Open access rail has been a hotly debated topic in recent months, with companies like Lumo, Hull Trains, and Grand Central supplementing the services offered by public sector operators. Open access aims to fill gaps in the existing timetable, attract new customers with lower fares and provide exciting new routes. Key challenges include limited railway capacity on some parts of the network and general awareness of the open access offering, while benefits can include increased competition and lower fares for customers.
Jen Clare, Service Delivery Director at Lumo, will be covering topics such as:
POD Sections:
02: Performance Management
03: Delivering Passenger & Freight Services
11: Railway Organisations Business Context
The North East Area Council look forward to welcoming you to their event in York, which will give you the opportunity to network while enjoying light refreshments before the talk. Please aim for a prompt arrival, in order to ensure access to George Stephenson House.
The council members will also adjourn to the ‘York Tap’ after the event for some drinks and a chat, as many members welcome the opportunity to meet industry colleagues.
