Cab.26J 1.2008/13.2 BARNSLEY METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL Cab.26j 1.2008/13.2 BARNSLEY METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL This matter is not a Key Decision within the Council's definition and has not been included in the relevant Forward Plan. Report of Executive Director, Development Directorate YORKSHIRE AND HUMBER RAIL UTILISATION STRATEGY 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 This report seeks to ensure members are aware of the Consultation process taking place as part of the Yorkshire and Humber Rail Utilisation Strategy (RUS). 1.2 This report also seeks approval of the Cabinet to the Council's RUS Consultation response to Network Rail. 2. Recommendation 2.1 It is recommended that the cabinet approve the response to the consultation. 3. Introduction 3.1 The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) requires Network Rail to produce Rail Utilisation Strategies (RUS) covering all the rail services in the UK (19 in total).The objective of the various RUS's is to "encourage effective and efficient use and development of capacity available, consistent with funding that is or is reasonably likely to become available during the period of the RUS..." 3.2 A stakeholder consultation process began in October and officec have attended a briefing to discuss the various recommendations within he Yorkshire and Humber Rail Utilisation Strategy Draftlhe Consultation will conclude on the 18th December, following which Network Rail will produce a final version likely to be launched early new year. 3.3 Prior to launch of the draft consultation document discussions took place with Network Rail and SYPTE to facilitate the development of the strategy. 4. Proposal and Justification 4.1 Officers from both Transportation and Planning Policy sections of the Development Directorate have reviewed the Yorkshire and Humber RUS and comphed a Barnsley specific response to Network Rail. A summary of which is attached. 4.2 The RUS provides an indication of the future programme of infrastructure and rail service improvements proposed by Network Rail over the coming years. The recommendations to:- • Strengthen peak time services between Barnsley and Sheffield by increasing capacity, • Doubling capacity on the Penistone line should the tram train not be retained and • The need for bi- directional signalling in the area is most welcome (despite the latter having no implementation date). 4.3 It is however, unfortunate that the improvements do not seem to be in line with the aspirations of the Borough in terms of its connectivity, particularly across the Pennines and south towards the capital. It is also of concern that the improvements proposed will not have sufficient capacity to accommodate future growth. 4.4 The combination of increasing road traffic congestion and the success of the existing fast service to Leeds and Sheffield is likely to place significant pressure on capacity. 4.5 Whilst it is recognised that the cost of improving the network will be considerable, the RUS has the potential to make a step change in addressing the long term challenges of increasing costs of congestion on the regional economy and the environment in the sub-region. In our view in its present form the document Is not contributing significantly that much needed step change. 5. Consideration of Alternative Approaches 5.1 An alternative approach would be for the Council not to respond to the Consultation. This approach would be seen as missed opportunity to contribute to the process and consequently could have adverse effects on the future rail services into Barnsley, in particular the boroughs region, national and international connectivity. 6. Local Area Implications 6.1 Consultation response includes reference to improvements to existing rail services across the borough and with no specific local area implications. The aim of the response being to improve rail services throughout. 7. Compatibility with European Convention on Human Rights 7.1 The matters raised in this report comply with convention rights. 8. Promoting Equality and Diversity and Social Inclusion 8.1 Securing and improving social inclusion is a key theme of the SYLTP2 and considerable effort is being devoted to developing a robust strategy for this purpose. The improvements proposed in the consultation response will support the existing strategy. 9. Reduction of Crime and Disorder 9.1 There are no specific considerations at this strategic level of region and local transport planning. 10. Conservation of Biodiversity 10.1 There are no specific considerations at this strategic level. 11. Risk Management Issues, including Health and Safety 11.1 There are no specific risks associated with the RUS. The risks are associated with performance in implementation and delivery against RUS implementation programme and these lie with Network Rail. These include risks which are delays and slippage in spending and failing to meet targets. 12. Financial Implications 12.1 There are no direct financial implications arising from the recommendations contained within this report. 13. Employee Implications 13.1 There are no specific employment implications associated with the RUS. 14. Glossary RUS Rail Utilisation Strategy SYLTP2 Second South Yorkshire Local Transport Plan 15.

