  4. Interesting Public Transport Projects • Generally smaller scale • Complex funding structures • Variety of project controls • Significant partnerships • EU involvement

  8. Tramway de Reims: First French PPP • 30-year contract to design, build, operate & maintain • Payment by results • Major political considerations • Challenge for rolling stock supplier • Questionable “fit” to EU tendering procedures • Problem of network expansion • Complex relationship with Versement Transport

Edinburgh: hope for the UK? • Narrow escape from political dogma • Special Purpose Vehicle • TIE: Transport in Edinburgh • Lothian Buses – Edinburgh Trams • Early involvement of operator • High-risk vehicle procurement [CAF] • Possible rolling programme of network extensions • Beware Her Majesty’s Treasury!

  10. EU Funding in New Member States • Poland: Łódz North – South Tramway Corridor Renewal • Lithuania: Kaunas Trolleybus network extensions linked to construction of new housing areas

  11. Summary • Several potential NETLIPSE case studies • Possible additional funding for NETLIPSE 2 • Smaller projects add value to the outcome • France, Spain, Lithuania “on board” [+ Scotland!] • Relationship to the Climate Change Agenda • Involvement of regional and city authorities • Wider input to IPAT and Business Case studies

  12. Thank you.....and remember... The bitterness of poor quality is rarely exceeded by the sweetness of low price ........... not, I’m afraid, a Braddock original!

  13. And last but not least......... Remember the little guy at the very end of the food chain – he’s the poor soul who has to make it work every day!
