  • Network Rail Response to Grand Union Trains Wales Application- 30
    OFFICIAL 30 October 2020 Gareth Clancy Head of Access and Licensing By email only Dear Gareth Grand Union Trains Section 17 Application between London and Carmarthen: Capacity and Performance Assessment I am writing in response to your letter of 16 October 2020. Network Rail has been working on assessing the Grand Union Trains Ltd (GUTL) applications in good faith. We have taken a methodical and logical progression of work to assess the applications. A timeline showing the work undertaken by Network Rail to assess the GUTL applications is in Annex 1. This demonstrates the volume of work which has been undertaken to assess the applications, as well as the considerable effort by Network Rail to assist GUTL in finding compliant proposals for train slots. It is only with the latest iteration of the proposed service specification that Network Rail and GUTL are in a position to understand which parts of the proposition can have a compliant train and platform plan; this will now allow meaningful performance modelling to be carried out. The static performance analysis conducted so far on the various GUTL applications using historic performance data shows there is a potential performance risk which is why the detailed modelling is required. The Coronavirus pandemic has significantly impacted the railway industry, with a collapse in passenger numbers, which has been sustained for several months. As service levels were reduced, there was an immediate improvement in punctuality and performance on the network. Indeed, during the early months of the pandemic, punctuality reached record levels with the proportion of trains arriving on time, to the minute, rising to 80-90% and around 95% of trains routinely arriving within 5-10 minutes of their scheduled time.

  • Railfuture Wales
    Issue 54 Spring 2013 Rail Wales Newsletter of the Welsh branches of Railfuture Semaphore signals at Llandudno (see page 2) More re-signalling in prospect In the last issue we referred to re-signalling and electrification in south Wales. Since then, Network Rail has announced a plan, spread over 10 years, to tackle those parts of Wales and the borders which are still controlled mainly by semaphore signalling. First up will be the north Wales line between Flint and Llandudno. The Marches line would follow (2017), and then the rest of the north Wales line (2020). Lines west of Swansea will have to wait until 2023 for modern signalling, but will benefit before then from the re-doubling of the track through Gowerton to Llanelli, and the rebuilding of the Loughor viaduct. Benefits of investment in modern signalling will include reduced operating costs and higher capacity. The former should, for example, allow Sunday trains to Llandudno all the year instead of only in summer, and the latter could make it easier to accommodate new stations on the main lines, as well as allowing increased service frequency. As to further electrification, the north Wales coast line (Crewe – Chester – Holyhead) has been receiving considerable political attention lately, the Welsh Government having ordered a ‘business case’ to be developed (which would include Wrexham to Bidston and Chester, also Chester to Warrington). It is reasonable to hope that this possibility will be allowed for in designing the resignalling (gantry heights etc.) for subsequent possible electrification. Meanwhile, another scheme affecting, but not in, Wales is commencing: re-doubling the track between Swindon and Kemble.
