Bernician Railways Integrated railway network for the North East & Cumbria Draft Plan November 2017 Revision
Hartlepool
What is Bernician Railways? "Local rail brings huge economic and social benefits to the communities it reaches today, but we need to extend those benefits into new areas." Bernician Railways (BR) is a in-development project with responsibility for delivering 21st century quality rail transport to the North East & Cumbria. BR feeds into the Northern Powerhouse project, and is closely aligned with related infrastructure projects in Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Scotland. Though rich in railway heritage, mistakes by past governments have led to the dismantling of the north’s once-dense rail network. This has been a major factor in the growth of inequality in the UK; where today London receives £1,943 per head in transportation spending, the North East receives only £200. A car has become a necessity for many in the north merely to live their lives. This lack of access to efficient public transport is a key factor in creating areas of deprivation and generational unemployment, not to mention the environmental impact of forcing so many onto the road. The 3.1 million people of the North East & Cumbria deserve better. It is our hope that by improving transportation across the region we can create a region-wide job market, accessible to all. Via tapping into these economies of agglomeration we will contribute towards transforming the region from one of the most deprived in Europe into a thriving modern economy. Bernician Railways aims to transform the economic geography of the region, efficiently allowing the disparate economies of our varied cities, towns, and villages to begin to operate as a single integrated whole. The following document provides an outline of our plans for rail transport in the North East & Cumbria over the decades to come. The plan outlined in this document may seem radical to some, however what it proposes is nothing unusual. Already similar integrated railway systems exist in regions such as ours across Europe and the world at large. For further information about the plan will affect your area, contact the office of your local MP or MEP.

About Bernician Railways Bernician Railways (BR) is the future regional rail operator for the North East & Cumbria. BR is named for the ancient English kingdom of Bernicia; founded in the 5th century, at its height, the kingdom stretched from the Forth to the Tees, encompassing most of our operating area within its borders. We take the name Bernician Railways to honour our local heritage and show our commitment to the betterment of the region. Bernician Railways area of responsibility in the North East covers local rail transport in an area stretching from Berwick in the north to the Tees Valley City Region in the south. Some BR trains will continue to Northallerton and York, likewise some local trains from Yorkshire will terminate in Middlesbrough. In Cumbria, responsibility is planned to be split. BR will operate the Tyne Valley Line and the Cumbrian Coast Line. Other routes in Cumbria will fall under the responsibility of Lancashire Rail, with Barrow-in-Furness and Carlisle standing as the two stations served by both. Cross-over with Scottish local services will take place at Berwick and Carlisle, whilst other operators will continue to serve our region with long distance services.

High Speed 2 & Bernician Railways Bernician Railways is unaffiliated with High Speed 2 Limited. We however fully support the HS2 project and see its aims as tightly aligned with our own. As such BR will seek to build a close working relationship with HS2 Ltd during which we will aim to coordinate our complementary projects.

We disagree with the current slow pace of HS2 and the fact that current plans end with a ‘Y’ shaped branch to the Leeds area in the east and the Manchester area in the west. Given that the primary purpose of HS2 is in relieving overcrowding on existing lines, BR strongly pushes for an extension of HS2’s eastern branch to the North East. This will not only provide quicker connections between the region and the rest of the country but it will also ease the ever-growing congestion troubles between Northallerton and Newcastle on the East Coast Main Line.
Further, we find it very worrying that current discussions about the route to Scotland favour a western alignment. Our studies lead us to strongly believe that the best value for money and quality of service will be obtained by routing HS2 via the north east, linking the vital economic centres of Tyne & Wear and the Tees Valley to the Scottish Central Belt, the major cities of England’s Liverpool-Hull belt, the Midlands, and London. Bernician Railways also strongly supports proposals for a HS3 link between Liverpool and Hull. This, combined with our proposed eastern alignment of HS2 would serve to connect all of northern Britain’s major cities, providing a massive boon to economic development. It is our fondest hope that HS2 and HS3 will be completed on an expedited timetable. Alongside projects such as BR providing major local infrastructure improvements, these improvements will help to create a United Kingdom which is more prosperous for all.

High Speed 2 Stations In the North East we support the construction of two stations. Teeside Airport: Current plans for the Tees Valley HS2 Station call for a parkway station between the Darlington and Teeside urban areas. We feel, after a cost benefits analysis taking into account other plans for the area, that a logical modification to these plans is locating this parkway station at Durham Tees Valley/ Teeside Airport. This can be completed along with the relocation of the Teeside Airport station on the Tees Valley Line and other in development projects to revitalise the airport. Tyneside: There are two possibilities for Tyneside’s HS2 Station, shown on the map below. This map also shows existing railway and metro lines, as well as our preferred route of HS2 around the banks of the Tyne. The first possibility(purple), requiring less disruption, is for a pass-through station located on the Tyne Valley line in the vicinity of the Metro Centre (left-yellow). The second (red), which will involve more disruption though provide a higher ROI, is for the station to be west of Newcastle Central Station (grey), in the current vicinity of the Metro Radio Arena (right-yellow). Image Source: Google Earth
In addition to services to these two purpose-built HSR stations, we also support HS2 Ltds’ plans to offer “Classic-compatible services”. In the North East this will involve trains from the south splitting at Teeside Airport. The main part of the train will continue on to Tyneside and Scotland, whilst the smaller rear of the train will use pre-existing lines to continue to Durham, and via a reconstructed Leamside and YN&BR Line, Sunderland. Bernician Railways holds contingency plans in case High Speed 2 does not expand to the North East, however the plan outlined in this document is working to the assumption that this logical alteration to HS2 goes ahead. We are also assuming the selection of our favoured Newcastle City Centre (red) location for the Tyneside HS Station.

