The document raises several criticisms of the HS2 high-speed rail project in the UK. It argues that most of the jobs and economic benefits will go to London rather than other areas like the West Midlands. It also claims that alternatives proposed would meet travel demand at less cost and without requiring subsidies, and that much of HS2's claimed travel time savings assume people do not work on existing trains. The document questions whether HS2 is truly important for British businesses since so few responded to a national consultation.

Rail Investment Opportunities in the UK
This document discusses rail investment opportunities in the UK. While rail has struggled with a poor reputation due to past failures and disasters, the freight sector has experienced strong growth attracting over £1.5 billion in private investment. Rail is becoming increasingly competitive compared to road transport due to rising costs, congestion and safety issues of lorries. Many major companies are investing in rail to transport goods. However, the largest barrier remains the availability of rail terminals, which are needed to load and unload freight for further shipment. Modern, large distribution hubs with rail access and storage have emerged as strategically important facilities.
Railway Transport
This document discusses the classification and advantages and disadvantages of railway transportation in India. It classifies Indian railway lines into three types: trunk routes, main lines, and branch lines, based on route, traffic volume, and maximum speed. The advantages of rail transport include reliability, organization, high speed over long distances, and suitability for transporting heavy goods. The disadvantages are large capital costs, lack of flexibility, lack of door-to-door service, and potential for monopoly.
IWT by numbers
Inland waterways transport accounts for 6.3% of freight volume in the EU, with some countries that have extensive waterway infrastructure having higher shares. Some of Europe's largest seaports use inland waterways to transport freight due to increasing congestion and lack of rail capacity, with 70% of EU trade going through seaports. The availability of waterways provides a competitive advantage, such as avoiding 100,000 truck movements daily in Rotterdam. Investing in inland waterway infrastructure can help absorb major freight flows between seaports and inland economic centers, making road traffic less congested and providing an efficient transportation option.
Platina F&F general
Inland waterways provide an efficient mode of transport in Europe, with over 40,000 km of navigable rivers and canals. Inland ships emit far less carbon dioxide and use less fuel per tonne-km than trucks. Waterborne transport plays an important economic role, creating over 40,000 jobs and carrying around 500,000 tonnes of goods annually in the EU. Investments are being made to further develop waterway infrastructure and integrate inland shipping into multimodal transport networks to realize its potential for reducing emissions and congestion.
Bringing HSR a step closer: Building a Railway for the 21st Century
This paper explores an incremental approach to providing a Medium Speed Rail (MSR) network with trains operating up to 200km/h. This will allow progressive enhancements toward a HSR solution rather than the currently recommended ‘big bang’ approach. The paper identifies changes required to produce a healthy intercity rail network to complement a successful HSR network using the Sydney-Canberra corridor as a case study.
SmartRivers Final Report
The document summarizes key findings from the SmartRivers 2006 international conference on inland waterways and the global supply chain. It finds that integrating waterways can cut landside transportation costs and that container-on-barge services in Europe have become an essential link between ports and inland markets. However, waterways still only account for 6-7% of goods transported in Europe. The document outlines the major waterways in Europe and factors for the successful development of container-on-barge services, such as reliable schedules and a large international gateway port.

1) Several schemes have been introduced in Glasgow, Scotland to reduce traffic problems, including building motorways and bridges in the 1960s-1970s to improve access to the city centre, and more recently extending the M74 motorway.
2) Public transportation has also been upgraded, with railway stations modernized and the Glasgow subway expanded. Park and ride schemes have been added.
3) Within the city centre, a one-way system and banning cars from streets like George Square have helped traffic flow, while pedestrianizing streets and adding parking charges encourage public transit use.
BRT Power point - Summer 2009 PWPT
The document discusses congestion issues in New York City and proposes implementing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on the Queensboro Bridge. It notes that congestion in NYC has increased significantly since the 1980s. It then examines various alternatives to address congestion before focusing on BRT. The proposal is to convert the existing HOV lanes on the bridge to exclusive BRT use to provide faster transit and reduce vehicle traffic. Potential benefits include lower travel times and emissions as well as increased revenue for public transit systems.

