Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years of European reforms have not (yet) produced the railway market that was initially dreamt of. Competition remains limited. This paper looks at one element of regulation, charges for the use of railway infrastructure and other upstream services. In order to allow competition in rail transport services, access to infrastructure is subject to specific European Union (hereafter, "EU") capacity allocation and pricing rules as of 1995, transposed in the respective national laws. But in 2010, the Commission observed that "[t]he development of the railway sector and its capacity to compete viably with other modes of transport are still hampered by serious problems related [among others] to (a) inadequate financing and pricing of the infrastructure". This paper seeks to identify potential causes of why charging schemes have not (yet) been able to improve the railways' share. After having delineated the scope of the analysis, namely the tariffs of upstream railway services (1), this paper describes the EU rules that are applicable to those tariffs (2). That description is then subject to an evaluation of the achievement of the objectives pursued by charging schemes, through some examples (3), before this paper proposes the way forward (4). A short conclusion is provided summarising the main findings and recommendations (5).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Command Paper sets out the Government's vision and policies for the railways. Applying to England and Wales, the Government seeks to work with the rail industry and others to secure significant reductions in the railway's cost base, while at the same time improving the railway for passengers and freight customers. The Government sees railway reform as delivering four objectives: (1) Securing value for the passenger and addressing concerns about rail fares; (2) Dealing with the fiscal deficit; (3) Supporting economic growth, through continued taxpayer investment for passengers and freight; (4) Delivering environmental goals, by reducing carbon emissions. The Command Paper also considers the finding and recommendations set out in Sir Roy McNulty's independent "Realising the Potential of GB Rail: Report of the Rail Value for Money Study" (available from the DfT here - http://www.dft.gov.uk/publications/realising-the-potential-of-gb-rail/). The publication is divided into six chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: A better deal for passengers; Chapter 3: A more strategic role for Government; Chapter 4: A more efficient industry; Chapter 5: Better information; Chapter 6: Implementing rail reform.
