Yorkshire And Humber Route Utilisation Strategy
The Yorkshire and Humber Route Utilisation Strategy is a Route Utilisation Strategy (RUS), published by Network Rail in July 2009; it was the twelfth RUS to be completed, not counting the partially completed Network RUS. By default, RUSs are established by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) unless the latter objects within 60 days. The RUS is included in NR's map as established. The scope corresponds roughly with Strategic Routes 10 (North Cross-Pennine, North and West Yorkshire ) and 11 (South Cross-Pennine, South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire ). The Y&H RUS picked up several issues from other RUSs, specifically: * Freight RUS, throughout the RUS area * North West RUS, mainly as regards the Calder Valley, Hope Valley and Huddersfield corridors * East Coast Main Line RUS, mainly at Wakefield Westgate, Doncaster, Leeds and York * Lancashire and Cumbria RUS, mainly as regards the Airedale and Calder Valley corridors * the Network RUS, Electrification workstream * the former ...

Network Rail
Network Rail Limited is the owner (via its subsidiary Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, which was known as Railtrack plc before 2002) and infrastructure manager of most of the railway network in Great Britain. Network Rail is an "arm's length" public body of the Department for Transport with no shareholders, which reinvests its income in the railways. Network Rail's main customers are the private train operating companies (TOCs), responsible for passenger transport, and freight operating companies (FOCs), who provide train services on the infrastructure that the company owns and maintains. Since 1 September 2014, Network Rail has been classified as a "public sector body". To cope with fast-increasing passenger numbers, () Network Rail has been undertaking a £38 billion programme of upgrades to the network, including Crossrail, electrification of lines and upgrading Thameslink. In May 2021, the Government announced its intent to replace Network Rail in 2023 with a ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Network Route Utilisation Strategy
The Network Route Utilisation Strategy (Network RUS) is a Route Utilisation Strategy (RUS) produced by Network Rail (NR). The Network RUS is one of only two (the Network Rail Freight Route Utilisation Strategy, Freight RUS is the other) which have the perspective of the network as whole; most of NR's RUSs are geographical, mainly regional, in nature. Uniquely the Network RUS is divided into four separate workstreams each of which has its own management team and documentary outputs, effectively an RUS in its own right. RUSs are Route Utilisation Strategy#Approach and outputs, established by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) unless the latter objects within 60 days. As at mid-March 2010 two workstreams had been published and established (the #The Scenarios & Long Distance Forecasts workstream, Scenarios & Long Distance Forecasts workstream and the #The Electrification workstream, Electrification workstream); they are consequently included in Network Rail's map as established, a ...

Office Of Rail Regulation
The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is a non-ministerial government department responsible for the economic and safety regulation of Britain's railways, and the economic monitoring of National Highways. ORR regulates Network Rail by setting its activities and funding requirements for each Control Period, ensuring train operators have fair access to the railway network, and enforcing compliance with its network licence. ORR also regulates High Speed 1, the Channel Tunnel, and also acts as the appeal body, controls the network statement and monitors the competitive situation of rail services in Northern Ireland. It is the competition authority for the railways and enforces consumer protection law in relation to the railways. From April 2015, ORR assumed responsibility for monitoring National Highways' management of the strategic road network – the motorways and main 'A' roads in England – and advising the Secretary of State for Transport on the levels of funding and performa ...

Freight Route Utilisation Strategy
The Freight Route Utilisation Strategy is a Route Utilisation Strategy in the United Kingdom, published by Network Rail in March 2007.

It was included in a map published by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) as Route Utilisation Strategy#Approach and outputs, established in May 2007. As with other RUSs, the Freight RUS took into account a number of responses to a Draft for Consultation, including those from the ORR. To quote the foreword: The study recommended a number of approaches and enhancements to the network. Like other strategies in this series, recommendations are divided into short-term (Network Rail#Control periods, Control Period 3, CP3, to March 2009), medium-term (CP4, to March 2014), and long-term (CP5, thereafter). A notable recommendation is the enhancement of the loading gauge from Southampton and the East Anglia coast po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

East Coast Main Line Route Utilisation Strategy
The East Coast Main Line Route Utilisation Strategy (RUS), published by Network Rail in February 2008, was the seventh RUS. RUSs are established by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) unless the latter objects within 60 days. A letter formally confirming establishment, but with some qualifications, was sent by ORR to NR in April 2008, and the RUS is included in NR's map as established. The scope includes the whole of Strategic Route 8 - East Coast Main Line and Route 9 - North East Routes, and part of Route 5 (the Hitchin-Cambridge line). Not strictly within the scope but relevant to the service mix forming present and future utilisation of the RUS area are parts of Route 11 (to Sheffield and to Lincoln, and the diversionary joint GN/GE route from Peterborough to Doncaster via Lincoln), Route 10 (to Hull and to Bradford) and Route 24 (to Aberdeen).

Strategic Rail Authority
The Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) was a non-departmental public body in the United Kingdom set up under the Transport Act 2000 to provide strategic direction for Rail transport in the United Kingdom, the railway industry. Its motto was 'Britain's railway, properly delivered'. It was abolished by the Railways (Abolition of the Strategic Rail Authority) Order 2006, its functions being absorbed by the Department for Transport or the Office of Rail Regulation (now the Office of Rail and Road). Establishment The Shadow SRA was established in 1999 following the election of the Labour Party (UK), Labour government in 1997 in an attempt to increase public interest regulation of the fragmented railway network following the privatisation of British Rail.

Passenger Transport Executive
In the United Kingdom, passenger transport executives (PTEs) are local government bodies which are responsible for public transport within large urban areas. They are accountable to combined authorities, which were created between 2011 and 2016 and took the role of integrated transport authorities (ITAs). The PTEs have joined together to form the Urban Transport Group (Passenger Transport Executive Group (PTEG) until 2016), in which Transport for London and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport also participate. History Transport Act 1968 The first PTEs and PTAs were established in the late 1960s by the Transport Act 1968 as transport authorities serving large conurbations, by the then transport minister Barbara Castle. Prior to this, public transport was run by individual local authorities and private companies, with little co-ordination. The PTEs took over municipal bus operations from individual councils, and became responsible for managing local rail networks. The 1968 A ...
