43 Freight-only routes MIDLANDS ZONE EWS; Freightliner. Route characteristics DESCRIPTION This geographically dispersed group of routes conveys freight trains only. Within the Midlands Zone there are two distinct categories of lines: main arterial routes and branch lines. The main arterial routes include Sutton Park Line, Kettering–Manton Junction, Sheet Stores–Stenson Junction, St Andrews Route vision Our vision for these routes is to encourage and cater for growth in all freight markets which, we see as expanding, not only in terms of volume but also in axle weights, train lengths and vehicle profiles to a maximum of W10. There will be opportunities to expand the current volume of freight throughout the network, arising from a concerted effort to search for new freight sites. A reduction in the operating base cost of these routes, providing the optimal performance income through improved asset reliability (and the introduction of new low-cost Route development and customer requirements We will continue to work with industry partners to secure and encourage freight growth utilising both existing facilities and potential freight locations. We are working with developers to investigate the opportunities for new intermodal depots at a number of locations within the East and West Midlands as well as in London. Market demand has suggested that there is potential for new traffic on the branch lines from Kingswinford–Pensnett and Stoke–Caldon Low. We are working to examine the options for reopening both routes. These are the route improvements we plan to deliver Junction–Lawley Street and Knighton Junction–Leicester Burton Junction. Linespeeds are predominantly 40–75mph. These routes further supplemented by numerous facilities, both on branch lines and at private sidings, are predominantly single track with a linespeed ranging between 30mph and 60mph.

So, too, is the encouragement of market growth with the provision of highly reliable and performing services, seeking the continual improvement of performance to ensure delivery of the established timetable. We are also evaluating electrification of the Water Orton–Walsall Line as part of an improved access to West Midlands from WCML. The mothballed Claydon–Bletchley and Round Oak–Bescot routes are being safeguarded for possible future reopening in conjunction with the East–West Rail Link and Midland Metro, respectively, or for future traffic growth. We look forward to working with train and freight operators, the public, local authorities, the Franchising Director, the Rail Regulator and central government to ensure that this vision becomes a reality.
