  • 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.

  • Penalty Fares Scheme Template
    Penalty fares scheme – c2c rail limited 1 Introduction 1.1 c2c rail limited, give notice, under rule 3.2 of the SRA’s Penalty Fares Rules 2002, that we want to introduce a penalty fares scheme with effect from a date yet to be confirmed. This document describes our penalty fares scheme for the purposes of rule 3.2 b. 1.2 We have decided to introduce a penalty fares scheme in this area because 1. Although the vast majority of our stations is gated, it is still possible to access our railway system without a ticket and/or travel to a destination that is past the validity of tickets held and leave via a non-fully gated station. 2. The Penalty Fares Scheme is seen as a supplant to existing method of dealing with individuals who do not hold valid tickets for their entire journeys. 3. The Penalty Fares Scheme is seen as a visual deterrent, i.e. via the posters at all stations, that c2c rail limited is committed to reduce to the absolute minimum fraudulent travel on our trains. 1.3 We have prepared this scheme taking account of the following documents. • The Railways (Penalty Fares) Regulations 1994. • The Penalty Fares Rules 2002. • Strategic Rail Authority Penalty Fares Policy 2002. 1.4 In line with rule 3.2, we have sent copies of this scheme to: • The Strategic Rail Authority; • London Transport Users Committee • Rail Passengers Committee for Eastern England 2 Penalty fares trains 2.1 For the purposes of this scheme, all the trains that we operate on the c2c route will be penalty fares trains.
