This report deals with the Committee’s initial investigations into the reasons for failures in metropolitan and V/Line train services. On 5 May 2010, the Legislative Council amended the Committee’s terms of reference to include an investigation into the impact of train service failures as a result of the Myki ticketing system. The Committee will present further report/s in relation to the Myki ticketing system up to 30 September 2010. The Committee’s initial investigations found that Melbourne’s train operators, previously Connex and now Metro Trains Melbourne, together with the regional operator V/Line, have failed to consistently deliver reliable and punctual train services in line with their respective performance targets. With respect to the metropolitan network, evidence illustrates that reasons for these failures include a lack of investment in infrastructure and fleet of trains, together with inadequate planning for the impact of patronage growth. Specific issues highlighted in this interim report include the high level of delays and cancellations during hot days over recent summers, inadequate air-conditioners on the Comeng trains, inadequate braking systems on the Siemens trains, various rail infrastructure failures, and a dispute between the Rail, Tram and Bus Union and Connex that resulted in service disruptions over the 2008/09 summer. Many of the reasons for cancellations and delays experienced on the metropolitan network were also experienced on Victoria’s regional rail network. These include problems with infrastructure and rolling stock, extreme weather conditions, and conflicts between V/Line and metropolitan services in the metropolitan rail corridors. In presenting this interim report, I wish to thank all submitters and witnesses for their invaluable evidence to date. In particular, I pass on appreciation to the Department of Transport for their continued co-operation, together with Metro Trains Melbourne and Connex. Appreciation is also extended to the Members and staff of the Select Committee for their deliberations and work during the course of the Inquiry. As noted above, the Committee will be investigating the Myki ticketing system over the coming months with a final report to be tabled by 30 September 2010. The Committee may continue to keep a watching brief on matters raised in this first interim report. Bruce Atkinson, MLC Chairman 5 Select Committee on Train Services – First Interim Report CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD 6 Select Committee on Train Services – First Interim Report FINDINGS List of Findings FINDING 3.1 Responsibility for delivery of Victoria’s train services is fragmented across a range of Government authorities, private operators and independent statutory bodies. The Committee believes this fragmentation of responsibility may result in uncertainty in terms of the factors leading to and causes of failures in the provision of train services in Victoria. FINDING 3.2 Evidence illustrates improvements could be made to the delivery of train services in Victoria by further streamlining of public transport governance responsibility. FINDING 4.1 Melbourne’s train operators, previously Connex and now Metro Trains Melbourne, have failed to consistently deliver metropolitan trains on-time in line with their respective performance

    Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) Position Paper Smartcard ticketing on public transport July 2010 Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) is a national, Member‐funded CEO forum, advocating the public policy interests of the 200 most prestigious corporations and institutions in the Australian tourism, transport, aviation & investment sectors. CONTENTS OVERVIEW 2 SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 3 ADVANTAGES OF SMARTCARD TICKETING 3 CHALLENGES FOR IMPLEMENTATION 6 SMARTCARD TICKETING IN AUSTRALIA 8 SMARTCARD TICKETING INTERNATIONALLY 10 INNOVATION IN SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 12 LOOKING AHEAD 14 CONCLUDING REMARKS 14 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: CAROLINE WILKIE NATIONAL MANAGER, AVIATION & TRANSPORT TOURISM & TRANSPORT FORUM (TTF) P | 02 9240 2000 E | [email protected] www.ttf.org.au In short: 1. Smartcard ticketing provides convenience for commuters and efficiency gains for transport service providers. 2. Smartcard systems have been introduced in Australian cities with varying degrees of success. 3. International experience suggests that successful implementation may take many years, and difficulties are commonplace. 4. Overall, the benefits of smartcard ticketing overwhelmingly outweigh the costs and challenges that may arise in implementation. Overview Smartcard technology is being implemented around the world as a substitute for cash transactions in various capacities. When applied to public transport fare collection, smartcards eliminate the need for commuters to queue for tickets and reduce the burden on transport providers to process fare transactions. In recent years, benefits such as decreased travel times and general convenience to commuters have driven a shift towards smartcard ticketing systems on public transport systems in Australia and around the world. As well as providing more efficient transport services to commuters, smartcard ticketing systems enable service providers and transit authorities to collect comprehensive data on the travel behaviour of commuters.

