    00 Arriva NOW! December 2009 3 Back to the floor MEETING and exceeding customers’ expectations is a priority at Arriva and National Customer Service Week (NCSW) provided the perfect opportunity to demonstrate this. Highlighting how important good customer care is for the business was just one of the benefits of NCSW, which was held from 5-9 October. It was also a chance for Arriva’s excellent customer service to shine. It was the first time Arriva had taken part in the national event and the newly centralised customer service team at Aintree and Luton used Customer service advisor Steve Byrne with operations manager Mark Brack. the occasion to organise a range of events and activities. Cross-team quizzes, a dress-down day at Aintree and a colour-themed day at Luton were just a few of the highlights. The Institute of Customer Service visited Luton, and managers from across the business went “back to the floor”. Feedback In Glasgow, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Wakefield and Whitby managers and directors joined passengers on Arriva’s buses to get face-to-face feedback. Managers and directors also took to the phones to listen to what customers had to say. Mark Brack, operations manager at Arriva North West’s St Helens’ garage, was just one of the managers who went “back to the floor” and says he found it to be a very helpful and interesting experience. Mark spent several hours with customer service advisor Steve Byrne at Aintree and was impressed with the professionalism of the team. Bob Winnington, Institute of Customer Service director, left, and customer service manager Linsey Frostick, right, He said: “I really admire the team’s knowledge, present Luton customer service advisor Dainh Danzine with a prize.

  • Competition Act 1998
    Competition Act 1998 Decision of the Office of Rail Regulation* English Welsh and Scottish Railway Limited Relating to a finding by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) of an infringement of the prohibition imposed by section 18 of the Competition Act 1998 (the Act) and Article 82 of the EC Treaty in respect of conduct by English Welsh and Scottish Railway Limited. Introduction 1. This decision relates to conduct by English Welsh and Scottish Railway Limited (EWS) in the carriage of coal by rail in Great Britain. 2. The case results from two complaints. 3. On 1 February 2001 Enron Coal Services Limited (ECSL)1 submitted a complaint to the Director of Fair Trading2. Jointly with ECSL, Freightliner Limited (Freightliner) also, within the same complaint, alleged an infringement of the Chapter II prohibition in respect of a locomotive supply agreement between EWS and General Motors Corporation of the United States (General Motors). Together these are referred to as the Complaint. The Complaint alleges: “[…] that English, Welsh and Scottish Railways Limited (‘EWS’), the dominant supplier of rail freight services in England, Wales and Scotland, has systematically and persistently acted to foreclose, deter or limit Enron Coal Services Limited’s (‘ECSL’) participation in the market for the supply of coal to UK industrial users, particularly in the power sector, to the serious detriment of competition in that market. The complaint concerns abusive conduct on the part of EWS as follows. • Discriminatory pricing as between purchasers of coal rail freight services so as to disadvantage ECSL. *Certain information has been excluded from this document in order to comply with the provisions of section 56 of the Competition Act 1998 (confidentiality and disclosure of information) and the general restrictions on disclosure contained at Part 9 of the Enterprise Act 2002.

    CNI-Working Paper No. 2006-14 Does Competition for the Field Improve Cost Efficiency? Evidence from the London Bus Tendering Model Miguel AMARAL ATOM – U. of Paris I Sorbonne Stéphane SAUSSIER ADIS – U. of Paris 11 & ATOM – U. of Paris I Sorbonne Anne YVRANDE-BILLON ATOM – U. of Paris I Sorbonne Center for Network Industries and Infrastructure (CNI) at Berlin University of Technology (TU Berlin) www.cni.tu-berlin.de 5th Conference on Applied Infrastructure Research Berlin, 6-7 October, 2006 Does Competition for the Field Improve Cost Efficiency? Evidence from the London Bus Tendering Model * Miguel AMARAL ATOM – U. of Paris I Sorbonne Stéphane SAUSSIER ADIS – U. of Paris 11 & ATOM – U. of Paris I Sorbonne ∗ Anne YVRANDE-BILLON ATOM – U. of Paris I Sorbonne September 13th, 2006 Abstract In this paper we investigate the relationship between auctions’ results and the number of bidders for local transportation contracts in London. Using an original database concerning 294 local transportation routes we find that a higher number of bidders is associated with a lower cost of service. This finding, in addition of being one of the first empirical test of a crucial and understudied theoretical issue has important policy implications, especially for countries in which bids are organized such that only few bidders are allowed to answer (e.g. France). Key Words: public services, transportation, franchise bidding, public-private partnerships, winner’s curse, auctions. JEL Codes: H0, H7, K00, L33 * We would like to thank the Law and Justice French Mission for their financial help in conducing this study. ∗ Corresponding Author.
