8. 8 Key costs & revenue drivers… CostsIncome Using CP5 totals (2011/12 prices). The Network Rail costs are based on an illustrative CP5 forecast

9. 99 International benchmarks Comparator railways (F, NL, SE, CH) £ / passenger km Infrastructure & rolling stock contribute most to higher costs. Train operating costs are below comparisons. 40% reduction needed to reach benchmark average. Additional 10% from efficiency models is due to relatively lower levels train utilisation.

10. 10 Key findings of VFM study 30% reduction from 2008-09 industry costs should be possible by 2018/19, with further savings beyond that. The industry needs to plan how to meet this challenge and take responsibility for change. There are 10 broad areas identified as causing inefficiencies. Recommendations cover 8 areas and effect a wide range of the industry, from government policy and regulation through to operators and Network Rail’s activities and relationships.

11. 11 Savings to be achieved Estimate for savings in year 2018/19 (09/10 prices) over and above CP4 and initial CP5 targets (£m). The remaining £600m could be delivered by a 5% improvement in train productivity.

13. 13 Progress to date The Study recognises the efforts of Network Rail and train operators to address the “co-operation deficit”. –Network Rail’s commitment to change, to a focus on customer needs, and to greater levels of safety, transparency and accountability is noted. –Train operators’ greater willingness to work with Network Rail is also noted. –Early signs are described as “encouraging”. The Study also welcomes the plans announced by Network Rail to improve engagement with suppliers and contractors.

14. 14 Implementing change The Study recommends “a large amount of change” that should be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Focus is on making existing structures work better. Legislating change would use valuable time and effort, and be disruptive and potentially costly. Major changes and the identified efficiencies can still be delivered by adapting existing structures. Many of the changes within Network Rail have already begun.

17. 17 The Initial Industry Plan Planning Oversight Group asked by ORR to publish an Initial Industry Plan (IIP) in September 2011. In terms of expenditure, the primary focus of the IIP is the level of overall Government subsidy to rail in CP5 We have been asked to prepare at least two scenarios: –The cost of the current railway –A preferred plan that meets customer and stakeholder needs This will inform the development of the High Level Output Specifications (HLOSs) and Statement of Funds Available (SoFAs) to be published by DfT and Transport Scotland in July 2012

19. 19 Key questions Is the scale of ambition right? What additional outputs do we want to deliver? What assumptions do we make about industry efficiencies in CP5? How will devolution impact on our costs? What policy choices should we examine?
