  • Britain's Railways
    BRITAIN’S RAILWAYS MUCH MORE FOR MUCH LESS August 2010 Front cover picture of Siemens Desiro electric train at Northampton by Philip Bisatt Rear cover picture of Glasgow by Network Rail The Railway Development Society Limited Registered in England and Wales No: 5011634 A Company Limited by Guarantee Registered Office: 24 Chedworth Place, Tattingstone, Suffolk IP9 2ND www.railfuture.org.uk INTRODUCTION Railfuture is Britain’s only completely independent voice on railway development. We are not affiliated to or supported by any political party, trade union or by private industry. We receive almost no funding from any source other than our members. We are convinced that in the current economic climate rail travel and rail freight represent wise investments for the future of this country. We are pro-rail but not anti-road. We believe that all transport modes have their place in a vibrant, modern, integrated, environmentally efficient market economy. We believe that investment can be made sensibly and cost-effectively to achieve: Britain’s Railways – Much More for Much Less. COSTS INDUSTRY COSTS – MYTH AND REALITY We need to emphasise that there is a significant difference between the gross and net costs of the rail industry after allowing for money paid to government from Corporation tax, Industrial Buildings tax, fuel tax, Community Infrastructure Levy, VAT, Uniform Business Rates and income tax from a combined workforce of about 150,000 people, together with premium payments and revenue sharing agreements paid by the train operating companies. Investment should be excluded from annual costs since rail projects have a very long payback period.

  • Friends of the Far North Line
    WRITTEN EVIDENCE FROM FRIENDS OF THE FAR NORTH LINE Executive Summary The Friends of the Far North Line (FoFNL) is calling for a not-for-profit model for the future operation of ScotRail and a strong programme of finance for Network Rail to enable it to progress its enhancement projects. FoFNL calls for a new geographically representative body to represent rail passengers throughout Scotland. FoFNL calls for some timing trials with more powerful trains on the Highland Main Line (HML) to help determine what kind of rolling stock is most suitable for the future. FoFNL wishes to see some faster limited-stop three hour services introduced on the HML before 2014. FoFNL calls on the Scottish Government to aim to complete both the HML and Aberdeen – Inverness “strategic priority” schemes by 2017 such that, allowing for any slippage, they will definitely be completed by the end of Control Period 5 (CP5) in 2019. FoFNL has submitted to Transport Scotland a professionally compiled blueprint for an hourly service between Inverness and Tain which it hopes might be implemented early in CP5. FoFNL calls for the retention of, and improvements to, both the sleepers and the daytime cross-border services to the north of Scotland. The reintroduction of a daytime through train via the West Coast Main Line is requested, as is the reintroduction of Motorail. Background 1) The new ScotRail franchise from 2014 will enable the Scottish Government, if it so chooses, to make a step change towards implementing various aims of national policy. 2) FoFNL is a 180-member Rail User Group founded in 1994 and is grateful for the invitation to share its thoughts for the new franchise with the Committee.

  • The Roads and Railways
    The Roads and Railways ntil the eighteenth century, villagers travelled slowly on local by- ways and drove roads. Local landowners and gentry helped improve Utransport by financing the first turnpike roads at the end of the seventeenth century. They were managed by local trusts and the costs of construction were recouped by tolls collected by pikemen. The Temple family of Stowe helped finance the turnpike that passed Finmere. It ran from Bedford via Stony Stratford, Buckingham, Tingewick, Aynho and Banbury to Warmington in Warwickshire. The section that bypassed Finmere (the old B4031) was the first to be built in 1744. There was a turnpike at ‘Finmere 1784 2000 Warren Gates,’ the tolls from which produced an income of £253 a year in 1784. After construction of the turnpike, the old Roman road was left as a £253 £20,000 bridleway. In 1813, a turnpike branch was laid from the Red Lion to Bicester. The Stowe Road Dadford ord Temple, Richard Grenville, inherited Stowe in 1749.

