    Milton Keynes Rail Services – Matter 5 – Transport – 24 July

    Milton Keynes rail services – Matter 5 – Transport – 24 th July – Jim Middleton – REP/269971 1. Since I wrote my initial submission there have been some positive changes so I have revised my statement. Firstly on Crossrail there is now the inclusion in the Network Rail Programme of a Crossrail extension to join the West Coast mainline near Willesden. I petitioned and appeared before both the Commons and Lords Crossrail Select Committees to put my basic case that the Crossrail services proposed were a waste of expensive tunnelling under Central London and that Crossrail should be a Thameslink style regional rail scheme. Not a downgrading of main railway lines to a London Underground type operation that hardly crosses the M25. The Committees were only allowed to consider details of the scheme and not whether it made transport sense but particularly the Lords Select Committee encouraged me to continue my campaign. 2. The recent work done by the wider rail industry for their report London and SE RUS confirms that the Crossrail scheme is poor use of the central tunnels and the 28 trains out of the 48 each hour not getting west of Paddington are wasted. The RUS proposes a link to WCML which will allow trains from WCML to access directly Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf. Potentially there are huge benefits for Milton Keynes if the opportunity is taken – particularly when HS2 allows more fast suburban services into London. 3. Although the West Coast mainline has been upgraded at enormous expense with years of chronic disruption and weeks of blockades for Milton Keynes residents what has emerged nothing like what people were expecting.

  • Hsuk London Terminal Strategy

    Hsuk London Terminal Strategy

    HSUK LONDON TERMINAL STRATEGY In the development of high speed rail systems, the issue of terminal location and onward distribution of passengers assumes almost as much importance as the more obvious question of route. The new lines are designed to carry large volumes of passengers on trains operating at high frequencies, and these factors combine to create major flows arriving at city terminals which must then be efficiently dispersed onto the local public transport networks. This demands full integration of high speed and local systems, with optimised transfer at dedicated and fit-for- purpose terminals. These issues apply at all UK cities where high speed lines are planned, but are most acute in London, where passenger flows are greatest, and congestion in the existing public transport system is most critical. The following diagrams review existing central London connectivity issues, and compare and contrast the London terminal solutions proposed for HS2, and for the alternative High Speed UK proposals. For precise details of the core High Speed UK proposals (as included in the cost estimates), see the ‘200k’ series of plans. LTS1 : LONDON MAIN LINE NETWORK CIRCA 1963 LTS2 : EXISTING CENTRAL LONDON RAIL NETWORK INCLUDING CROSSRAIL SCHEME These diagrams show the rail network of central London, dominated by the classic terminus stations of the Victorian era. These are mostly reliant for onward connectivity upon the Tube network, which tended to form ‘nodes’ around the busier/more important termini. However, the change from main line to Tube is inherently inefficient, with passengers forced to detrain en masse, and with massive congestion occurring especially at rush hours.

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 because the previous operator of the railway passenger services comprised of the Thameslink Great Northern franchise, First Capital Connect and Southern Railways, operated a Penalty Fares Scheme in such franchise area and the experience has proved that it is an efficient means to deter ticketless travel. In addition, once some Southeastern routes and stations are integrated into the TSGN franchise from 14 December 2014 and once the entire current Southern franchise is integrated into the TSGN franchise on 26th July 2015, it is important that there is consistency across all franchise areas (as Southeastern and Southern both also operate a Penalty Fares Scheme); so as to avoid causing confusion for our passengers. This scheme will now include all stations under schemes previously operated by Govia Thameslink Railway Limited and Southern Railway Limited.