No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Authorised by the Victorian Government, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne. Minister’s Foreword In February 2004, after the failure of the original privatisation framework, the Victorian Government entered into new franchise agreements with Melbourne’s public transport companies, Yarra Trams and Connex. These partnership agreements find the balance between government support for public transport in Melbourne and the operational expertise provided by experienced private rail operators. Almost one year on, the new arrangements are running smoothly, providing stability across the public transport system and giving a solid foundation for a range of improvements in service delivery. Some of the other benefits to passengers that stem from these agreements include: • Additional front-line customer service staff; • Increased security patrols; • Improved driver training programs; • All night New Year’s Eve services; • Additional rolling stock; and • Improved standards for the upkeep of transport facilities. The key themes of this summary report include the background to the failure of the original contracts, the renegotiations, the nature of the new partnership agreements and the challenges of the refranchising process.

  • APPENDIX a – Rail Manufacturing in Victoria
    Rail Manufacturing in Victoria Summary of key points • Approximately 1000 people are employed directly by the major rail rolling stock manufacturers in Victoria and another 5,000 to 10,000 employed in their supply chain. • Rail rolling stock manufacturing is directly influenced by State Government procurement policy and purchasing decisions. Victorian Government local content rules are weak compared to interstate and international examples. In recent years, the New South Wales and Victorian Governments have collectively awarded $3.8 billion worth of contracts to overseas manufacturers. • The Victorian Transport Plan commits to $3.6 billion in new investment in rail rolling stock over 4 years. Manufacturing 50 % of these new vehicles in Victoria would create 2,250 full- time jobs directly and another 5,400 – 6,300 full-time jobs indirectly in the supply chain. • A strong rail manufacturing sector could provide thousands of jobs for retrenched automotive workers as long as the training system was made more flexible and relevant to industry needs. • Ongoing investment in local manufacturing would ensure the continued existence of a skilled workforce and provide a solid platform for expanded export opportunities. Once local manufacturing capacity is allowed to erode it is difficult, if not impossible to regain. Introduction Victoria is facing the twin challenges of climate change and the global financial crisis. Already the economic downturn has cost thousands of Victorian jobs, many in the manufacturing sector and expectations are for unemployment to rise further in the coming year. At the same time, the impacts of climate change and peak oil will be felt most by low income and disadvantaged Victorians, particularly those living on the outskirts of our cities.

  • Investigation of the Relationship Between Transit Network Structure and the Network Effect – the Toronto & Melbourne Experience
    INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRANSIT NETWORK STRUCTURE AND THE NETWORK EFFECT – THE TORONTO & MELBOURNE EXPERIENCE By Karen Frances Woo A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Karen Frances Woo 2009 Investigation of the Relationship between Transit Network Structure and the Network Effect – The Toronto & Melbourne Experience Karen Frances Woo Master of Applied Science Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto 2009 Abstract The main objective of this study was to quantitatively explore the connection between network structure and network effect and its impact on transit usage as seen through the real-world experience of the Toronto and Melbourne transit systems. In this study, the comparison of ridership/capita and mode split data showed that Toronto’s TTC has better performance for the annual data of 1999/2001 and 2006. After systematically investigating travel behaviour, mode choice factors and the various evidence of the network effect, it was found that certain socio-economic, demographic, trip and other design factors in combination with the network effect influence the better transit patronage in Toronto over Melbourne. Overall, this comparative study identified differences that are possible explanatory variables for Toronto’s better transit usage as well as areas where these two cities and their transit systems could learn from one another for both short and long term transit planning and design. ii Acknowledgments This thesis and research would not have been possible without the help and assistance of many people for which much thanks is due.
