    Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Appendix: London’s Story © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London Community of Metros CoMET The Operator’s Story: Notes from London Case Study Interviews February 2017 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a permanent record for the researchers of what was said by people interviewed for ‘The Operator’s Story’ in London. These notes are based upon 14 meetings between 6th-9th October 2015, plus one further meeting in January 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and TfL. However, in some cases it is noted that a comment was made by an individual external not employed by TfL (‘external commentator’), where it is appropriate to draw a distinction between views expressed by TfL themselves and those expressed about their organisation.

The air quality in the district is reasonably good. There are two large motorways in the district; the M25 and the M11 however the main source of air pollution in the district is local road traffic with increased concentrations of vehicle emissions related polutants limited to congested high street areas and busy junctions. The District Council has completed all rounds of the review and assessment to date, which led to a number of detailed assessments for nitrogen dioxide. Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) were declared for Epping High Street in 2010, and Bell Vue, Bell Common in 2011. The Epping High Street AQMA was declared solely on the basis of modelling information, but was revoked in 2011 on the completion of diffusion tube monitoring, which confirmed that nitrogen dioxide were below the air quality objective. All other reports judged that it was not necesarry to declare any further AQMA. This Progress Report builds on previous air quality work, and reports on 2012 monitoring data.

    Ppps Transport for London (Tfl) Originally Set up Nearly One Quarter of the UK’S Entire PPP Programme

    1. Case studies 1.1. Case study: London Transport – the economic advantages of re-municipalising PPPs Transport for London (TfL) originally set up nearly one quarter of the UK’s entire PPP programme. Nearly all of these PPPs have now been terminated. Between 1996 and 2005 ten PPPs were set up for various developments of the underground and light rail public transport systems in London. The three largest PPPs were set up in 2003, for the renovation and maintenance of the entire London underground railway system. These were awarded to two large private consortia, Metronet and Tubelines, under PPP contracts worth over £17 billion (USD $26 billion). TfL and the government guaranteed 95 per cent of all the debt raised by the consortia to finance the PPPs. These PPPs were set up despite strong opposition from the elected London mayor and assembly and their professional advisers, who wanted the work to be done by direct labour, financed by issuing bonds. The first terminations happened in 2007 following the collapse of Metronet, which held two of the PPP contracts. Metronet was unable to manage the work within the amount budgeted in the PPP, and ran up a deficit of over £1 billion. TfL refused to provide an extra subsidy to cover this loss, and Metronet went bankrupt, although its shareholders had already received generous dividends. The overall cost to the taxpayer of this collapse was estimated at between £170 million and £410 million. The final report on the PPP stated, “The legacy left by Metronet’s former shareholders was one of poor programme management and system integration, ineffective cost control, a lack of forward planning and inefficient fiscal management.”1 The UK parliament’s Transport Committee summarized the lessons in a series of damning statements: “It is difficult to lend any credence to the assertion that the Metronet PPP contracts were effective in transferring risk from the public to the private sector.

    Thomas Brassey and His Link to Heritage Railways No 3 the Epping

    Thomas Brassey and his link to Heritage Railways No 3 The Epping Ongar Railway The Epping Ongar Railway is a preserved line operating between Ongar, North Weald and and Epping Forest, a distance of 6 miles. The branch line to Ongar was originally built by Thomas Brassey under a contract for the Great Eastern Railway (GER) awarded in August 1862. The line, from Loughton via Epping, a distance of some 11 miles, was built as an extension of the route from London (Stratford) to Loughton previously opened in 1856 by the Eastern Counties Railway. The preserved railway now operates on part of this line. It was built as single- track throughout with intermediate stations at Chigwell Road (now Debden), Theydon Bois, Epping, North Weald and Blake Hall and also included the Cripsey Brook Viaduct near Ongar. The line was opened in April 1865. A number of improvements were subsequently made. The section between Loughton and Epping was doubled in 1893. Following Nationalisation in 1948 the control of the line passed to the London Transport Executive and electrification through to Epping was completed in 1949 becoming part of the Central Line. The single line section between Epping and Ongar was electrified in 1957 although in practice the low-cost upgrade was never adequate to operate through trains and the branch was kept and operated as an isolated shuttle. From the late 1960s passenger numbers along the Epping to Ongar section declined and services were progressively reduced leading to closure in 1994. In 1998 the line was purchased by a private company.
