Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
Appendix F: Calculation of capacity charge
1. The capacity charge will be applied to all franchised passenger train services to recover the expected increase in “congestion costs” imposed on Railtrack by additional traffic. These costs arise because additional services reduce Railtrack’s ability to recover from an incident and also increase the probability of delays, both of which increase Railtrack’s expected costs.
2. This appendix sets out the method of calculating the capacity charge referred to in paragraph 2(f) of the Review Notice (see Appendix I). It therefore:
· describes the methodology by which the congestion costs associated with a particular route section at a particular time of day are calculated;
· sets out the way the Regulator requires these estimates to be converted into capacity charges; and
· describes the assumptions which the Regulator requires to be used in calculating the charges.
The calculation of congestion costs
3. The capacity charge will be a pre-determined tariff, by which Railtrack will recover its expected congestion costs. It will replace the present case-by-case negotiations on charges for new or varied access rights. These costs represent the expected increase in Railtrack’s payments under the performance regime attributable to an additional service. The charge will be calculated using a statistical analysis of the relationship between capacity utilisation and delay, on which previous periodic review documents have consulted. Given this relationship, the payment rates in Schedule 8 of the franchised passenger track access agreements will be used to calculate the expected impact on Railtrack’s costs.
4. The calculation of the capacity charge tariff will be done on the basis of the NID (National Infrastructure Database). This is a detailed model of the railway network, down to the level of individual tracks and routes through stations and junctions. Encoded within the NID are the relevant aspects of the Rules of the Plan and other related information, so for every track there is data about headways, linecodes and directionality. Railtrack will use raw data from the BIFS and PALADIN databases (archives from the TRUST recording system) together
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 1 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
with geographical information from the NID to calculate delay per train and capacity utilisation indices on the basis of the NID network. From this information a statistical regression can be conducted to calculate a route specific parameter (“b”) and a geographical section specific constant (“A”).
5. The statistical regression carried out for each of the routes specified in Table F.1 will be of the following form:
Dit = Ai exp(bCit )
where:
Dit is the delay per train on route section i, in time band t;
Ai is a constant term estimated for each route section i;
Cit is the index of capacity utilisation on the route section i in time band t; and
b is the estimated co-efficient for the route in question.
6. The Ai co-efficients and the bs will be used to calculate the costs per train mile at the level of the sections in the NID. The version of these co-efficients which will be used for the purpose of defining the Capacity Charge Price list will be calculated on the basis of data from the NID. These will then be aggregated and averaged to the level of the geographic tariff sections (see below) to provide a pence per mile estimate applicable to the tariff section.
7. Delay will be measured as congestion related reactionary delays (“CRRD”), as identified within the TRUST recording system under some of the “Y” attribution codes, as identified in Table F.2.
8. The capacity utilisation index for each route section i in each timeband t (Cit) will be calculated by Railtrack and be based on the NID. It will be based on the number of trains on the track and the headway of the relevant track (as defined in the applicable Rules of the Plan currently in force). It will also take into account the speed mix of trains already running over the applicable route section, the order of trains already running and infrastructure constraints (e.g. platform constraints, turnarounds and bottlenecks such as a two track section within a stretch of four track line). The Regulator expects Railtrack to continue to
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 2 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
refine the collection of suitable data into the NID such that the accuracy of future estimations of capacity utilisation indices can be improved. This should include, for example, where the Rules of the Plan are altered.
9. The Schedule 8 performance rates will then be applied to the calculated expected increase in delay caused by an additional service to provide the congestion cost estimate. For that service on each section i, for each timeband t (as explained in Chapter 9) this expected cost will be calculated by Railtrack on the basis of half the Schedule 8 performance rate, with the remainder of the expected cost being recovered through the fixed charge.
10. The tariff will therefore be derived from the following equation:
Tit = Nit × PR × F × Dit
where
Tit means the capacity charge tariff for route section i in timeband t;
Nit means the number of trains running over route section i in timeband t;
PR means the relevant payment rate;
F means the relevant Railtrack percentage fault; and
Dit means the predicted delay for route section i in timeband t of adding an extra train from the statistical process described above.

The form of the capacity charge
11. The cost estimates will be calculated for each route section i, and divided by the length of that section in miles. The geographical tariff sections will be defined so as to reflect the operational use of the network, including any important station or junction as an end point to a tariff section and also applying an end point to a tariff section where over 25% of trains turn off at a junction. Operators have been consulted on the proposed tariff sections and those tariff sections on which the charge will be calculated will be placed on the ORR public register following confirmation resulting from the calculation of the draft charges. A separate cost will be calculated for each of the geographic tariff sections, for each direction and for each timeband. The relevant template timebands for these costs are shown in Table F.3.

12. The resulting unit cost estimates will therefore be in pence per train mile. Where an operator only travels over part of a tariff section the charge applicable will be the tariff for that tariff section multiplied by the number of train miles timetabled to be travelled over the tariff section in question. Adjustments will be made to the cost estimates calculated for tariff section and timeband to:
· produce charges in bands (where the cost estimate is below £2); and
· impose a “de minimis” threshold of 10 pence per train mile (below which there will be no charge).
13. As discussed in the July 2000 technical consultation document the exponential function set out above implies that there would be some delay even if no trains were being run. This anomaly is removed by the use of the de minimis cut off, which sets the charge to zero where the estimated cost is low .The charging bands (in 2001/2002 prices) will be as set out in Table F.4 and the charges will be levied on train miles timetabled (in the Applicable Timetable) in each billing period:

14. An adjustment will be made to the total capacity charge amount for each train operator at the end of each billing period. This adjustment will take account of those services which were in the Applicable Timetable (and so charged for) but did not actually run. This rebate in the charge will be applied pro rata to the amount each operator paid in total capacity charge for compared to the total capacity charge revenue Railtrack levied during the billing period in question.
15. These charges will apply to all existing services and Railtrack will be required to offer these tariffs to any potential new service. However, the Regulator would not rule out the approval of bespoke negotiated charges under section 22 of the Railways Act, were these to be negotiated between the parties involved.
16. In addition, these charges will not be expected to apply where (for the relevant tariff section or timeband):
· a train’s timing is more than twice the average train timing; or
· a train’s timing over that section is faster than the current fastest train timing plus 5%.
17. In the infrequent cases where proposed new services are outside these speed parameters, the Regulator expects to approve negotiated capacity charges. These charges should be negotiated using the same basic methodology set out in this appendix. If many new services which fall outside these speed parameters the Regulator would expect to develop alternative arrangements.
18. The capacity charge will be based on the incremental cost of adding a train to the current (1999/00) timetable reflecting Railtrack’s use of the Schedule 5 rights, under the current access agreements, and with no explicit flex dimension.
