  • Passenger Information During Snow Disruption December 2010
    Passenger information during snow disruption December 2010 A Rail passenger Information during snow disruption December 2010 Headline Findings 1. The National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website appears to have coped well with very high volumes 2. The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies (TOCs) 3. The online journey planners on TOC and third-party websites did not generally reflect the contingency timetables in operation 4. Tickets continued to be available for sale online for many trains that would not run 5. Station displays appear to have reflected formal contingency timetables, except for Southeastern 6. Station displays and online Live Departure Boards did not always keep pace with events 7. The NRE call centres appear to have provided good information, but queuing times of 11 or 12 minutes were common. 1 The National Rail Enquiries appears to have coped well with very high volumes We saw no evidence that the NRE website crashed or was slower than usual, despite a large spike in volume (Chris Scoggins reported that the volume on 2 December was twice the previous record peak on 7 January 2010). 2 The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies NRE had to advise passengers not to use the journey planner for enquiries about East Coast, Southeastern and South West Trains. This was a significant failure, with three scenarios: 2a Although the journey planner showed services from a contingency timetable for East Coast on 1 and 2 December, it also showed services from the base timetable that were no longer running.

  • Acquisition by Arriva Rail North Limited of the Northern Rail Franchise
    Acquisition by Arriva Rail North Limited of the Northern rail franchise Summary of final report 2 November 2016 Background 1. On 20 May 2016, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), in the exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act), referred the completed acquisition by Arriva Rail North Limited (ARN), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arriva plc (Arriva), of the Northern rail franchise (the Northern Franchise) (altogether the Merger) for further investigation and report by a group of CMA panel members (inquiry group). Throughout this document, where appropriate, we refer to Arriva, ARN and the Northern Franchise collectively as ‘the Parties’. 2. In exercise of its duty under section 35(1) of the Act, the CMA must decide: (a) whether a relevant merger situation has been created; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition (SLC) within any market or markets in the United Kingdom (UK) for goods or services. The rail and bus sectors in Great Britain 3. Franchised train operating companies (franchised TOCs) operate passenger rail franchises and are awarded the right to run specific services within a specified area for a specific period of time, in return for the right to charge fares. Where appropriate, franchised TOCs receive financial support from the franchising authority, which is currently the Rail Group in the Department for Transport (DfT).1 There are currently 16 franchises operating in England and Wales and two in Scotland. 1 Transport Scotland is the franchising authority for the ScotRail and Caledonian Sleeper franchises.

Declarations of Interest There were no declarations of interest received. 64. Minutes of the Last Meeting Resolved that the minutes of the last meeting held on 2 March 2017 be approved as a correct record. 65. Arriva Presentation The Committee considered a presentation from Howard Farrall, Area Managing Director of Arriva Merseyside with regard to their operations. Councillor Robinson thanked Mr Farrall for the presentation and referred to a previous meeting he had attended whereby he was questioned about the price of travel for young people. As the Committee were aware, this issue reached a satisfactory conclusion shortly after the meeting and he hoped that any matters that arose during the discussion today could be resolved in a similar manner. Councillor Abbey referred to the challenge that Arriva Merseyside faced with achieving the company’s Merseytravel Committee commercial interests but also fulfilling the commitments of the Liverpool City Region Bus Alliance (the Alliance). One particular example was fares as Arriva had recently announced a fare increase, however, this went against the aims of the Alliance. He went on to commend the Alliance’s achievement of almost 10% passenger growth and asked what Arriva’s plans were to support future growth.
