  • The Wider Economic Benefits of High Speed Rail in Scotland
    THE WIDER ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF HIGH SPEED RAIL IN SCOTLAND Peter Fuller John Godwin Iain Paton Halcrow Group Limited 1. SUMMARY Halcrow Group Limited was commissioned by the Glasgow : Edinburgh Collaboration Initiative (GECI) to undertake a study to identify the measures required to ensure that the regional economic benefits to Scotland from High Speed Rail (HSR) can be realised and maximised. There is clear evidence that HSR can create and facilitate significant economic impacts and wider benefits. It is over greater distances that decreased journey times, and consequent economic impacts on business efficiency and competitiveness can be best secured. However, maximum benefit will only be achieved where positive action is taken to realise the full potential in the regions served. Experience shows that HSR will influence socio-economic trends rather than initiate new ones. Trends in the economy and labour market will be influenced by much more powerful forces. Taken in isolation, the economic impacts and immediate wider benefits of HSR in Scotland will not transform the Scottish economy into a world class performer. However, HSR can create opportunities for greater interactions between key businesses working in different markets. This could result in a positive economic flow outward from London, creating powerful regional partners within the UK economy. Scotland must not be left behind in this process and therefore Scotland’s immediate involvement in phase 1 of HSR is of fundamental importance. For benefits of a step change in economic performance to be achieved, the foundation that HSR would provide will need to be linked to an aspirational economic development strategy and implementation plan.

  • New Objectives of the French High-Speed Rail System Within The
    ERSA-NECTAR special session on High-Speed Rail as a new transport network Ne w objectives of the French high-speed rail system within the framework of a highly centralized network: a substitute for the domestic air transport market? Pierre ZEMBRI Université de Cergy-Pontoise EA 4113 Mobilités, Réseaux, Territoires, Environnement 33, boulevard du Port F-95011 CERGY-PONTOISE CEDEX email : [email protected] Summary Since the beginning of high-speed services in France, the TGV network’s main target has been business traffic using the domestic air transport network. Point-to-point services with the lowest number of intermediate stops have been the preferred solution. SNCF can be considered as an active player in the rail/air transport competition, given that it offers rapid travel times, competitive prices and considerable carrying capacities. Frequencies can be high between the largest towns: 16 round-trip services between Paris and Marseilles (840 km, 190 minutes1), 21 between Paris and Bordeaux (620 km, 190 minutes), etc. ID-TGV, a low-cost subsidiary, has also been created. Operating on selected routes, it provides a good level of on- board services as well as some interesting innovations. The development of high-speed lines has created new competition opportunities between the TGV, Air France and other carriers. This partially explains the relative weakness of competition within the domestic air transport sector: even a low-cost carrier like EasyJet tries to avoid competition on routes where the average travel time of the TGV is lower than 3.5 hours. Air France is now planning to progressively downsize its services on routes where the TGV’s market share is increasing: specific point-to-point services to/from Orly Airport will be closed and, by 2016, only a few feeder lines to/from the CDG-Roissy hub will remain.

  • Put the Night Trains Back on Track
    Put the night trains back on track for climate-friendly transports A case study on the potential of the French “Intercités de nuit” by the association « Oui au train de nuit » 2017 A study by “Oui au train de nuit” 0 Version 14 Sep 2017 --- Summary --- The climate challenge of this century encourages to rethink our mobility. Planes and individual cars, very energy-consuming, are used for a great portion of very-long-distance travels (more than 750 km). In order to progress towards modal shift to more ecological modes, massive investments for rail have been made since the 2000's. They have been mostly concentrated on High-Speed-Lines (LGV, in French) projects. But in spite of these huge investments, these projects did not reduce of the emissions of aviation, which keep growing in France. What's more, it is becoming very complicated to finance the expansion of the LGV network, as the most relevant lines – between metropolises separated by 400 to 750 km – have already been built. And nowadays passengers tend to prefer cheaper tickets to faster journeys. Besides, an other rail solution for very long distances, the InterCity Night train (ICN) sees its dismantling accelerated in 2016-2017. As for the classical railway network and the daytime Intercity trains (ICJ for “InterCités de Jour”), they have suffered underinvestment during all these years. Neglected for the last decades, the ICN offer now has problems of visibility, unattractive timetables, and too frequent delays and cancellations: it seems that its use has been – willingly or not – discouraged. SNCF and the French State have kept repeating contradictory justifications around the “alleged deficit” and “empty” night trains, but they have high occupancy rates.

  • Greengauge 21
    Greengauge 21 What will be the spatial effects of High Speed Rail in the UK? Evidence submitted to the Independent Transport Commission November 2012 Executive Summary High speed rail (HSR) can lead to a paradigm shift in the way development takes place across Britain. The impact derives from: Major uplifts in the accessibility and connectivity of the major cities served by HSR The capacity for greater local and regional use that will become available on existing railway lines, expanding labour market catchments, and benefitting a second tier of towns and cities. There are two aspects to the shift to consider. First, there will be a response within each city region. This will see a new pattern of development increasingly switching away from development on the urban periphery and beyond towards city centre and inner city locations. High speed rail can underpin adoption of the ‘Smart Growth’ agenda already being adopted in the USA (partly in response to higher energy costs). Second, there will be a regional-scale shift. This accords well with Government aims to re- balance the national economy, both in sectoral and regional terms, and take pressure off the congested South East. The regions will benefit hugely from transformed levels of accessibility to the capital and to major international gateways. Greengauge 21 identifies three key features of the spatial/developmental impacts of HSR that will stimulate the economies of the key regional cities. These do not apply with equivalent strength in London. International experience is reviewed with an emphasis on the evidence from France. This usefully shows up the need to adopt complementary measures to get the most positive economic development and regeneration benefits.