Regulatory assumptions
19. Each capacity charge will be based on the marginal cost at current (1999/2000) traffic volumes.
20. In addition, the charges will be calculated assuming that the amount of franchise passenger CRRD decreases by 1.9% per annum (which assumes that Railtrack related delay decreases by 2.5% per annum) relative to the equivalent average delay implied by the NID dataset on which the final versions of the route specific regression equations will be derived
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 8 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
by Railtrack. As explained in Chapter 9 this assumed efficiency adjustment will be averaged out over the course of the control period, so that the capacity charges remain constant in real terms. Each cost estimate will therefore be factored down in accordance with the following formula (which will be applied prior to the banding process):
CE = R*((1-0.019)1.9 )
where:
CE is the cost estimate to which the banding process is applied; and
R is the cost estimate which is produced.
21. The template Schedule 7 also includes an adjustment to overall charges to be introduced when the capacity charge is levied from May 2002. This value is defined as CC in part 6 of the template Schedule 7 and will be equal to the expected value of the capacity charge to be paid by the operator given the assumed volumes and efficiency assumptions set out in this appendix. The Capacity Charge Price List referred to in the template Schedule 7 will set out this value CC for each train operator.
22. Chapter 9 sets out the total expected revenue from the capacity charge which Railtrack is assumed to receive in setting the total revenue requirement. These figures are based on the average net present value of Railtrack’s most recent estimates of its aggregate congestion costs. Table 9.2 also sets out the total expected revenue which Railtrack will be allowed to recover through this charge. If the total amount of the capacity charges calculated according to the methodology set out in this appendix exceeds this latter amount, the Regulator will expect the individual tariffs to be scaled pro rata such that the expected revenue is not greater than this total allowable capacity charge revenue.

Appendix G: Calculation of fixed charge
Purpose of appendix
1. The Regulator has concluded that the aggregate Fixed Track Access Charge (FTAC) for franchised passenger train operating companies (TOCs) in the year commencing 1st April 2001 (2001/02) will be £1,407 million (see Chapter 9). He has also concluded that this amount will increase in real terms by 5% a year in each of the subsequent four years. The resulting aggregate FTAC for each year of this period is shown in Table 9.5 and reproduced below in Table G.1, where all figures are in 2001/02 prices:
Table G.1: Fixed track access charges
2001/02 £ million 2001/02 2002/03 2003/04 2004/05 2005/06 Total
FTAC 1,407 1,478 1,551 1,629 1,711 7,776
2. The purpose of this Appendix is to define the methodology which will be used by Railtrack in conjunction with the Regulator to derive the FTAC for each franchised passenger Train Operating Company (TOC) in 2001/02. In accordance with the terms of template Schedule 7 contained in Appendix O, these intitial FTACs for the year commencing April 2001 will increase in real terms by 5% a year in each of the subsequent four years. The process described in this Appendix will be used to allocate all of the costs and revenues determined by the Regulator in the single till process (and therefore by definition the total FTAC) to Train Operators and their funders in a fair, cost-reflective and transparent manner.
3. Railtrack will use this methodology to calculate the intitial FTACs and submit these to the
Regulator by 17 November 2000. The capacity charge offset (term CCt in the template Schedule 7) will be calculated as part of the calculation of the final capacity charges as described in Appendix F.
4. As explained in Chapter 9, the application of this methodology will be subject to audit by Arthur Andersen. Following their audit, the FTACs will, if necessary, be modified before the Regulator publishes a final charging table consistent with his overall conclusions and the methodology specified in this appendix.
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 11 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
5. The remainder of this appendix should be interpreted in accordance with this overall purpose. If there is any inconsistency between this statement of purpose and the remainder of this Appendix, then this statement of purpose shall prevail.
Methodology
6. Chapter 7 provides a single figure for each single till item for each year of the next control period. Internal Railtrack data, with a more detailed disaggregation, is required to meet the objectives mentioned above. The values in Chapter 7 are the Regulator’s view of the levels of costs and revenues, and will potentially differ from the total of the more detailed Railtrack data. To ensure that the total of the allocated FTACs equals the figures determined by the Regulator, it will be necessary to undertake a series of pre-defined adjustments.
7. These adjustments will be made by deriving a disaggregation metric (essentially a set of percentage splits that sum to 100%) for each single till item. These percentages will be calculated by Railtrack and then applied to the total amounts determined by the Regulator.
8. The nature of the disaggregation metric chosen for each allocation depends upon the nature of the cost or revenue item concerned. The approach to be adopted will be applied to the lowest level of detail at which it is possible, given the need for practical timescales, to identify the way that costs are likely to be incurred and revenues likely to be earned.
Data sources
9. Data sources used, as described in more detail where relevant below, include:
· the outputs from a process of zonal cost analysis which Railtrack carried out specifically for this purpose, in March and April 2000;
· detailed breakdowns of projected future expenditures as laid out in the 2000 Network Management Statement (NMS); and
· Railtrack zonal business plan data.
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 12 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
10. The process will have three main parts:
· the costs or revenues associated with each of the single till items are allocated to one or more net cost categories. Net cost categories are sub-divisions of the total national infrastructure with which costs or revenues can be associated and include Railtrack zones, and all or part of particular Strategic Routes on the network. The other net cost category will simply be national, comprising all costs or revenues which cannot be associated with particular zones or Strategic Routes (for example, national overheads);
· the costs in each net cost category will then be allocated to the TOCs and funders who use the infrastructure in that category (i.e. the zone, route or part of route, or in the case of National net costs, the whole network). The costs will be apportioned according to the TOCs’ and funders’ share of a total traffic metric as set out in Chapter 9. Once the net cost in each category has been apportioned, the total for each TOC and funder combination will then be calculated; and
· some costs and revenues are most sensibly allocated direct to TOCs and funders. These costs and revenues will not therefore be dealt with using the standard steps in the process above.
TOCs and funders
11. Railtrack will be required to calculate charges not only for each TOC, but also for each of the main funder’s (i.e. the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA), all Passenger Transport Executives (PTEs) and the Scottish Parliament). Funding of specific services by County Councils will not be identified. Five TOCs are partly or wholly funded by a body other than the SSRA:
· Scotrail: Scottish Parliament and Strathclyde PTE;
· Northern Spirit: West Yorkshire PTE, South Yorkshire PTE, Nexus PTE, Greater Manchester PTE and the SSRA;
· First North Western: Greater Manchester PTE, Merseytravel PTE, West Yorkshire PTE and the SSRA;
· Merseyrail Electrics: Merseytravel PTE and the SSRA; and
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 13 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
· Central Trains: West Midlands PTE and the SSRA;
12. There are therefore 34 combinations of TOC and funder for which the methodology set out within this appendix will calculate the relevant Fixed Charge.
13. As a result of franchise extensions and the refranchising process, the allocation of individual services to franchises will be likely to change. Railtrack will assume, for the purposes of calculating the FTACs for the periodic review, the current pattern of franchises.
