Anglia Route Study Long Term Planning Process Summary Document March 2016 2 Anglia Route Study: Summary Document March 2016 the Railway in Anglia EB/046 Anglia Route Study Long Term Planning Process Summary Document March 2016 2 Anglia Route Study: Summary Document March 2016 The Railway in Anglia The railway in Anglia plays a vital role in the region’s economy, providing links between communities and employment, industry and markets, and conveying nationally important freight flows from ports where container traffic arrives in the UK. The rail industry has delivered more trains, reduced delays and improved safety, at the same time as improved efficiency and value over the last 20 years. Over the next 30 years more and more people are expected to travel by train, and more freight traffic is forecast to come off the road and onto the railway. This presents significant challenges which are explored and options to address them presented in the Anglia Route Study. Anglia Route Study: Summary Document 3 March 2016 Planning for Growth The Anglia Route Study identifies key corridors and highlights expected increases in passenger and freight flows, proposing options to meet this demand he Anglia Route Study examines The Route Study forms part of a suite of Toptions to improve the railway in Studies for the UK rail network, which East Anglia, setting out a long term represent a crucial component of the strategy to meet growing passenger and railway’s Long Term Planning Process freight demand on the railway from 2019 (LTPP).

    A GOOD PUBLIC TRANSPORT EXPERIENCE 129 Chapter four – A good public transport experience London has one of the most extensive public transport networks in the world, with more than 9 million trips made every day by bus, tram, Tube, train and river boat. Use of the public transport system has increased by 65 per cent since 2000, largely because of enhanced services and an improved customer experience. An easy to use and accessible public transport system is an essential part of the Healthy Streets Approach as it gives people alternatives to car use for journeys that are not possible on foot or by cycle. By providing the most efficient and affordable option for journeys that are either impractical or too long to walk or cycle, public transport has helped to reduce Londoners’ dependency on cars during the past 15 years and this trend must continue.

Summary • WCML will not be full by the mid 2020. Network Rail figures shows that, expect for HS1, it is the least crowded main line into and out of London • Future demand on WCML will only come from growth in total transport market as switch from road and air has already happened post upgrade • Nationally number of rail journeys fell in the first quarter of 2013 • Commuter capacity issues into Euston can be solved immediately at no cost by allowing commuters to use Virgin trains • Commuter capacity in Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds will only gain two more trains, on just one route, into each city • HS2 will not provide additional capacity for freight • Disruption caused by 51 alternative would not be comparable with upgrade of WCML • HS2 delivers no benefits to ECML and MML until 2033 at the earliest Page 3 of 9 HS2AA Rail Capacity Briefing 2. Introduction The West Coast Main Line is the least crowded main line to London, and, unlike many other routes, its capacity can be significantly increased by lengthening and reconfiguring the trains, at a fraction of the cost of HS2.

  • Britain's Rail Delivery Group, Comprising the Chief Executives of the Rail Owning Groups, Freight Operators and Network Rail T
    Written evidence from the Rail Delivery Group (ROR 01) 1. This is the response of the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) to the Transport Select Committee’s call for evidence on the reform of the railways. 2. The RDG welcomes the Government’s support for the RDG contained in the Command Paper ‘Reforming our Railways: Putting the Customer First’, which was published today. The Paper calls on the Rail Delivery Group to provide leadership to the industry and to respond to the Government’s strategic challenges. The Command Paper lays out the Government’s vision for an expanding and efficient railway that meets the needs of passengers, freight users and taxpayers. The Government sees the Rail Delivery Group leading the industry in driving up efficiency and demand for the railway. This is a challenge that the Group accepts. 3. The Command Paper calls on the Rail Delivery Group to lead the rail industry in working together to deliver a more efficient, more affordable railway. The Rail Delivery Group is pleased that the Government has recognised that the Group is taking and shaping the industry’s agenda for a sustained programme of improved management and running of the rail network. 4. The Command Paper lists the six priority areas being addressed by the Group • Asset, programme and supply chain management; • Contractual and regulatory reform; • Technology, innovation and working practices; • Train utilisation; • A whole-system approach; and • Industry planning 5. The Rail Delivery Group was created to unlock efficiencies that will improve Britain’s railways. In its first nine months the Group has identified opportunities for a range of savings, for example in asset management through earlier involvement of the operators in planning work on the network.
