The railway is part of the trans-European high-speed rail network (TENS) and completes the high-speed international route between London and Paris, and London and Brussels. Domestic passenger trains also use the railway (between Ashford / Ebbsfleet HL and St Pancras International), providing a much improved commuter service between London and Kent. The railway is capable of carrying freight traffic. It was constructed in two phases: Section 1: between the Channel Tunnel at Cheriton and Southfleet Junction; including connections to the existing Ashford International Passenger Station and a connection from Southfleet Junction to Fawkham Junction provided to allow international Eurostar services to access the existing Waterloo International Station (prior to the completion of Section 2 and the opening of St Pancras International Station), Section 2: between Southfleet Junction and St Pancras International Station; including new International Stations at Ebbsfleet and Stratford, and with connections to the existing East Coast Main Line, North London Line, West Coast Main Line (via North London Line), North Kent Line, Ripple Lane freight yard and a new maintenance depot situated at Temple Mills. The new railway is subject to the EC Directive 96/48/EC of 23rd July 2003 regarding the interoperability of the European TENS routes and the supporting Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSls). As a consequence it is mandatory under the Directive for the HS1 Infrastructure Manager (see §0.1) to provide a Register of Infrastructure (the Register) defining the main characteristics of the line. A Register was originally prepared to consider Section 1 of the HS1, which was brought into commercial service on the 28th September 2003. This document represents the Register for the second phase of the railway, Section 2 of the HS1, being brought into commercial service on 14th November 2007. Technical Files have been prepared relating to Section 2 of the HS1; these define the conformity of the new railway with the relevant TSls: ~ Infrastructure (INS) Subsystem (Reference 1) ~ Energy (ENE) Subsystem (Reference 2) ~ Control, Command and Signalling (CCS) Subsystem (Reference 3) - 5­ R-SG-NC-00002-17-HSO HS1 Ltd HS1 (Section 2) Register of Infrastructure R-SG-NC-00002-17-HSO Revision 01, Date 15 July 2009 Page 6 of 90 The Register makes reference to the Infrastructure, Energy, and Control-Command and Signalling TSls regarding which characteristics, basic provisions or other information should be included. Any derogation that may apply is described. 0.1. Ownership of the Register The Register is compiled and owned by the Infrastructure Concession Holder of Section 2 of the HS1: HS1 Ltd 73 Collier Street LONDON N19BE It is however maintained and updated on behalf of the Infrastructure Owner by the Infrastructure Manager in accordance with a Railway Services Agreement. The address of the Infrastructure Manager is: Network Rail (CTRL) Ltd Singlewell Infrastructure Maintenance Depot (SIMD) Henhurst Road Cobham, Gravesend Kent DA123AN The first issue (revision 00) is dated 1ih August 2007, being issued within days of "authorisation to place into service" on 31 st July 2007 by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR). The date of commencement of commercial service was 14th November 2007. The Register will be reviewed annually from the issue date given on the document coversheet, and amended as, and if, appropriate. This is the first revision of the Register to take note of changes since opening of Section 2 of the railway. 0.2.

  • A CRITICAL EVALUATION of the LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD of the CHALK UPLANDS of NORTHWEST EUROPE Lesley
    A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE CHALK UPLANDS OF NORTHWEST EUROPE The Chilterns, Pegsdon, Bedfordshire (photograph L. Blundell) Lesley Blundell UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD September 2019 2 I, Lesley Blundell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 3 4 Abstract Our understanding of early human behaviour has always been and continues to be predicated on an archaeological record unevenly distributed in space and time. More than 80% of British Lower-Middle Palaeolithic findspots were discovered during the late 19th/early 20th centuries, the majority from lowland fluvial contexts. Within the British planning process and some academic research, the resultant findspot distributions are taken at face value, with insufficient consideration of possible bias resulting from variables operating on their creation. This leads to areas of landscape outside the river valleys being considered to have only limited archaeological potential. This thesis was conceived as an attempt to analyse the findspot data of the Lower-Middle Palaeolithic record of the Chalk uplands of southeast Britain and northern France within a framework complex enough to allow bias in the formation of findspot distribution patterns and artefact preservation/discovery opportunities to be identified and scrutinised more closely. Taking a dynamic, landscape = record approach, this research explores the potential influence of geomorphology, 19th/early 20th century industrialisation and antiquarian collecting on the creation of the Lower- Middle Palaeolithic record through the opportunities created for artefact preservation and release.

