened after the RUS and so the Department worked with key stakeholders to determine the most likely train service patterns the infrastructure changes might produce. The illustrative peak train services are not what will happen; that will be guided both by the rail industry’s response to the HLOS in the Strategic Business Plan for CP5 where the industry will set out how it proposes to meet the HLOS, and by the outcome of future train operator franchise competitions. But the illustrative train services are needed for the Department to confirm that a value for money solution can be provided to meet peak demand. It is likely the rail industry will produce a more detailed and efficient solution, and in this context the illustrative option can be viewed as the simple answer that should be bettered. -
West Coast Main Line Draft RUS Response from Railfuture
campaigning by the Railway Development Society Limited West Coast Main Line Draft RUS Response from Railfuture Introduction Railfuture has been invited to respond to the draft West Coast main Line RUS, this document is our response. Railfuture is a national voluntary group organised in England as twelve regional branches plus two national branches in Scotland and Wales. This response has been compiled by members of the North West branch with contributions from the London and South East, Scotland, Thames Valley and West Midlands branches Our response has divided into three parts, section 1 looks at the Gaps and options in chapter 5 and commented as we feel appropriate there; section 2 looks at areas we think the West Coast RUS does not address. These first two sections largely relate to the West Coast Main Line in England as far as Carlisle; section 3 has the response from our colleagues in Railfuture Scotland and mostly relates to the line from north of Carlisle. Section 1: Gaps and options in chapter 5 Southern WCML including London Surburban services The East-West Rail consortium proposal to reintroduce passenger services from Oxford and Aylesbury to Bletchley and Milton Keynes is referred to in Section 4.3 Uncommitted Schemes on page 65 but is not subsequently mentioned again in Section 6 Emerging Strategy which is an omission we feel should be rectified. In particular, the reference in 4.3 should also specifically include the following:- - use as a freight route for access to/from Daventry and the south coast - use as a diversionary route during engineering or other blockades between Oxford & Coventry/Nuneaton.
