3 REQUIRED OUTPUTS
3.1 Service Requirements
3.1.1 Passenger Service Capacities
3.1.1.1 Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 3.1.1.2 to 3.1.1.7 inclusive and Paragraph 4.6.3.2, the Project shall, from the Final Delivery Date, provide sufficient capacity for the railway systems to meet the peak passenger service demand in the Normal State set out below in Figure 2. The diagrams in Figure 2 set out the minimum passenger capacity demand which the Crossrail Project must satisfy at different times during the operational phase.
3.1.1.2 CRL shall ensure that the design and delivery of the Project shall be such as to achieve the Design Capacity at the Final Delivery Date, i.e. no later than the Target Final Delivery Date. However, the Sponsors may Affirm proposals by CRL that would result in the Project delivering capacity which may be less than the Design Capacity but shall not be less than the Opening Capacity.
3.1.1.3 In order to ensure that both medium and long term value is achieved, there shall be two sets of capacity targets, namely the Opening Capacity and the Design Capacity the requirements for which are set out in Figure 2 so far as railway systems (as distinct from station and interchange capacity) are concerned.
3.1.1.4 The data used in Figure 2 shall not be used for the purposes of designing stations or interchanges because the demand on such stations and interchanges may include demand from other rail services which is not accounted for in the Design Capacity shown in Figure 2. CRL shall ensure that the design of stations and
interchanges satisfies the capacity requirements to be developed by CRL derived using the methods set out in LUL's Guideline Document for Station Demand Modelling dated September 2004 and data set out in document CR-OP-PRW-PL- DS-00001, dated 17 June 2008, subject in the latter case to:

3.1.1.5 [text redacted].
98
CROSSRAIL PROJECT SPONSORS' REQUIREMENTS 3.1.1.6 CRL shall also demonstrate that sufficient additional capacity exists to meet demand during perturbation on the Crossrail Network.
3.1.1.7 Subject to CRL gaining the Sponsors' Affirmation of alternatives and subject to CRL's compliance with other parts of these Sponsors' Requirements, the permissible ways of satisfying Paragraph 3.1.1.2 shall be:
ƒ CRL shall procure a track and power distribution layout designs which shall be sufficient for the Design Capacity to be achieved at the Final Delivery Date even though that level of capacity may not be used at that stage, but signalling layout design shall be sufficient for no less than the Opening Capacity;
ƒ the Rolling Stock shall [text redacted];
ƒ CRL shall procure that Rolling Stock capacity supports the Design Capacity in terms of passengers per carriage at the Final Delivery Date;
ƒ Stations in the Central Core Area shall be constructed to accommodate trains which are long enough to support the Design Capacity but shall be initially finished and equipped for the operation of trains which are long enough to support the Opening Capacity at the Final Delivery Date; and
ƒ CRL shall ensure (either by putting in place new Infrastructure or adjusting existing Infrastructure) that all platforms, sidings, depots and other Infrastructure are of sufficient length to support Rolling Stock of Design Capacity (i.e., [text redacted]) unless to do so would cost a disproportionate amount relative to the respective benefits of doing so, in which case CRL shall procure that, when designing and constructing the Infrastructure, space is available for extension at minimum cost at any time after the Final Delivery Date and the Infrastructure is capable of facilitating such extension.

3.1.2 Passenger Service Capabilities
3.1.1.1 Crossrail Services shall deliver passenger journey times between the street and platforms at each station which are as short as reasonably practicable.
3.1.1.2 In the case of conflict between achieving shorter street-to-street journey times and the specified capacity, capacity shall take precedence.
3.1.2 Service Patterns
3.1.3.1 Each Part of the Crossrail Network shall be capable of operating an independent, viable train service in times of perturbation and for the purposes of the staged introduction of Crossrail Services. All such Parts shall be capable of operating the combined Crossrail Service (i) before Final Delivery Date is achieved, and (ii) during each stage of introduction. Without prejudice to the provisions of any other Paragraph, any service pattern which includes services on the Central Section shall reflect the criticality of the performance of the Central Section but shall not be established at the expense of a reasonably regular service interval on any Surface Section.
