Dear Catherine and Mark
Approval of the sixty sixth supplemental agreement to the track access
contract between Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (Network Rail) and
Arriva Rail London Limited (ARL)
1.On 15 May 2020, we approved the above supplemental agreement submitted to us
formally on 14 May 2020 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.
2.This agreement provides ARL with a mix of firm and contingent rights for the
introduction of West London Line shuttle services from the Subsidiary Change Date (SCD)
2020 until the parties’ current track access agreement expires on the Principal Change
Date (PCD) 2025. Specifically, there will be an additional two trains per hour (peak) and
one train per hour (off peak) shuttle services between Clapham Junction and Shepherd’s
Bush. Firm Rights were sought for those services which have been fully validated and
accommodated within the timetable, and Contingent Rights sought for those services
which have not been accommodated within the timetable. The initial application that went
out to consultation was for Firm Rights only but in response to concerns raised in the
consultation,the parties reduced those Firm Rights within the application to align with the
paths that are currently in the timetable.
3.The services will run during weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays and will alleviate
gaps and provide better service intervals for passengers. Current service gaps have led to
severely overcrowded services which contributes to poor performance due to increased
station dwell times. Platform 17 at Clapham Junction will be used for these services,
meaning there will be no impact on the North London Line timetable. A Joint Timetable
