BUSINESS RUNS
ON RAIL
Only 2.5% of total transport emissions come from rail 11% of total miles travelled in the UK are made by rail
DESTINATION: a carbon free railway
Rail only accounts for 0.6% of the UK total emissions
UK’s target of ‘net zero’ greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Rail is a low-carbon form of transport The railway is already helping to reduce emissions and fight climate change Rail is already a low-carbon form of transport – it only accounts for 2.5% of total transport emissions and about 0.6% of the UK total. Carbon emissions per passenger km have been cut by nearly 30% since 2005 – with rail’s strong environmental performance helping to reduce UK carbon emissions by up to 7.7 million tonnes every year. Every freight train means up to 76 fewer HGVs on the road – with one tonne of freight travelling by rail emitting 76% less CO2 than if it travelled by road. 8,000 new greener carriages are being introduced – equivalent to replacing half the existing fleet old for new. Rail is inherently energy efficient – once a train has accelerated, it needs relatively little additional energy to maintain its speed and technology now allows energy to be captured when electric trains brake.
RAIL IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST FORMS OF TRANSPORT AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE The public private partnership that runs the railway has a major role to play in meeting the key challenges facing the UK in the years ahead. One of the most crucial of these is tackling climate change and helping the UK meet its legally binding target of ‘net zero’ greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The industry is working to reduce emissions further, but we need to go further and faster. That is why over the coming years the industry wants to see more of the network electrified and new battery and hydrogen technology exploited in order to take diesel- only trains off the network. This will help the UK meet its emissions targets and ensure a cleaner, greener world for generations.
SETTING A FRAMEWORK FOR CHANGE The route to achieving a carbon-free railway is a real challenge, especially on a network that was designed in the Victorian age. To make it happen, the railway needs certainty and the right frameworks so that it can plan and take the necessary long-term decisions now. To do this, the industry is recommending the following: A commitment by Government to a rolling programme of electrification – this would help build-up skills and capability within the industry, reducing the costs of future electrification schemes so they are more in line with comparable projects in Europe. A new independent organising body to join-up the industry – the Williams Review should recommend the creation of such a body to co- ordinate work on de-carbonisation across the industry and ensure that operators have the right incentives to deliver this change. Targets that reflect the challenges the industry face – we are calling on the Government to develop realistic carbon reduction targets that enable the industry to deliver the step-change to deliver the net zero carbon target by 2050.
OVERVIEW OF THE GB RAIL INDUSTRY National Rail journeys have more than doubled since privatisation. 1.72 billion rail journeys per year or 4.7m journeys per day. Highest infrastructure investment in Europe – £11.6 billion on 5,700 new train carriages by 2021. Feel secure when travelling by train, with more than 33,000 cameras covering stations and trains around the country. Rail is becoming an even greener way to travel, CO2 emissions per passenger operator have decreased to 36.6g per passenger km (10.3% lower than in 2017-2018). Improving customer satisfaction score (83% overall journey) and punctuality rate (77% passenger satisfaction with punctuality). 97p in every £1 spent goes back into running and improving the railway. Smaller profit than in most sectors in the UK. https://dataportal.orr.gov.uk/statistics/compendia/rail-industry-key-statistics/

TRAIN OPERATING COMPANY OVERVIEW SUSTAINABILITY As an electric traction fleet, the trains which are powered without burning fossil fuels are already amongst the lowest carbon modes of transport to travel throughout the region and have been for over 100 years. Since 2013, Merseyrail have reduced their stations overall electricity use by 19% through a combination of employee engagement programmes as well as technology enhancements. LED lighting and smart controls are being rolled out to stations where a 30% reduction in electricity consumption has been achieved at these locations. FLEET With a wide range of new customer-focused features and functions new, state-of-the-art trains will transform travel. The trains are being built and maintained by Swiss-based manufacturer, Stadler, and will replace the near 40-year-old fleet that currently runs on the network. The new trains will be safer – most notably in the ease in which everyone can get on and off, with step-free access thanks to a sliding step. It will make Merseyrail the most accessible, traditional network in the country. The trains will be able to carry 50% more passengers while retaining the same number of seats. This will help them better cater for rising passenger numbers, both now and in the future. The new trains will have more space for bikes, buggies, disabled passengers and luggage; intelligent air conditioning; a bright, open and airy saloon, and a mix of seating types, keeping some of the ‘sociable’ facing seats. INNOVATION Ainsdale station is the most eco and environmental station on the network. The station was designed with sustainability at its heart with a multitude of green features including rainwater harvesting system to feed the toilets, thermal insulation levels exceeding standards, canopy overhangs over the highly glazed areas to reduce overheating and the need for artificial cooling, concourse areas are highly glazed to decrease the dependence on artificial lighting, all lighting is LED low energy, 30m2 of solar panels - which will provide energy for the majority of the station reducing significantly the use of a mains supply. In addition, Merseyrail have provided a dedicated local base for the Merseyside Police to occupy providing a valuable customer service. STANDARD CLASS vs FIRST CLASS There is no First Class on Merseyrail but Corporate Season Tickets are available for regular travel.
