SUMMARY:Rail Investment | Getting Back on Track
DESCRIPTION:Event Chair Rt Hon Norman Baker\n\n\n09:30\n\nOpen and Networking\n\n\n10:00\nDarren Caplan Chief Executive\, Railway Industry Association \n\nHow\, since March 2020\, rail has proved itself to be an essential service\, transporting key workers and freight around the UK during Coronavirus lockdown and restrictions;\n Why we shouldn’t base current rail funding on unsubstantiated forecasts of future passenger numbers and work patterns\, given historically crises like pandemics and recessions have little effect on the long-term transport growth trend;\nand Why the UK Treasury should continue to invest significantly in rail\, given it helps deliver the Government’s ambition of a growing\, sustainable\, levelling-up\, post-Coronavirus economic recovery.\n\n\n\n\n10:15\nStrategic Partner* \n\n\n10:30 \nLeaders Debate 1 – Supplier Collaboration is Key to Success\nHosted by David Hawkins Chief Operating Officer\, Institute for Collaborative Working\n\n\n\n\n\nClive Berrington Group Commercial & Procurement Director\, Network Rail \nIndustry Partner* \nKate Jennings Policy Director\, Railway Industry Association \n\nWhat effective supplier engagement means;\nWhen supplier engagement is important;\nWhen Government and industry should choose to ‘make or buy’ and how we play to the strengths of the industry and Government;\nWhy supplier engagement matters;\nHow – what tools do we have – including opportunities presented by the Construction Playbook and procurement green paper?  What are the priorities?\n\n\n\n\n\n \nLeaders Debate 2 – What are the Opportunities After Franchising?\nHosted by Rob Brighouse Chairman\, East West Rail\n\n\n\n\n\nRichard McClean Managing Director\, Grand Central Railway \n\nPost-Franchising will also be post-COVID. The trauma of the failure of the Franchising system and the management of the impacts of COVID have shown that the allocation of revenue and cost risk between taxpayer and Operators is a key design factor to be addressed in any new commercial architecture for the rail industry.\nA key lesson learnt from the progressive failure of the Franchising system has been the inability to coordinate strategic planning across Infrastructure capability\, Franchise Specifications and market requirements. How can the essential alignment required be secured in the post-Franchising world?\nA key design aim of the arrangements being developed for the post-Franchise world is an improved and more direct relationship between local stakeholders and the relevant contracted Operators. This has been achieved by TfL with its two London Concessions and it is being embedded in Scotland and Wales. How can similar beneficial relationships be enabled in England given the challenges of non-correlated geographies across markets\, political representation and service provision? In addition\, if we “follow the money” there is no local structures in place as all funding in England is DfT controlled.\nIf the reforms of the Franchising model are focused on addressing the arrangements for delivering non-commercial public or social service related train operations at an affordable cost\, what model is appropriate for commercial Intercity train operations? What lessons can UK learn from mainland Europe in this area.\n\nIndustry Partner* \nCatherine Williams Deputy Director\, Railway Markets and Economics at ORR \n\n\n\n\n\nLeaders Debate 3 – Funding the Investment\nHosted by Rt Hon Norman Baker\n\n\n\n\n\nMaggie Simpson Director General\, Rail Freight Group \n\nAs the structure of the railways is reformed\, how do we create an environment in which private sector investment can flourish?\nWhat is the right mix of public and private investment for the railways?\nHow can public and private investment support Government’s wider economic ambitions?\nHow can we fund investment to decarbonise the railways?\n\nIndustry Partner*  \nTolu Osekita\, Lead Third Party Funding\, Network Rail \nTim Wood Northern Powerhouse Rail Director\, Transport for the North \n\nCould Northern Powerhouse Rail break the mould and let in an new era of private finance to drive Station builds?\nHow can we make sure that a pipeline is just that\, a clear view into the future of funded railway schemes that business decisions within the supply chain can understand in the Boardroom of decision makers?\nHow do we as an industry play our part in providing confidence to Government and HMT that we can deliver consistently to Programme and Cost?\nHow do we drive Freight company ambitions to run more trains while still providing for an increase in passengers numbers over the next 2 decades?\n\n\n\n\n\n10:55\nBreak and Networking\n\n\n11:25\nChris Heaton-Harris Rail Minister\, Department for Transport\n\n\n11:40\nAndrew Haines Chief Executive\, Network Rail \n\n  \n\nThe UK railway has a rich history of innovation and pioneering new technologies and the importance of building on this history;\nHow investing into new and emerging technologies that will deliver more for passengers and freight;\nThe efficiencies that can be made by investing in the right technologies as well as the role the railway has to play in supporting the national recovery from the pandemic.\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n11:55\nMark Phillips Chief Executive Officer\, Rail Safety and Standards Board\n\n\n12:10\nStrategic Partner Caroline Donaldson Managing Director West Coast Partnership Development \n\n\n12:25\n\nBreak and Networking\n\n\n12:55\nDavid Hughes Director General\, Rail Infrastructure\, Department for Transport\n\n\n13:10\n\nInnovation Room 1\n\n\n\nInnovation Room 2\n\n\n\nInnovation Room 3\n\n\n13:35\nTim Wood Northern Powerhouse Rail Director\, Transport for the North \n\nNorthern Powerhouse Rail\, the re-phasing of the Strategic Outline Case and the route to spades in the ground by mid 2020’s\n\n\n\n\n13:50\nPaul Harwood Investment Director Southern Region\, Network Rail\n\n\n14:05\n\nFinal Remarks and Networking
