TfN: Full timetable will not be reinstated in May 2021
From TfN: As seen in timetable uplifts this year, there is a relationship between increased levels of service and reduced network performance and several operator plans for May 2021 have been identified as potential risks to network performance including TPE. TPE had been working on plans to return to a full service, with further service increases in line with their franchise agreement. To maintain the current high levels of performance it has been proposed to continue with the December 2020 level of service, with some minor amendments where necessary to improve performance further and match passenger demand. The System Operator (part of Network Rail) will work with TPE to identify how the slots not proposed to be used might be retained to facilitate driver training or reinstate services later in the timetable period should circumstances require it. Northern plan to re-instate further services from May 2021, building on the December 2020 uplift from 89% to 92% of full-service provision. However, several services will remain suspended due to predicted levels of resource shortfalls. Details of the service uplifts and remaining service suspensions have been shared with lead officers as part of the North of England Contingency Group. Building on the experience of this summer, this plan has been optimised in order to provide the capacity and frequency for customers where it is needed most and a reliable/punctual railway. https://democracy.transportforthenorth.c...Issues.pdf |
