Contract 5: Market Analysis
Phase 2: Market Analysis
1. What is the potential market for HSR?
2. How many people would use HSR (and how much revenue) for different options?
3. Where should stations be situated and what facilities should they have?
4. How much freight could use the line?
Using experience from across Europe

1. Potential Market for High Speed Rail
Analysis to understand potential market:
● Existing air, road and rail markets
● Improving access to tourist destinations?
● Better access to Gardermoen Airport?
Compare with international experience

1. Potential Market for High Speed Rail
European experience:
● HSR captures air markets well, road markets less so.
Route Distance (km)
Fastest Journey Time (hr:min)
Rail Service Frequency (per day)

2. Estimating HSR usage
● Assess cost of travelling by each mode
● How do people value different modes?
9
2. Estimating HSR usage
Many fundamental questions in forecasting:
● How willing are passengers to pay to save travel time?
● How important are frequency, reliability and station access?
● What impact does group size have on choice of travel?
● Would HSR inherently generate new demand for travel?
10
2. Estimating HSR usage
Also need to understand attitudes to HSR:
● Do business travellers value ability to work on trains rather than planes?
● Would amount of tunnels affect leisure market?
● Is reliability an important factor?
● Do people inherently value travelling by HSR more than by plane?
11
2. Estimating HSR usage
Market survey exercise being undertaken
● Surveys to understand attitudes for different types of travellers
● Economic analysis to produce forecasting models
● Supplement with sensitivity tests
12
3. Station Location and Facilities
Stavanger
Population within 15 minutes
Oslo
Kristiansand
● How many intermediate stations?
● Where should they be?
13
3. Station Location and Facilities
● Are the existing stations in the right place?
● What kind of facilities do they require?
14
4. Freight
● Is there demand for high speed freight?
15
4. Freight
● Could any HSR route carry normal freight trains?
