Dear Sue
Appeal under Regulation 32 of The Railways (Access, Management
and Licensing of Railway Undertakings) Regulations 2016 by Virgin
Management Limited
I am writing to advise you that we have received an appeal under Regulation 32 of
The Railways (Access Management and Licensing of Railway Undertakings)
Regulations 2016 (“the 2016 Regulations) made by Virgin Management Limited
(“Virgin”) on 26 February 2025 in relation to the allocation process for infrastructure
capacity and its result.
Enclosed is a copy of the appeal and, in accordance with the process described in
chapter 5 of our published guidance on the 2016 Regulations, I invite First Trenitalia
West Coast Rail Limited, as a relevant part to this appeal, to make written
representations in respect of it by 11 April 2025. Your representations will be copied
to Virgin and will need to be in a format that can be published on our website.
As set out in our guidance, in considering any request for non-disclosure, we
generally apply the test set out in section 71(2) of the Railways Act 1993. That test
requires us to have regard to the need for excluding from publication, so far as that is
practicable, any matter which relates to the affairs of an individual or specifically to
the affairs of a particular body where publication of that matter would or might “…in
the opinion of [ORR], seriously and prejudicially affect the interests...” of that
individual or body. If you believe that any information in your representations should
be excluded you will need to explain how this meets the criteria under section 71(2)
of the Railways Act 1993.
We have also asked Network Rail Infrastructure Limited for written representations in
respect of this appeal.
Your response to this letter and any further communication regarding this appeal
should be sent to and track.access@orr.gov.uk.