3.1.3.2 [text redacted] 3.1.3.3 [text redacted]
3.1.3.4 [text redacted]
3.1.3.5 Subject to the maximum passenger demand, service frequency may change by time of day and day of the week to provide an appropriate level of service, taking account of demand, comfort and convenience, and the potential for maximising revenue. At any time, there may be a different frequency of service in each direction on Crossrail Services if passenger demand is unequal and operating costs can thereby be reduced.
3.1.3.6 Subject to the provisions in Paragraph 3.1.3.10, start and finish times of Crossrail Services at stations in the Central Section shall be consistent with current London Underground services. First trains shall be planned to leave originating stations in the Central Section no later than 0545 hours and last trains shall be planned to arrive at destination stations in the Central Section no earlier than 0045 hours.
3.1.3.7 Subject to the provisions in Paragraph 3.1.3.10, Crossrail Services at locations on Surface Sections shall be planned to commence no later and finish no earlier in any given 24 hours period than current national rail services to the same locations.
3.1.3.8 CRL shall ensure that there shall be capability for Crossrail trains to call at all Crossrail stations in the Central Section. This requirement shall apply to the Rolling Stock and the station design.
3.1.3.9 On the Surface Sections, CRL shall ensure that there shall be physical capability for all Crossrail trains to stop at all stations during the Normal State of Operations. This requirement shall apply to the Rolling Stock and the station design. 101
Notwithstanding this requirement, CRL may propose for Affirmation that some Crossrail Services may not call at one or more stations along the Surface Sections in a way that balances the interests and convenience of railway users with operational efficiency and the optimisation of supplying overall passenger demand.
3.1.3.10 Crossrail Assets shall be designed and constructed to be capable of:
ƒ providing the service pattern derived from the requirements in paragraphs 3.1.1.1 to 3.1.3.9 inclusive on every day of the year; and
ƒ operating in Enhanced State on 5 occasions in any calendar year.
3.1.2 Performance
3.1.1.1 The Crossrail Service shall be designed and constructed so that it is capable of satisfying an appropriate performance specification and management regime sufficient to deliver the service pattern specified above, and modern, world-class standards of passenger capacity and comfort. The performance and management regime shall include street to street journey times, punctuality, availability of various services and key infrastructure, environmental / ambience measures and passenger comfort.
3.1.1.2 As part of the performance and management regime, CRL shall develop service specifications, timetables and operating strategies, service recovery plans and other procedures for the Crossrail Service taking full and proper account of the interests of existing Surface Sections, LUL and DLRL rail services. The performance and management regime shall ensure that the Crossrail Services meets the Design Capacity and the Opening Capacity.
3.1.1.3 CRL shall provide recommendations for the performance and management regime (including performance measures and targets) by 31 March 2009 which are appropriate to a world-class, high-density train service. Such recommendations shall be appropriate to a train service at frequencies in the Central Section which comply with these Sponsors' Requirements and shall include:
ƒ the target operational performance level of Crossrail Services on the Surface Sections, which level shall be not less than [text redacted];
ƒ the target percentage of the number of scheduled Crossrail Services that may be subject to full or partial cancellation on the Surface Sections, which percentage shall be not more than [text redacted];
ƒ the target percentage of the scheduled mileage of Crossrail Services that may be subject to full or partial cancellation on the Central Section, which percentage shall be not more than [text redacted];
ƒ being supported by the consideration of options, each of which shall require a combination of highly reliable components, in terms of Infrastructure and Rolling Stock, together with sufficient physical and operational capacity beyond those
102
dictated by the minimum output requirements that supports the contingency plans for railway operations; and
ƒ not result in any diminution of performance or capability due to seasonal effects.
3.1.1.4 In addition to other measures of train performance, CRL shall demonstrate before the completion of design activities that all train services on the Surface Sections shall be sufficiently robust to ensure presentation of trains into the Central Section reliably enough to support the headways derived from the Design Capacity. CRL shall similarly demonstrate that there is sufficient capacity to avoid unacceptable disruption to the operation of trains which turn back into the Central Section when other trains are awaiting permission to enter any of the Surface Sections. Reliability of Crossrail Services and disruption shall be set and judged by reference to the performance targets which shall be prepared in detail by CRL pursuant to Paragraph 3.1.4.3.
