question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the impact that the decision by the Office of Road and Rail (ORR) to allow competition on the East Coast Main Line will have on the reliability and timekeeping of the existing East Coast Main Line franchise and other operators using the railway; and what assessment they have made of the impact the proposed improvements to the infrastructure being made by Network Rail in Control Periods 5 and 6 and the ORR decision on competition will have on the existing standard of performance.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2016 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has not itself undertaken an analysis of the effects of the ORR’s decisions on access to the East Coast Main Line on the reliability and performance of services on the route. In correspondence to the ORR ahead of its decision, the Department expressed concern about the potential adverse performance impacts of allowing additional open access operation on the route.</p><p> </p><p>The potential additional capacity which would be provided by the enhancements to the route currently being planned by Network Rail over Control Periods 5 and 6 has been taken into account by the ORR in its decisions on access.</p><p> </p><p>We now look to Network Rail and the relevant train operators to work together through the normal industry processes, under the oversight of the ORR, to ensure that the resulting pattern of services operates as effectively as possible for passengers and freight users of the line, and to ensure that any negative impacts on performance are minimised.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/06/2016 11:07:25 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of whether the new open access operators using the East Coast Main Line will pay access charges that provide for fair competition with other operators, including VTEC; who determines those charges; and whether those charges reflect the opportunity costs that arise from using trains offering less seating capacity than the principal franchisee’s trains.

uin	HL404
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2016 answer text <p>Setting the framework for track access charges is the responsibility of the independent regulator, the Office of Rail and Road (the ORR). The ORR will set the charging framework for all operators as part of the regulatory process leading up to the next control period (April 2019-2024). As part of that process, the Government has clearly indicated that it supports fairer charges for open access operators and has set out its desire to see changes to those charges as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p>Track access charges are not set on the basis of opportunity costs.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/06/2016 11:06:45 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how long it has been since the Operational Research Computerised Allocation of Tickets to Services arrangements under which revenue is shared between operators were last updated; who is responsible for updating those arrangements; and whether that process is open to public scrutiny.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL405
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2016 answer text <p>The Department for Transport does not hold information on when Operational Research Computerised Allocation of Tickets to Services (ORCATS) was last updated. Any changes to ORCATS allocations is a matter for the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC). However we understand from ATOC that as the way in which ORCATS currently works is built into the planning assumptions made by franchise bidders, there is no intention to change the actual way in which ORCATS works. The increase in future ticketing, such as smartcards and barcodes, will in time lead to actual usage based allocations being used, but for now the ORCATS model remains the industry method of allocation.</p><p> </p><p>Further information can be obtained from ATOC who can be contacted at:</p><p> </p><p>ATOC Ltd</p><p>2nd Floor</p><p>200 Aldersgate Street</p><p>London<br>EC1A 4HD</p><p><a href="mailto:enquiry@atoc.org" target="_blank">enquiry@atoc.org</a></p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/06/2016 11:05:10 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
