A study of the rail corridors in Oxfordshire has been undertaken by Network Rail in partnership with the Department for Transport and local stakeholders led by the Oxfordshire Growth Board. The scope of the study has included the possibility of reopening the line between Oxford and Cowley for passenger services, with two new stations serving the Oxford Business and Science Park. The work undertaken to date has not included an assessment of the impact on carbon emissions.<\/p>

A study of the rail corridors in Oxfordshire has been undertaken by Network Rail in partnership with the Department for Transport and local stakeholders led by the Oxfordshire Growth Board. The scope of the study has included an assessment of the demand for train services to and from Oxfordshire stations, including Culham, taking account of planned housing growth contained within existing Local Plans.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Oxfordshire Rail Corridor Study will be published this Spring, and the outcomes will be progressed in accordance with the Rail Network Enhancement Pipeline. The work undertaken to date has not included an assessment of the impact on carbon emissions of any proposals, which is because the limit of the study work was to produce a train service specification to meet forecast demand, understand the existing capacity shortfall and the infrastructure interventions that might be required in order to meet that specification.<\/p>

Euston is a highly complex major programme in its own right, with a number of projects being developed within a confined space. Greater integration between the projects at Euston, via the establishment of a single plan and the establishment of a dedicated delivery vehicle for the Euston project, is essential to delivering the full benefits of the scheme. The new delivery arrangements which are being considered for the Euston terminus will not impact a decision on whether to issue a Notice to Proceed.<\/p>

Following the Prime Minister\u2019s announcement on 11 February that the Government will proceed with HS2, the Final Business Case for the first phase of the scheme, between Birmingham and London, must now be formally approved ahead of the intended start of main construction works along the route in April 2020. The business case will set out the strategic importance of the scheme and allow a final decision by Government on its viability, affordability, achievability, deliverability and value for money. Approval of the case is as a pre-condition of HS2 Ltd issuing Notice-to-Proceed to its supply chain.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p> As of the December 2019 timetable, Network Rail have been unable to successfully operate electric services in the Severn Tunnel due to contamination of overhead line insulators. This does not affect the benefits delivered by the December 2019 timetable, as the small journey time impact of running in diesel can be absorbed by the timetable. They have been working with Cardiff University to assess ways of mitigating the effects of the contamination and are installing electrical switching equipment to allow maintenance cleaning to be done more easily in the future. Testing will commence in Spring 2020, with an aim of commencing electric services before the end of 2020.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
