This week, together with many other European rail stakeholders, it was a real pleasure to participate in the rail stream at @Trip's global travel conference #Envision2025 in Shanghai 🇨🇳 It's clear @Trip is dedicated to making passenger rail grow, in Europe & around the world

@Ogilvie_CJ Not that old cliche. Where have the railways been held back by slow adoption of new tech and which new tech? I fear GBRX is chasing innovation buzz words.

GBRX: Musk-ify the railways?! “Ministers & union clash in bid for hi-tech rail travel? GBRX will “break the pattern of slow adoption that has held our railways back”, according to comments from Lord (Peter) Hendy, rail minister.” 🆓 ⬇️ thetimes.com/article/58f905…

@Captain_Deltic @SRichardBowker @dominicoc @richardbranson @TimesRadio That's not the view or policy in many countries outside of UK. Also: UK FOCs will not be integrated with infra manager, meaning there's no consistency of policy inside UK. And where does "passenger service" value chain end? - ROSCOs, retailers, even manufacturers? Like in 1920s?

@Captain_Deltic @SRichardBowker @dominicoc @richardbranson @TimesRadio Infrastructure isn't same part of value chain as the operators. It's a natural monopoly & part-subsidised by taxpayer, like Air Traffic Control & road infra. Infra cost is no justification to keep concessions. On the contrary: OA reduces taxpayer burden = more to spend on infra

Cross-border passenger rail is not only about long-distance trains It's a pleasure to finally travel on the 3-country regional rail service between Belgium, the Netherlands & Germany, operated by @Arriva_NL Clean, comfortable and on time: 3 EU Member States in less than 1 hour

@Captain_Deltic @SRichardBowker @dominicoc @richardbranson @TimesRadio Exactly & WCML paid a premium to Exchequer in 2010s. Thus a concession is unjustified, because market can bear it. Change entire thing to Open Access. Not an anomaly: already the case in all German, Swedish & most CZ & Vienna-Salzburg long-distance + French Italian & Spanish HS

@SRichardBowker @Captain_Deltic @dominicoc @richardbranson @TimesRadio If demand is high from Euston, then concessions should justify their right to operate instead. Why subsidise long-distance routes at all, if they can be commercially viable? UK govt has money to waste? In many EU countries, Open Access is default, easily serving societal needs

Zur Wahrheit gehört leider: Es bringt nichts, weiter Steuergeld im Konzern DB AG zu versenken, solange Töchter wie die DB Fernverkehr vom Staat unkontrolliert wurschteln können. Das Geld gehört in die DB InfraGO, die Infrastruktur. Den Rest können Private besser.

Abbeville Road in Clapham was closed to cars today as a one-day trial and the results were... incredible. Basically unrecognisable