TRAIN OPERATING COMPANY OVERVIEW SUSTAINABILITY Scotland’s vision is to have carbon neutral railway by 2035. This will be achieved by a Rolling Programme for Electrification and the introduction of technological advancements that allows trains to be in service or adapted to run on alternative fuels and batteries. The network will be boosted with direct-wire connected renewable energy generation. Stations and depots are working towards net zero carbon, utilising the latest technologies and innovations to reduce grid energy demand. FLEET Class385 trains are delivering a 60% reduction in carbon emissions Edinburgh to Glasgow route. These trains are faster, longer, quieter and more environmentally friendly than the diesel trains that they have typically replaced. The installation of the Driver Advisory System (DAS) to High Speed (HST) Intercity trains will be extended in 2020 to seek to reduce diesel usage by up to 5%. DAS uses Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) to compare the train’s current position along with the next required stopping point. DAS will then calculate the most efficient way of getting from A to B and advise the driver of this. INNOVATION Innospec developed a fuel additive designed to return the engine to a ‘like new’ condition which results in lower emissions, improved engine performance and fuel economy. The MTU183TD engine from a class 170 and a Cummins NT855 engine from class 158 were sent to Millbrook Leyland’s test facility. The engines were mounted to a dynamometer and tested with and without EcoClean alongside clean and dirty injectors. Cycle F of ISO 8178 (International standard for exhaust emissions measurement for non-road engine applications) was used as this was a close fit to the real-world operation of the engines. A weighted average was calculated based on volume used per engine type. The resultant fuel saving was 3.06% which leads to annual reductions of CO2e by 4,578 tonnes, methane reduction of 4.8 tonnes and nitrous oxides by 51 tons. The additive will be introduced to the diesel fleets in 2020. ADDED VALUE A Flexipass lets you make 10 journeys on the same route within one month. Travel anytime and save money compared to buying single or return tickets. STANDARD CLASS vs FIRST CLASS First Class available on Glasgow-Edinburgh Express trains and Inter7City trains. Glasgow-Edinburgh route upgrade for £5 per journey. Extra space and comfort, plug sockets at every seat, free drinks and snacks, fully flexible ticket options, on board newspapers.
TRAIN OPERATING COMPANY OVERVIEW SUSTAINABILITY Ongoing work on sustainable development strategy. Installation of LED lighting on platforms and carparks. Installation of Wireless Energy Management systems on domestic supplies reducing energy used. Installation of free water fountains across the estate reducing the need for plastic bottles. Continue to recycle more waste with aspiration and target for zero waste to landfill. Continuing with our ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 accreditation. FLEET New fleet are more energy efficient than the fleet that they will have replaced with more seats which mean than technically a low CO2 /passenger Km will be reached. Entire fleet of 1,043 carriages to be replaced with new trains during the franchise. See here for more detailed information, images and seating layouts https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/newtrains. INNOVATION Engaging with the carbon trust to work together and develop a road map and strategy on how we may set environmental based targets and reduce carbon emissions by the end of the franchise. ADDED VALUE More spacious trains, better timetable and more frequent services into London. STANDARD CLASS vs FIRST CLASS Comfortable seats with tables for efficient working during train journey, free WIFI and charging sockets near every seat, refreshments on board. Weekend upgrades for £10. Note some services use commuter type trains where First Class is not available. Check https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/travel-information/your-journey/first-class for more detail.
TRAIN OPERATING COMPANY OVERVIEW SUSTAINABILITY WMT is verified against ISO14064-1 Greenhouse Gases standard and is reporting emissions fully, this also allows visibility of areas of high emissions that can be targeted for reductions such as heating systems and traction diesel. Both of these are already being targeted with introduction of AdBlue and Automatic Heating Systems across the WMT property network. The DMU operate to the latest emissions standards and include the use of Ad-Blu to support this. FLEET Introduction of Class 196 trains due for 2020. Introduction of Integrated-Driver Advisory Systems across the fleet to assist in green driving and make reductions to fuel consumption.
