Notification.
Network Rail is working with the Department for Transport and Transport
Scotland to identify existing non electrified railway routes within the UK
that offer the best business cases for potential electrification. Network
Rail is also currently consulting on a Draft Electrification Strategy
document, which forms part of the Network Route Utilisation Strategy (RUS)
for the UK. As part of and in conjunction with this work, Network Rail
have been tasked to undertake a more detailed study of the first two major
routes that appear to offer the best business cases for electrification.
These are the Great Western Mainline from London to Swansea via Bristol
and Cardiff with spurs to Newbury and Oxford. The 2nd line will be the
electrification the route between Manchester Victoria and Liverpool Lime
Street.
Large scale electrification has not been undertaken within the UK for more
than fifteen years; Network Rail will be seeking to develop a robust
delivery programme for these first two routes and are seeking responses
from the supply industry. The programme currently envisages the potential
introduction of electric traction onto the Liverpool to Manchester within
Control Period 4 and the Great Western Mainlines over Control Periods 5
and 6 subject to comprehensive study/ development being carried out during
Control Period 4. In order to facilitate this programme, Network Rail is
seeking to procure a number of services from the supply industry.
The initial development phase will include developing optimum technical
solutions and outline design for all elements of electrification and
associated infrastructure.
During later phases of the programme, Network Rail will be seeking to
procure detailed design, programme management, supply, manufacture,
construction and commissioning services for all aspects of electrification
and associated infrastructure. The aspects will include (but are not
limited to): overhead line work, power supply, distribution, civil
engineering work, On Track Plant (High Output), signalling works, telecoms
and track Works.
