A compelling trend emerging in the ever-evolving landscape of the rail industry is the growth of open access services across across Great Britain and Europe. In the UK, open access has been around for over 15 years through long standing Grand Central Rail and Hull Trains. The recent success of Lumo, despite the demise of franchising, passenger service contracts, and Great British Railways, has led to greater interest in open access. First Rail, owner of Lumo, have recently applied to run services from London Euston to Rochdale via Manchester Victoria. They join Grand Union Trains, GO-OP Train Co-operative, Virgin Trains and Alstom (under the guise of Wrexham, Shropshire & Midlands Railway) in publicly declaring plans for new open access services. In France, the new open access operator Proxima, financed by Antin Infrastructure Partners has just been unveiled which will begin services in 2027, a project for which IPEX has been acting as Technical Advisor. The IPEX team is keenly attuned to the intricacies of open access and the shifts it brings to the rail sector. Joseph Brown's Insight discusses how and why the choice of rolling stock should be front and centre when developing an open access business case. https://lnkd.in/e_S_V5g6