Strategic routes, Railtrack zones and PTE areas
14. As described in the October 1999 periodic review document, costs will be attributed to particular services (and hence operators and funders) at the lowest level which is practically possible. Railtrack will therefore allocate costs to Strategic Routes (as set out in the 2000 Network Management Statement) and zones, leaving a national residual as set out in Chapter 9.
15. As part of the zonal cost analysis Railtrack has also attributed costs where appropriate to seven parts of the network used by PTE funded services.
Scottish Parliament funding
16. In calculating the FTAC, Railtrack will also separate the costs relating to the network used only by Scottish Parliament funded services. For the purposes of allocating the FTAC, Scottish Parliament funded Scottish services means:
· all franchised operator train movements (as opposed to passenger journeys) that begin and end in Scotland; and
· all sleeper train movements operated as part of the same franchise as the services in the former category.
17. For these purposes Scottish services will be assumed to mean services operated by Scotrail. In order to maintain the split between Strathclyde PTE funded and non-PTE funded services, the network within Scotland will be divided into subdivisions (in addition to Strategic Routes) to specify the allocation to the PTE, Scottish services and non-Scottish services (for example, GNER and Virgin services on the main lines to Inverness and Aberdeen).
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 14 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
18. Where the data sources allow, the process will allocate costs to these subdivisions of the Strategic Routes within Scotland, and will then apportion those costs to the traffic using those same subdivisions of the infrastructure.
Detailed description of the FTAC allocation calculation
19. The remainder of this appendix sets out the treatment of individual items in the fixed charge allocation methodology,which proceeds as follows:
· Step 1 – determine allocation treatment of each single till item;
· Step 2 – allocate cost and revenue items between the individual categories in accordance with step 1;
· Step 3 – cost and revenue items allocated to individual categories will then be summed;
· Step 4 – the totals for each category will then be allocated between TOCs and funders as described in Chapter 9;
· Step 5 – each of the cost categories (national, Strategic Route and zonal) will be summed for each TOC and funder;
· Step 6 – any TOC specific revenues will then be added to the resulting charge;
· Step 7 – the resulting charges will then be profiled to be consistent with the Regulator’s determination;
· Step 8 – charges for enhancements negotiated in the first control period will then be added to the individual fixed charges; and
· Step 9 – the resulting base fixed charges will be scaled down to take account of the central revenue grant and profiling of the revenue requirement (see Chapter 8).
Step 1 Determine allocation treatment for each single till item
20. The cost or revenue items in the single till will be assigned to one or more net cost categories, as follows:
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 15 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
· national;
· the Railtrack zones (referred to from here as the zonal cost categories);
· Strategic Route, zone and PTE area (as appropriate) combinations: permanent way (permanent way);
· Strategic Route, zone and PTE area (as appropriate) combinations: signalling; and
· Strategic Route, zone and PTE area (as appropriate) combinations: electrification.
Step 2 Allocate Costs and Revenues to net cost Categories
21. Each cost or revenue item will then be allocated as follows:
· based upon the assignment to a category at step 1, identify the most granular level of data available and use it to construct a disaggregation metric; and
· apply that disaggregation metric to break down the values (across the 5 years of the next control period) determined by the Regulator to the net cost category level.
Access Charge Supplement
22. As set in Chapters 10 and 11 above, the Regulator has concluded that there should be provision for Access Charge Supplements under the template Schedules 4 and 8. The total income to Railtrack associated with these will therefore be subtracted from the amount to be allocated to the FTACs as shown in Tbale 8.4.
Existing Enhancement Supplemental Agreement Revenues
23. Where the cost of the enhancement has been included in the RAB, the TOC specific revenues relating to the enhancement component of existing supplemental agreements (from the first control period) containing an enhancement component will be netted off the national net cost category. The amount to be netted off will be calculated as the amount E in the diagram below where the net present value of the enhancement charge increasing at 5% per annum is equal to the net present value of the existing enhancement charge over the next control period (therefore the shaded areas in Figure G.1 will be equal in present value terms).
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 16 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
Figure G.1: Treatment of existing enhancement charges
Enhancement Charge increasing at 5% pa Existing Enhancement Charge
E
2001 2006
24. Where the enhancement has not been included in the RAB for the purposes of the current review there is no need to net off this cost. These charges will therefore be negotiated separately between Railtrack and the operator as a bespoke adjustment to the template Schedule 7 (i.e. in addition to the charges established as part of the periodic review). The Regulator would expect this adjustment to maintain the effect of the existing agreement so that neither party is either better or worse off as a result of this element of the review.
Base cost of capital on RAB
25. The base cost of capital on the Regulatory Asset Base (RAB) will be subdivided into two main parts and each treated separately:
· return on the opening RAB at the start of the next control period will be allocated to all net cost categories, although primarily to the Strategic Route and zone combinations. A disaggregation metric will be constructed by consolidating the individual asset type renewals disaggregation metrics described below, using total spend by asset type as weighting factors; and
· return on new enhancement scheme expenditure will be logged up during the next control period. The Regulator has identified the expenditure logged up for each individual enhancement project in each year of the next control period. Where the
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 17 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
project can be clearly associated with a particular Strategic Route, the disaggregation metric will allocate the additional return to that route (and therefore at Step 4 to the users of that route). The additional return generated when other non- route specific projects are logged up is allocated to the national net cost category.
National revenue items
26. The following items will be treated as national revenue and no disaggregation to more detailed net cost categories will be performed at this step. Apportionment to TOCs and funders based upon traffic metrics occurs at Step 4:
· baseline property income;
· income from freight fixed charges and electric traction payments from freight operators;
· open access income;
· station charges revenue; and
· depot access charges.
National cost items
27. The following items will be treated as national costs and no disaggregation to more detailed net cost categories will be performed at this step. Apportionment to TOCs and funders based upon traffic metrics occurs at Step 4:
· BT Police;
· disallowed expenditure;
· IT Costs;
· finance costs on work in pogress;
· depot maintenance;
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 18 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
· depot renewals;
· stations maintenance;
· stations renewals;
· ORR licence fee; and
· other operating costs.
Cumulo rates
28. This cost will be partly national and partly zonal. The disaggregation metric will be constructed using Railtrack zonal business plan data.
Electric traction costs and charges
29. Electric traction costs and revenue will treated as a national item and no disaggregation to more detailed net cost categories will be performed at this step. Apportionment to TOCs and funders based upon traffic metrics occurs at Step 4.
30. Electric traction charges and electric traction costs are largely offsetting, the revenue being designed to cover the bulk of the costs on a pass-through basis. The difference will be the cost of non-track (e.g. major station) and non-franchise (open access and freight) consumption. This approach will therefore treat that element of the total electric traction costs not recovered through electric traction charges as a national overhead.
Freight variable charge revenue.
31. The expected value of the freight variable usage charges will be treated as Strategic Route (permanent way), zone and PTE area specific. Data on freight vehicle miles derived from the freight billing systems will be used to construct the necessary disaggregation metric.
