Proposed new passenger station at Glyne Gap, Bexhill Confidential

This report presents the results of a detailed operational assessment of the viability of

serving a new station at Glyne Gap, located between Bexhill and Bo Peep Junction, west

of Hastings. The analysis has been based upon the present day timetable (May 2012) –

we are aware that major timetable changes are due as part of the Thameslink project

which could impact on this analysis, but these plans have not been made public at

present.

The operational analysis has paid attention to key network conflicts and constraints in the

area, in particular those at:

Bo Peep Junction where the London-Hastings line meets the East Coastway line;

Hastings station, due to the limited numbers of platforms and the inter-actions with

Hastings line trains;

West of Eastbourne, due to platform constraints at Brighton, and Brighton Main

Line interactions from Keymer Junction (Wivelsfield) northwards; and

East of Ore caused by single track line capacity issues on the line to Ashford.

The analysis has identified that a close to regular interval hourly service could be

provided at a Glyne Gap station, but that the service origin/destination would be

imbalanced with:

westbound the service running to Brighton; whilst

eastbound the service coming from London Victoria.

The actual service calling at the station would be the all-stations service, with the current

semi-fast Brighton-Ashford service unable to call due to operational and train capacity

reasons.

The analysis has also shown that to achieve a higher frequency than hourly would

require major retimetabling – eastbound services every half-hour could be possible with

little impact upon the timetable, but westbound this would not be possible.

The results of the analysis contained in this report have been carried through to the

station demand forecasting and business case development, train service frequency

being a key driver of demand.

Proposed new passenger station at Glyne Gap, Bexhill Confidential

Mott MacDonald has been commissioned by Rother District Council, East Sussex County Council and

Land Securities Group plc to develop the commercial, operational and infrastructural viability of a new

station at Glyne Gap, located to the east of Bexhill station in East Sussex. This report presents the results

of the operational viability. This has focused in particular on the practical feasibility of stopping existing train

services at the new station, and identifying any timetabling difficulties that doing so might present. The

issues analysed are:

Conflicts with other trains, for example at critical junctions such as Bo Peep Junction where the Glyne

Gap stop would result in trains arriving at these locations at different times; and

Turnaround times: where the slower journey resulting from additional station stops would mean that a

train would no longer have sufficient time to form its return working.

A turnaround time is the time needed for a train to be able to restart its operation at the end of a particular

working. This time is required for the driver and/or guard to change ends if necessary, any crew changes

and to reboot the train if required. Minimum turnaround times are specified in the Network Rail Timetable

Planning Rules, with any shorter times likely to impact upon a reliable service.

After identifying the two above issues, this note then identifies those services which could stop at Glyne

Gap and so puts forward an approximate possible timetable for the station.

Reference is made in this report to comments provided by Southern and Network Rail during the

Stakeholder Consultation process held on 2nd

November 2012 at East Sussex County Council

headquarters in Lewes.

This review focuses on the core Monday-to-Friday service, when the line sees its heaviest usage and

therefore when issues of conflict and train utilisation are most likely to emerge. Generally speaking, the

Saturday service is very similar to the off-peak (inter-peak) service pattern on weekdays. Sundays see a

less intensive service, with only two trains per hour through Bexhill: the Brighton – Ore local service does

not run; all other things being equal, it is likely that a less intensive service will give rise to fewer timetabling

issues.

This note uses the terms “up” and “down” for directions, following railway convention. In this case, the “up”

direction is essentially eastbound and northbound, i.e. Ore Hastings St Leonards and then either

towards Eastbourne, Brighton and London or towards London via Tonbridge. Accordingly, “down” means

trains away from London/Brighton/Tonbridge and towards Hastings and Ore. On this basis, at Glyne Gap,

trains towards Bexhill and Eastbourne are “up”, with those towards St Leonards, Hastings and Ore being

“down”. Running lines are commonly labelled in accordance with this convention.

Proposed new passenger station at Glyne Gap, Bexhill Confidential

2.1 Assumptions

Our timetabling assessment has been carried out in accordance with the following assumptions:

Glyne Gap station will be located at the approximate location shown on the map included in Appendix A.

The timetable is based on May 2012 services (it has not proved possible to consider future timetables

as the major Thameslink upgrade will lead to a major remapping of the Brighton Main Line and would

have a major impact on the West Coastway service, but has not yet been specified)..

No changes have been made to linespeeds, sectional running times or signalling/junction headways,

reoccupation times and similar as against current specifications. As with the previous assumption, this

is as agreed in the 2 November 2012 stakeholder discussion meetings, i.e. that current timetables and

infrastructure would form the basis of our analysis.

