  • Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
    Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail.

  • Recent Developments in Rail Transportation Services 2013
    Recent Developments in Rail Transportation Services 2013 The OECD Competition Committee discussed the recent developments in rail transportation services in June 2013. This document includes an executive summary of that debate and the documents from the meeting: an analytical note by the OECD Secretariat, written submissions from Australia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, the European Union, France, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, Spain, Chinese Taipei, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States, and a summary of the discussion. Railway reforms are still very much in progress in many countries. This Roundtable discusses the changes that have happened since the Competition Committee last examined this sector in February 2005 and examines their impact on the performance of the railway sector. The main changes have taken place in Europe where first the freight market and then the market for international passenger services have been opened to competition on the tracks across the whole Union. Domestic passenger services will follow suit in 2020, though a few countries have already liberalised this last part of the railway sector. The introduction of open competition is leading to numerous antitrust cases where separation between the incumbent railway undertaking and the infrastructure manager is not complete, thus keeping alive the debate on the pros and cons of vertical separation. In addition some countries have introduced tendering procedure to allocate concession for the provision of passenger services, mostly for heavily subsidised local and regional services, to obtain the benefits of competition even when the market cannot support multiple operators. From these experiences lessons can be learnt on how tenders should be run and contracts should be designed in order to maximise the benefits that competition for the market can bring.

I am pleased to present the latest output from the Network Route Utilisation Strategy To achieve this will require the procurement of workstream: a draft strategy for passenger rolling stock to be fully aligned with planning the rolling stock procurement and associated capability of the infrastructure across the entire infrastructure planning. The document has network. Piecemeal approaches, or been produced in conjunction with train approaches which give low priority to whole-life operators, representatives of customers, whole-industry costs, to operational flexibility, or manufacturers and rolling stock owning groups to the interface between wheel and rail, are as well as the Department for Transport, unlikely to prove efficient. Transport Scotland, the Welsh Assembly Government, The Passenger Transport Going forward, we seek to work with our Executive Group and Transport for London. industry partners and, through engagement with the Rail Delivery Group, to take on the Under whichever structure the British railway challenge of driving out unnecessary cost from network has been organised, the alignment of the planning of future rolling stock, together passenger rolling stock procurement with a) with the infrastructure to accommodate it, to the customer needs and expectations and b) the ultimate benefit of passenger and taxpayer characteristics of the railway infrastructure has alike. always been complex.

  • Future of Britain's Railways
    LIVERPOOL CITY REGION COMBINED AUTHORITY To: The Chair and Members of the Transport Committee Meeting: 15 July 2021 Authority/Authorities Affected: All EXEMPT/CONFIDENTIAL ITEM: No REPORT OF ASSISTANT DIRECTOR RAIL FUTURE OF BRITAIN’S RAILWAYS: WILLIAMS - SHAPPS PLAN FOR RAIL 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT This report is to advise Members of the recent publication of the government white paper – Williams Shapps Plan for Rail and the impacts of the proposals on the local rail network. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Transport Committee: (a) note the contents of the report; (b) note the creation of a new organisation, Great British Railways (GBR) to take on the responsibility for rail services and infrastructure in England; (c) note the potential for LCRCA to work closer with Network Rail/GBR to be a pilot location for the trial of a locally integrated team looking at both infrastructure and train operations; and (d) request updates on the implementation of the Plan for Rail as the new GBR structure and plans are developed. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 Members will recall the severe disruption to the rail industry following the introduction of a new rail timetable in May 2018. Consequently the government decided to carry out a detailed review of the rail industry. The review was led by independent Chair Keith Williams, the former Chairman and Chief Executive of British Airways. 3.2 The review carried out extensive stakeholder engagement and the expectation was that the report would provide its findings through the publication of a government White Paper in the autumn of 2019.
