Dear Omowunmi and Sue
Approval of the 22nd supplemental agreement to the track access
contract between Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (Network Rail) and
First Trenitalia West Coast Rail Limited (trading as Avanti West Coast
(AWC)) dated 1 December 2022
We have today approved the above supplemental agreement submitted to us formally on
27 March 2025 under section 22 of the Railways Act 1993 (the Act). This follows an
earlier informal submission of a draft agreement for our consideration. ORR’s approval of
this application ensures that AWC can provide continuity of services to its passengers from
the Subsidiary Change Date (SCD) in May 2025. This letter explains the reasons for our
decision. It also explains ORR’s position on the concurrent applications that AWC has
submitted in accordance with section 22A of the Act.
Concurrent section 22A application
On 24 April 2024 ORR wrote to industry to set out a process for access applications for the
December 2024, May 2025 and December 2025 timetable changes. In that letter we asked
industry to comply with a deadline of 20 May 2024 for applications for additional rights (or
amended rights that change capacity parameters) for these timetable changes that met
specific criteria. AWC submitted several such applications on 17 May 2024, including the
3rd and 17th supplemental agreements.
