Open access

Wrexham, Shropshire and Midlands Railway and Hull Trains have both written letters outlining their frustrations as part of the track access application process.

More than a dozen new routes are planned by open access operators.

Open access operator hopes to start services in December 2027.

It’s said that there are two versions of events, and in the middle - the truth.

Report commissioned by public sector said open access could abstract more than £1bn in revenue over next decade.

Newspaper report had suggested Transport Secretary could reverse decisions deemed to be “at the expense of the taxpayer”.

Open access operator wants to follow CrossCountry's route between Newcastle and Reading.

Infrastructure owner highlights several issues with all three with capacity being a key area of concern.

New report suggests an average of £100 of revenue a year will be abstracted from state-run operator up until 2035.

Group of MPs serving communities along the route put their names to a letter supporting the plan.