Maintenance (other assets, plant and machinery)
32. These elements will have costs allocated to each of the net cost categories defined in paragraph 21. The disaggregation metric used to perform the allocation is the same as the
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 19 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
one that will be used to allocate the main maintenance cost line, Maintenance RT1A, as described below.
Maintenance (RT1A)
33. This item will have costs allocated to each of the net cost categories set out in paragraph 21 of this appendix. The disaggregation metric will be constructed using:
· detailed analysis of the RT1A contracts to Business Route Section (BRS) level and; and
· mappings of these BRSs to the Strategic Route, zone and PTE Area combinations, prepared as part of the zonal cost analysis.
34. The dataset will provide a breakdown of the RT1A contract maintenance costs by:
· work category;
· RT1A contract area; and
· (for the most significant areas of spend), BRS.
35. There are considerably more work categories than the three main asset types (permanent way, electrification and signalling) used in this allocation process, and the consolidation shown in Table G.2 will be used.

36. Where the analysis of the contract separately shows costs associated with the contract work category sidings, depots or disused branch lines, these will be allocated to the zonal net cost category .
37. The costs associated with the remaining RT1A contract work categories are generally much smaller than those in the table above, and will not be broken down to BRS level. They are to be allocated to BRSs in proportion to total of the costs in the work categories in Table G.2.
38. The mapping prepared by Railtrack zones will give, for each BRS, the proportion of the track miles within each Strategic Route, zone and PTE area combination. In most cases this will be simple as BRSs are sufficiently granular sections of the network to fall entirely within one such combination. Where this is not the case Railtrack zones will have estimated the proportion in each, in order that the costs can be allocated across the net cost categories appropriately in creating the disaggregation metric.
39. In preparing these datasets, Railtrack has also identified the proportion of each BRS that was freight avoidable. These costs will then be allocated to the national category.
40. This process allows the calculation of a maintenance cost for each Strategic Route, zone and PTE area combination for each of the three main asset types, Permanent way, Signalling and Electrification. This, combined with the costs allocated as national or zonal will then be used to construct the disaggregation metric.
Other income
41. This item will be treated as partly zonal and partly national. The disaggregation metric will be constructed using the data supplied by Railtrack to the Regulator as part of the May and June 1999 Cost Submissions.
Other production management and other staff costs
42. These items will be primarily treated as zonal costs, although based upon analysis of the more granular Railtrack business plan lines that comprise the overall amount determined by the Regulator, a small proportion of the cost is also treated as National (because it is freight avoidable), and Strategic Route, zone, PTE area (as appropriate) and asset type specific. The disaggregation metrics are therefore constructed from outputs from the zonal cost analysis process, in conjunction with analysis of zonal business plan data.
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 21 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
Renewals
43. Other renewals cost items will be allocated between Strategic Route, zone and relevant asset type net cost categories. This will apply to renewals of the following assets:
· electrification assets;
· plant, machinery and other assets;
· signalling and telecoms; and
· track and structures.
44. The disaggregation metric is constructed from the projected relevant asset renewals expenditure presented in the Route Strategies section of Part 2 of the 2000 NMS. The asset type split (permanent way, signalling and electrification) will be provided by the proportion of the spend for each Strategic Route and zone combination. In addition, a small proportion, representing the expected plant and machinery renewals expenditure on freight only Strategic Routes, will be allocated to the national category.
Signalling staff costs
45. This item will be allocated primarily to the Strategic Route, zone, PTE Area and signalling net cost categories. The disaggregation metric will be constructed using outputs from the zonal cost analysis process.
46. Each zone provided:
· the 1999/2000 actual staff costs associated with each of its signal boxes;
· a list of the Strategic Route and PTE Area combinations that each box controlled; and
· an estimate of the proportion of staff costs for a signal box that was freight avoidable (for the purposes of allocating the franchised fixed charges).
47. For each box, freight avoidable costs will be removed and allocated as national costs. The remainder will be allocated to the Strategic Route and PTE Area that the box controlled.
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 22 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
Where a box controlled sections of network in more than one Strategic Route and PTE Area combination, the costs will be allocated between them based upon the proportion of the total franchise train miles run within the zone.
Variable usage charges
48. This revenue item is allocated entirely to the Strategic Route, zone, PTE area (as appropriate) and permanent way asset net cost categories.
49. The expected variable usage charge revenue for each Strategic Route, zone and PTE area (as appropriate) and year is calculated by multiplying the new vehicle specific unit rates by forecast vehicle miles at this level of granularity. (The usage charge for electrification assets will be included in the traction electricity charge.) The disaggregation metric will then be the forecast revenue for each of these subdivisions of the network as a proportion of the total.
Step 3 Consolidate disaggregated net costs within each category
50. For each of the net cost categories (for each Railtrack zone or Strategic Route, zone and PTE area) the costs and revenues disaggregated at Step 2 will be summed. This will add all of the different costs and revenues that have been allocated to the same category, as used in the apportionment to TOCs and funders, which does not distinguish between them. Where costs and revenues are allocated to the same net cost category, their net value will be transferred to the next step as the amount of the costs remaining to be allocated to those TOCs and funders on the basis of the outputs produced.
Step 4 Apportion net costs to operators and funders
51. This step allocates the net costs from Step 3 to TOCs and funders based upon their share of the Regulator determined traffic metric relevant to that net cost category. The apportionment of the different types of cost is shown in Table G.3, which provides a detailed version of the allocation metrics set out in Table 9.4.
Step 5 Consolidate apportioned net costs
52. The outputs from Step 4 will be summed across the net cost categories for each of the TOCs and funders. The resulting charge (subject to the adjustments in the steps below) will therefore comprise:
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 23 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
· a share of the national net cost;
· a share of the net cost of each zone in which the TOCs and funders operate services; and
· a share of the net cost of each Strategic Route, zone, and PTE area (as applicable) on which the TOCs and funders operate services.

Step 6 Adjust for TOC specific costs and revenues
53. The charges resulting from Step 5 will be adjusted to take account of any items that are not handled by Steps 2-5.
54. Any items of cost or revenue that can be attributed directly to TOCs and funders, will not need to be allocated to a piece of infrastructure and/or net cost category and then apportioned using traffic metrics.
Step 7 Profiling
55. The output from Step 6 will vary by year as the Regulator’s allowed levels of costs and revenues used to generate it will vary by year. This step will use the cost of capital (also determined by the Regulator) to find the Net Present Value (NPV) of the 5 years of raw FTACs for each TOC and funder from Step 6, and generates the intitial FTAC which, given the terms of Schedule 7, results in a profile for the FTAC which has the same NPV.
Step 8 Enhancement supplemental charges
56. The TOC specific revenues associated with enhancements netted off the national net cost category at Step 2, will be added back on to the charges for the relevant TOC. This is the amount represented by E in Figure G.1, which will be added back to the relevant operator’s
fixed charge. This will then be included in the term Ft in the template Schedule 7, and therefore increase at 5% a year.
