We’ve now been going for four years and we’re delighted to be celebrating that fact on page 19 by reflecting on a significant milestone for our publication and website. Elsewhere, the magazine is packed full of the usual informative mix of news, features and intelligence about infrastructure that you’ve come to expect. Major projects feature strongly this issue. We have features on the impressive new London Bridge station (p8-10), the Thames Tideway project that will reconnect Londoners with the River Thames (p16-18) and we report on the potential for a new bridge from Scotland to Northern Ireland (p20-21). Speaking of potential, we preview the Skills Summit 2018 futureproofing the industry event that takes place in London in June (p6-7) and we also take a look at the fascinating proposals for HS4Air, which if realised promise to create “an M25 for high-speed trains” (p24-25). Our latest Think Tank piece sees Mott MacDonald’s Richard Shennan wax lyrical about digital transformation in the construction and infrastructure sector (p11), a theme echoed by AECOM’s Richard Robinson in an opinion column on page 31. We also take a look at the contribution that regional UK Produced for the industry by the Association markets are making to construction output (p5) and what Birmingham needs for Consultancy and Engineering to do to ensure its Commonwealth Games legacy (p30).

    Hampton Court to Berrylands / Oct 2015

    Crossrail 2 factsheet: Services between Berrylands and Hampton Court New Crossrail 2 services are proposed to serve all stations between Berrylands and Hampton Court, with 4 trains per hour in each direction operating directly to, and across central London. What is Crossrail 2? Crossrail 2 in this area Crossrail 2 is a proposed new railway serving London and the wider South East that could be open by 2030. It would connect the existing National Rail networks in Surrey and Hertfordshire with trains running through a new tunnel from Wimbledon to Tottenham Hale and New Southgate. Crossrail 2 will connect directly with National Rail, London Underground, London Overground, Crossrail 1, High Speed 1 international and domestic and High Speed 2 services, meaning passengers will be one change away from over 800 destinations nationwide. Why do we need Crossrail 2? The South West Main Line is one of the busiest and most congested routes in the country. It already faces capacity constraints and demand for National Rail services into Waterloo is forecast to increase by at least 40% by 2043. This means the severe crowding on the network will nearly double, and would likely lead to passengers being unable to board trains at some stations. Crossrail 2 provides a solution. It would free up space on the railway helping to reduce congestion, and would enable us to run more local services to central London that bypass the most congested stations. Transport improvements already underway will help offset the pressure in the short term. But we need Crossrail 2 to cope with longer term growth.

  • Hsuk London Terminal Strategy

    Hsuk London Terminal Strategy

    HSUK LONDON TERMINAL STRATEGY In the development of high speed rail systems, the issue of terminal location and onward distribution of passengers assumes almost as much importance as the more obvious question of route. The new lines are designed to carry large volumes of passengers on trains operating at high frequencies, and these factors combine to create major flows arriving at city terminals which must then be efficiently dispersed onto the local public transport networks. This demands full integration of high speed and local systems, with optimised transfer at dedicated and fit-for- purpose terminals. These issues apply at all UK cities where high speed lines are planned, but are most acute in London, where passenger flows are greatest, and congestion in the existing public transport system is most critical. The following diagrams review existing central London connectivity issues, and compare and contrast the London terminal solutions proposed for HS2, and for the alternative High Speed UK proposals. For precise details of the core High Speed UK proposals (as included in the cost estimates), see the ‘200k’ series of plans. LTS1 : LONDON MAIN LINE NETWORK CIRCA 1963 LTS2 : EXISTING CENTRAL LONDON RAIL NETWORK INCLUDING CROSSRAIL SCHEME These diagrams show the rail network of central London, dominated by the classic terminus stations of the Victorian era. These are mostly reliant for onward connectivity upon the Tube network, which tended to form ‘nodes’ around the busier/more important termini. However, the change from main line to Tube is inherently inefficient, with passengers forced to detrain en masse, and with massive congestion occurring especially at rush hours.
  • The Midland Main Line and the Influence of HS2 a Short Report for North West Leicestershire District Council

    The Midland Main Line and the Influence of HS2 a Short Report for North West Leicestershire District Council

