  • Thames Tideway Tunnel Interim Measures to Reduce Infraction Fines
    Thames Tideway Tunnel Interim measures to reduce infraction fines. Working draft 5th February 2013 Report By Professor Chris Binnie MA, DIC, HonDEng, FREng, FICE, FCIWEM 2013 Brockwell, Wootton Courtenay, Minehead Somerset TA24 8RN Tideway tunnel interim scheme 28 8 12 1 Executive summary Any long term solution to the Thames Tideway CSO problems would take many years to implement, so I propose interim measures to much improve the Tideway within two to three years. The European Commission has taken out infraction proceedings against the UK for slow implementation of the UWWTD. The European Court of Justice has found against the UK on the Thames Tideway. Thus it is likely that infraction fines will be imposed. My information is that these could be substantial, based on the current tunnel completion date of 2023 as high as Euros 2.0 bn. I am advised that they would be based partly on the “Environmental impact of non-compliance “. A reduction of one point out of five points on the “environmental impact of non-compliance” or “member state conduct”might save as much as Euro 200 million, about £160m. Standards for ecology, aesthetics, and health impact have been set for the Tideway. The current STW improvements, and the Lee Tunnel would reduce the spill volume from 39Mm3/year to about 18Mm3/years, a long way to achieving the dissolved oxygen standards. However the Thames Tideway Tunnel will not be operational until about 2023. Thus interim measures could be implemented to reduce “the environmental impact of non-compliance” until the tunnel is operational. The object of these interim measures would not be to meet the standards set for the Tideway but to mitigate the environmental impact to the extent that the substantial fines would be reduced.

  • Hsuk London Terminal Strategy
    HSUK LONDON TERMINAL STRATEGY In the development of high speed rail systems, the issue of terminal location and onward distribution of passengers assumes almost as much importance as the more obvious question of route. The new lines are designed to carry large volumes of passengers on trains operating at high frequencies, and these factors combine to create major flows arriving at city terminals which must then be efficiently dispersed onto the local public transport networks. This demands full integration of high speed and local systems, with optimised transfer at dedicated and fit-for- purpose terminals. These issues apply at all UK cities where high speed lines are planned, but are most acute in London, where passenger flows are greatest, and congestion in the existing public transport system is most critical. The following diagrams review existing central London connectivity issues, and compare and contrast the London terminal solutions proposed for HS2, and for the alternative High Speed UK proposals. For precise details of the core High Speed UK proposals (as included in the cost estimates), see the ‘200k’ series of plans. LTS1 : LONDON MAIN LINE NETWORK CIRCA 1963 LTS2 : EXISTING CENTRAL LONDON RAIL NETWORK INCLUDING CROSSRAIL SCHEME These diagrams show the rail network of central London, dominated by the classic terminus stations of the Victorian era. These are mostly reliant for onward connectivity upon the Tube network, which tended to form ‘nodes’ around the busier/more important termini. However, the change from main line to Tube is inherently inefficient, with passengers forced to detrain en masse, and with massive congestion occurring especially at rush hours.
