Proposed amendments to the model charter track access contract

Sought feedback on proposed amendments to the model charter track access contract to allow services to run between the Core Valleys Lines and Network Rail’s network.

We have worked together with Network Rail to produce a new draft model charter track access contract, containing changes to Schedule 8 only. The changes are similar to changes that were made to the model freight track access contract following a consultation by ORR in 2020. The main difference is that those freight contract changes related to Schedules 4 and 8 but charter contracts do not have a Schedule 4.

Who should respond to this consultation?

This consultation will be of interest to:

  • current and aspirant charter operators 
  • rail passengers
  • publicly funded operators 
  • infrastructure managers

We also welcome views from other interested parties such as:

  • local and regional government
