Dear Catherine and Shona
Approval of the sixty-second supplemental agreement to the track
access contract between Network Rail Infrastructure Limited
(Network Rail) and Arriva Rail London Limited (ARL)
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 on 6 March of a draft agreement for our consideration.
This letter explains the reasons for our decision.
Purpose of the agreement
2. This agreement provides ARL with amended access rights for it to operate its
May 2019 timetable. This includes extending the expiry date of the existing level of
services in Service Group EK01 ‘Orbitals’ to maintain the frequency of 8 trains per hour
(tph) on London Overground services between Stratford and Richmond/Clapham.
The ‘Watford – Euston DC lines’ service in Service Group EK02 is also increasing from
3tph to 4tph to meet customer demand and close. Network Rail has agreed to these rights
for one year initially until the Subsidiary Change Date 2020 and will consider extending
them in the light of operational performance.
Industry consultation
3. Network Rail undertook the usual industry consultation. Govia Thameslink Railway
Limited sought some clarification on the proposals but did not object to them.