APPENDIX 1 Barnsley MBC Consultation Response to The Yorkshire and Humber Rail Utilisation Strategy (RUS) Initial Comments Passenger Services The RUS provides an indication of the future programme of infrastructure and rail service improvements proposed by Network Rail over the coming years. The recommendations to: • Strengthen peak time services between Barnsley and Sheffield by increasing capacity, • Doubling capacity on the Penistone line should the tram train not be retained and • The need for bi- directional signalling in the area is most welcome. (despite the latter having no implementation date.) It is however, unfortunate that the improvements do not seem to be in line with the aspirations of the Borough in terms of its connectivity, particularly across the Pennines and south towards the capital. It is also of concern that the improvements proposed will not have sufficient capacity to accommodate future growth in the longer term. The combination of increasing road traffic congestion and the success of the existing fast service to Leeds and Sheffield is likely to place significant pressure on capacity. Freight The reference to the limited line gauge and the absence of passing loops is well made in the document. However the potential for reducing the delay on passenger services, particularly those caused by coal trains on the ECML requires more detail. This would clarify the linkage to the Freight RUS and illustrate the influence infrastructure improvements can have in encouraging long distance freight movements as well as improving journey times and reliability for passenger services. The RUS quite rightly raises the potential growth in intermodal freight. This is particularly relevant as a large number of distribution centres and warehousing units are based in South Yorkshire i.e. major retailers such as B&Q, Next, Aldi etc. This highlights the potential for increasing freight movement by rail to Doncaster rail port, Wakefield Europort and possibly beyond to dedicated freight sidings in the future. Many of the existing movements currently use local and major trunk roads from the Humber ports and at present the only convenient rail freight facility in South Yorkshire is E:\CABINET REPORTS\3. DEVELOPMENT\081 126 Cabinet\Yorkshire and Humber Rail Utilisation Strategy App 1.doc Doncaster rail port. The Freight Facility Grant does however, offer opportunities to increase rail freight movements using the recent improved rail links from the Humber ports to the distribution and warehousing mentioned above.

    2019/1013 Applicant: National Grid Description: Planning application for National Grid's Visual Impact Provision (VIP) project involving the following works:1) Construction of a new sealing end compound, including permanent access; 2) Construction of a temporary haul road from Brook Hill Lane including widened bellmouth; 3) Construction of a temporary Trans Pennine Trail Diversion to be used for approximately 12 - 18 months; following construction approximately 410m of said diversion surface would be retained permanently; and 4) Erection of two bridges (one temporary and one permanent) along the Trans Pennine Trail diversion Site Address: Land off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield Site Description The site stretches from Dunford Bridge in the Peak District National Park to Wogden Foot LWS approximately 1.8km to the east. With the exception of the sealing end compounds at either end, the site is linear and broadly follows the route of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT). At Dunford Bridge the site extends to the former rail tunnel entrance and includes the existing sealing end compound located behind properties on Don View. Beyond this is the TPT car park and the TPT itself which is a former rail line running from Dunford Bridge to Penistone; now utilised as a bridleway. The site takes in land adjacent the TPT along which a temporary diverted bridleway route is proposed. In addition, Wogden Foot, a Local Wildlife Site (LWS) located 1.8km to the east is included (in part) as the proposed location of a new sealing end compound; construction access to this from Windle Edge also forms part for the application.

By Mark Parry With the proposed trans-Pennine high speed line being supported, we feared the upgrade of the existing line had been quietly forgotten. Transpennine Express new rolling stock at Manchester Piccadilly–Photo by Robert Pritchard The following is a joint press release from our branch and HADRAG: The Halifax & District Rail Action Group; SHRUG: Stalybridge to Huddersfield Rail Users Group; UCVRSTG: Upper Calder Valley Renaissance Sustainable Transport Group. CAMPAIGNERS in West Yorkshire are extremely concerned about lack of progress by the Government and Network Rail on infrastructure proposals that should deliver improvements for travellers in the next few years, including the TransPennine Route Upgrade (TRU). Three rail user groups and the Yorkshire Branch of Railfuture have written to Andrew Haines, Chief Executive of Network Rail, who was recently been quoted as casting doubt on TRU. In a magazine interview (RAIL 897, 29 Jan’2020) Haines had said the scope of TRU could depend on the high-speed rail proposal “Northern Powerhouse Rail” (NPR). The campaigners say NPR is decades away and will not benefit stations on regional routes that desperately need investment now.