Step 9 Net off Central Revenue Grant
57. The Central Revenue Grant will be profiled as above and allocated to TOCs and funders on the basis of the charges emerging from Step 9. In this way the grant revenue will be used to reduce the FTAC by the same proportion for each of the TOCs and funders. This revenue will be allocated across TOCs pro-rata to the charge they would otherwise be paying if it were not included. The revenue requirement which has been transferred from the next control period into the 2006 RAB (as explained in Chapter 8) will be treated in the same way.
58. The output of this final calculation will be indexed to define (in 2001/02 prices) the final set of fixed track access charges payable by each of the TOCs and funders in the first year of
the second control period (being the term Ft for the first relevant year in the template

Schedule 7). The level of Ft for each subsequent year of the next control period will increase by 5% a year in real terms in accordance with the terms of Schedule 7.

Appendix H: Calculation of the Schedule 8 payment rates
Introduction
1. Chapter 10 presents the Regulator decisions on the structure of the operational performance regimes. This appendix outlines the methodology which was used to estimate the payment rates for the each operator in the new template Schedule 8. The Regulator will verify the KPMG figures before the middle of November to ensure that they have been calculated according to this methodology.
Step One: Railtrack data
2. Extract operational performance data, at service code level, for all services, for 26 periods from Period 06/97 to Period 06/99 inclusive from PEARS for template regimes. Extract should have both Railtrack and TOC bias for fault attributed delay minutes and performance minutes. It should also include affected TOC and responsible TOC for TOC-on-TOC delay data. This data gives performance minutes by service group using current monitoring points and monitoring point weightings. Also gives fault attributed delay minutes and cancellations data, cancellations and total lateness minutes for each service group.
3. Set up parameters (Monitoring Points, Monitoring Point Weightings, Train Service Codes and Directions) for a Pears programme. Passing the bespoke operators train running data from Paladin through this programme will create equivalent data for bespoke regimes.
4. Format data for use in an access database.
5. Map service codes to service groups using service group definitions as at April 2000.
6. Get off-line settlement data (i.e. agreements between operator and Railtrack which are not recorded in PEARS) on number of delay minutes or lateness minutes reallocated between parties.
7. Get data on mileage in each section of route, of each TOC service code, for three weeks in the summer and four weeks in the winter timetable and multiply weekday data by 5 and add
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 29 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
Saturday and Sunday data. Multiply summer data by 17/3 and winter data by 35/4. Add two results together to give total year data.
Step Two: SSRA data
8. Obtain 1998/9 Passenger Journeys data for each service group from SSRA, by service code, split between peak and off peak based on ticket data.
9. Check that the journeys obtained add to the figures published in the SSRA annual report for 1998/9 in aggregate and at individual operator level.
10. Obtain 2000 Midland Mainline Turbostar passenger journeys.
11. Obtain revenue, journey data, and generalised journey time from 50 tops flows for each CAPRI service code, for the year ended 31 March 1999. The data must include passenger alightings for each station on each service code for each service group. The data should be extracted using a MOIRA arc analysis by AEA (the proprietors of the relevant MOIRA model).
12. Obtain passenger charter data for two years to March 2000 by charter service code.
13. Obtain season ticket sales data for 1998/9 by charter service code.
14. Obtain from SSRA table of charter trigger for reliability and punctuality for each operator at 1 April 2000.
15. Obtain mapping between Passenger Charter Service Group and Service Group.
Step Three: Other data
16. Obtain data from PTEs where the distribution of ridership between stations is not revealed by CAPRI data and for which there is an alternative comprehensive, relatively up-to-date data set.
17. Obtain forecasts for new services: passenger journeys, revenue, and station alightings. Agree with relevant TOC and Railtrack expected performance (based on nearest equivalents).
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 30 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
18. Identify existing monitoring points, monitoring point weightings, and cancellation minutes from Schedule 8. Also existing mapping service codes to service groups.
19. Obtain service patterns for winter 1999/00 from national passenger timetable.
Step Four: Calculate Cancellation Minutes and Cap for each Service Group.
20. Compare existing cancellation weightings with 1999/2000 winter timetable and make adjustments where service frequencies have clearly changed.
21. Average these minutes for all trains in service group.
22. Calculate the Cap as four times the Cancellation Minutes with a minimum of 60 minutes and a maximum of 180 minutes.
Step Five: Set new Monitoring Points and Monitoring Point weightings
23. For template regimes use existing monitoring points as a guide. Use general rule that all services should be incentivised and therefore all termination points should be monitoring points, unless the destination was the end of the line for very few services a day. Set monitoring points based on 1999/00 passenger timetable.
24. Use Merseytravel passenger alighting count data (as agreed with Merseyrail) to supplement CAPRI passenger numbers in Central Liverpool only and to allocate additional passengers to stations alighting data.
25. Use flow data to assess weighting of each monitoring point, using following formulae:
Service Code MPW = Sum of passengers alighting in the relevant direction at the monitoring point or between last monitoring point and monitoring point in question from all services in the service code / sum of passengers alighting from all services at all monitoring points in the service code
Service Group MPW = Sum of (Service code MPW * number of passengers in service code / number of passengers in service group) for all service codes in the service group
26. Check that these add to one for each service group.
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 31 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
27. Discuss with operators, funders and Railtrack, and add new monitoring points as required. Reassess weightings for relevant service groups.
Step Six: Calculate delay minutes for Railtrack and Operator for each service group
28. Take delay minutes for Railtrack, for each Service Group for each period from PEARS, with both an operator and a Railtrack bias. Allocate the difference between these (the disputed minutes) according to the fault attribution of the undisputed minutes.
Step Seven: Calculate deemed minutes lateness for Railtrack and operator for each monitoring point and historic performance levels
29. Take Railtrack and TOC performance minutes at each monitoring point for each service group for the whole period.
30. Divide the performance minutes by the existing Schedule 8 monitoring point weighting factors.
31. Multiply by the new monitoring point weighting factors calculated in Step five.
Step Eight: Calculate historic performance for Railtrack and operator for each service group
32. Sum the performance minutes at each monitoring point for each day and average the daily service group performance minutes over the two year recalibration period.
33. Make adjustment to data for disputed minutes by attributing the performance minutes between parties in the same proportion as agreed minutes in the service group.
34. Make adjustment to attribution of performance minutes to reflect commercial settlements between parties (as provided by Railtrack). The adjustment will change the distribution between the parties not the total number of minutes.
