 The 20 Year Plan for the SW Peninsula Rail Network Philip Heseltine Head of Transport, Infrastructure and Investment, Plymouth City Council On behalf of the Peninsula Rail Task Force

Who is the Task Force? The Peninsula Rail Task Force is a strategic group  Local Authority : Cornwall Council, Devon County Council, Plymouth City Council, Somerset County Council, Torbay Council  Economic : LEPs  Heart of the South West  Cornwall & Isles of Scilly  Partners / Stakeholders: Stakeholder Advisory Group  Business, networks and associations, Community Rail Partnerships, Train Operating Companies, special interest groups

3 Point Plan Priorities A railway that is:  Resilient and reliable  With faster journey times and better connectivity  With sufficient capacity and comfort

Our biggest stakeholder!

Enabling growth  SW economy worth £36bn – larger than Merseyside, Leeds and Sheffield  2.2m people, 98,000 businesses and 1.1m jobs  Our productivity is 72.9% of national average  1 in 5 households in Devon rely on public transport  For every 100 mins journey time from London, productivity falls by 6%  Rail growth is 128% over the last 21 years, twice the UK average

Enabling growth potential Connectivity is key  Growth from connectivity to other key projects, eg HS2, Heathrow Western Extension, Crossrail as well as air and sea  Bristol and Devon Metro scope to improve and link  45min REDUCTION would add £1bn / year to SW economy > Plymouth 2hrs 15, Truro 3hrs 30 (not c3h40 / c 5hrs)

Emerging issues  Emphasis is on rail as an enabler  Sequencing is key – working with partners to achieve best outcome  Concern that we take people with us – not dominated by single issue or location  Competition within the region for other investment  Resources – competition elsewhere

Briefing Westminster

Today’s obstacles  Still awaiting considerable volumes of information  Timing –  Political : Ministerial changes  Process: DfT and NR timescales  Resources

Updates  East of Exeter Resilience  Resilience studies of the seawall and cliffs between Exeter and Plymouth  Exeter to Castle Cary GRIP 2 study  Exeter to London Waterloo 2 nd strategic route  The Northern Route  Line speed improvements  Part 1  Part 2 (including electrification)  Part 3  Economic case  Dawlish Additional Line

East Of Exeter outputs  Cost to rail industry £35m due to flooding in Western area  Studies identified that large parts of the same areas are susceptible to flooding  5 key action areas as part of plan, 3 complete, and 2 in the development stage, planned for CP 5 delivery.  The risk has been reduced (1:50 years)

Resilience studies between Exeter and Plymouth  Study carried out in 2014 showed poor economic case for additional line  Network Rail are currently undertaking a GRIP 2 study, with an additional £5m provided by Government to allow this to continue in CP5.  Network Rail will consult on this as a separate scheme

Exeter to Castle Cary Capacity and Diversionary route study  GRIP 2 study nearing completion to allow capacity for diversionary route and increases to services  4 options identified for taking forward following stakeholder workshop.  Lowest Cost  Clock-face  Enhanced performance  Greatest Flexibility

Exeter to London Waterloo 2nd strategic route  PRTF continue to work with partners in Wiltshire, Dorset and their LEP’s to develop a plan for improving services  Major’s funding bid has been made to allow the next stage of option development

The Northern Route  Study showed that insufficient patronage existed along the route including planned housing. (25,000 new homes would be needed to fill this short fall)  Route has BCR of less than 1, but this does not take into account diversionary benefits.  Route can be split into 3 sections to aid local delivery

Line speed improvements  Part 2  Early indications are that 11 min saving to Plymouth will cost £1.5bn, with 26 mins at c£4.8bn  Part 3  NR are working up the scenario to close the gap between part 2 and the PRTF journey time aspirations

Economic case  Journey time improvements  Pad – Pnz 60 minutes = GVA £1.23b  Diversionary route = £324m direct benefits  Wat – Exd = £239m direct benefits  100 minutes from London costs 6% in productivity  South West region GVA is £22k, nationally GVA is £24.5k

Dawlish Additional Line  The study indicates that additional capacity can be provided over the next 20 years with interventions on the current alignment.  Growth rates of c5.7% are twice that being used by the rail industry to plan for the future meaning an estimated difference of years.  The coastal route closures will escalate due to meteorological trends, with it suggested that it will be up to 40 days a year by 2040 if no action is taken.

Next steps  Identification of all wider Economic Benefits – focus on more than just the route  Alignment with wider industry investment plans  Development of the sequential programme  Consultation – evaluation underway  MP briefings are planned

For further information  Full details of the work being undertaken and all reports are available on the PRTF website for download and comment.  The consultation documents are available on the following specific links;  The 20 year plan: doc-20-year-plan-consultation-draft-v pdfhttps://peninsularailtaskforce.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/rail- doc-20-year-plan-consultation-draft-v pdf  Work streams : stream-summary-consultation-draft-v clean-copy.pdfhttps://peninsularailtaskforce.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/work- stream-summary-consultation-draft-v clean-copy.pdf