Brighton – Ashford “Marshlink” diesel-worked services are assumed to be out of scope – that is, these

should not stop at Glyne Gap. This reflects the views expressed by Southern Railway and Network Rail

at the stakeholder discussion meeting on 2nd November 2012, that:

these 2-car trains would not have the capacity to accommodate demand from an additional station

call, being already close to capacity;

the units’ poorer acceleration means that they would suffer a worse time penalty than electric units in

stopping at Glyne Gap, leading to line capacity issues;

slowing these “semi-fast” trains would be commercially undesirable slowing the journey time for

through trips; and

that any change to the timetabling of these services would have to be restricted to the section west

of Ore, this reflecting the further assumption that there can be no changes to the timetabling of the

sensitive Ore – Ashford section, which is largely single-track and interfaces with a busy rail hub at

Ashford International.

For the above reasons, the Marshlink trains are not shown in the analysis.

No changes can be made to trains’ timings west of Eastbourne, due to interactions with the Brighton

Main Line at both Brighton and north of Keymer Junction (Wivelsfield).

No changes can be made to trains’ timings on the Hastings – Tonbridge – London line, due to the signal

line sections on this route and interactions with other routes at Tonbridge northwards.

All timings shown are taken from the working timetable (WTT) – in some cases times shown in the

public timetable will be slightly different.

Stopping an electric train at Glyne Gap would add two minutes to the journey times between Bexhill and

St Leonards Warrior Square (the same in both directions); this is assumed to cover braking, dwell time

at the station, and acceleration back to line speed.

Unless stated otherwise, down trains (i.e. those from the west/north) which are proposed to stop at

Glyne Gap will leave stations up to and including Bexhill at the same times, and will then arrive at St

Leonards Warrior Square and subsequent stations two minutes later. In the up direction (i.e. towards

Eastbourne and Brighton/London), they will leave Ore or Hastings, and stations up to and including St

Leonards Warrior Square, two minutes earlier, enabling them to stop at Bexhill and all subsequent

stations to the east at their current times. Exceptions to this assumption are shown.

No conflicts arise to up (westbound) Coastway services at Bo Peep Junction.

We have not had sight of up-to-date rolling-stock diagrams, and therefore our assumptions regarding

train usage (which trains form which later workings) are based on our understanding of current

operations on Southern and South-Eastern, as informed by WTTs. As such, the indications given

regarding which trains form which subsequent services are also assumptions.

In addition, detailed assumptions, derived from the WTT, Timetable Planning Rules and other railway

sources, and relating to specific matters such as how many minutes are to be allowed for specific types of

movement, signalling headways and junction/platform reoccupation times, are detailed in Appendix B.

2.2 Types of potential conflict analysed

Conflicts arise where a train is prevented from passing a location at it's timetabled time due to the presence

of another train. This could be due to the simple fact that a train is occupying the same piece of track for

instance a station platform, or at a junction where an allowance has to built into the timetable for the

junction to be cleared, the route to be set and the signal to be cleared as well as the time required for the

train to accelerate and achieve line speed and clear the junction again for the next train.

Potential conflicts considered are as follows:

Bo Peep Junction: conflicts may arise at this flat junction where the “1066 Line” from London via

Tonbridge converges with the East Coastway from Bexhill; in particular, down Coastway trains may

conflict with both up 1066 Line services needing to cross their path to go towards Tonbridge, and with

down services presenting at the junction at the same time or too close in front/behind.

Bo Peep Junction – Hastings: Headway conflicts may arise if trains are planned to follow too closely behind

one another along this section. The signal spacing along the route and the line speed places physical

constraints on the frequency of trains.

Turnaround times: as discussed above, a later arrival at Hastings or Ore as a result of a Glyne Gap

stop, and an earlier departure of the same physical train on its next working back towards Brighton or

London, may leave insufficient turnaround time. In order to maintain timetable commitments from

Brighton, services may have to be planned to leave Hastings or Ore earlier so that they may stop at

Glyne Gap without affecting arrival time at London or Brighton.

Movements around stations: conflicts may also arise around movements of trains in Hastings, Ore and

Eastbourne stations, which have multiple platforms and sidings. As complex station layouts have many

junctions and crossovers, additional time is required to allow the routes to be set into each

platform/siding and for trains to traverse and clear each junction/crossover.

Trains accessing/leaving St Leonards Carriage Sidings: trains to and from this depot, just west of Bo

Peep Junction, enter and leave via the down Coastway track. This means that the down Coastway line

is blocked for the duration of the movement and the time required to reset the route.

Willingdon Junction: this is the junction north of Eastbourne where the line to Brighton diverges from

that to Hastings. Time required to allow the route to be set, trains to pass and the route to be reset.

A 12-minute turnaround is acceptable in the sidings at Ore (there being no specific stipulation in the

Timetable Planning Rules). Timetable Planning Rules are agreed between TOC and Network Rail to

set minimum service times against which the timetable is cast, this time includes the time taken to

arrive, change ends and depart and clear the sidings.

2.3 Data sources

3.1 Outline timetable at Glyne Gap

Details of our analysis are shown in Appendix B to this note. This shows in detail which services could

apparently stop at Glyne Gap without difficulty, which could not do so without causing significant conflict,

and which could potentially stop at Glyne Gap if other changes to the timetable were made to avert

conflicts. Where there are conflicts, the issues causing them are identified.

