3 Executive summary Key messages The rail industry in Great Britain and its supply chain employ 212,000 people, generating 9.3bn of gross value added (GVA) a year. The rail sector returns 3.9bn in tax to the Exchequer a year, offsetting nearly all of the 4bn that it receives in government funding. 1 The sector provides benefits worth up to 13bn a year to its passenger and freight users. The sector contributes considerable enduring benefits to the productive potential of the economy, including alleviating congestion in the road network and facilitating the development of clusters of economic activity. has valued these benefits at up to 10.2bn a year. In addition to the economic impacts, the rail sector delivers significant environmental and social benefits. The sector reduces CO 2 emissions by up to 7.4m tonnes, valued at 430m annually. It also lowers the numbers of people killed or seriously injured on the transport network in Great Britain (relative to what would be expected to happen if those journeys were made by car or lorry) by up to 950 a year, valued at 330m annually. The sector has been highly resilient in the recent recession, performing better than the rail sectors in other large European countries (despite the UK experiencing a more significant reduction in national gross domestic product, GDP), and better than in previous recessions. The industry model changed in the mid-1990s from one of public ownership to the current model, where freight operating companies (FOCs) compete for freight contracts, and passenger services are largely specified by the government and delivered by train operating companies (TOCs). First Railtrack, and then Network Rail, have managed the rail infrastructure, with the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) regulating both bodies in turn. While it is difficult to be precise about the impact of the change in industry model, has estimated that it may have provided benefits of up to 7.2bn in Source:. By most measures, the GB rail sector is a success. 2 Over the last 20 years, since the creation of the new industry model (in which freight rail services are operated by competing FOCs, passenger rail services are specified by the government and delivered by the TOCs, and first Railtrack and then Network Rail have managed the infrastructure, with the ORR regulating both in turn), the number of passenger journeys has risen, and now stands at 115% higher than it was 20 years ago. 3 The distance travelled by trains has increased by 36% over the same period, and there has been an improvement in safety and an 1 All monetary values in this report are in 2013 prices. 2 Throughout this report, the rail industry refers to the combination of passenger TOCs, FOCs and Network Rail.

4 increase in passenger satisfaction. 4 There has also been a 70% increase over this time period in the amount of freight transported by rail. 5 The rail sector plays an important role in providing employment across Great Britain, both directly in the industry (through employment by TOCs, FOCs and Network Rail) and in the supply chain. In addition, as a key component of the transport infrastructure in Great Britain, the rail industry provides significant economic benefits by enabling other sectors of the economy to be more productive. Despite the importance of the rail sector to the UK economy, its economic impact has not been analysed at a national level, although some studies have considered parts of the sector or parts of Great Britain. 6 To fill this gap in the literature, the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) 7 commissioned to provide an independent assessment of the contribution of the GB rail industry to the UK economy. This report looks at the impact of the rail sector on the UK economy from different perspectives, including: the employment, tax, investment and GVA generated by the sector (the economic footprint ); the benefits that accrue to passenger and freight users of the rail network from the consumption of the products and services of the rail sector (the user benefits ); the long-term effects of the sector on the wider economy i.e. the benefits outside the rail sector (the wider economic impacts ); the environmental and social impacts of the sector. The RDG also asked to provide analysis of two other issues: the rail industry s performance in the recent recession compared with previous recessions, and relative to rail industries in other European countries; the economic impacts that arose from the change in the industry model in the mid-1990s. The economic footprint: the contribution of the rail industry and its supply chain There is some overlap between the first three perspectives outlined above, so they should not be simply added together. This is because, while the economic footprint captures the impact of the rail sector on the economy in the short term, it does not reflect the likelihood that, if the rail sector were smaller, the resources 4 Based on data from 1997/98 to 2012/13; for passenger satisfaction, the data is measured from Association of Train Operating Companies (2013), Passenger rail: dataset on financial performance, passenger benefits, and value of franchising model 1997/ /12, 10 July. 5 Measured in net tonnes per km. KPMG (2014), Keeping the lights on and the traffic moving: Sustaining the benefits of rail freight for the UK economy. The process for freight privatisation was different to that for passenger services (see section 6). 6 For example, Network Rail (2010), Value and importance of rail freight, July; and University of Strathclyde (2013), Scotrail economic and performance impacts, , a report to Scotrail from the Fraser of Allander Institute, September. 7 The Rail Delivery Group is an association of Great Britain s TOCs, FOCs and Network Rail, and provides leadership to the industry.