Chris Irwin - Transport
This document summarizes transportation issues facing the South West region of the UK. It notes that the South West has the slowest urban traffic, highest intercity rail fares in Europe, oldest rail fleet and most life-expired main line, worst access to buses in Great Britain, highest private car usage, and lowest government spending per head on transportation of any UK region. It also states that the recent government spending review provided many transportation improvements for other regions of the UK but very little for the South West, threatening further reductions to bus services and larger fare increases while they still await decisions on rail electrification and new trains. It calls for one last push for electrification funding, long term planning, speaking with one voice, and lever
3. transpo system overview
This document provides an overview of the major modes of transportation available to logistics managers: rail, motor, water, pipeline, and air. It discusses the characteristics of each mode in terms of cost, transit time, reliability, capability, and accessibility. Rail transportation has the capability to carry a wide variety of products but limited accessibility. Motor carriers have high accessibility but higher costs than rail and water. Water transportation has relatively low costs but long transit times. Air transportation has the fastest transit times but highest costs. Pipelines are only suitable for transporting oil. The document also discusses intermodal transportation and provides a table rating each mode across various selection determinants.

The document discusses dry ports, which are inland intermodal terminals connected by rail to seaports. Dry ports aim to increase seaport capacity and reduce congestion by providing seaport services inland. The benefits of dry ports are outlined for various stakeholders, including reduced environmental impact and costs for shippers. Examples of dry ports in different locations are provided, along with challenges to dry port development like regulations, land use, and infrastructure constraints. Simulation results show dry ports can reduce queues, travel times and CO2 emissions by shifting freight transport from road to rail. The conclusion states dry ports require supportive infrastructure and policies across public and private sectors to optimize involvement.

Crossrail 2 - Planning for the Future
Guest presentation by Dr Michele Dix, Managing Director of Crossrail 2 (crossrail2.co.uk). Presented at the Institute for Transport Studies (ITS), University of Leeds, Feb. 2016.
[Copyright TfL, reproduced here with permission].
TFL Presentation
The document discusses transport challenges and priorities for east and south east London. It notes that London's population is growing rapidly and will require major investments in transport infrastructure to support the growth. This includes projects like Crossrail, upgrades to the DLR and Overground networks, and new river crossings like the planned Silvertown Tunnel to alleviate congestion and improve connectivity. Future transport priorities could involve extending the Bakerloo line, further DLR extensions, and new river crossings like Gallions Reach and Belvedere to connect communities across the Thames. Major funding and approvals will be required to transform London's transport network and accommodate the rising population.
South East Route - Sussex Area Route Study FINAL
This document provides a route study for the Sussex area railway network covering the period until 2043. It analyzes current and future passenger demand and capacity needs, outlines options to accommodate expected growth, and prioritizes investments for the 2019-2024 control period. The study area contains dense suburban rail services into London and experiences high passenger volumes at key nodes like Croydon. Future options aim to improve performance and meet capacity challenges while staying affordable. Public consultation helped refine the final recommendations.
Abstract
The demand on London's transportation network is expected to increase by over 80% in the next 30 years. Transport for London commissioned the construction of Crossrail, a new east-west train line connecting Reading and Heathrow in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east, at a cost of £14.8 billion. Custom House Crossrail station will be a newly constructed above-ground station in Newham providing access to the ExCel centre, London City Airport, and the surrounding area. The station will comprise over 700 piles forming the track slabs and station building foundations. This report aims to assess the viability of creating a detailed geotechnical model to inform pile design using data from borings, piling rig
GTR 2018 Timetable Proposals
The document discusses proposals for updating the GTR (Govia Thameslink Railway) timetable in 2018. Key points include:
- The timetable update is part of the larger Thameslink Programme which involves new trains, infrastructure upgrades, and expanded capacity.
- An early consultation process is being conducted from September to December 2016 and again in 2017 to gather public input on the new timetable.
- Proposals include simplifying routes, improving some journey times, and protecting important existing journeys. The changes address weaknesses in the current network structure.
Challenging The Case For HS2, June 2011
The document summarizes arguments against the HS2 high-speed rail project in the UK. It argues that [1] the case for HS2 is based on inflated benefits and underestimated costs, ignoring factors like competition, environmental impacts, and potential alternatives. It also claims that [2] high-speed rail projects often fail to meet ridership and cost projections elsewhere in the world. And [3] the huge costs of HS2 could be better spent on improving existing rail lines and services.
PlaceEXPO: City Region Investment Strategies: High Speed 2
Duncan Sutherland, non-executive board member, HS2, on opportunities created for city development by the new high-speed line
Position paper
This document proposes introducing competition to long distance passenger rail in the UK to improve service and lower costs. It argues competition between multiple operators on the same routes would lead to lower fares, more services, service quality improvements, and more ridership while increasing total industry revenue. The proposal is to have at least two train operating companies running alternating services on all long distance routes, using "Pure Market Pricing" to set fares dynamically based on demand to appeal to more customers. Evidence from other countries that implemented rail competition shows lower average fares, more trains, and increased ridership and revenue for the rail industry.
Rehabilitation of disused railways
The document discusses a proposal by the Campaign for Better Transport to reopen 33 railway lines and 72 stations in the UK as part of a £6.3 billion redevelopment program. The program is estimated to add 20 million passengers annually to the rail network and generate £245 million per year for the economy. It would also create or safeguard up to 8,150 jobs in construction, engineering, and railway operations. The report argues this expansion could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 37% through improved rail transport.
Oldham metrolink
The documents discuss plans to extend the Oldham Metrolink tram system to better connect Oldham and Rochdale town centers. A £1.5 billion fund was approved in 2009 for transport projects in Greater Manchester, including extending the Metrolink. Work began on converting an old railway line into the new Metrolink route. The extension will have stops in Oldham town center at Westwood, King Street, Union Street and Oldham Mumps. However, part of the initial route between Featherstall Road and Mumps will be removed once the new town center section opens in 2014 to allow for a new bus and tram interchange to be built.

