Unlocking Future Growth: Opportunities and Challenges a PTEG perspective

1. Unlocking Future Growth:Opportunities and Challenges a PTEG perspective Geoff Inskip Chief Executive Centro Director General � Rail PTEG

2. Unlocking Future Growth:Opportunities and Challenges a PTEG perspective PTEG has long history of supporting and investing in our local rail networks - Good Transport is critical to economic growth � to link jobs and services and deliver sustainable communities Cities will remain important economic engines of the economy Need for improved connectivity to capture depth and breadth of labour markets Adapt to the challenges of low carbon economy and housing need and getting people back into work

3. Unlocking Future Growth:Opportunities and Challenges a PTEG perspective PTEG�s role in Rail Capacity Tram Train High Speed Network Smarter Choices Funding

4. Economic importance of urban rail networks recognised by Government, from which HLOS funding derived Rail�s Success story: Historic growth has been over 5% per annum since 2004 and 80% in the last 10 years; A number of routes are growing by over 10% p.a. Current network constraints expansion opportunities � planning for the future Transforming Rail

5. Rail - Network Development Strategies Network Wide CP4 Timetable Improvements Train Lengthening Park and Ride Expansion Station Improvements Route Specific for CP5 Improvements New chords eg�Camp Hill Chords� Line Upgrades Station Upgrade Electrification eg Liverpool Manchester via Widnes

6. Freight Network Development Freight important for City Regions Government announced �132.5m TIF grant for route upgrades from Southampton and Felixstowe to the West Midlands New Freight Line -Stourbridge � Walsall - Lichfield �200m in Strategic Business Plan for Strategic Freight Network

7. Rolling Stock Capacity Commuter market will grow as car becomes more expensive Overcrowding � choice of car National vs local rail

8. Rolling Stock Capacity Concerns over deployment of HLOS numbers � 1300 new carriages Considerable number of routes operating at or near capacity 1:5 commuters now use rail for journeys into Birmingham

9. Why Tram-Train in UK? Improved city centre penetration � better range of city centre destinations Divert local services off heavy rail infrastructure to free up capacity for heavy rail/hubs Reduced costs? Better passenger journey opportunities Lighter vehicles � more fuel-efficient Reduced track impact � and reduced track access charges? More services serving more stops Re-vitalised services on community rail lines � turning spirals of decline into virtuous circles?

10. Tram Train Opportunities in UK Manchester Marple Mid-Cheshire line West Midlands Coventry to Nuneaton Wednesbury to Stourbridge Birmingham City Centre Leeds Harrogate York Leeds Bradford Airport Middlesborough Darlington Tyne and Wear

11. Benefits of Tram-train -Passengers Improved connections to rail network Increased service frequencies New stops Longer operational day Faster journey times New more accessible rolling stock Improved city centre penetration/better urban integration

12. Benefits of Tram-Train - Promoters Short lengths of new line can link existing railway and tramway lines to create extensive networks at minimal capital cost by maximising use of existing infrastructure Frees up capacity at Mainline stations Reduced track wear Simpler operating procedures Light rail station design Line of sight Various power configurations

13. High Speed Network We see three principle advantages: Boost regional economic growth bringing cities closer and relieving pressure on SE Low carbon economy Increase capacity on Britains rail network

14. High Speed Network Capacity � HS routes to be located to provide extra capacity and to relieve existing rail network Economic Regeneration � help stimulate city region economies Modal shift � attractor from short haul aviation and cars/motorways Network � comprehensive and nationwide to spread benefits and obtain wide support

15. Smarter Choices - Integration Smarter choices have great potential Good Integration will bring significant benefits but what do we mean by Integration? There are a number of Levels of Integration Information Services Fares & Ticketing High quality infrastucture

16. Phase One of a �5m transformation programme funded by GMPTE and Manchester Enterprise Modern facility whilst maintaining historical features of station Striking new glass entrance hall Victorian brickwork uncovered and restored New ticket office Improved passenger information & CCTV Bus and taxi facilities upgraded New ramps and lifts

17. Flagship development Aim to improve public transport connection and create an engaging passenger environment Bright & inviting to users Optimum use of natural light High quality contemporary design encompassing a bus concourse, rail ticket office, retail facilities, caf�, offices and bridge link to existing rail station Use of sustainable source and recyclable materials

18. New �32m station facility Excellent point of access to national rail network A single integrated booking office and information point Encompassing bus, rail and airport services A 24 hour, high frequency, airport link 240 space �Park & Ride� Secure cycle and motorcycle parking Showcase low carbon construction and energy use Detailed access features

19. Iconic new station facade A grand concourse that is over three times bigger than present, and which is enclosed by a spectacular, giant light-filled atrium Eight new station entrances with better through access for pedestrians More accessible, brighter and clearer platforms with 42 new escalators and 14 new lifts Room for even more passengers to use the station in comfort Stimulus for physical regeneration of surrounding areas with potential creation of over 10,000 new jobs

20. Funding Rail has high fixed cost � Govt will be forced to take more risk Government Cuts � but is there a special case for Transport? Cities support scheme for 3 years then DfT will pick up during CP5 Who Pays? Users or Taxpayers