  • Rail Devolution Business Case Narrative
    Submission to HM Government Date: 14 October 2016 Title: Rail devolution business case narrative 1 Summary 1.1 The purpose of this paper is to set out the case for further transfer of responsibility for the provision of some rail passenger services from the Department for Transport (DfT) to the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL). Significant improvement in the quality of services for passengers 1.2 Further devolution of inner suburban rail services within London will deliver significant economic, financial and customer benefits by 2020 through: More reliable and better services for passengers, delivered through a concession contracting model where the provider of train services focuses purely on reliability and customer satisfaction TfL’s proven ability to work with Network Rail sharing resources between them and London Underground Seamless and integrated fares, ticketing, branding and information for passengers across public transport services in London, which not only encourages more people to use public transport, but also reduces fare evasion A greater ability to plan and deliver the cost effective provision of public transport and associated projects across all local services, including buses, walking and cycling 1.3 Taken together, one impact will be to generate additional demand and revenue. On the recently devolved West Anglia services this has increased 27 per cent since devolution in May 2015. TfL expects an increase of 14 per cent in southeast London. The additional revenue can itself be re-invested in service enhancements 1.4 The package has a quantified benefit cost ratio of 4.3 : 1, based on railway passenger benefits, which shows that this offers high value for money.

  • Network Rail Long Term Planning Process
    Network Rail Long Term Planning Process Kent Route Study – Guidance Note Ashford Joint Transport Board - September 2015 Objectives The Long Term Planning Process (LTPP) is a new process for long term planning of the rail network and follows on from the Route Utilisation Strategy (RUS) programme that was completed by Network Rail on behalf of the rail industry. The LTPP will build on the successes of the RUS programme but will look further into the future over the next 30 years so that the rail industry can plan now for the forecast growth in demand. The objectives of the LTPP are to: • Facilitate strategic planning of the rail network taking into account views of the rail industry, funders, specifiers and customers; • Develop options to meet future demand through market studies, cross- boundary analysis and route studies; • Consider views of local stakeholders and align with their strategic goals; • Recognise how the rail industry can support and drive economic growth; and • Fulfil Network Rail’s license obligations to plan the future capability of the network. Market Studies The market studies are the first part of the LTPP and commenced in April 2012. There are four market studies, three of which look at passenger services and one which looks at freight. They are: London and South East, Regional Urban, Long Distance and Freight market studies. The market studies have two key outputs, firstly to forecast future rail demand over the next 10 and 30 years, and secondly, to develop conditional outputs for future rail services which can support delivery of their strategic goals.

  • Southeastern Trains Map Pdf
    Southeastern trains map pdf Continue Routes encoded by three London terminals. The best experience from several routes to London. Offer the Priorat to be dumped from Dover as it was a long time since there was no Marine Corps, Harbor or City Station. London Bridge is completely open. With work on the redevelopment of London Bridge. Not 45o lines to the right of the map. It's a bad map type that makes something that's just on earth unrecognizable. Since when did Kent look like this - with a club leg? The map takes straight and straight south-east main lines (London - Tonbridge - Hastings and Tonbridge - Ashford - Dover) in a tangled few corners. Tonbridge - Dover line arrow straight (superb piece of engineering Cubitt) - why put four bends in it? Not only that, but it's so boring you can die of depression just by looking at it. Pointless headline. Buffers in London termini, but not elsewhere. Poor geographical relations between London terminals. Strange and gloomy flower-breeding - not typical (and two dark brown colors from Charing Cross). Lines do not intersect correctly, for example in Ebbsfleet. No statement on the choice of station (stations disappear along the north Kent coast). The routes are colored. Includes Thameslink to Bedford as a co-service. Poor presentation of Javelin's new fast services: unclear around Gravesend showing Eurostar passes; The North Kent lines stretched too far to the right making Javelin/Eurostar very indirect. The map below was added without a rethink. Some very small type there. You may not recognize this important route on this map.
