  • Report to Transport and Highways Committee REPORT of SERVICE
    Report to Transport and Highways Committee 22 Novem ber 2012 Agenda Item: 10 REPORT OF SERVICE DIRECTOR HIGHWAYS RAIL ISSUES UPDATE Purpose of the Report 1. To inform Committee of developments on • The Newark – Nottingham Line, and • The Robin Hood Line. Information and Advice Newark – Nottingham Line 2. The Nottingham – Newark – Lincoln line provides the east-west service for Newark (and Lincoln), with connections at Nottingham for Derby, Birmingham, Leicester and most of England & Wales. 3. The Lincoln – Newark – Nottingham service is well below the standards that are normal for other comparable routes, in all key respects • Frequency, • Speed, and • Onward connections 4. Newark has one train per hour to its big city (Nottingham), whereas most similar places have 2, 3 or 4 trains per hour to their big cities (Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds etc.) 1 Number of Trains per day 140 120 129 120 100 107 80 82 60 40 20 33 0 York - Leeds Preston - Manchester Worcester - Shrewsbury - Newark - Nottingham Birmingham Wolverhampton 5. Moreover, the trains between Nottingham and Lincoln take much longer than is achieved between other places that are a similar distance apart. Distance Time Taken Average (miles) (minutes) speed (mph) Hull - Selby 31 31 60 Crewe - Shrewsbury 32¾ 30 65.5 Hereford - Pontypool 33½ 33 61 Stirling - Perth 34¼ 33 62.3 Nottingham – Lincoln calling at 33¾ 49 41.3 Newark only Nottingham – Lincoln calling all 33¾ 69 29.4 stations Average speed (miles per hour) 6. The current 1 train per hour also has to serve the intermediate stations, as well as providing the non-stop service that anywhere the size of Newark (and 2 Lincoln) would normally get – so it is an unhappy compromise.

  • Rail Issues Update
    Meeting JOINT COMMITTEE ON STRATEGIC PLANNING AND TRANSPORT Date 12 MARCH 2010 Agenda item number From JOINT OFFICER STEERING GROUP RAIL ISSUES UPDATE Purpose of the report 1. To update the Committee on key rail issues in and into the Greater Nottingham Local Transport Plan (LTP) area and rail services cross local authority boundaries. The work of the two Councils, although separate, is complementary, and of mutual benefit. Midland Main Line upgrade Investment to raise current linespeeds and cut journey times 2. As previously reported, Network Rail is now working on the detailed design of a £69million scheme to achieve an 8 minute reduction in the Sheffield - London journey time. It is hoped that Network Rail will complete this design work and report back shortly, at which point the time saving between Nottingham and London will also be reported, but that is expected to be around 6 or 7 minutes. East Midlands Parliamentary Select Committee 3. In autumn 2009 the House of Commons Select Committee for the East Midlands launched an inquiry into whether the East Midlands receives its fair share of funding. The Councils made submissions to this inquiry which set out in detail: • how the Midland Main Line (MML) has for decades had far, far less investment than other comparable inter-city rail routes, or the M1; • how this has resulted in the MML having the slowest speeds of any inter- city route; • how this puts the economy of the East Midlands at a disadvantage; • how, far from redressing the historic disadvantage, the sum allocated for investment in the MML for the coming 5 years (£69 million) is again far less than for any other inter-city rail route or the M1; • how the small sum allocated to the MML is excellent value for money; and • how there are other modest measures that could be undertaken on the MML that would be similarly excellent value for money.

This report has been prepared by SCP on behalf of East Midlands Council (EMC), the purpose is to assist bidders for the East Midlands Rail franchise and understand the locations with growth potential within the East Midlands region and in turn the opportunity for service growth and enhancement. This document should be read alongside the EMC’s Strategic Statement. 2. The information contained in this note has been gathered from a variety of sources and summarised for each of the stations within the region. The stations have been presented by line of route as follows: Sheffield to Nottingham Lincoln to Cleethorpes Doncaster to Peterborough via Lincoln and Sleaford Ivanhoe Line (Loughborough to Leicester inc. East Midlands Parkway and Market Harborough) Castle Line (Nottingham to Lincoln) Poacher Line (Nottingham to Skegness via Grantham) Derwent Valley Line (Matlock to Nottingham inc. Willington) Robin Hood Line (Worksop to Nottingham via Mansfield) Melton Mowbray to Luton Airport Parkway (including Stamford) 3. This note collates both current information as well as any known future developments which could lead to growth within the vicinity of each station, this includes planned investments at and in the vicinity of stations, housing proposals and employment prospects. Where possible, the distance from the station has been limited to within roughly a 1km boundary (representing walking catchment) and then an approximate 5km boundary (representing the core driving catchment). 4. No guarantee or warranty can be offered by either EMC or SCP on either the timing of the works or indeed the completion of any developments, bidders will need to assess the commercial potential and risk themselves.

  • Robin Hood Line Cctv Replacement
    Public Agenda Item No. 4(f) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – JOBS, ECONOMY AND TRANSPORT 10 September 2013 Report of the Acting Strategic Director – Environmental Services ROBIN HOOD LINE CCTV REPLACEMENT (1) Purpose of the Report To approve expenditure proposals for the replacement Robin Hood Line CCTV. (2) Information and Analysis The Robin Hood railway line, between Nottingham and Worksop, was reopened to passengers in stages in the 1990s. The final section between Mansfield Woodhouse and Worksop, including the four Derbyshire stations at Shirebrook, Langwith – Whaley Thorns, Creswell and Whitwell, was reopened in May 1998. The project was planned to alleviate some of the economic and accessibility issues in the area arising from the closure of collieries. It was initiated at the time when the railway network was still nationalised and original plans envisaged that, once the project’s business case was made and capital funding secured, operation would pass to the then British Rail and any revenue deficits would be met by them. Before the Derbyshire section reopened, British Rail was privatised and new financial arrangements meant that any revenue deficit funding would have to be found by the local authorities involved, including Derbyshire County Council. Despite the project being a success in terms of passengers carried, the new financial model resulted in the local authorities having to fund very substantial revenue deficits. Subsequent discussions with the then Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) generated an agreement that the SRA would fund the revenue deficits for a Monday – Saturday operation but ancillary costs, such as CCTV provision, would remain with the local authorities.

Licence number AL50684A 60963/01/CGJ/ADav 18196319v2 Maid Marian Rail Extension : Economic Impact Analysis Executive Summary 1 This study considers the potential overall economic impact of the new Maid Marian passenger route through Ashfield and Mansfield, with particular regard to the economic benefits and development potential of the four stations in the two districts and the surrounding areas. 2 The proposed method of improving connectivity involves the existing freight-only line between the Robin Hood Line to the West and Erewash Valley Line to the East be reopened to passenger trains. This would connect the four stations in Ashfield and Mansfield directly to the proposed HS2 EMH at Toton with an approximate journey time of 40 minutes. These four stations are Kirkby in Ashfield, Sutton Parkway, Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse. 3 The proposed new line would bring new and quick connections to a range of major cities and Europe; and is expected to bring a range of economic, social and environmental benefits to local residents and businesses, as well as stimulating development activity. The existing four stations presently offer limited facilities and are in need of upgrading, with increased patronage due to the new routes providing the catalyst for wider development opportunities.