    The Midland Main Line and the influence of HS2 A short report for North West Leicestershire District Council 1. Introduction Concerns have been raised recently about the relationship between the Midland Main Line (MML) and HS2, and whether the high-speed line is likely to have adverse effects on the existing network. At first sight, these concerns do not appear unreasonable in the context of recent Network Rail/Department for Transport decisions: There will be no electrification north of Kettering as this work has been halted in this and other locations. This raises a question about the viability of the Classic Connection with HS2 at Toton The new East Midlands contract will be 7+2, reducing the incentive for a new train operator to invest in new rolling stock; HSTs are scheduled to come out of service by 2019; possible replacements will not be able to attain the same speeds and this could adversely affect journey times. These points together make depressing reading, and it is understandable why there is a feeling that the MML is being sacrificed in favour of HS2 to make it a more attractive prospect for this part of England. The relationship between the MML and HS2 is an important one in the District, and currently it is finely balanced. The Council has been broadly supportive of the scheme because of the economic benefits that will follow on from the construction and operation of HS2, but there is a danger that this could change, particularly if continued opposition from residents and businesses alters the view of the elected members.

  • London Borough of Lewisham Response to the GTR 2018 Timetable Consultation

    London Borough of Lewisham Response to the GTR 2018 Timetable Consultation

    London Borough of Lewisham Response to the GTR 2018 Timetable Consultation Changes to train services Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) has launched an extensive consultation which sets out proposed changes to the timetable which will be operated by GTR in 2018, following completion of the Thameslink Programme. The Council welcomes proposals to increase frequency on some lines; however, these benefits are presented alongside reductions in frequency and connectivity which the Council wish to object to. Many Lewisham residents rely heavily on train services in order to manage work, family and social life, to a greater extent than residents in many other London boroughs. It has been clear for some time that train services for the Borough are in need of substantial improvement. One example is the currently unacceptable infrequent service on trains serving Crofton Park, Catford, Bellingham and stations beyond, which has been highlighted by the 'Cinderella Line' campaign and Vicky Foxcroft MP. Our impression is that the changes to the Catford Loop services do not go far enough, nor do they align sufficiently with wider train services. Furthermore, other changes proposed, such as on the Sydenham line, have a sharply detrimental effect on residents. The Council’s response is set out according to the specific questions posed in the consultation. 14. Do you support proposals to approach engineering works differently? Please select all options you support. Whilst the focus on later services at weekends would align with the Night Tube and London’s night time economy, this should not be achieved at the cost of shorter operating hours during the week.

    Case Study: Preparing for Major Changes

    Case Study: Preparing for major changes Control Centre communications – August 2016 blockade Understanding the activities that took place managed by the Control Centre to provide communications in preparation for changes Background August 2016 saw a new phase of the Thameslink Programme begin, which resulted in significant, medium-term temporary changes (through to January 2018 in some cases) for Southeastern passengers including; • Most Charing Cross trains resumed stopping at London Bridge, except in the “contra-peak” directions during weekday peak periods • Cannon Street trains no longer stopped at London Bridge • Cannon Street was closed between 27 August 2016 and 1 September 2016 inclusive – this included three “normal” working days. Given the scale of the changes, Southeastern needed to ramp up their passenger communications. This case study document sets out the actions that needed to be carried out by the Information Team within the Kent Integrated Control Centre (KICC). Twitter - Example Regular tweets, no less than twice daily, to continue until the 1 September 2016, covering the key messages; - Major changes to London Bridge & Cannon Street services from August 2016 - We strongly recommend you consider changing your journey to work between 30 August 2016 until 1 September 2016 - Cannon Street trains will not stop at London Bridge from Friday 26 August until January 2018 - Most Charing Cross services will resume stopping at London Bridge from Monday 29 August 2016 - The changes to contra-peak services at London Bridge on weekdays from Tuesday 30 August (AM services away from London not calling at London Bridge in evening peak). All tweets should link to the dedicated page on the website: southeasternrailway.co.uk/august (example) OIS (Operations Information Screens) - Example Southeastern had a series of animated films to show on OIS and NOIS which were on display from the 8th July 2016.
