Alliance Rail Holdings



Alliance Rail Holdings is finalising its development plans for the operation of new rail services on a number of routes from 2013 through its subsidiaries Great North Western Railway Co Ltd (GNWR) and Great North Eastern Railway Co Ltd (GNER).

Alliance Rail Holdings (Alliance) is a Company established to provide new direct rail services between many northern towns and cities, whilst also offering direct links to London, both through Euston and King’s Cross.

Alliance is now currently undertaking detailed timetabling and economic work to support it’s application to the ORR for the establishment of these new rail routes.

This work will also provide the opportunity to review the potential for the re-introduction of a more regular Inter-City service at locations such as Nuneaton and Tamworth, and also offer new direct services between West Yorkshire and Crewe, allowing easy onward connections to Wales and the South West.

Delivering new ‘open access’ rail services – outside the franchising system – is a costly and complicated process, but the team at Alliance has a wealth of experience in the identification and delivery of such services.

Alliance is now currently undertaking detailed timetabling and economic work to support its application to the ORR for the establishment of new rail routes as well as undertaking detailed development work for sister company Grand Central.

Alliance has recently submitted a Section 17 application to the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR). Full details of the application and consultation undertaken can be seen by clicking here.
