Local Authority partners note that this section of the Poacher Line suffers from inadequate frequency of service and elongated journey times due to infrastructure issues, leading to economic and social disadvantage for the communities along the line. With planned growth in housing and employment, the need for a more frequent service is becoming ever more pressing. The infrequent level of service limits the ability of the Poacher Line communities to sustainably access jobs and opportunities in Nottingham and beyond. The poor level of service appears particularly unfavourable when compared to the better-connected Nottingham commuter belt to the west of the city.

  • Draft EM Rail Franchise Response
    Appendix 1 – Draft East Midlands Rail Franchise consultation response Q1 . How do you think closer co -operation between staff in Network Rail and the operator of the next East Midlands franchise can be achieved? As the railway in the UK is split between those who provide and maintain the tracks and those who operate the services, it is important that these organisations work collaboratively to deliver services. It is also important that the different franchisees work collaboratively. This collaboration/co-operation is required to ensure that the franchise delivers continued performance improvement, with a passenger focused approach to service delivery and maintenance/enhancement works. Ultimately it is for the DfT, as procurer of these services, to determine how to/ensure that the most effective co- operation takes place but this may be achieved through co-location of these organisations; and a greater role for those with a responsibility for the local transport and economic strategies to ensure that decisions concerning balancing the needs to maintain/improve the infrastructure and operate services are made that support such strategies and retain a passenger focus as the highest priority. Q2 . How can the operator of the next East Midlands franchise enga ge with community rail partnerships or heritage railways to support the local economy to stimulate demand for rail services in the region? DfT’s National Community Rail Steering Group research suggests that CRPs can increase annual rail patronage by 2.8% (above the equivalent annual background rail growth) by promoting and marketing the rail offer. Station supporter/friend groups and CRPs can also help make the railways safer and more welcoming.

  • East Midlands Rail Franchise
    Greater Lincolnshire LEP Response Q1 How do you think closer co-operation between staff in Network Rail and the operator of the next East Midlands franchise can be achieved? A1 We wish to see a franchise which: Delivers continued improved performance of train services Has a passenger focused approach Supports economic growth and the community This depends on strong working relationships between the Train Operator Company (TOC), Network Rail, Department for Transport (DfT), local communities and the East Midlands Region, to ensure that the train services provided support economic growth and transport development, by providing the right rail infrastructure for services to meet community need. Regular engagement between the TOC, Network Rail, DfT and local authorities is required to ensure this can be achieved. It is to be hoped that the ongoing devolution process being pursued by Network Rail though it's Transformation Plan will see greater local ownership and accountability, thus speeding up delivery of improvements. Q2 How can the operator of the next East Midlands franchise engage with community rail partnerships or heritage railways to support the local economy to stimulate demand for rail services in the region? A2 We consider that Community Rail Partnerships are extremely important, and endorse the case that CRP’s are supported throughout the franchise duration. Engagement between the railway and the communities is important and if managed correctly can offer benefits for both, which can include: increased patronage and income, reduced costs, improved safety, community pride, reduced anti-social behaviour, community cohesion, reduced isolation and improved awareness of and access to adjoining communities.
