Dear Mark and Louise
Approval of the 34th supplemental agreement to the track access
contract between Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (Network Rail) and
Hull Trains Company Limited (trading as Hull Trains) dated 17 March 2016
We have today approved the above supplemental agreement submitted to us formally on 9
June 2025 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.
The purpose of this agreement is to allow Hull Trains to reinstate an additional calling point
at Stevenage within table 4.1 of its track access contract with a contingent right that was
removed accidently when the contract was renewed in 2016. The accompanying footnote
will be updated to reflect the current use of the stop which is 2 southbound calls (set down
only) and 1 northbound call (pick-up only) on Sundays only and will commence on
approval and cease at the Principal Change Date in December 2025.
Background
The Stevenage calling point was originally added in 2009 but accidentally removed from
the contract on its renewal in 2016. Hull Trains has continued to call at Stevenage since
2016 (9 years) and this has been part of its timetable bid process since, as well as being in
the December 2025 bid. Hull Trains had thought that the additional call at Stevenage was
covered by Schedule 2, but this was found not to be the case, so it is now seeking to
reinstate this into table 4.1. Once the error was discovered, a General Approval (33rd GA)
was issued that covers this missing stop for 90 days on a contingent right basis only and
ceases on the 16 June 2025.
