Title: Rail Regulator Response to NR 14-19 Plan Post by: John R on June 14, 2013, 17:24:50 Maybe the interruption to service has meant that this significant announcement has gone with comment so far.
As I understand it the ORR has provisionally approved the 5 yr investment programme, though I've not managed to find anything in respect of specific projects that made up the programme. Does anyone have a more informed view? There are still a couple more steps to go through, the next being NR's response to the determination, but I have a feeling that this was the step which would most likely have resulted in a paring back of the proposals.

But that NR page is what they published about CP5 in January. It can't be a response to this weeks ORR statement - which is only a draft determination anyway. It's an ongoing dialogue, as I mentioned in the Bristol area thread a few days ago...

I mentioned it in the Bristol area thread here: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=551.msg134400#msg134400 ...but only in the context that the local media were predicting ORR to give an explicit yes/no for the four tracking. But as you've found out as well, ORR are not dealing with individual projects at this stage, it's still very much a high level document...