Step Nine: Set Performance Points for next control period
35. For first year of next control period reduce Railtrack historic performance for each service group to reflect improved performance from 1998/9 according to the following formula:
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 32 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
Railtrack performance point 2001/02 = Railtrack historic performance * (1-0.084) * (1- 0.061)
36. Set Railtrack performance point for future years by reducing by 1.9% per annum.
37. Assume that Operator performance is unchanged throughout the period.
Step Ten: Calculate MRE Rate and Societal Rate for each service group
38. Use following formula to calculate the MRE for each service group
MRE = Revenue * Multiplier * GJT elasticity / (Journeys * GJT)
39. Use revenue, journey data, and generalised journey time from 50 tops flows for each CAPRI service code, as supplied by SSRA. Check that standard deviation of result for each flow is low and average across each flow.
40. Use multipliers for unexpected journey time in table below
Journey type Multiplier Long distance, high speed Full fare and season ticket 6.1 Restricted use ticket 4.2 Airport journeys 6.5 All other journeys 2.5
41. Since airport journeys only make up a part of some service groups, assume that ridership on airport flows is constant over time and use information from top 50 flows to estimate proportion of service group to which the higher multiplier should be applied. Include only flows in the service groups listed below, since the airport flows make up too small a proportion of the traffic elsewhere:
· Gatwick Express;
· Thameslink Bedford;
· Thameslink Brighton Mainline;
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 33 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
· Connex South Central Sussex Coast;
· Connex South Central Rugby – Gatwick;
· Thames Trains Reading – Three Bridges;
· WAGN – Anglia Outers; and
· Northern Spirit – Transpennine North and South.
42. Use GJT elasticities in table below
Distance GJT Elasticity Up to 29 miles for London flows -0.8 Up to 29 miles for all other flows -0.9 30-74 miles -1.0 75-149 miles -1.1 150-249 miles -1.2 Over 250 miles -0.9
43. Use agreed data to estimate MRE for new services.
Step Eleven: Calculate Railtrack payment rate
44. Calculate Railtrack payment rate for each service group using following formula for each service group:
Railtrack payment rate for service group = (MRE for service group + Societal rate per passenger for service group) * (1999 passenger journeys for each service group / 364)
45. Use societal rates per passenger as follows:
· 8.5p for all service groups which do not have a societal rate in current control period (other than long distance, high speed services);
· 17p for all service groups which have a societal rate of 7.5p in current control period (including Great Eastern Peak and c2c peak);
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 34 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
· 34p for all service groups which have a societal rate of 15p in current control period; and
· 11p for all long-distance, high-speed service groups.
46. Verify with SSRA that the societal rates in paragraph 44 are correct and correctly applied.
47. Use 1999 passenger journeys from SSRA annual report data + additional assumed passenger journeys.
48. Assume additional passenger journeys per annum of 300,000 for the Ipswich – Basingstoke services included in the WAGN Anglia Local Service Group. In addition, since the Midland Mainline Turbostars only ran for a full year in 2000, use passenger journeys from 2000 for this service group.
Step Twelve: Set up a responsibility matrix
49. Where cause of delay is neither Railtrack nor unattributed, data is available on the operator causing the delay to a service group but not which service group of that operator caused the delay. Hence estimate a responsibility matrix showing the extent to which different service groups interact, using the approach set out below.
50. Estimate a joint running coefficient by multiplying the number of train miles of each TOC service group operating on the same route section to derive a joint running factor to be applied to the joint running between TOCs over each track section.
51. Multiply the joint running coefficient and the number of TOC on self delay minutes per train mile for the responsible service group.
52. Use following formula to allocate delays caused to a service group across all service groups:
Delay for TOC A service group 1 in relevant section caused by TOC B service group 2 = delay for service group 1 over relevant section * service group 2 joint running factor / sum of TOC B service groups factors over relevant track section
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 35 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
Step Thirteen: Estimate daily amount to recover for each service group
53. Calculate the average number of Railtrack attributed delay minutes per Railtrack performance minute by reference to the delay minute data extracted from PEARS and the performance minute data calculated from the historic average lateness calculation in step eight.
54. Calculate Railtrack payments to all TOCs using the following equation:
Railtrack payments to TOC A = Total TOC on TOC delay minutes for TOC A* Railtrack payment rate for TOC A service group / Average annual number of delay minutes per performance minute for Railtrack
55. Re-sort data and aggregate daily amount to recover from each responsible TOC service group.
Step Fourteen: calculate Railtrack passenger charter liability for each TOC
56. Use a normal distribution to assess, for each charter service group, for both reliability and punctuality, the acceptable number(s) of standard deviations from the mean, given the relevant trigger. Must be done for each year of next control period, assuming that the Railtrack improves by 6.1% during 2000/01 and 1.9% per annum during the next control period. Therefore the mean of the distribution moves, though its shape is unchanged.
57. Estimate the mean reliability and punctuality, µ, for each charter service group (CSG), for each year of the next control period.
58. Estimate the standard deviation of reliability and punctuality for each CSG (s).
59. Calculate the probability of performance being below trigger level on both reliability or punctuality measures.
60. If Probability is non-zero, then continue. If not, charter will not be triggered and compensation payment does not need to be calculated. Check for each year of next control period on both measures.
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 36 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
61. Estimate compensation payable by TOC for each CSG given details of the passenger charter and season ticket revenue data, for each year of the next control period, assuming the probability of trigger established in 1.57.
62. Calculate Railtrack compensation to TOC for each measure as:
5% of total season ticket data * Railtrack responsible delay per CSG / Total delay per CSG * Probability of trigger
63. Railtrack compensation to TOC is divided into Railtrack only responsibility and TOC on TOC responsibility as:
Railtrack only compensation = Railtrack compensation * Railtrack only delay / Railtrack responsible delay
64. Estimate total Railtrack only compensation per TOC for each year of the next control period by summing Railtrack only compensation across all CSG in TOC.
Step Fifteen: calculate TOC payment rate for each service group
65. Calculate total TOC on TOC compensation according to the following formula:
TOC on TOC compensation = Railtrack compensation – Railtrack only compensation
66. Apply responsibility matrix to allocate amount to recover between responsible operators (as in step 12).
67. Add charter compensation for each service group to the “daily amount to recover” from Step Thirteen.
68. Divide daily amount to recover for each TOC service group by TOC service group historic performance to give service group payment rates for each TOC for TOC on TOC delay.

