  • The Treachery of Strategic Decisions
    The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael John King. May 2021 Abstract The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner. The winning proposition will be manufactured and delivered into service some years later to carry passengers for 30 years or more. However, there is a problem: evidence shows UK passenger trains getting heavier over time. Heavy trains increase fuel consumption and emissions, increase track damage and maintenance costs, and these impacts could last for the train’s life and beyond. To address global challenges, like climate change, strategic decisions that produce outcomes like this need to be understood and improved. To understand this phenomenon, I apply Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to Strategic Decision-Making. Using ANT, sometimes described as the sociology of translation, I theorise that different propositions of trains are articulated until one, typically, is selected as the winner to be translated and become a realised train. In this translation process I focus upon the development and articulation of propositions up to the point where a winner is selected. I propose that this occurs within a valuable ‘place’ that I describe as a ‘decision-laboratory’ – a site of active development where various actors can interact, experiment, model, measure, and speculate about the desired new trains.

  • Gatwick Express Class 442 'Wessex' EMU
    Gatwick Express Class 442 'Wessex' EMU Datenblatt zum Gatwick Express Class 442 'Wessex' EMU Zitat von Steam Der elektrische Triebzug rast in den Train Simulator, perfekt um den Gatwick Express auf der London – Brighton Strecke nachzubilden. Der Triebzug der Class 442 „Wessex Electric” (oder 5WES) wurde 1988 auf der South Western Main Line zwischen London Waterloo und Weymouth eingeführt. Die Indienststellung verlief parallel zur Elektrifizierung der Strecke zwischen Bournemouth und Weymouth. Die Züge wurden ursprünglich nur auf der Weymouth Linie eingesetzt, in den 1990er Jahren fuhren die Züge dann auch auf der Strecke zwischen London Waterloo und Portsmouth. Nach der Privatisierung wurde die gesamte Flotte an South West Trains, und schließlich an Southern übergeben. 2008 führte Southern ein Modernisierungsprogramm durch und alle Class 442 wechselten in den Dienst als Gatwick Express zwischen London Victoria und Gatwick Airport, in Stoßzeiten mit Verlängerung nach Brighton. Bestimmungsgemäße Einsätze zwischen der Hauptstadt und dem zweitwichtigsten Flughafen des Landes fahren seit 1984, damals mit klimatisierten InterCity Mk3 Wagen von British Rail. 2008 war der Gatwick Express schließlich keine eigene Marke mehr, sondern vereinigte sich mit dem Southern Franchise. Trotz ihrer Beliebtheit im Gatwick Express Einsatz werden alle 24 Züge bis zum Jahr 2016 durch die Class 387 ersetzt, die Zukunft der 5WES‘s ist noch ungewiss. Die Class 442 hält den aktuellen Geschwindigkeitsweltrekord für elektrische Triebzüge, die mit Strom über eine Stromschiene versorgt werden. Dieser Rekord von 174km/h (108mph) wurde im April 1988 erreicht, die offizielle Höchstgeschwindigkeit dieser Züge liegt jedoch bei nur 161 km/h (100mph). Die BR Class 442 für den Train Simulator bildet den Gatwick Express so nach, wie er seit 2008 von Southern betrieben wird.

  • Long Term Passenger Rolling Stock Strategy For
    Long Term Passenger Rolling Stock Strategy for the Rail Industry Third Edition, February 2015 This Long Term Passenger Rolling Stock Strategy has been produced by a Steering Group chaired by Richard Brown, and comprising senior representatives of: • Abellio • Angel Trains • Arriva • Eversholt Rail Group • First Group • Go-Ahead Group • Keolis • National Express • Network Rail • Porterbrook Leasing • Rail Delivery Group Executive Team • Stagecoach Now in its third edition, it incorporates input from train builders, the Railway Industry Association, and other stakeholders. Cover Photos: A BR-procured Arriva Trains Wales Type A Class 150 DMU of 1986; a Siemens SWT Type E Class 450 ‘Desiro’ EMU introduced in 2002; and a Hitachi Southeastern Type G Class 395 ‘Javelin’ EMU of 2006 Foreword by Claire Perry MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport I would like to thank the rail industry for this most recent update of the Long Term Passenger Rolling Stock Strategy. I am pleased to see how it has developed since the first edition was published in February 2013. It is now well established as a key element in the industry’s Long Term Planning Process and provides a coherent road map for all those who are involved with the improvement and expansion of the railway network and its train services. Since 2004, the UK has seen the largest growth in the number of rail passenger journeys in Europe. We are moving more people to more places than ever before – passengers who expect ever- higher levels of reliability, comfort and services such as Wi-Fi. This incredible growth brings many challenges, but is being matched by a level of investment in railway infrastructure and new trains that is without precedent in recent times.
