    In The News | 27th July 2021 | Latest Rail News July 27, 2021 Click here to listen to the latest rail news on Tuesday, 27th July 2021 The latest rail news on Tuesday, 27th July 2021 A fatigued train driver passed a stop signal and almost had a head-on crash with another train, investigators found. The article on the BBC website says the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) said the near-miss happened on a Chiltern Railways service in Buckinghamshire in 2020. The RAIB made a series of safety recommendations, including the railways firm should improve its management of drivers, and review the risks associated with resetting train protection equipment on London Underground infrastructure. Chiltern Railways said it had taken on board the findings of the RAIB’s report by adjusting its “processes and procedures”, and expanding its driver management team with several new roles and appointments. The Levenmouth rail link project has taken another huge step forward with the start of work to remove the old disused track and redundant infrastructure from the former branch line. Following on from last month’s confirmation that the line will be double tracked and electrified, and announcement of the station locations when Transport Minister Graeme Dey visited Leven, the removal of the old disused tracks is another clear signal that project is gathering momentum. Work is now underway on the route between Thornton Junction and Leven and will be ongoing until the end of August, though not continuously at any one location. Click here for more details. New trains being built as part of the transformation of the Wales and Borders network have reached another key milestone as testing gets underway in Europe.

  • 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.

The impact of HSR on the spatial distribution characteristics is investigated. The main outcome of this study is that the extension of the HSR network in the future scenario will significantly increase the total tourism spatial interaction and will reduce the spatial difference. What this paper adds to the current knowledge about HSR and tourism is that smaller cities, such as Tangshan, Zhangjiakou, and Chengde, connected via HSR to core cities will benefit the most from the HSR network’s operation. Those cities should take the HSR network as a development opportunity to enhance their attractiveness and strengthen their marketing to achieve sustainable tourism competitiveness.