    Rolling Stock: Locomotives and Rail Cars Industry & Trade Summary Office of Industries Publication ITS-08 March 2011 Control No. 2011001 UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION Karen Laney Acting Director of Operations Michael Anderson Acting Director, Office of Industries This report was principally prepared by: Peder Andersen, Office of Industries [email protected] With supporting assistance from: Monica Reed, Office of Industries Wanda Tolson, Office of Industries Under the direction of: Deborah McNay, Acting Chief Advanced Technology and Machinery Division Cover photo: Courtesy of BNSF Railway Co. Address all communication to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov Preface The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has initiated its current Industry and Trade Summary series of reports to provide information on the rapidly evolving trade and competitive situation of the thousands of products imported into and exported from the United States. Over the past 20 years, U.S. international trade in goods and services has risen by almost 350 percent, compared to an increase of 180 percent in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), before falling sharply in late 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn. During the same two decades, international supply chains have become more global and competition has increased. Each Industry and Trade Summary addresses a different commodity or industry and contains information on trends in consumption, production, and trade, as well as an analysis of factors affecting industry trends and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. This report on the railway rolling stock industry primarily covers the period from 2004 to 2009, and includes data for 2010 where available.

  • Inverness-Courier-Save-Our-Trains.Pdf
    This petition has collected 1852 signatures using the online tools at iPetitions.com Printed on 02-20-2012 Page 1 of 119 Save Our Trains About the petition Direct trains between Inverness and London could be axed under a review of Scotland's rail services. The futures of both the Highland Chieftain, which provides a daily daytime service, and the overnight Highland Sleeper are being queried in a consultation being carried out by Transport Scotland. Their loss would force passengers to change at Edinburgh. The Inverness Courier believes that direct rail links between the UK and Highland capitals are not just a matter of convenience. Reliable and fast transport links can make the difference between the success and failure of the Highland economy. The closing date for the consultation is 20th February 2012 and the outcome will published later in 2012. If you support the Courier's Save Our Trains campaign, please sign below and we will ensure your views are heard at Holyrood. Page 2 of 119 Signatures 1. Name: Angie Wood on Nov 22, 2011 Comments: 2. Name: I Taylor on Nov 22, 2011 Comments: I utilized this service on a Friday - when I travel from Perth to Inverness. I do not see why this train should be terminated at Edinburgh. Such a proposal is only (in my view) to up ScotRails numbers. That would then lower ScotRails handout. Which then allows ScotRail to expand it services in CENTRAL SCOTLAND Why does this proposal not include full electrification of the Perth to Inverness and Inverness to Aberdeen line.

  • 3.20 Down Manchester,” L.N.E.R
    No. 9 The “3.20 Down Manchester,” L.N.E.R. First published in the Meccano Magazine September 1927 It was something of a shock to the well-established London and North Western and Great Northern Railways when the Midland signified its intention of extending its ramified system southward to its own terminus in London and, as an earnest of the intention, ran a line through Bedford to Hitchin and monopolised a large share of the Great Northern main line into King’s Cross until its own St. Pancras Station was ready in 1868. Still more of a surprise, perhaps, was given to all these three companies when, nearly at the close of last century, in the face of determined opposition, the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway obtained Parliamentary powers to do exactly the same thing. Prior to the opening of the “London Extension” in 1899, the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire was an important system crossing the country from Cleethorpes and Grimsby in the east, through Sheffield and Barnsley to Manchester in the west, with a share in the large joint railway known as the Cheshire Lines Committee, and important interests in North Wales, its southernmost tentacle extended to Annesley, near Nottingham. The powers obtained enabled the M.S. and L. Company to prolong this line southward through Nottingham, Leicester and Rugby to a 1 junction with the London Metropolitan Railway, which had advanced northward to a point beyond Aylesbury. As a result of this vastly important development the provincial railway required a new name, and included in the Parliamentary powers was the authority to change its name from Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire to the imposing title of “Great Central” Railway.

Editorial As can be seen opposite in Paul Steedman’s picture, we have moved from South West Trains 20 year tenure of our local franchise to the new South Western Railway operation.
