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

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)

possibly before Christmas?