5 (labour, capital, land, etc.) that are currently used in providing rail services would be used elsewhere in the economy. Nevertheless, this economic footprint provides an important guide to the size of the rail sector and the effects that it has on the national economy. has used data from Network Rail and the FOCs and TOCs, together with national accounts from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), to measure the employment and GVA created by the rail sector. The conclusions from this analysis are that: the rail industry and its supply chain employ 212,000 people, generating 9.3bn of GVA a year; the rail industry and its supply chain generate 3.9bn of tax a year, offsetting nearly all the 4bn of public support provided to the industry. User benefits An alternative approach is to consider the benefits that accrue to passenger and freight users of rail services. 8 To quantify the user benefits, it is necessary to specify a counterfactual i.e. what would happen if the rail industry were smaller against which the benefits can be compared. In standard economic appraisal where the objective is to calculate the economic impact, one would typically consider a counterfactual in which the industry does not exist. However, a counterfactual of no rail sector, while providing valuable insights into the size of the sector in the economy, is not a realistic option for evaluating the impact of different policy scenarios, and it is very difficult to estimate what a no railway situation would look like. Therefore, to provide an indication of the magnitude of the impact of the sector, has considered two additional counterfactuals, where passenger and freight volumes on the network are 10% and 50% lower. The volumes of passenger and freight traffic on the rail network might decline as a result of fewer rail links, an increase in price, an increase in journey time due to fewer trains or lower frequency or a reduction in the quality of the network (e.g. more crowded trains). These scenarios should not be considered as representing the outcomes from any particular policy choices, but should rather be considered as indications of the sorts of costs that may arise as a result of policies that have the effect of reducing rail traffic by these volumes. Of course, a decline in rail traffic of 50% would only be likely to arise from a major shock (or shocks) to the rail sector. has estimated that the user benefits of the rail industry are between 1.3bn (arising from a 10% reduction in traffic) and 13bn (if there was no rail industry) for passengers (leisure, business and commuter) and freight users. 8 Technically, the consumer surplus.
6 Wider economic impacts The wider economic impacts describe how the rail sector facilitates increased output in the rest of the economy. This is one of the factors that makes transport different from many other sectors of the economy if the rail sector were smaller, not only would there be a loss to the economy from the reduced economic footprint (which would be likely to be relatively short-lived as resources would be used elsewhere in the economy), but productivity in other sectors of the economy would also be likely to decline. In assessing these effects, has used the same counterfactuals as in the user benefits analysis outlined above. There are a number of well-established mechanisms by which the rail sector improves the long-run productive potential of the rest of the economy, as follows. Reduced congestion on the road network: the existence of the rail sector reduces congestion on the road network for both passenger and freight users. s analysis indicates that the value of this reduced congestion is between 0.9bn (the 10% reduction in rail scenario) and 12bn (the 100% reduction in rail scenario) a year, of which just over one-third could be allocated to business users and freight, providing a benefit to the economy. Increased agglomeration benefits: rail services lead to an increase in the density of employment (i.e. the number of employees in a particular area, such as a city centre). This typically raises the productivity of these employees through information- and knowledge-sharing. This increase in productivity is estimated to be worth between 0.1bn and 1.4bn to the UK economy each year. Increased output: the rail sector reduces transport costs relative to making the same journey by road, 9 which would result in an increase in output in other sectors of the economy. This benefit is assessed to be between 40m and 400m a year. In addition to these mechanisms, there are a number of other ways in which the rail sector may lead to increased productivity in the economy. For instance, the provision of rail services may enhance trade between firms. Therefore, one can also consider the benefits to the UK economy by adopting a top-down perspective i.e. considering the total impact without separating out the different mechanisms that contribute to that total in order to capture the mechanisms above as well as additional effects. Overall, estimates that the rail sector may contribute between 0.9bn and 10.2bn a year to the UK economy from the wider economic impacts. Social and environmental impacts The rail sector also provides environmental and social benefits to the UK. This report focuses on a subset of the social and environmental effects of rail, including the effects on journey quality, the number of accidents, accessibility and resilience, greenhouse gas emissions, noise and air quality. has used the same counterfactuals in this section as for the analysis of user benefits and the wider economic impacts. s analysis suggests that: the rail sector produces significant environmental benefits, saving between 0.7m and 7.4m tonnes of carbon emissions a year. This is valued at between 9 For those journeys made by rail and accounting for the total (generalised) cost.
