  • Competitive Tendering of Rail Services EUROPEAN CONFERENCE of MINISTERS of TRANSPORT (ECMT)
    Competitive EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT Tendering of Rail Competitive tendering Services provides a way to introduce Competitive competition to railways whilst preserving an integrated network of services. It has been used for freight Tendering railways in some countries but is particularly attractive for passenger networks when subsidised services make competition of Rail between trains serving the same routes difficult or impossible to organise. Services Governments promote competition in railways to Competitive Tendering reduce costs, not least to the tax payer, and to improve levels of service to customers. Concessions are also designed to bring much needed private capital into the rail industry. The success of competitive tendering in achieving these outcomes depends critically on the way risks are assigned between the government and private train operators. It also depends on the transparency and durability of the regulatory framework established to protect both the public interest and the interests of concession holders, and on the incentives created by franchise agreements. This report examines experience to date from around the world in competitively tendering rail services. It seeks to draw lessons for effective design of concessions and regulation from both of the successful and less successful cases examined. The work RailServices is based on detailed examinations by leading experts of the experience of passenger rail concessions in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.

  • The Swedish Railway Deregulation Path
    Review of Network Economics Vol.7, Issue 1 – March 2008 The Swedish Railway Deregulation Path GUNNAR ALEXANDERSSON * Department of Marketing, Distribution & Industry Dynamics, Stockholm School of Economics STAFFAN HULTÉN Department of Marketing, Distribution & Industry Dynamics, Stockholm School of Economics Abstract This paper deals with railway deregulation and related reforms by means of a case study of Sweden, studying the 1988 split of railway infrastructure from operations and the subsequent steps of vertical and horizontal disintegration to a market characterized by decentralization and intra-modal competition. We also analyze the current market situation, in terms of the actors and their roles, and industrial organization measures. This assessment is used to discuss the sustainability of the current regulatory structure, concluding that although it seems more sustainable than in the past, regulators will sooner or later have to deal with some of its inconsistencies. 1 Introduction Since the late 1980s, several countries in Europe have gradually started to reform their national railway monopolies, using vertical separation of infrastructure from operations, introducing intra-modal competition by various procedures and contracts, and sometimes partial privatization of the railway industry. While some countries have clearly been pioneers in this respect, we have also seen the rise of common EU policies, eventually affecting all member states. In this paper, we discuss the Swedish process of reforming the railways in the past decades. The first part of the paper deals with the economic and legal reasons for a deregulation of the railway sector and discusses the potential contribution of case study research of regulatory reforms. In a second part of the paper, we turn to Sweden, looking at the development since 1988, including the most important effects and the current market situation.
