Dear Sophie and Graham,
Approval of the 7th supplemental agreement to the track access contract
between Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (Network Rail) and
Caledonian Sleeper Limited (trading as Caledonian Sleeper) dated 2
March 2018
We have today approved the above supplemental agreement submitted to us formally on
30 July 2024 under section 22 of the Railways Act 1993 (the Act). This follows an earlier
informal submission of a draft agreement for our consideration. This letter explains the
reasons for our decision.
Purpose
The purpose of this agreement is to grant Caledonian Sleeper Limited an extension to its
Track Access Contract, from PCD 2024 until PCD 2030. This aligns with the current
Grant Agreement between the Scottish Government and the Operator, which runs until
March 2030. The agreement also amends the Specified Equipment in Schedule 5 to reflect
that Class 90s no longer operate on this network.
This application has changed since the original informal submission on 3 June 2024. That
submission contained a change to Caledonian Sleeper Limited’s platforming rights at
Euston station, making them firm (rather than contingent) for a specific period. Network
Rail subsequently changed its view on this matter and decided that it could not support this
part of the application. ORR then asked Network Rail to submit a revised application,
without the amendment to Euston platforming rights, which was received on 15 July 2024.
Network Rail has advised that a proposed amendment to those rights will be submitted as
a separate application.