Classes of Train Local (L) Trains running to a regular clockface schedule that stop at all stations along their route. It is planned that BR’s Local trains will form the backbone of public transport in the north east. A Local train operating on the Salzburg S-Bahn. “S-Trains” are common across Europe.
Express (E) Largely running on the same routes as Local trains. Express trains will only stop at a limited number of stations, providing rapid service between the region’s major centres. An Express train operating to a clockface schedule in Switzerland.
Metro (M) The existing Tyne & Wear Metro will be incorporated into the BR network. The distinguishing feature of Metro trains is that they stop at separate underground platforms at Newcastle Central and Manors. The Yellow and Green Lines of the Tyne & Wear Metro are the beginnings of our new network.
Scheduling and Ticketing Bernician Railways is intended to form the core of a fully integrated transport system for the region. This will involve the rollout of the Pop Card for payment on all rail and bus routes in the region. Work is also underway to integrate with smart card systems in other regions of the UK. Another aim Bernician Railways will be to implement a reliable, modern clockface schedule. This means that trains will stop at major stations at the same time every hour. It is our hope that these two initiatives to improve ease of use will greatly contribute to increased ridership across the network. 5
Project Timelines The development of Bernician Railways is split into three key phases, followed by a broader Phase 4 incorporating all potential future projects. Initial surveys and cost benefits analysis for Phases 1 and 2 have been completed, with completion of Phase 3 pending coordination with HS2 Ltd. More detailed project planning and budgeting is currently in the early stages and is subject to change, however the Phases broadly outlined are:
Phase 1 Phase 1 contains short term improvements that we aim to implement within a 5-year time period. Phase 1 changes are largely organisational in nature, new construction with some small exceptions, is limited to new stations on existing tracks. Though construction will be kept to a minimum, via timetable changes and service improvements we can begin to have a significant impact.
Phase 2 Phase 2 of the project takes place over a slightly longer 5-15 year period. This is the largest individual phase of the project, during this period the network will begin to take shape with start of most of our major construction projects.
Phase 3 Until plans for HS2 in the North East are finalised, much of Phase 3 remains subject to change. Timescales for Phase 3 are for longer than 15 years and the projects here can be divided into those that continue what was started in Phase 2, and those that seek to take advantage of the newly freed up capacity that HS2 will introduce on existing lines.
Phase 4 Phase 4 is not a true phase in itself, rather this is a collection of projects which have been considered and do not currently pass a cost-benefits-analysis based on the current situation. We believe that there may be merit in several of these projects once the network is up and running however. Phase 4 projects will be examined individually during Phase 2 and Phase 3 and another decision made on their viability.

Integration of Existing Routes L31/E31: Northumberland Line Improved local service on the East Coast Mainline between Newcastle and Berwick. •Phase 2: More regular stops at smaller stations on existing services. •Phase 3: With opening of HS2 East Coast Mainline extensive increase in local services. •Phase 3: Several new stations built at Tweedmouth, Beal (for Lindisfarne), Belford, Longhougton and Stannington. •L31: Local service stopping at all stations between Berwick and Cramlington; additional stops at Benton, Manors, Chillingham Road and Newcastle Central. •E31: Express service stopping at Berwick, Alnmouth, Widdrington, Morpeth, Cramlington, Manors and Newcastle Central.
L41/E41: Tyne Valley Line Improved local service on the Tyne Valley line between Newcastle and Carlisle. •Phase 1: Regular timetable introduced with local and express trains. •Phase 2: New L41 stations at Gilsland, Scotby and Botcherby. •Phase 3: Line re-routed north of the Tyne east of Blaydon. New stations at Elswick, and Scotswood. •L41: Local trains stopping at all existing stations plus five new stations. •E41: Express trains stopping at Carlisle, Hexham, Prudhoe, Ryton, Blaydon, and Newcastle Central.
L42/E42: Cumbria Coast Line No need for expansion has been identified however a drastic improvement in service is required on the existing Cumbrian Coast route •Phase 1: Increased frequency and improved service to existing stations. •L42: Local service stopping at all existing stations. •E42: Express service stopping at Carlisle, Maryport, Workington, Whitehaven, Millom, and Barrow-in-Furness.