3.1.2 Resilience
3.1.1.1 CRL shall ensure that arrangements for vehicle management and service control boundaries are in place and sufficient so that in the event of significant or material perturbation on the NR Network, there is the capability for the Crossrail Service on the Surface Sections to be curtailed whilst retaining a full service between Paddington and Stratford/Abbey Wood. Subject to Paragraph 4.1.6, CRL shall ensure arrangements are documented and in place to ensure adequate management of services can be provided on each Surface Section in the event of serious perturbation in the Central Section.
3.1.1.2 Subject to Paragraph 4.1.6, CRL shall develop operational protocols and systems which shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, be sufficient to ensure that a viable Crossrail Service can be delivered even in the event of severe disruption affecting LUL or DLRL services, and vice versa. In such circumstances, subject to Paragraph 4.1.6, CRL shall establish processes to ensure passengers shall be able to access Crossrail Services at stations even if they cannot enter LUL- controlled or DLRL-controlled areas of those stations, or vice versa.
3.1.1.3 CRL shall develop strategies and procedures using national railway protocols for the management of perturbation for the approval of the Sponsors (having consulted the Operators) before the Infrastructure Scheme Design is Assured.
3.1.1.4 CRL shall ensure that the operational performance of the railway shall be designed with regard to Normal and Enhanced States of Operation and foreseeable Emergency, Degraded and Abnormal States of Operation.
3.1.1.5 It shall be possible to recover from the closure of a section of the Crossrail Network due to emergency or failure and provide at least a Degraded State of Operation on other Parts of the Crossrail Network within 30 minutes.
3.1.1.6 Subject to Paragraph 4.1.6, CRL shall develop for Assurance contingency plans for the operation of stations in the Central Section in consultation with LUL and other interested parties in order to manage perturbations howsoever caused in such a
103
way that results in the minimum overall inconvenience to passengers using sub- surface stations commensurate with safety and security requirements.
3.1.1.7 Subject to Paragraph 4.1.6, CRL shall develop contingency plans for railway operations with NR and potentially affected third party train operators in accordance with national rail practice in order to manage perturbations howsoever caused in such a way that results in the minimum overall inconvenience to railway customers on both the Central Section and the NR Network commensurate with safety and security requirements.
3.1.1.8 As part of the development of contingency plans for railway operations, CRL shall identify stations where Crossrail or other services have to call, having been diverted onto lines on which platforms, which form part of the respective stations, are not normally available to such services. The results of this activity shall be used to inform decisions to be taken when seeking to comply with Paragraph 4.4.1.2.
3.1.2 Introduction of Crossrail Services
3.2.1.1 CRL shall develop and manage a plan for the introduction of Crossrail Services in stages, which plan shall be agreed with the Operators. Subject to Paragraph 3.1.6.2, the introduction of Crossrail Services shall commence at the earliest practicable opportunity in order to optimise the net effects of the start of revenue earning services and costs of construction.
3.2.1.2 The Part(s) of the Crossrail Network in use at the start of each stage shall be capable of operating a viable Crossrail Service having regard to:
ƒ their ability to interface with other services; ƒ reliability growth of rolling stock and infrastructure; and ƒ the interests and convenience of railway users.
3.2.1.3 Having consulted the Operators, CRL shall give the Sponsors [text redacted] notice of the date on which Crossrail Services shall start for each stage, having allowed for an appropriate period of Trial Operations and the completion of Dynamic Tests and Trial Running for the respective stages.
3.2.1.4 The Final Delivery Date shall be no later than the Target Final Delivery Date. The dates set out in Table 1 below are without prejudice to CRL’s obligations in respect of the Final Delivery Date.
104
3.2.1.5 Subject to Paragraphs 3.1.6.1 to 3.1.6.4 inclusive, the Sponsors require the introduction of Crossrail Services to be undertaken in line with Table 1 below.
