Abellio East Midlands Limited , [1] comercializada como East Midlands Railway ( EMR ), es una empresa operadora de trenes en Inglaterra, propiedad de Abellio , y es el operador actual de la franquicia de East Midlands.

Historia [ editar ]

En marzo de 2017, el Departamento de Transporte anunció Arriva , una empresa conjunta entre FirstGroup y Trenitalia , y el actual Stagecoach había sido preseleccionado para ofertar por la próxima franquicia de East Midlands. [2] Abellio fue agregado en febrero de 2018. [3]

FirstGroup y Trenitalia se retiraron del proceso de licitación en abril de 2018 para centrarse en la franquicia West Coast Partnership . [4] En abril de 2019, la franquicia fue otorgada a Abellio, con East Midlands Railway (EMR) para hacerse cargo de la franquicia de East Midlands Trains (EMT) el 18 de agosto de 2019 por un período de ocho años. [5]

En junio de 2019, Abellio reveló la marca y el esquema de color con distintos colores púrpura y blanco para reflejar la herencia de East Midlands. También confirmó que dividiría los servicios en tres segmentos: [6]

  • EMR Intercity para servicios de larga distancia desde London St Pancras
  • EMR Regional para servicios en East Midlands
  • EMR Las eléctricas para los exteriores suburbanas London St Pancras a Corby servicio

En abril de 2021 se anunció que EMR Electrics pasaría a llamarse EMR Connect. [7]

Acuerdo de suspensión y terminación de la franquicia [ editar ]

Con el inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19 que provocó un colapso de los ingresos en marzo de 2020, la franquicia fue suspendida y reemplazada por un Acuerdo de medidas de emergencia durante seis meses en virtud del cual el Departamento de Transporte asumió la responsabilidad de todos los ingresos y costos y se pagó a EMR una tarifa de gestión. [8] Esto fue reemplazado por un Acuerdo de Medidas de Recuperación de Emergencia (ERMA) en virtud del cual se rescindió el acuerdo de franquicia original. La franquicia operará hasta marzo de 2022. [9] [10]

Servicios [ editar ]

EMR opera servicios de cercanías desde London St Pancras a Corby , así como servicios interurbanos desde London St Pancras a lo largo de Midland Main Line hasta Nottingham y Sheffield con extensiones limitadas a Lincoln , Leeds y York . EMR también opera los servicios locales de East Midlands y los servicios interregionales a Liverpool y Norwich (servicio Express). Los servicios de Nottingham a Liverpool Lime Street debían transferirse a otro operador durante la vigencia de la franquicia, [11]aunque tras una revisión por parte del DfT, esto ya no se llevará a cabo; en cambio, el servicio se dividió en Nottingham como estaba previsto, pero permaneció con EMR. [12] Se esperaba que la línea Barton se transfiriera desde Northern en 2019, pero esto se retrasó hasta mayo de 2021. [13] [14]

La tarjeta de pago sin contacto se puede utilizar entre London St Pancras International y Luton Airport Parkway .

Durante el transcurso de la franquicia, se realizarán varios cambios de horario previstos: [11]

  • Trenes anteriores y posteriores entre Sheffield y Nottingham a East Midlands Parkway

Rolling stock[edit]

East Midlands Railway inherited a fleet of 28 Class 43s, 21 Class 153s, 15 Class 156s, 26 Class 158s, and 27 Class 222s from East Midlands Trains. In January 2020 nine additional Class 156 units from Greater Anglia were introduced into service. Nine 8-carriage InterCity 125 sets have also been transferred from London North Eastern Railway, with the first set having entered service on 4 May 2020. They will be replaced by mid-2021.[15] To replace the ex-Grand Central “buffered” HST sets, EMR commenced a lease of the 4 former Hull Trains Class 180 fleet despite their history of technical difficulties, with the first units entering service on 13 December 2020.[16][17]

By May 2021 East Midlands Railway plans to run EMR Connect services using 21 refurbished Class 360s, by the end of 2022 plans to run EMR Regional services using 40 Class 170s, and by the end of 2023 plans to run EMR Intercity services using 33 new bi-mode Class 810s. The new and refurbished trains will provide:[18]

  • a more reliable service
  • improved comfort
  • passenger information system displays
  • free on-board Wi-Fi
  • at-seat power sockets
  • USB points
  • air conditioning
  • tables at all seats
  • increased luggage space

Future fleet[edit]

Originally nine former LNER High Speed Train sets were to replace a similar number of sets inherited from East Midlands Trains. However after the carriages were found to require more repairs than originally envisaged, this was cut back to five sets.[19]

Other existing stock to be added will consist of 21 Class 360s from Greater Anglia, 23 Class 170s from West Midlands Trains[20] and 12 Class 171s from Southern (which will be converted back to Class 170s).[21][22] Those altogether will enable the High Speed Trains, Class 153, Class 156 and Class 158 sets to be withdrawn, although some of the gaps were to be filled in when the Liverpool-Nottingham service was taken over by another operator. This will now not take place, with a proposal made to transfer 15 Class 185 units from TransPennine Express to prevent the shortfall in stock caused by EMR retaining this service. [23]

The Class 360 will be introduced as a result of the electrification of the Midland Main Line from Bedford to Corby and will displace Class 222 from London-Corby services. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the electrification between Bedford and Corby has been delayed and the Class 360s are now expected to enter service in May 2021 instead of December 2020.[24] The Class 222s will then work on other InterCity Routes where they will replace the HSTs, working alongside the Class 180s by mid-2021.[25][26]

To replace the Class 180 and Class 222 units, 33 5-carriage Class 810 bi-mode trains will be introduced in 2023. [27][28] In May 2020, EMR opened a competition to give the class their own unique brand name.[29] In October 2020, EMR announced that the fleet will have the 'Aurora' brand.[30]
