  • Response to East Midlands Rail Franchise Public Consultation
    BOROUGH COUNCIL OF WELLINGBOROUGH AGENDA ITEM 5 Development Committee 11 September 2017 Report of the Director Response to East Midlands Rail Franchise public consultation 1 Purpose of report To seek approval to send a council response to the public consultation on proposed changes to the East Midlands Rail Franchise. 2 Executive summary 2.1 This public consultation is on proposed changes to the rail service from Wellingborough. This will involve fewer trains stopping at Wellingborough during peak hours in order to speed up train journey times on InterCity services (those services from Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby to London). 2.2 To counter this reduction in peak time services Wellingborough will be on a commuter line from Corby to London that will be serviced by longer trains in order to try and reduce the resultant overcrowding due to cutting InterCity services. This would also mean fewer direct trains northwards to Leicester in peak times. 3 Appendices Appendix 1 – Borough Council of Wellingborough response to the East Midlands Rail Franchise Public Consultation. Appendix 2 – East Midlands Rail Franchise Public Consultation document. 4 Proposed action: The Committee is invited to RESOLVE to submit the response in Appendix 1 to the East Midlands Rail Franchise public consultation. 5 Background 5.1 This document proposes changes to the East Midlands rail service currently operated by East Midlands Trains (EMT) through a public consultation process. The overall aim of these changes will be to improve the experience of passengers by providing more space and comfort, better and more frequent customer communication with the rail operator, improving the reliability and value for money of the service.
