Dear James
Re: Hitachi Rail Limited - Application for Directions under Section 17 of the Railways Act
1993 – ORR letter of 01 December 2020.
Abellio East Midlands Limited (AEM) has reviewed the requests for further information contained within
the ORRs letter of 01 December 2020 and hereby presents its response to the request made. It should
be noted that the detailed information provided is for the benefit of the ORR only and permission is not
granted to share the information further without prior discussion and approval by EMR.
The response here follows the format of the letter of 01 December 2020.
Clarifying Question/Query 1
So that we can understand the cost build-up for each of the services set out in the draft Depot Access
Agreement (DAA), please provide us with Abellio East Midlands’ (AEM) assumptions in respect of:
a) direct hourly rate i.e. hourly rate for operational and engineering staff (technicians, assistants, depot
drivers, shunters);
b) time assumed for each ‘job’ (i.e. exam labour); and
c) materials
AEM directs the recipient to the supporting file EMR NL Depot pricing overview – ORR response 08.12.20
Clarifying question 1
Clarifying Question/Query 2
Both Hitachi and ORR note that two elements used to build up AEM’s costs are AEM overheads and
depot overheads. Please provide more detail on how AEM’s overheads and depot overheads are
calculated and then apportioned by AEM in accordance with depot usage by AEM and by its
beneficiaries (including Hitachi).
