PPM* statistics and delay responsibility by route – Period 11 (to 3 February 2018) Gatwick Express Great Northern Southern Thameslink *The public performance measure (PPM) data above shows the percentage of trains which arrive at their terminating station within five minutes of the planned arrival time. It combines figures for punctuality and reliability into a single performance measure. A summary of key issues affecting performance in this period GTR’s PPM in Period 11 was 82.9 per cent, a rise of six percentage points from Period 10. This lifted the Moving Annual Average (MMA) to 81.3 per cent, maintaining the steady improvement achieved through 2017. Within the GTR total, Southern’s PPM increased by almost seven percentage points to 80.9 per cent, edging its MMA up to 79.7 per cent. On Southern, the period’s most disruptive incidents were a points failure near London Victoria (1,700 delay minutes and 32 cancellations), an incident at Durrington-on-Sea (1,066 delay minutes and 44 cancellations), and a track fault near Portsmouth (558 delay minutes and 39 cancellations). Thameslink’s PPM of 89.0 per cent was also an improvement over the previous period’s 85.4 per cent. A loss of power to the track at City Thameslink station caused 1,250 delay minutes and 153 cancellations.

  • A Review of the Thameslink Programme
    The Institution of Railway Signal Engineers Inc Australasian Section Incorporated A Review of the Thameslink Programme Georgina Hartwell MEng (Hons) AMIRSE MIET Network Rail Consulting SUMMARY The aim of this paper is to provide a project description and update to Network Rail’s Thameslink Programme in London. It discusses the history behind the programme and key design considerations. The paper then goes on to look at the reasons behind the decision to implement ATO over ETCS Level 2, before explaining some of the supporting projects and work-streams. In order to successfully commission ATO, a migration strategy and comprehensive set of system proving is required; testing activities are discussed in the paper. Finally, examples of best practice and lessons learned are given, before highlighting key considerations to be made by other high capacity infrastructure projects. 1 INTRODUCTION 3 WHAT IS THAMESLINK?

  • 13 14 Calculating and Sharing Train Occupancy in Real Time
    CALCULATING AND SHARING TRAIN OCCUPANCY IN REAL TIME GOVIA THAMESLINK RAILWAY CASE STUDY 13 14 KNOWING WHICH CARRIAGES ARE FULL IS THE KEY TO REDUCING STATION DWELL TIMES AND IMPROVING THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE. GOVIA THAMESLINK RAILWAY WORKED WITH CACI AND THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON, AND USED WORLD-LEADING TECHNOLOGY TO PROVE THE CONCEPT ON THE GATWICK EXPRESS. SUMMARY Knowing where there’s space on a train – before it arrives in the station – makes a huge difference to passenger experience and operational efficiency alike. For the passenger, the experience of a crowded carriage is much the same whether the train is completely full, or there are seats elsewhere. And for the rail operator, the chance to direct waiting passengers to the best points on the platform can help to reduce station dwell times, as passengers board and alight more easily. These were the issues Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) hoped to address when it won funding from the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) for a research project into understanding real-time passenger numbers aboard the Gatwick Express. It could then apply this knowledge to deliver reliability across its network – most notably the fast-moving Thameslink service. But to prove its concept, GTR needed to tackle two key issues in real time: the actual number of passengers, and the real composition of the train. We’ve proved you can know the exact train composition – and how many passengers are aboard – at any given time. That’s powerful information to keep our customers informed and happy, and our trains running on time. Stewart Wells, Customer Information Projects Manager, Govia Thameslink Railway.

  • Railfuture Autumn 2013 Rail Users Conference
    ISSUE163 September 2014 Internet at www.railfuture.org.uk www.railfuture.org.uk/east html THE CLASS 377, ARRIVING 2017; BETWEEN KING'S LYNN, CAMBRIDGE & KING'S CROSS Yes, it is official; the Class 377, electric units, now running on Thameslink to Bedford from Brighton, will be transferring in 2017 to the Cambridge Cruiser service from King's Cross station (not Thameslink) through to King's Lynn. Compared with the current rolling stock this means air-conditioned, double glazed, quieter journeys on most of these services. Significant on a route containing no fewer than nine tunnels, especially when the 'hopper' windows are open. Read more inside on this and GTR, the new franchisee replacing First Capital Connect. 1 What an amalgam; the constituent parts of Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), as the franchise is to be known from 14 September this year. For many years members of the Branch attended at least twice a year the meetings of the Thameslink 2000 Consortium; an important grouping of local authorities plus pressure groups such as ours. It kept the burning flame of the idea in the sight of all MPs and Ministers, stressing the importance of the project to the entire South-East economy, not just to London. We like to think it ensured the scheme remained regionally based rather than defaulting to just a metro-style line, like Crossrail. Obviously we were successful even if the title 'Thameslink' had to drop the suffix 2000! How time flies! So let us not forget this amazingly stubborn work by the Consortium. After all these years it is more than a pleasure to now see all the parts of Thameslink coming together in 2018.

  • ESC 250 Turnouts and Special Trackwork
    Technical Note – TN 003: 2018 For queries regarding this document [email protected] www.transport.nsw.gov.au Technical Note – TN 003: 2018 Issue date: 23 August 2018 Effective date: 23 August 2018 Subject: Turnout speeds and crossing selection This technical note is issued by the Asset Standards Authority (ASA) as an update to ESC 250 Turnouts and Special Trackwork, version 4.8 to restrict the design speed through higher speed turnouts and crossovers, provide restrictions on the use of certain crossing types and correct some typographical errors. Higher speed turnouts, when used in a crossover or a reversing curve situation without transitions, can result in higher maintenance requirements and increased passenger discomfort. Swing nose and spring wing crossings are permitted to be used with tangential turnouts, but due to whole-of-life costs considerations, restrictions on their use have been expanded. The updates include amendments to Section 6.1.5 as follows: 1. Section 6.1.5 Crossings Replace the contents of Section 6.1.5 with the following: The selection of turnouts is dependent upon the criteria for crossing rates and crossing types. For crossing rate see Section 6.1.5.1 and for crossing type see Section 6.1.5.2. 1.1. Section 6.1.5.1 Selection of crossing rate The selection of the crossing rate shall be based on the geometric design of the turnout and the associated limiting speeds of the mainline and turnout roads. Turnout speeds shall be determined by applying design standards for track geometry detailed in ESC 210 Track Geometry and Stability.

  • Thameslink-East Coast Tunnel Link Work Starts
    Welcome [email protected] Search site resources Log out Front page News & analysis Intelligence & resources Agenda & monitors Subscribe About News Analysis Thameslink-East Coast tunnel link work starts Canal Tunnels: Network Rail Posted 11/09/13 installing track, signalling, power and safety systems Network Rail has announced what it describes as the first stage of work to connect two new Thameslink rail tunnels to the national network.