ANNEX 3
PART 1
11.2.1 Calculation
During each relevant year t (and so in proportion for any period comprising less than a full relevant year), the Long Term Charge shall be such amount as is calculated in accordance with the following formula:
LTCt = St + Lt - Pt + (IOSt· PPt ) where
LTCt means the Long Term Charge in relevant year t;
St means St-1 · [1 + RPIt-1]; 100
PPt means the proportion of the tariff for the scheme at the Station which Railtrack shall propose and the Regulator shall approve, having regard to the degree to which the relevant output required by the scheme for the relevant year t has been delivered;
IOSt means an amount in respect of the Incremental Output Statement Charge in relevant year t derived from the following formula
IOSt = IOSt-1 · [1 +RPIt-1] 100
but so that, in relation to the relevant year commencing 1 April 2001, IOSt shall have the value set out in the Incremental Output Statement Price List in relation to the scheme for improvements to the Station, and in relation to the next following year
IOSt-1 shall have the same value;
RPIt-1 means the percentage change (whether of a positive or negative value) in the Retail Prices Index published or determined with respect to November in relevant year t-1 and the index published or determined with respect to November in relevant year t- 2;
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 73 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
Lt means an amount (whether of a positive or negative value) allowed in respect of the financial consequences to Railtrack in relevant year t following a relevant change of law, calculated in accordance with Condition F11.3;
Pt means an amount (whether of positive or negative value) if any required to be allowed in relevant year t by Railtrack to Relevant Operators by way of reduction or increase of the Long Term Charge pursuant to the formula provided for under Condition F11.6 for the sharing as between Railtrack and Relevant Operators of the financial consequences arising from the management of or dealing in real or heritable property (in either case whether leasehold or freehold or, in Scotland, held on any tenure);
but so that:
(a) (without prejudice to the calculation of any Long Term Charge relating to a previous year) in relation to the relevant year commencing from a year in which the value
specified in paragraph 3 of Annex 9 is altered, St shall have the value specified in
paragraph 3 of Annex 9 and in relation to the next following relevant year St-1 shall have the same value; and
(b) in relation to the relevant year t commencing 1 April 2001 IOSt shall have the value set out in the Incremental Output Statement Price List in relation to improvements in
facilities at the Station and in relation to the next following relevant year IOSt-1 shall have the same value.
11.2.1A Mid-year calculation
Where an alteration to the amount of the Long Term Charge is made other than at the beginning of the Accounting Year, the increase or decrease to be recovered from or reimbursed to the Users of the station under the Access Charge resulting from the alteration to the amount of the Long Term Charge shall only be recovered or reimbursed from the beginning of the Accounting Period after the Accounting Period in which the alteration of the Long Term Charge is made and the amount to be recovered or reimbursed shall be an amount calculated as follows:
X=A · [Pd/13]
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 74 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
where:
X means the amount to be recovered or reimbursed;
A means the amount of the alteration to the amount of the Long Term Charge; and
Pd means the Accounting Periods remaining in the Accounting Year after but not including the Accounting Period in which the alteration to the amount of the Long Term Charge is made.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note does not form part of the general approval)
Section 22 of the Railways Act 1993 enables the Rail Regulator to give his approval in advance to the making of amendments to access agreements. As long as an amendment falls wholly within the terms and conditions of a general approval, the parties to the access agreement in question may amend it without seeking the Regulator’s approval of the amendment. If it does not come within the scope of the general approval, a specific approval under section 22 must be obtained.
Amendments of access agreements which have not been approved by the Regulator – either under a general approval or a specific one – are void.
This general approval concerns amendments to certain long term charge provisions and the long term charge amount set out in independent station access agreements to give effect to the Periodic Review Notice .
It permits the parties to an independent station access agreement to agree amendments of the agreement if the changes are ones falling within the terms of paragraph 4 of the general approval.
Paragraph 5 of the general approval makes it clear that this is for the purposes only of amendments to access agreements and is not approval for any other purpose.
Nothing in this general approval relieves the parties to an independent station access agreement from complying with the requirements set out in Part 2 or Part 3 of the Railtrack Independent Station Access Conditions in relation to a modification to the station access documentation or to a change to the station.
Under section 72(5) of the Railways Act 1993 a copy of all amendments, including amendments approved under this general approval, of access agreements must be sent to the Regulator within 14 days of being made. Subject to the requirement in section 72(3) to have regard to the need for excluding certain information, such copies will be entered into the public register.

OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 117 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note does not form part of the general approval)
Section 22 of the Railways Act 1993 enables the Rail Regulator to give his approval in advance to the making of amendments to access agreements. As long as an amendment falls wholly within the terms and conditions of a general approval, the parties to the access agreement in question may amend it without seeking the Regulator’s approval of the amendment. If it does not come within the scope of the general approval, a specific approval under section 22 must be obtained.
Amendments of access agreements which have not been approved by the Regulator – either under a general approval or a specific one – are void.
This general approval concerns amendments to certain long term charge provisions and the long term charge amount set out in franchised station access agreements to give effect to the Periodic Review Notice.
It permits the parties to a franchised station access agreement to agree amendments of the agreement if the changes are ones falling within the terms of paragraph 4 of the general approval.
Paragraph 5 of the general approval makes it clear that this is for the purposes only of amendments to access agreements and is not approval for any other purpose.
Nothing in this general approval relieves the parties to a franchised station access agreement from complying with the requirements set out in Part B or Part C of the National Station Access Conditions in relation to a modification to the station access documentation or to a change to the station.
Under section 72(5) of the Railways Act 1993 a copy of all amendments, including amendments approved under this general approval, of access agreements must be sent to the Regulator within 14 days of being made. Subject to the requirement in section 72(3) to have regard to the need for excluding certain information, such copies will be entered into the public register.

APPENDIX 7A
THE PROPERTY ALLOWANCE SCHEME
PART 1
1. Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this Scheme is to provide a method of calculating the aggregate rebateable amount for the purpose of the Agreement in such a way that the Train Operator's access charge rebates reflect to the fullest extent possible up to the limit of the Train Operator's percentage, increases in property revenues and capital gains which can fairly be said to have been generated from land and buildings over and above the levels predicted for the relevant year in the Initial Estimate.
1.2 Railtrack agrees with the Train Operator not to enter into any arrangement or transaction or to conduct its affairs with the primary purpose of avoiding in whole or in part a liability which would otherwise arise under this Scheme or which would not be entered into but for the liability or level of liability which would or might otherwise arise under this Scheme. l.3 Without prejudice to the Regulator's powers under Part 10 of this Appendix 7A to Schedule 7, if Railtrack or any Associate without the prior written approval of the Regulator does or wilfully omits to do anything the effect of which is to reduce the aggregate rebateable amount for any relevant year this Scheme shall be applied as if the aggregate rebateable amount for that year had been increased by an amount equal to the reduction.
2. Records
2.1 Railtrack shall and shall take all reasonable steps to procure that all Associates shall:
(a) prepare and maintain all books, records and documentation necessary for the purposes of this Scheme and any calculations to be made hereunder;
(b) deal with all matters (including correspondence) relating to any matter which is the subject of this Scheme;
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 221 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
(c) give to the Regulator and any representatives authorised in writing by him reasonable access to its books, records and documentation (in whatever medium they are stored) relating to any matter which is the subject of this Scheme;
(d) provide the Regulator and any such representatives with copies or extracts from such books records and documentation; and
(e) co-operate with the Regulator and any such authorised representatives and give such information and explanations in relation to any matter which is the subject of this Scheme as the Regulator or any such authorised representative may reasonably request.
