  • Competitive Tendering of Rail Services EUROPEAN CONFERENCE of MINISTERS of TRANSPORT (ECMT)
    Competitive EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT Tendering of Rail Competitive tendering Services provides a way to introduce Competitive competition to railways whilst preserving an integrated network of services. It has been used for freight Tendering railways in some countries but is particularly attractive for passenger networks when subsidised services make competition of Rail between trains serving the same routes difficult or impossible to organise. Services Governments promote competition in railways to Competitive Tendering reduce costs, not least to the tax payer, and to improve levels of service to customers. Concessions are also designed to bring much needed private capital into the rail industry. The success of competitive tendering in achieving these outcomes depends critically on the way risks are assigned between the government and private train operators. It also depends on the transparency and durability of the regulatory framework established to protect both the public interest and the interests of concession holders, and on the incentives created by franchise agreements. This report examines experience to date from around the world in competitively tendering rail services. It seeks to draw lessons for effective design of concessions and regulation from both of the successful and less successful cases examined. The work RailServices is based on detailed examinations by leading experts of the experience of passenger rail concessions in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.

  • 2009-041 Crosscountry Spanner Awards
    Press Release 04 December 2009 XC2009/041 (LW) CROSSCOUNTRY TOPS RAILWAY CHARTS It’s Gold and Silver for award-winning train operator CrossCountry has won two prestigious rail industry awards in recognition of its trains being one of the most improved and reliable fleets across Britain’s rail network. CrossCountry was awarded Gold and Silver at last week’s annual ‘Golden Spanner’ ceremony organised by industry magazine Modern Railways. The Golden Spanner went to the Class 221 Super Voyagers for taking first place in the ‘Modern DMU’ category as the most reliable fleet in its class. The Super Voyagers also took the Silver Spanner for being the most improved fleet thanks to reliability being up 118% on last year. The ‘Golden Spanner’ is an awards scheme aimed at promoting excellence in train maintenance within Britain. Sarah Kendall, Production Director at CrossCountry said: “We are extremely proud to win these nationally recognised awards. Since the start of our franchise in November 2007 the team at CrossCountry has worked very closely with Bombardier Transportation, our maintainer to take specific targeted steps to improve the reliability of our Voyager trains. Our focus now is to build on this significant progress and further improve our performance. Train reliability is vital for our customers and therefore of the highest priority for us.” All trains are ranked on the distance they cover between technical faults by the Association of Train Operating Companies’ (ATOC) National Fleet Reliability Improvement Programme. Using this league table (see below) CrossCountry’s Voyager trains outperformed all other intercity fleets across the country.

  • Drivers'union
    The train ASLEF drivers’ union >>> Rail Franchise Handbook 2019 ASLEF Introduction Welcome to our new Rail Franchise Handbook. I hope you will find it as interesting, and useful, as I do and a valuable tool for the political and industrial work you do for our union. We put this handbook together to give our reps and decision makers the inside track on who really runs Britain’s railways, how they run our railways, and what they take out from our railway industry every year. Because we believe the facts and figures revealed in these pages show, with crystal clarity, the utter folly of our privatised, and fragmented, franchise system. A structure – set up by John Major, 25 years ago, and continued by Conservative governments ever since – that separates the wheels and steel and is underwritten by an enormous public subsidy from every taxpayer in this country, and sky high passenger fares, while tens of millions of pounds haemorrhage from the system into the pockets of shareholders in the form of profits and dividends, or increasingly due inefficiencies. In fact whilst the system has never worked for passengers or taxpayers, there are now signs that it doesn’t work for operators either. The franchising system has been put on hold for a couple of years now due to a lack of bidders. This means direct awards have been handed out leading to even less competition. So we now have a system that exists to maintain the system itself, not our railway. It isn’t true to say that all the train and freight operating fill the pockets of shareholders; some TOCs and FOCs are owned by public, not private, operators where shareholders do not skim the cream off the top of the milk.