Phase 4; Possible Future Extensions •Bernician Railways has also analysed a number of projects for which the cost-benefits-analysis does not currently allow for construction. These projects differ wildly in cost, scope and likelihood of one day going ahead, however these possibilities are all included here for completeness.
L36: Consett & Stanley Line Extension of Wansbeck Line via disused railway right of way to connect the Derwentside area of County Durham to the network. •Phase 4: Branching from the Tyne Valley Line in the vicinity of the A1/A184 roundabout, the path of the former Tanfield Railway is re-laid to connect to the existing Tanfield heritage railway. This then extends to meet the route of the former Stanhope and Tyne Railway; this route is followed westwards to Consett. •The Coast to Coast cycle route will be rerouted where affected. •Discussions with Tanfield Railway and Beamish Museum to take place to find an arrangement for continued operations. Our favoured tourism-focussed option is for track sharing in parts and a connection to Beamish Museum and beyond.
L23: Thornaby Line New line constructed through southern Middlesbrough to form an unclosed loop between Kirklevington and Teeside Industrial Estate, via Middlesbrough town centre. •Phase 3: If a decision to go ahead is reached by the end of Phase 2, hourly service begins between Yarm and JCUH. New station at Eaglescliffe Viaduct. •Phase 4: New track laid in southern Middlesbrough and Thornaby. Frequency of service increased and new stations at Saltersgill, Brookfield, Hemlington, South Thornaby and Ingleby Barwick.
Tees Tunnel Studies are currently underway into the possibility of a new crossing of the Tees, built near the mouth of the river. Consideration has been given to various combinations of road, rail and pedestrian bridges. Such a project would be linked with further investment into the redevelopment of industrial areas around the east of the river. If constructed this crossing would drastically cut the journey time between Hartlepool and Redcar, eliminating the need to travel via existing crossings in Stockton and Middlesbrough. This would also have positive effects in reducing congestion and pollution. •Envisioned services call for a South Shields-Sunderland-Hartlepool-RedcarMiddlesbrough “Durham Coast Line”, possibly extending to Darlington and Teeside Airport.
13
Phase 4; Possible Future Extensions L3: Shields Tunnel Plans are currently being drawn up for further studies into the feasibility of a rail tunnel between North and South Shields. If this project goes ahead the most likely service pattern would be to replace the Shields Ferry with an extension of the L3 Washington Line, across the Tyne to Whitley Bay or Backworth. Another possibility, assuming best-case economic development forecasts prove accurate, is for a coastal route, starting in Ashington, and running via North Shields, South Shields, Sunderland, and Hartlepool, to Middlesbrough.
Bishop Auckland Line Relaying of 3km of track on a disused right of way in Newton Aycliffe. This would allow for a new station on St. Schubert’s Way and a new service providing a direct link between Bishop Auckland and Durham.
Carlisle Metro Though current plans call for West Coast Mainline services to be outside of Bernician Railways’ control, we hope that after the opening of HS2 flexibility can be found in this, allowing for enhanced local service across the Carlisle area. Envisioned service will run from Penrith in the south, via the new St. Cuthbert’s development and Carlisle city centre, to Gretna Green, just over the Scottish Border.
North Leamside Line Possibly as a continuation of the Bishop Auckland Line beyond Durham, we have the option of reopening the Leamside Line in eastern Washington with several stations in locations such as Sulgrave, Wardley, Barmston,Columbia, and Fatfield. The favoured proposal for this route is that a small realignment of the track would allow it to follow a path to South Shields via Fellgate, Brockley Whins, Biddick Hall, Tyne Dock, and Chichester.
L11/L12 Spennymoor Link Analysis has been conducted into adding a diversion to the East Coast Mainline to allow for stops at Spennymoor by local services. Under these proposals express services would continue to use the pre-existing ECML route. Also considered, though rejected as exceptionally unlikely to ever be cost effective, was to connect Spennymoor to the network via a relaid Byers Green Branch between Durham and Bishop Auckland.
14
Further Notes on Services Through-Running Given the number of routes terminating in the central hub of Newcastle Central Station, the following through-services will frequently operate: •L41/E41, Tyne Valley Line to L14/E14, Durham Coast Line. •L41/E41, Tyne Valley Line to L31/E31, Northumberland Line. •L11/E11, Darlington Line to L31/E31, Northumberland Line. •L12/E12, Middlesbrough Line to L31/E31, Northumberland Line. •L3, Washington Line to L36, Wansbeck Line. These connections will as much as possible run to a regular schedule. Peak-times particularly will see many through-trains running.
Cycling The environment is a significant motivating factor in the Bernician Railways project, as such we will also seek to closely align with local government strategies to improve cycling. •Availability of bicycle storage to be a key factor in choice of rolling stock. •Low additional costs for taking a bike on a train. •Bicycle storage to be provided at all stations. Copenhagen biketrain.
Busses Concurrent with the Bernician Railways project, plans are also in place to establish a cross-council body to manage busses in the area along a similar model to London Busses. Ticketing between bus and rail services will operate on a unified structure with tickets transferable between the two modes of transport. Where possible efforts will also be made to align the timetables of bus and train routes. Haymarket Station
