Foreword Evaluation of the way in which national safety rules are published and made available This is the country report for United Kingdom, annex 26 to the Supporting Paper to Final Report Evaluation of the way in which national safety rules are published and made available (/INF/ /SAF). Information in this report provides an overview of the current status of activities implied by Articles 4(1), 8(1), 12(2-3), 16(2)(f) and 17(1) of the Railway Safety Directive 2004/49/EC, as well as indicates possible room for developing relevant procedures and practice. Abbreviations used in this document are common to all annexes and are explained in the Supporting Paper. Information in this report was validated by the Member States representatives in RISC. A reservation should be made concerning the information and summary conclusions in this report taking into account constant development of the NSR-related activities in the Member States, as well as the primary purpose for the Agency s task and methodology for collecting the relevant information: the Agency s evaluation aimed to establish a general picture on how NSR are published and made available in the Member States. It was not the purpose for the Agency s task to describe these activities in detail and check their compliance with the Railway Safety Directive. 1. Introduction 1.1. General Description Due to the differences, the UK will be described in two parts: Great Britain Northern Ireland Great Britain Legislation Primary legislation (acts of parliament) allow for relevant secondary legislation to be made by the Government and approved by the parliament. The Rail Safety & Standards Board (RSSB) sets up standards and recommendations which are mandatory to the operators on the GB mainline railway (including the open access operators) as part of the operators licences. A condition to get a licence is to be a member of the RSSB and as such you are bound by its rules. Exceptions to this rule are the Channel Tunnel, HS1 1 and Northern Ireland Organisation The Department for Transport (DfT), i.e. the Ministry, is responsible for government policy on railways. The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) is the NSA, the regulatory body and the licensing authority as required under the first and second rail packages. ORR is responsible for issuing safety certificates, safety authorisations and enforcing the railway safety legislation. The Rail Safety & Standards Board (RSSB) is the industry coordination body, setting rules for safety issues. 1 The High Speed Line 1, the high speed line link between London St Pancras station and the Channel Tunnel, also known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. /INF/ /SAF Version 1.0 Page 4/27
5 Railway operations Before privatisation (1993), there was only one big company - British Rail. The privatisation of British Rail was the result of the Railways Act 1993, which broke up and sold off the main functions of British Rail. There are about 25 train operators for passenger traffic and 3 freight operators. Network Rail is the Infrastructure Manager for the mainline railway network in Britain and also manages the infrastructure for the high speed rail link between London and Brussels and Paris (HS1). Network Rail has a licence issued by the ORR. The structure of the railway sector is as follows: Government franchises to train operators. Operators have track access contracts with Network Rail. Funding goes from Government to operators and from operators to Network Rail. All freight operators do not receive funds from the Government since they have to compete in the market. Open access operators for passengers do not have Government franchises and so they do not receive any funding. These kind of operators tend to be regional. For the Channel Tunnel see Annex Northern Ireland Legislation Legislation for covering railway safety in Northern Ireland is derived from separate specific Northern Irish legislation Organisation The Government department (Ministry) responsible for railways in the Northern Ireland is the Department for Regional Development Northern Ireland (DRDNI). The DRDNI is the NSA for Northern Ireland. Safety advice is given to DRDNI by ORR under an agency agreement Railway operations Northern Ireland has an integrated IM and RU - Northern Ireland Railways. It is incorporated in Translink, which is the brand name of the integrated public transport operation of the following branches: City bus Northern Ireland Railways (NIR) Ulster bus 1.2. Particularities The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) was established in April 2003, in response to recommendations made by Lord Cullen in the report of the second part of the public inquiry into the Ladbroke Grove accident. Previous responsibility for the activities undertaken by RSSB was with the infrastructure manager. The ORR has observer status on the RSSB Board. /INF/ /SAF Version 1.0 Page 5/27
6 1.3. Practice Evaluation of the way in which national safety rules are published and made available The railway undertakings are represented by the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC), a representative body for train operators that helps to communicate their opinions to stakeholders, government and the media. 2. Analysis tables This part of the report records the results of the analysis of the information collected from different sources according to the methodology described in the Supporting Paper. /INF/ /SAF Version 1.0 Page 6/27

Anyone, even persons outside of the rail industry, is able to submit a proposal for a change to a RGS. This proposal is then considered by the relevant Standards Committee(s) to determine if any change is needed. If it is, the drafting is done by RSSB (sometimes with the assistance of a drafting group with industry representatives). All members of RSSB are then consulted on the draft RGS, together with any other parties who have told RSSB they wish to be informed of a change to that particular RGS. Any comments received are considered, appropriate changes made and the RGS is approved by the Standards Committee(s). /INF/ /SAF Version 1.0 Page 11/27

26 3. Summary conclusions The table below was prepared with the aim to draw attention of the Member State to key improvements of the NSR-related activities and practice which appear necessary based on the currently available information. There is clear distinction between mandatory requirements in the Railway Safety Directive and advice for good practice. /INF/ /SAF Version 1.0 Page 26/27
27 Legislative requirements Table 26.5 Country: United Kingdom I. Establishment MS shall ensure that safety rules are laid down in an open non-discriminatory manner Evaluation of the way in which national safety rules are published and made available Article in RSD Conclusions from the evaluation of the publication and availability of national safety rules Concerns about implementation 4(1) Partly fulfilled. As a general rule, consultation is open. However no information was provided concerning consultation on draft IM rules. MS shall establish binding national safety rules 8(1) Partly fulfilled. For type 4 rules specific rules for signalling and traffic management system are missing. The legal base for the IM rules for Channel Tunnel Rail link is not clear. For Northern Ireland type 3, type 4, type 7 and type 6 rules for staff certification are missing. Type 3 rules were withdrawn from Annex II of the RSD. Attention should be paid to ensure these rules are notified as NTR. NSA shall monitor, promote, enforce and develop the safety regulatory framework In the process of developing the national regulatory framework, NSA shall consult all persons involved and interested parties II. Publication MS shall ensure that the national safety rules are published III.Availability MS shall ensure that national safety rules are made available to all IMs, RUs and applicants for a safety certificate or a safety authorisation NSA shall provide special guidance for a safety certificate concerning services on a defined limited part of an infrastructure and a guidance document on the requirements for safety certificates free of charge to applicants IV. Understanding MS shall establish binding national safety rules in a clear language that can be understood by the parties concerned 16(2)(f) Fulfilled but room for improving the management of safety rules system from systematic to comprehensive. Some type 5 rules were issued as IM rules and Railway Group Standards by RSSB. It is suggested to issue type 5 rules in the form of direct rules (better practice). 17(1) Partly fulfilled same conclusions as for Article 4(1). For information: The NSA is not always involved in this process. There is consultation rubric on the ORR website. 8(1) Fulfilled but room for improvement. Primary source for IM rules and management of publication of IM rules are unclear. 8(1) Fulfilled but room for improvement. There are two NSA: ORR for Great Britain and DRDNI for Northern Ireland. Some rules are available on the ORR website and no rules on the DRDNI website. Not easy to identify the whole set of NSR. 12(2-3) Partly fulfilled. ORR provides guideline for operation in Great Britain. Nor DRDNI, nor ORR provide similar guideline for the Northern Ireland. 8(1) Due to the limited input data it is not possible to provide an opinion on fulfilment of this requirement. During the interviews some subjective views from stakeholders were expressed: In general easy to understand, technical details sometimes require explanation. /INF/ /SAF Version 1.0 Page 27/27
