Item 4: East Midlands Priorities

Joint Priorities document presented to

SoS 5th March 2018

Follow up submission: 14th March 2018

Positive meeting with SoS on 11th July

2018 - but nothing in writing!

Need to keep up the pressure…

Making the Most of HS2

Midlands will be the heart of the HS2 Network - 3 new stations and 3

with HS2 connectivity

EM Hub at Toton, Chesterfield, and Staveley Maintenance Depot

We are working together to make the case for building Toton early,

and to develop the strategic and local transport links that will realise

its economic potential

Progress Update

Bring it forward – Case for interim HS2 services nearing completion

Rail Connections – HS2 Ltd progressing design for conventional

compatible link at Hub Station

Road Connections - A52/M1 J25 needs development funding in RIS2,

Midlands Connect Strategic Board 4th December 2018

Housing Infrastructure Fund & Transforming Cities Fund bids crucial, but strong competition for limited funds

Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) does not fully reflect

the ambition of the Growth Strategy, comments due by 21st

December 2018

Midlands Main Line fit for the 21st

Century

Working with DfT to develop an incremental approach to electrification of the line between Kettering & Clay Cross

TfEM working in partnership DfT on the EM Rail Franchise competition

Working with our world class local rail industry to ensure the track and new rolling stock can deliver real improvements

Progress Update

Franchise competition still on track…despite Rail Review

Liaison with three bidders led by Cllr Roger Blaney - and

discussions are ongoing

Electrification through Market Harborough Station

confirmed…but no public commitment to incremental

approach…yet

Positive discussions with DfT on ongoing role for TfEM

Improving access to

East Midlands Airport

EMA is a major international

gateway and economic asset

5 million passengers per year

and UKs largest dedicated air-

freight airport - and plans for

major growth

Adjacent Strategic Freight

Interchange will generate 1,000s

of new jobs

But need to improve road and

particularly public transport

surface access…and links to HS2

Progress Update

Initial Proposals for strategic public transport links between

the Hub Station and EMA to be discussed on the 14th

December HS2 Executive Board meeting

Implementation of road improvents relating to EM Gateway

Freight Interchange and M1 Smart Motorway schemes

ongoing….

Last mile road access to EMA (Ashby Road) discussed as

part of DfT report published following Budget – but currently

no proposals for any enhancement by the Local Transport

Authority or Highways England

A46 Growth Corridor

• I45 mile corridor from the Severn Estuary

to Humber ports

• Support key economic sectors including

automotive, aerospace, agri-food and

textiles

• Huge potential for further economic and

housing growth - bigger then CaMKOx!

• Replacement of Newark Flat Crossing

key to improving east-west rail services

Progress Update

Midlands Connect published Stage 1 of the Strategic

Corridor Study in November 2018 - highlights acceleration

of Newark Bypass, Leicester SE Bypass and improvemets

between Lincoln & Humber Ports

Newark Show & Tell brought together relevant Highways

England and Network Rail teams for the first time – agreed to

form a joint working group to develop proposals

Midlands Connect to develop strategic case for both the

bypass and the replacement of the Newark ‘Flat Bed

Crossing’

A5 Growth Corridor & Newark

A5 (Watling Street) an major E-W route – and an alternative to M6

Key to major employers, particularly freight distribution

Major housing and employment growth planned along the corridor over next decade

But route is variable standard, accident prone and frequently congested…

TfEM working to develop a strategic approach to improvement - particularly between M42 and M69

Progress Update

Longshoot-Dodwells ‘pinchpoint’ improvement still to be

delivered

Midlands Connect Corridor Study, focussing on section

between M42 and M69, about to commence

Transforming East-West Connectivity

Key UK transport corridors

predominately North South

Poor East West connectivity

between midlands cities

undermining growth:

Nottingham/Derby/Leicester

/Lincoln to Birmingham (Rail

& Road)

Leicester to Coventry (Rail)

Midlands Rail Hub and Road

Hub projects promoting

targeted enhancements

Progress Update

Midlands Rail Hub SOBC is nearing completion - but will

need to be taken forward through Network Rail’s

Enhancement Pipeline process…

Update on Coventry - Leicester – Nottingham Corridor

Study to follow…

Coventry to Leicester / Nottingham Strategic Outline Business Case

(SOBC)

Stephen Pauling, Interim Head of Rail and HS2

Introduction

32

Midlands Connect currently finalising an SOBC for improved connectivity on the corridor, which investigates three sets of options:

• Interchange at Nuneaton

• ‘Non-stop’ at Nuneaton

• Reversal at Nuneaton

Conditional Output Existing Performance

CO3a – All our key centres and national destinations to be served by direct services with no interchanges

CO3b – CO3b – Rail journeys between Coventry and Leicester to have a 36-minute end to end journey time

CO4a – Off peak “everyone gets a seat” – seats occupied <=100%

CO4b – Peak – no more than 20 minutes standing into our key centres

CO4c – Sufficient rail freight capacity

Key

Significant gap

Some gap

Achieved

The Corridor

33

• Coventry and Leicester are the largest urban centres in the UK that are in such close proximity without a direct rail link

• This work ultimately aims to provide that direct link and on to Nottingham also, to join together three of the largest economic centres in the Midlands

Optioneering

39

Three sets of options:

• Improved interchange: introduces a higher frequency of service either side of Nuneaton. These options do not require grade separation at Nuneaton

• Non-stop at Nuneaton: introduces new non-stop services between Coventry and Leicester, passing non-stop through Nuneaton via an underpass

• Reversal at Nuneaton: extends Coventry to Nuneaton local services to Leicester and beyond, through a reversal at Nuneaton, which requires a new flyover

CO – Railfreight

Key to Conditional Output performance

Significant gap Some gap Achieved

The analysis confirms that there is strong performance across all three options

While the ‘non-stop’ option is weaker in value for money terms, it performs most strongly against the Conditional Outputs, through:

• Providing a direct service

• Broadly meeting the journey time aspiration

• Providing an alternative route for railfreight

Next Steps

42

Now incorporating comments received from:

• Department for Transport

• Warwickshire County Council

• Leicestershire County Council / Leicester City Council

Interim draft SOBC submitted by end of November, with final to be submitted by mid- December

We are now commissioning Network Rail to develop GRIP2 costs for the corridor between Coventry and Nuneaton (including dive-under / flyover)

Item 6: Midlands Connect Update
