Generalised costs and access to airportsGeneralised Costs• Cash cost
– Marginal cost of car per person– Parking– Return trip for kiss and fly– Bus/rail/metro fare– Taxi fare per person
• Time cost• Reliability (buffer time cost)• Comparative comfort/practicality
– Baggage– Crowding– Transfers– stairs/distance for transfers on foot

UK catchment analysis: two-hour drive-times

• 2 hour drive catchments• Mean drive time 1.0 hour to nearest alternative• Potentially very competitive structure• Similar overlap of catchments in Japan, Italy .....• Hubs usually different
Mode shares for passenger access to Heathrow (%)

High Speed Rail
• 9-12 M pass pa breakeven• 400-600km maximum competition with air• Stop at airport undermines time savings for city-city service• Network node more valuable than single HSL
• HSR replaced Air 80%+
Modal shift from introduction of HSR (% shares)

• Principle access to airports is by road – end-to-end convenience with baggage.
• Road catchment determines competition between airports.• Biggest modal transfer is from conventional rail to HSR until
distances of 500 km or where sea crossing.• Value for hub feeder substitution depends on geography, as HSL
only viable for city centre pairs with market of 9m plus• To relieve “capacity crunch” all options important
– SESAR– Runway congestion pricing– Runway capacity– HSR where spatial geography fortuitous – Japan
