  • Scotland Electrification – Changes to ESTA Boundaries
    Ekta Sareen Senior Regulatory Economist Network Rail Kings Place, 90 York Way London, N1 9AG To: Traction Electricity Steering Group (TESG) 9 May 2014 Dear colleague, Proposed Rules Change: Scotland electrification – changes to ESTA boundaries 1. Purpose Prior to CP5, ESTA (electricity supply tariff area) descriptions were set out in Schedule 7 to the Track Access Agreements. Since the start of CP5, ESTA descriptions have been moved to the Traction Electricity Rules (TER)1. The reason for this was to allow changes to be more easily made, as ESTA design changed over time, usually due to new electrification. The purpose of this letter is to: (a) notify you of newly electrified lines from Springburn to Cumbernauld (March 2014) and from Rutherglen to Coatbridge (August 2014); and (b) to consult you on our proposal to reflect both of these newly electrified lines in changes to the descriptions of ESTA E and S in the TER. The proposal we are consulting on is to amend the ESTA descriptions in Appendix 5 of the TER. The proposed change is to add “Barnhill” as an additional boundary point in the descriptions of both ESTA E and S. This proposal is made in accordance with paragraph 11 of the TER to amend Appendix 5 (the Geographic Areas). 2. Structure This letter is structured as follows: Scotland electrification; Proposed changes to Appendix 5 of the TER; Next steps; Annex A – ESTA diagrams; and 1 Accessible here: http://www.networkrail.co.uk/on‐train‐metering/traction‐electricity‐rules‐(from‐1‐April‐ 2014).pdf Page 1 of 6 Annex B – Background information on ESTAs.

Our agenda is aimed at providing the best possible learning experiences for all. Experiences which: • inspire learners to become successful, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors, meeting the needs of all; • transform learning across all our services, Learning Communities and establishments ensuring that our children and young people gain the necessary skills and qualifications that support their aspirations; and • strengthen communities, encouraging the highest of expectations and aspirations for all while reducing inequalities I believe that participation in physical education, physical activity and sport plays a unique role in supporting the aspirations of our children and young people and can change lives for the better. As we know, a high quality experience can have a positive impact on an individual’s health and wellbeing and provide many other benefits that last well beyond school life. Therefore, it is essential that the excellent work by our Active School Coordinators and school networks continues to thrive. We see clear benefits of this work for our children and young people as they gain opportunities to participate, lead and shape their involvement in physical activity. The PEPAS strategy that has been developed by Active Schools, Education Resources and sportscotland is an excellent example of close partnership working and its introduction has supported increased participation, engagement and involvement.
