Dear [Redacted]
Approval of the one hundred and twenty eighth supplemental
agreement to the track access contract between Network Rail
Infrastructure Limited (Network Rail) and The Chiltern Railway Company
Limited (Chiltern)
1. We have today approved the above supplemental agreement submitted to us
formally on 14 May 2019 under section 22 of the Railways Act 1993 (the Act). This follows
an earlier informal submission of a draft agreement for our consideration. The purpose of
this letter is to set out the reasons for our decision.
2. The purpose of this agreement is to amend Chiltern’s Track Access Contract to
reflect service changes it is making to the May 2019 timetable. The proposed changes
apply from the Subsidiary Change Date 2019 to the Principal Change Date 2021.
3. The changes will combine a small number of existing Banbury to London Marylebone
and Stratford upon Avon to Leamington Spa services to form through Stratford upon Avon
to London Marylebone services. Prior to the Oxford Remodelling in 2015 these services
operated as through services.
4. There is no overall increase in the quantum of services. The agreement amends the
Birmingham service group in table 2.1, along with the associated changes to calling
patterns in table 4.1.
5. Network Rail undertook the usual industry consultation from 13 March to 9 April
2019. There were no objections and supportive responses were received from Vintage
Trains and Transport Focus.
