  2. Powerhouse Rail Network • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy

  3. Conditional outputs • Reduced journey times between cities • Increased capacity to cater for economic growth forecasts • Minimum city to city connectivity frequencies • For NECA starting point 4 additional trains per hour cutting the journey time Newcastle to Leeds from 90 minutes to 60 minutes and providing 100% to 130% capacity increase • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy

  4. Other related rail studies / influences • HS2 • East Coast Route Study • North East Route Study • TfN Local Strategic Connectivity workstream • TfN Freight workstream • SEP projects / aspirations • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy

  5. Leeds to Newcastle Specifics • increased rail services • Capacity uplift 100% to 130% • Reduce journey times from 90mins to 60mins • Minimum frequency 4tph • Infrastructure and Station workshops as part of EC route study • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy Freight Trans-Pennine CrossCountry LDHS Local HS2 NPR

  6. CONCEPT A and B Newcastle Hull Leeds Manchester Vic New Northern Powerhouse Rail route Upgraded current NR route (could be very long cut-offs) Concept B (northern) Current NR route Link provided to access HS2 route HS2 Concept A Manchester Pic Liverpool Concept B (southern) New or upgraded route Sheffield (Midland) Manchester Airport

  7. CONCEPT C Newcastle Hull Leeds Manchester Vic New Northern Powerhouse Rail route Upgraded current NR route (could be very long cut-offs) Current NR route Link provided to access HS2 route HS2 Manchester Pic Liverpool New or upgraded route Sheffield (Midland) Manchester Airport

  8. North East issues • Quantum of trains proposed on existing lines difficult (expensive) to achieve (including Freight) • Removal of constraints/ New line / significant cut offs / upgrade Leamside • Station capacities • Cost – vs – Benefits of calling at other centres of economic significance • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy

  9. Removal of Constraints / New lines / Cut Offs / Upgrades • Options under consideration • Sections of 4 track railway • Reduce delay at Junctions • Reduce delay at Intermediate Stations • Use of Leamside • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy • Body copy

  10. Programme milestones • Autumn Statement / Spring Statement • Aim to sift options to provide small number of alternatives on each corridor for high level model testing / engineering feasibility / costing. • Agreed methodology of comparing corridor options and ranking them. • Agreed methodology for sequencing between corridors. • East Coast route study to publish for consultation in December
