Dear Sophie and Lee,
Approval of the 35th supplemental agreement to the track access
contract between Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (Network Rail) and
XC Trains Limited (trading as CrossCountry) dated 8 August 2017.
We have today approved the above supplemental agreement submitted to us formally on
29 November 2024 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.
Purpose
This supplemental agreement (SA) has two purposes:
To provide contingent rights for two services, running between Cardiff Central and
Bristol Temple Meads on Saturdays, and between Bristol Temple Meads and Cardiff
Central on Sundays. These additional services are to balance a need for
CrossCountry to reduce travel for its train staff, improve maintenance for its Class
170 units and provide a passenger benefit for customers who have attended evening
events at Cardiff Principality Stadium. The new rights are to commence on the
Principal Change Date (PCD) in December 2024 and will expire on the Subsidiary
Change Date (SCD) in May 2025.
To update Table 2.1 of Schedule 5 by showing ‘via Bristol Parkway’ for path 2.3c in
Service Group EH02. This is not a change but has been added to illustrate the