The result is that we would propose that the following pattern of services might be timetabled through a

station at Glyne Gap, looking firstly at down (eastbound) trains:

Table 3.1: Possible Glyne Gap stops – down services (eastbound)

22:45 1F56 20:47 London Vic Hastings OK

23:44 1F60 21:47 London Vic Hastings provisional

The last column, “status”, indicates the conflict status: where the service is marked as “provisional”, it could

stop at Glyne Gap at the times shown, but only if other changes were made to the timetable – however,

such services are only included where the changes appear to be feasible, i.e. without making changes to

existing services west of Brighton or between Brighton and London. Details of the conflicts needing to be

resolved are included in Appendix B. As an example, the current 06:33 Eastbourne to Hastings (train ID

2D03) could stop at Glyne Gap at 06:52 if its departure time from Eastbourne were moved forward to 06:31

_________________________ 2 Headcode is the individual train identification code in the timetable. It is used to identify the train in the timetable and all associated

train running information such as formation, route, performance characteristics etc. 3 This is the present-day departure time, shown for train identification purposes. In a few cases, the departure time will change by up

to 2 minutes if the train is to stop at Glyne Gap – see Appendix B for full details.

3. Conclusions for services at Glyne Gap

to avoid a conflict around Hastings and allow it enough time to turn around at Hastings to form its next

working; our analysis suggests that this would be feasible.

23:28 2D46 23:22 Hastings Brighton OK

As can be seen, only one train in this direction would require any further amendments to the timetable,

because fewer conflicts arise in the up direction. Trains travelling in the up (westbound) direction are

subject to fewer conflicts meaning that only one timetable amendment will have to be made to allow a

stopping service in this direction at Glyne Gap.

We would, of course, emphasise that these proposed stops at Glyne Gap have been put forward purely on

the basis of timetable analysis, and they do not imply that there is a business case for stopping trains there.

Rather, they show what type of timetable can sensibly be assumed for demand-forecasting purposes, and

therefore they inform the business case appraisal process.

3.2 Implications for study

It can be seen that, from a timetabling perspective, one train per hour can be timetabled to stop at Glyne

Gap on an almost hourly frequency with minimal changes to the existing timetable. Notably, while the

number of trains proposed to serve Glyne Gap in each direction is the same, down trains are for the most

part formed of services from London, whereas in the up direction they are generally Brighton trains. Clearly

this “uneven service” is in some respects sub-optimal: the station would generally have direct services to

_________________________ 4 Once again, this is the present-day departure time, including for train identification purposes. In all cases here other than train 2D38,

the departure time would be two minutes earlier to allow the Glyne Gap stop; details are in Appendix B.

Brighton but not from it, however, the opposite will apply to services to London. That said, there would be a

peak-time direct train to and from London.

We are aware that stakeholders have expressed a desire for Glyne Gap to be served by two trains per

hour. Operationally, this would be difficult: while in the down direction several trains from Brighton could

potentially stop at Glyne Gap if other amendments were made to the timetable5, in the up direction the

trains from Ore to London Victoria could generally not do so in the inter-peak period without substantial

further changes to the timetable. This is because of physical line constraints, they can follow five minutes

behind Hastings – Tonbridge – London Charing Cross services between Hastings and Bo Peep Junction,

meaning that the Coastway trains could not leave early enough to allow a Glyne Gap stop. Nor could these

trains arrive later into Eastbourne: they would then not have sufficient time to couple to the additional

coaches they acquire there, before changing direction to continue their journey towards London. As such,

given that it would not be sensible to have a half-hourly service from Glyne Gap in one direction and an

hourly service in the other, we have proposed the above services as a compromise which gives a

reasonably regular service throughout the day, at the cost of the unevenness of destinations described

above.

For the purposes of the Glyne Gap demand forecasting and business case appraisal work, the service

patterns as set out above in Tables 3.1 and 3.2 have been used.

_________________________ 5 The extra down trains would leave Glyne Gap at around 06:36, 09:43, 11:05, 12:05, 13:05, 14:05, 15:05, 18:49, 20:43 and 00:44 –

subject to other amendments which could be made to the timetable, again as set out in Appendix B.

Bo Peep Jn Conflict at the junction itself, typically between a down Coastway train and an up train to Tonbridge

BPJ - HGS Conflict arising due to insufficient headway left between trains on this section

Turnaround Conflict arising due to insufficient time left at end point (Hastings or Ore) to form next service (or, on the "Up" sheet, from previous service)

Note that where no "turnaround time" conflict is identified, the next train that the working is understood to form is only given in the

"notes" column on the "Down" sheet as it is not relevant to up trains terminating at Brighton, London etc.

"Predicted times" are the departure times that would apply if stops at Glyne Gap were inserted; these are shown in grey where

conflicts would need to be resolved and not at all where conflicts do not appear capable of easy resolution. While based on the WTT,

half-minutes are rounded to the NEXT whole minute in these columns. Predicted times that don't follow the basic rule of only

adjusting times east of Bexhill are shown in bold italics.