Analysis of Business Case for HS2 - May 2013
This document summarizes arguments against the proposed HS2 high-speed rail project in the UK. It argues that HS2 is not good value for money based on a flawed cost-benefit analysis that exaggerates benefits and underestimates costs. It also argues that there are viable capacity alternatives to HS2 on existing lines, and that HS2 will not meaningfully reduce regional economic imbalances or domestic air travel as claimed. In summary, the document asserts that HS2 is a waste of public money and not the right priority based on overstated benefits, underestimated costs, and availability of better alternatives.
Gatwick Vision Report
The document discusses the need for additional airport capacity in London and proposes a vision of three competing major London airports, each with two runways, to address future demand. Key points include:
- London will need a new runway by the mid-2020s to maintain its global connectivity as air travel demand increases.
- Having three competing airports would provide more passenger choice, better service, lower fares, and greater resilience compared to expanding a single dominant airport.
- The document proposes that Gatwick airport builds the next runway to realize this vision, which would meet capacity needs for decades in an environmentally-friendly and affordable manner.
Doha Metro - Fact Sheets
The Doha Metro will have 3 lines (Red, Green, Gold) opening in 2019 with 37 stations. It will revolutionize transportation in Doha, making trips on average 18 minutes faster. The metro will grow along with the city, expanding to over 130km of lines and over 60 additional stations. Each station will reflect Qatari heritage in its design. The Red Line runs 39km from south to north, the Green Line runs 22km east to west, and the Gold Line runs 14km east to west. The Lusail Light Rail will connect the new city of Lusail with 4 lines and 37 stations. Qatar Rail's long-distance passenger and freight rail network will connect major cities and industries

London was originally founded by the Romans in 47 AD as a trading area along a canal. It has since grown to a population of 8.6 million, making it by far the largest city in the United Kingdom. London's transportation system includes trains and iconic double-decker buses. London follows the Harris-Ullman Multiple-Nuclei model of urban spatial structure, with different neighborhoods specializing in various economic functions like commerce, housing, and industry.
east_london_line_reborn (2)
The London Overground East London Line opened a full service from West Croydon to Dalston Junction ahead of schedule. The £1 billion project reinvigorated and expanded the old East London Underground line, reusing Victorian infrastructure and adding new stations and tracks. It created a new 10km rail route connecting 20 London boroughs and is expected to serve over 33 million passengers annually by 2011. The line's completion established an outer orbital railway around London and will improve transport and regeneration in east and southeast London.
HPO Rail Proposition
The UK currently has a national rail infrastructure pipeline worth £88bn. This is the greatest investment in the sector in over a century, and brings with it significant opportunity for investors.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

High Speed Rail 2 - What you should know
- 1. Experts say London gains most. Even HS2 Ltd say 73% of jobs from Phase 1 will be in London not the West Midlands. HS2 needs a £26bn subsidy, yet 51m say their alternative solution, that sweats existing assets, needs none – and fully meets DfT’s long distance demand forecast. HS2 was so important to British business that just 429 out of 4.5 million of them responded to the 2011 national consultation on HS2. HS2 Ltd’s latest business case contains £7.7bn of cuts to existing rail services which help pay for the new line. Virgin trains are only 52% full in the peak and intercity standard class capacity can be tripled – by longer trains, less 1st class and solving pinchpoints on the line. Studies show the UK already has shorter rail journey times between the capital and its five largest cities than other major Western European countries. 89% of HS2’s passengers will transfer from less polluting alternatives to high speed rail (65%) or be new trips (24%) You could build a new Millennium Dome every 6 miles between London and Birmingham for the same cost of constructing Phase1 of HS2. Over 55% of HS2’s claimed benefits come from journey time savings and assume people don’t work on trains. Experts say London gains most.
