Ely Area Improvements

Ely Area is the next major constraint that requires unlocking in order to providebenefits to passenger and freight services

Ely Area taskforce was set up in order to realise all stakeholder aspirationsaround train services and local growth

Network Rail has developed a train service specification for the Ely Area, whichhas been consulted on with the taskforce

Network Rail have are working with New Anglia and GCGP LEPs in order tosecure funding to develop the scheme

We need to work together to build a strategic business case to put togovernment for funding

/

GEML – stakeholder aspirations

35

Through working with the GEML taskforce weunderstand the aspiration for improved andconsistent journey times and more services

The Anglia Route Study (published March2016) gives a set of priorities for morefrequent and faster services for ourpassengers

These interventions were not withstanding thenew rolling stock which allows for greaterpeak capacity – need to understand order ofpriorities

What do we want from Rail Connectivity?

4 Cs from Rail Technical Strategy:

Capacity: Congestion-free, people per hour

Carbon: Sustainable (energy, air quality, noise)

Cost: Value 4 money (low capex & LCC, safety)

Customer: flexible, convenient, rapid door-to-door journeys, “posh” – falling bus ridership…

… how about ditching rail for electric cars?

62


Answer: Self-driving Citroën DS19, 1969?


What don’t we want?

PAIN! Traveller Needs & UK Capability Study (Oct 2015)

Public transport perceptions (from Customers):

Poor value 4 money

Lack of personal space due to crowding

Limited internet connectivity

Hard to find parking

64


What have others got?

Light rail: Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Croydon, Nottingham, Edinboro, …

Capacity: Congestion-relief

Carbon: Pollution-free centres

Cost: Economic regeneration (& 30% electric)

Customer: 20-24% modal shift to public transport

…but UK track infra costs high, so innovate… TRL’s prefabricated lightrail track @Long Marston 2017?

65


What have others got?

Electric buses: 1500 hybrid doubledeckers in London, to double by 2020 e.g. ZeEUS

3 electric-diesel buses trialing wireless inductive charging at termini; running 80%electric mode, 20-hr day;topped up with regenbraking & at night

66


What have others (not/ not yet) got?

Leeds New Generation Trolleybus:

Transformation, reinventing like tram→light rail

ACTs for trolleybuses: overcomes technical Leeds objections, interest from Leicester, invented in Loughborough… 67


How does ACTs transform?

68

No wires or switches

No action required by driver: automatic

De-wiring and re-wiring at up to 25mph


What would ACTs look like?

Trolleybus Backup Power Battery Character Curve

Trolleybuses spend much longer under wires than not(more than 3 times), so batteriesmaintain full charge.