7 40m and 430m annually. The noise and air quality benefits provided by the rail sector have not been quantified; the rail sector leads to a reduced number of serious or fatal accidents of between approximately 95 and 950 a year (compared with a situation where the journeys were made by road), valued at between approximately 33m and 330m annually. Performance in recession It is informative to examine how the rail sector performed in the recent recession, relative both to previous recessions and to the sector in other European countries. Both the passenger and freight areas of the sector performed strongly during the recession, relative to performance in previous recessions. Passenger operations performed substantially better than would have been expected from previous recessions, and continued to exhibit strong growth for much of the recession, despite declines in GDP and employment. While this has been a pattern repeated across the comparator countries, passenger volumes in the UK have increased by more than in European comparator countries, despite the UK experiencing a more severe recession than other countries. While freight operations saw volumes decline during the recent recession, they performed better than in previous recessions. In contrast to many other European countries, they also maintained their market share relative to other forms of transport. While it is not possible to conclude on the basis of these statistics alone that this improvement in performance is due to the differences in the industry model from those in previous recessions and other European countries, it seems likely that a good deal of the improvement could be attributable to the change in the industry model. Change in the industry model As set out above, prior to the mid-1990s, the rail industry in Great Britain was owned and run by the public sector. However, in the mid-1990s, the industry model changed to one in which the government specifies the passenger services to be delivered, and the TOCs provide these services, with the FOCs competing in an open market. The infrastructure has been owned first by Railtrack and then by Network Rail, with both being regulated by the ORR. 10 The figure below illustrates the change in passenger rail journeys and rail freight in Great Britain since 1970/71. As can be seen, the average growth rate since the mid-1990s is greater than before the mid-1990s. The important question is then to what extent the change in the industry model caused the increase in average growth (as the change in ownership per se is unlikely to be sufficient to increase revenue). 10 There have been a number of changes in the precise way in which the public sector specifies the passenger services that it wishes to procure.

Source: ORR. To answer this question, it is necessary to specify the counterfactual i.e. what would have happened to the passenger and freight aspects of the rail sector in the absence of the change in industry model in the mid-1990s. As with any exercise of this type, there are many possible counterfactuals, with different implications for the extent of the benefits provided by the change in the industry model. For this reason, has developed a transparent set of assumptions around the counterfactual, which generates a range of effects that cannot be attributed to the nature of the industry model, and thus suggests what effects the change itself might have had. Nevertheless, there remains significant uncertainty as to how the rail sector would have evolved, and therefore the estimates presented in this report should be considered indicative and the area would benefit significantly from further research. For freight operations, given the decline in freight volumes prior to the introduction of the new industry model, and the significant changes since then, it does not seem unreasonable to attribute most of the change in trend in volumes to the change in the industry model. However, the picture for passenger operations is more complex, given the much greater role of the government in specifying the services to be run, controlling the level of certain fares, and determining the amount of public investment. Therefore, s approach to estimating the extent to which the increased passenger growth observed since the mid-1990s is attributable to the change in the industry model has been to calculate the percentage of that growth that can be explained by factors outside the control of the rail sector (using standard industry approaches). Our analysis starts by identifying the difference in the average annual growth rate between the 20 years prior to the change in the industry model and the
9 nearly 20 years since. This figure, which is broadly robust to selecting different time periods, is approximately 4%. We then assessed the extent to which this difference in growth could be accounted for by factors outside the sector s control, including the macroeconomy and the cost of owning and using a car. This analysis suggests that approximately 2% a year of the growth in passenger rail demand since the mid-1990s can be explained by these factors. 11 The difference between the increased growth rate and the changes outside the control of the sector is likely to be explained by a number of factors, including: factors not adequately captured in the demand forecasting framework; the change in the industry model; changes that would have happened anyway had the industry model not changed. There have been some substantial changes in the rail industry since the change in the industry model, including: access to larger volumes of private sector capital (particularly investment in rolling stock); the establishment of five-year funding periods for Network Rail (and, importantly, a move away from annual expenditure limits), which has enabled continued government support to the industry even when the funding of the Department for Transport (DfT) was being reduced in marked contrast to the pattern during the period when British Rail (BR) was in operation (i.e. before the change in the industry model); a change in the incentives on TOCs to grow the market and reduce costs where possible, with contractualised levels of funding for the duration of the franchise; increases in costs, offset by increases in government funding and revenue growth, which have enabled the average price per passenger mile to be held at a similar level since the change in the industry model; the availability of heavily discounted advance fares. Given the uncertainty inherent in any exercise of this type, has assessed the implications of 25 75% of the difference between the growth attributed to the factors outside of the control in the industry and the increased growth in passenger demand around the mid-1990s being attributed to the change in the industry model. A qualitative assessment of the factors above including access to multi-year funding agreements with government and private capital, and contractual incentives to grow the market and improve passenger experience suggests that the evidence would support a value towards the upper end of this range. As outlined above, the extent to which these features of the sector have arisen (or been adopted faster) because of the change in the industry model, and the 11 Specifically, we have used parameters from the Passenger Demand Forecasting Handbook (PDFH) to calculate the impact on rail demand from changes in fuel costs for car users, changes in car ownership, GDP per capita, employment, and population growth over this period.
