CHAIRPERSON’S INTRODUCTION The Rail Management Act 1996 (RMA) sets out the Victorian rail access regime that applies to providers of declared rail infrastructure. The RMA prescribes that the Commission is responsible for administering the Victorian Rail Access Regime. Through Declaration Orders, the Victorian Government determines which infrastructure services are declared for access. The Victorian regional rail network is declared for access and V/Line is the operator and access provider for this rail network. Under the RMA, V/Line must at all times have an approved access arrangement in place with the Commission. Access arrangements encourage competition and efficiency in the rail freight industry by allowing freight operators to access certain declared infrastructure. This enables freight operators to compete in markets where competition is dependent on such access. On 30 March 2012, the Commission received an application from V/Line to renew its access arrangement. On 5 April 2012, the Commission published a notice in the Melbourne Age and Herald Sun newspapers regarding V/Line’s application and undertook a stakeholder consultation process whereby stakeholders and the public were invited to make a submission regarding the application. Two submissions were received from stakeholders and these submissions were considered in preparing the Commission’s draft decision. The Commission’s draft decision regarding V/Line’s proposed access arrangement was published on 31 May 2012 and a further round of consultation undertaken. Two submissions to the draft decision were received (one from the Public Transport Development Authority, operating as Public Transport Victoria, and one from a member of the public) and those submissions were considered in preparing the Commission’s final decision. In response to the draft decision, V/Line submitted a revised access arrangement on 14 June 2012. In making its final decision, the Commission has had regard to whether the revised access arrangement contains the specific elements and meets the relevant requirements of the RMA. The Commission has made its final decision to approve V/Line’s revised access arrangement. This final decision outlines the Commission’s reasoning for deciding to approve the revised access arrangement.

This has assisted the Commission to make its final decision on V/Line’s access arrangement.

Above rail costs Costs related to train operation, rolling stock and related activities/services. Above rail operator A person or company that operates (runs) rolling stock (trains) for movement of freight/cargo. Usually a train/freight operator. Access The use of infrastructure owned and/or operated by another party. Access agreement A standard (pro forma) agreement between an access provider and an access seeker that sets out the contractual terms of access. Can be negotiated between the parties. Once signed becomes contractual. Access arrangement Sets out the process and protocols and information for obtaining access to the rail network. It includes the access agreement. Also referred to as an access undertaking by the Commonwealth (ACCC) and other State regulators. Access arrangement Information provided by the access provider to an access information seeker. Access charge A price paid in return for access to infrastructure. Access holder A freight operator (i.e. network user) who has signed an access agreement with V/Line and thus holds access rights (i.e. entitlements to train paths) to the rail network. Access provider A provider of declared rail transport services (i.e. V/Line). Access regime The overarching legislative framework for access (see Part 2A of the Rail Management Act 1996). ESSENTIAL SERVICES COMMISSION V/LINE ACCESS GLOSSARY VIII VICTORIA ARRANGEMENT Access seeker A person seeking access to a declared rail transport service. Usually an above rail operator. Becomes an access holder once they sign an access agreement with the access provider. Account Keeping Rules A Commission Instrument which requires access providers to maintain and provide the Commission with accounting records and accounts. Ballast The material upon which the sleepers bear. It is used to form the road bed of a railway track. It is laid on the base formation with the rack laid on top of it and provides a storm water drainage medium. Ballast cleaning The process of extracting the ballast from the railway track and shaking or washing the ballast to remove detrimental material, and then returning it back to the track. The process improves the performance of the ballast by removing the material that tends to lubricate the ballast particles. The process is most commonly performed using a track mounted machine and the track is relatively undisturbed while it occurs. Below rail The rail track infrastructure, including rail, sleepers, signals, overhead power systems and track fencing. Below rail costs Costs related to the rail track and related structures. Bridges (over and under the Overbridges are those that go over the track and are track) typically pedestrian footbridges or road bridges. Underbridges are under the track and typically convey rivers, subways, or roadways. The bridge structure is separate from the earth formation that is usually under the track but abuts the earth formation at the ‘abutments’. Capacity Use Rules A Commission Instrument which improves the functionality of a third party access regime by ensuring a fair and reasonable allocation of network capacity to access seekers and users. Commission Instruments Rules and guidelines made by the Commission which are intended to ensure that the Victorian Rail Access Regime is efficient and effective.

No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Authorised by the Victorian Government, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne. Minister’s Foreword In February 2004, after the failure of the original privatisation framework, the Victorian Government entered into new franchise agreements with Melbourne’s public transport companies, Yarra Trams and Connex. These partnership agreements find the balance between government support for public transport in Melbourne and the operational expertise provided by experienced private rail operators. Almost one year on, the new arrangements are running smoothly, providing stability across the public transport system and giving a solid foundation for a range of improvements in service delivery. Some of the other benefits to passengers that stem from these agreements include: • Additional front-line customer service staff; • Increased security patrols; • Improved driver training programs; • All night New Year’s Eve services; • Additional rolling stock; and • Improved standards for the upkeep of transport facilities. The key themes of this summary report include the background to the failure of the original contracts, the renegotiations, the nature of the new partnership agreements and the challenges of the refranchising process. You can obtain the latest information about Melbourne’s public transport by visiting www.doi.vic.gov.au/transport I commend this report to you.
