Dear Lysette and Kate
57th Supplemental Agreement to the Track Access Contract between
Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (Network Rail) and Northern Trains
Limited (trading as Northern) dated 3 March 2016
Today we issued directions under section 22A of the Railways Act 1993 (the Act) to
Network Rail and Northern (jointly the ‘parties’) to enter into the above supplemental
agreement. The approval of this application will ensure continuity of service for
passengers using the local service between Leeds and Huddersfield and will give the train
operator certainty for the purposes of planning its business. This letter explains the
reasons for our decision.
Application
The purpose of this supplemental agreement is to grant Northern the rights necessary to
operate part of a local stopping service between Leeds and Huddersfield. This service was
previously operated solely by TransPennine Trains (TPT), which has now surrendered the
relevant rights. Northern applied to operate these rights instead, so that the total quantum
of rights remains unchanged, and operation of the services is now shared between the two
operators. Given this surrender of and application for the same rights takes place between