  • 'Keeping You on Board' Hello from the Community Rail Partnership
    ‘Keeping you on board’ www.peakdistrictbytrain.org Issue 18 March 2021 Hello from the Community Rail Partnership A year ago we started sending out regular communications as a way of keeping everyone updated with changes in timetables caused by the pandemic. Here we are a year later on our 18th edition. ‘Keeping You On Board’ has evolved and has become a monthly feature in our work programme. As of this month, you will find it on our ‘News’ section of the website, where it will continue to be located. With Easter just around the corner, it feels like spring has sprung. Many of our stations have wonderful planters bursting with colour and the trees are just starting to bud. All this is great for birds and insects too, especially for bees which we’ve been raising awareness of in our ‘Buzzing Stations’ project – more about this and what we’re planning for early June in future newsletters. Spring brings the beginning of new things; when everything starts to burst into life and a chance for a fresh start. Let’s hope the ‘roadmap’ stage on 12th April brings renewed hope for places to open up and the start of people being able to travel a little more. We are very aware of the important role we play in promoting train travel, as per Government guidance, of course, for when that time comes. We’re busy planning our ‘Reconnect with Rail’ campaign to help raise awareness of train travel as the way to have a ‘great day out in the Peak District’ without having to get in the car.

  • Wickness Models Soundscape EM2 Class 77
    Wickness Models Soundscape EM2 Class 77 Manufacturer: - Wickness Models Project number: - WMEM2-1 Project version: - SSV1-Grand Station British Rail Class EM2 Class 77 Power type Electric Builder BR Gorton Works Build date 1953–1954 Total produced 7 Seven locomotives of this type were constructed. They represented the first Co-Co type of overhead electric locomotive built for use in the United Kingdom. The design was based on that of the smaller Class EM1, which dated from 1941. Initially, 27 locomotives of this type had been planned, but by the early 1950s, the benefits of using the 25 kV AC system had been demonstrated, which meant that the Woodhead Line would be an isolated electric system. Consequently, the order was cut to just seven locomotives. The locomotives were initially numbered 27000-27006 and were painted in BR black livery. Construction took place at Gorton Works, Manchester with electrical equipment supplied by Metropolitan-Vickers. All seven were named after characters from Greek mythology in 1959-1960. They were primarily used for express passenger trains between Manchester Piccadilly and Sheffield Victoria. In 1957, the class was renumbered with the addition of an "E" prefix to the number. In the early 1960s, the class started to receive the standard BR green livery. At least one of the class, E27002, received the electric blue livery carried by the AC electric locomotives. The class was withdrawn en masse in September 1968. They were stored at Bury by BR in the hope of sale to a foreign railway. The passenger service for which the Class 77s were built continued to be operated by Class 76s, until its withdrawal on 5 January 1970.

    Yorkshire Rail Campaigner Number 51 – January 2021 Yorkshire President: Alan Whitehouse: Vice-Presidents: Mike Crowhurst, Alan Williams & Chris Hyomes Where’s The Plan? Esk Valley Community Rail Partnership Press Release New Report exposes County Council’s lack of consultation or progress in five years on proposed Esk Valley line upgrade. Photo: Token exchange at Glaisdale. By Alan Williams. North Yorkshire County Council is not properly equipped to manage a rail infrastructure project and their consultants “were either not prepared or not sufficiently informed to explore innovative solutions as requested”. That’s the conclusion of a hard hitting report ‘Where’s the Plan?’ published today by the Esk Valley Railway Development Company, the Community Rail Partnership for the Whitby – Middlesbrough Esk Valley line. The Report claims that there has been almost no progress or proper consultation in the five years since the Partnership, along with the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and other local groups, persuaded Sirius Minerals to provide £4.5million of funding to improve the infrastructure on the Esk Valley rail line to enable the doubling of the service. …continued overleaf… Two forthcoming Railfuture joint branch webinars: • Saturday 30th January 2021 @ 14:00 Tony Baxter, Regional Director, North East, Northern Trains – “Challenging Times" • Saturday 27th February 2021 @ 14:00 Phil Smart, Railfuture Freight Group - "Freeing Up Castlefield Paths - New Freight Routes Around Manchester" • Saturday 17th April 2021 @ 14:00 Railfuture Yorkshire Branch Business Meeting online.
