1 Metro Rolling Stock Specification The North East Combined Authority is seeking a significant investment in the Tyne and Wear Metro system, allowing it to replace its life-expired Metrocar fleet. This Specification highlights the significance of the Tyne and Wear Metro, its economic importance and having invested significantly in the system since 2010, the need for continued investment, including in a new fleet of Metrocars. The role of Metro is fundamentally important to the economy and people of Tyne and Wear. It connects key centres of population allowing access to employment opportunities, to travel for leisure purposes or for education and training. The economic importance of these links is recognised by the North East Local Enterprise Partnership s Strategic Economic Plan (SEP). In relation to Metro, the SEP specifically highlights an overriding objective as being to replace the fleet of Metrocars. The North East Combined Authority s Transport Manifesto provides a commitment to deliver an essential new fleet for the Tyne and Wear Metro. In addition, the local authorities whose areas are served by Metro also recognise the importance of the system in their various planning documents. In 2012, Nexus commissioned a study from Systra to estimate future demand with the primary conclusion that the number of passenger trips will rise steadily over the period to 2030 due to rising GVA and population, the impacts of land-use planning developments and the effects of behavioural change. Metro competes with local bus services where the concessionary population travels free of charge. These factors combined drive the need for a modern clean efficient Metro vehicle. Despite the estimate of growth in passenger trips, Nexus requires replacement of its current fleet on a like-for-like basis in terms of capacity. This is because there is still a significant unused capacity in the current fleet which, at its peak, carried 60 million passenger trips per year compared to today s 40 million. The current fleet is made up of 90 Metrocars, and it is assumed that because of substantial increases in performance, layout and reliability of modern rolling stock, today s timetable and capacity can be replicated in the future with fewer new vehicles. The contract will be designed to ensure that more trains can be ordered to meet the enhancements and extensions programme. The current Metrocars were constructed in the late 1970s, and have served their purpose well. However despite undergoing two significant refurbishments, the fleet is coming to the end of its design life, with many components effectively life-expired, contributing to a very unstable operating environment, with Metrocar failures leading to delays and trains being withdrawn from service. At this stage, the three main options for the procurement of new Metrocars that Nexus is considering are:- Outright purchase by Nexus; Purchase through an operating contract with a Train Operating Company; and Leasing from a Rolling Stock Manufacturer.

2 The first two of these options would entail Nexus owning the fleet either at the outset or at some future point which given the bespoke nature of the Metro infrastructure is probably the most likely procurement route. It is intended that the final detailed specification will set out a reference case for new rail vehicles. This will require potential suppliers to submit bids based on the reference case thereby enabling a transparent comparison of cost and quality. However, this process will not preclude the submission of variant bids that deviate from the reference case, helping ensure that market innovation is not curtailed. This Outline Specification describes the principal functional, performance and interface requirements for a new vehicle. The requirements are performance based and do not prescribe the solutions or design to be used unless that prescription is necessary to ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure which would be impractical to alter (e,g. diameter of the Newcastle city centre tunnels) or for operational reasons. In addition, aspects of the specification for which public consultation would be appropriate have been identified. The results will be used to inform the detailed specification. Metro is an important part of life in Tyne and Wear and the contribution of users to the final layout of the new vehicles will be a crucial part of successful delivery. The specification has been split in to a number of sections as follows:- Approvals and Standards Vehicle Architecture Vehicle Performance Vehicle Systems Infrastructure Interfaces Section A Section A sets out the elements of the fleet which will for part of the public consultation process 1. Vehicle Architecture Some aspects of the vehicle, such as the basic dimensions of the new rail vehicles are specific in order to be compatible with existing infrastructure constraints; for example the maximum height of the vehicle in order to ensure it fits through the central corridor tunnels. These elements will not form part of the consultation process. Other aspects, subject to requirements set out in the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulation (RVAR) will be consulted on, for example the layout of the seating, the amount of interior space dedicated to various uses, e.g. seating, standing space, luggage areas NEX-RS-75 The overall length as stated in NEX-RS-65 shall have a passenger carrying capacity of at least 560 persons comprising a maximum of 256 seated and 304 standing but a 10% variation in the split between seated and standing would be acceptable.