2.2 Any request for information relating to any matter which is the subject of this Scheme shall be addressed to Railtrack as well as to any Associate and any right to require production of books, records or documentation or to give assistance, information or explanations in relation to any matter relating to an Associate shall be satisfied if and to the extent that Railtrack produces or gives the same.

9 Gross property income
The gross property income of Railtrack in relevant year t means an amount calculated in accordance with the accounting guidelines set out in the remaining paragraphs of this Part.
10 Introduction
10.1 The following accounting guidelines shall be applied by Railtrack to calculate the gross income from land and buildings. The amounts shall be extracted from the nominal ledger of Railtrack and shall follow generally accepted accounting practice, accounting policies and accounting rules as adopted from time to time by Railtrack in its annual reports and accepted as such by its auditors.
10.2 These guidelines apply to income from land and buildings including both long and short leases, wayleaves granted by Railtrack and income from roadside advertising and administration buildings, other than those elements occupied by Railtrack for its own purposes.
10.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the gross property income shall comprise the following items included in the Railtrack annual report as property rental income, other income or other operating income:
(a) property rental income;
(b) major station trading income;
(c) franchised station trading income;
(d) other retail trading and advertising income;
(e) income from wayleaves; and
(f) in respect of any income from land or other property which consists of premises used for the purposes of a network, station or depot used for maintaining rolling stock (whether or not the services provided are light maintenance services) and partly for other purposes the proportion of that income attributable to such other purposes.
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 227 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
10.4 Gross property income shall exclude the following items:
(a) in respect of any income from land or other property which consists of premises partly used for the purpose of a network, station or depot used for maintaining rolling stock (whether or not the services provided are light maintenance services) and partly for other purposes, the proportion of the income attributable to such network, station or depot;
(b) recharges of qualifying expenditure including management fees, or station operating costs at major stations;
(c) any other income generated at major stations which is not property rental income and does not arise from retail trading or advertising;
(d) other operating income provided that this is not generated from property activities as described in sub-paragraph 10.3; and
(e) any other income which the Regulator is satisfied on reasonable grounds that it is necessary or expedient to exclude in whole or in part either to give effect to the stated purpose of this Scheme or to promote or achieve the objectives specified in Section 4 of the Act, or to give effect to the exercise of his powers under Railtrack’s network licence.
10.5 Paragraphs 12.3 to 12.5 of this Appendix 7A shall apply to exclusions under sub-paragraph 10.4(e) as though those paragraphs referred to income rather than to disposals.
11. Income
Income shall include all amounts received or receivable in respect of relevant year t in accordance with the concept of matching. These amounts should be the same as the amounts which Railtrack records in its audited annual accounts. There shall be no deductions from income of any sort, including bad and doubtful debts. There should be no differences in the recognition of income either in timing or amount and there should be no attempt to identify base levels of income from any increase or incremental income.

Stations Incremental Outputs schemes
The annual charge for each station is assumed to be £20,000 in 1998/99 prices (£21,500 in 2001/02 prices) on the assumption that the total cost will be fully remunerated through an increase in Long Term Charges and assuming a total program cost of £225 million.
Provision has been made for the Station IOS charges to be levied through an adjustment to the station Long Term Charge. These charges will therefore be levied for each station in proportion to the aggregate Long Term Charges levied at that station.

1.2 Interpretation
For the purposes of this Schedule 8:
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 272 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
(a) a Train shall be treated as being in a Service Group for that part of its journey during which it satisfies the characteristics specified in Columns A and L of Appendix 1 as forming a Service which is included in that Service Group;
(b) events in respect of a Train shall be treated as occurring on the day on which the Train is scheduled in the Applicable Timetable to depart from the first point at which it is to pick up passengers;
(c) save as otherwise provided, each final calculation of minutes shall be accurate to three decimal places; and
(d) unless otherwise specified, references in this Schedule 8 to paragraphs are to paragraphs in this Schedule and references to Appendices 1 or 2 are to Appendices 1 or 2 of this Schedule 8.
1.3 Suspension Notices
Wherever a Suspension Notice is in force, the effects of that Suspension Notice shall be the subject of clause 9 and not of this Schedule 8. Accordingly, for the purposes of this Schedule 8:
(a) neither Railtrack nor the Train Operator shall be allocated any responsibility for those effects; and
(b) those effects shall not be regarded as causing any Minutes Late or Minutes Delay or Cancelled Stops.
2. Calculation of Minutes Late
The Minutes Late at a Monitoring Point on a day shall be derived from the following formula:
Minutes Late = S L
where:
L in respect of a Train is the lesser of:
OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR • October 2000 273 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
(i) the number of minutes (rounded down to the nearest whole minute) by which the time at which the Train stops at the Monitoring Point is later than the time at which that Train is scheduled in the Passenger Timetable to stop at that Monitoring Point; and
(ii) the Cap;
provided that no regard shall be had for any Train which is not recorded as stopping at the Monitoring Point; and
S is the sum across all those Trains in the relevant Service Group which are scheduled in the Passenger Timetable to stop at that Monitoring Point on that day which do so stop.
3. Calculation of Minutes Delay
The Minutes Delay in respect of a Train when it triggers a Recording Point shall be equal to:
(a) in respect of the first Recording Point triggered by that Train on any day, the number of minutes (rounded down to the nearest whole minute) by which the time at which that Train triggers the Recording Point is later than the time at which that Train is scheduled in the Applicable Timetable to do so; and
(b) in respect of any other Recording Point, the lesser of:
(i) the number of Minutes Delay in respect of that Recording Point calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph 3(a) above (as if that Recording Point were the first Recording Point triggered by that Train); and
(ii) the greater of ((A1-A2)+B) and zero
where:
A1 is the number of minutes between the time at which the Train triggers the Recording Point (rounded down to the nearest whole minute) and the time the Train last triggered a Recording Point (rounded down to the nearest whole minute);
October 2000 • OFFICE of the RAIL REGULATOR 274 Periodic review of Railtrack's access charges: Final conclusions Volume II
A2 is the relevant time lapse scheduled in the Applicable Timetable between those same two Recording Points; and
B is any Recovery Time between those Recording Points incorporated in the Applicable Timetable;
(c) provided that:
(i) any Minutes Delay which arise from a single incident or a series of related incidents and which are less than three minutes in aggregate shall be deemed to be zero; and
(ii) if for any Train the aggregate Minutes Delay in respect of all Recording Points caused by a single incident are in excess of the Cap specified in Column K of Appendix 1 for that Service Group, then such excess shall be disregarded.
4. Recording of Performance Information
4.1 Recording of Lateness, Minutes Delay and Cancelled Stops
Without prejudice to its obligations under Part B of the Access Conditions, Railtrack shall use the Performance Monitoring System to record for each day in respect of each Train scheduled in the Applicable Timetable:
(a) the time at which the Train stops to set down passengers at each Monitoring Point;
