Dear Paul and Sue
Approval of the 1st supplemental agreement to the track access
contract between Network Rail Infrastructure Limited and First Trenitalia
West Coast Rail Limited dated 11 December 2022
We have today approved the above supplemental agreement submitted to us formally on
18 July 2023 under section22 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 convert a number of calling points from their current
contingent status to firm status to reflect the recast First Trenitalia West Coast Rail (trading
as Avanti West Coast (AWC)) timetable. This entails amending Table 4.1 to move the
rights in question from the Additional to the Regular column in service groups HF01, HF03,
HF04, HF06 and HF08. The application was originally submitted as a section 22A but
agreement between the access parties was reached when AWC reduced the number of
Motherwell calls it sought. The rights are to commence upon ORR approval and will expire
on the Expiry Date or earlier termination of AWC’s track access contract.