10 extent to which they would have happened anyway under BR, is a matter of some debate (but not one that can be settled by this report). The key question is the extent to which these changes were caused by the change in the industry model. It is possible that these changes would have occurred in the absence of the change in the industry model, but any assessment will need to take a view on the likelihood of this happening. Through the same mechanisms as explained in the section on user benefits, the effect of this change for both passengers and freight traffic can be calculated as between 2.2bn and 7.2bn in Reflecting the evidence above, s assessment is that the actual impact is likely to be towards the upper end of this range. Conclusions This report, produced by for the RDG, has analysed the economic contribution of the rail sector to the UK economy, reviewed the performance of the sector in the recent recession relative to previous recessions and the rail sectors in other European countries, and quantified the benefits arising from the change in the industry model in the mid-1990s. The economic contribution of the industry is split into three perspectives: the contribution of the industry and its supply chain, which is the employment of approximately 212,000 people, the generation of 9.3bn in GVA each year, and the provision of 3.9bn of tax revenue to the Exchequer; up to 13bn in benefits to passengers and freight users a year; up to 10.2bn worth of additional productivity in the economy, which arises through the impact of the rail industry on other sectors of the economy. The sector has performed better during the most recent recession than in previous recessions. While it is difficult to infer from the statistics that this is purely due to the change in the industry model, it seems likely that this change contributed to the improved performance. In addition, using a set of plausible assumptions, the change in the industry model is thought to have delivered up to 345m additional passenger journeys of a total of approximately 1.6bn (or one in five journeys), and economic benefits of up to 7.2bn in 2013, through higher passenger and freight volumes. This increase in passenger and freight volumes may be due to a combination of greater stability of government funding and greater access to private capital over an extended period of time, together with incentives on TOCs and FOCs to grow the market.

14 1 1 Introduction By most measures, the rail industry in Great Britain is a success. 12 Over the last 20 years, since the creation of a new industry model (described in section 7), the volume of passengers carried on the railway has risen significantly, and is now 115% higher than it was 20 years ago. 13 The distance travelled by trains has increased by 36% since the change in the industry model, and at the same time there has been an improvement in safety and an increase in passenger satisfaction. 14 There has also been a 70% increase in the amount of freight transported by rail over this period. 15 In 2012/13, total passenger revenue was 7.7bn and total freight revenue was 0.9bn. 16 The structure of the rail sector is set out in Figure 1.1.

However, as the overall impact of the sector has not been analysed at a national level, the extent of these benefits is unknown. Therefore, the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) commissioned to provide an independent assessment of the role of the GB rail industry and its contribution to the economy. 12 In this report, the rail industry is defined as TOC, FOCs and Network Rail. The rail sector refers to the industry and the supply chain. 13 ORR National Rail Trends, Passenger journeys by year, available at: accessed 26 June Based on data from 1997/98 to 2012/13, except for passenger satisfaction, where the data is measured from Association of Train Operating Companies (2013), Passenger rail: dataset on financial performance, passenger benefits, and value of franchising model 1997/ /12, 10 July. 15 Measured in net tonne km.

15 2 This report considers two key issues: the impact on the economy; and comparison between recessions and between countries. The impact on the economy The report looks at the impact of the rail sector on the economy, which can be considered from several perspectives. One is through the scale of the rail industry and its supply chain, which is analysed by considering employment, tax, investment and gross value added (GVA) generated by the sector. This is referred to as its economic footprint. The scale of the rail sector and its spending does not, in itself, provide an indication of its overall implications for the economy. For example, if the resources (people, land, etc.) involved in producing rail services would otherwise have been deployed in other, equally productive, sectors of the economy, there would be no overall economic benefit from the rail sector. The full benefit depends on the value of the services that the railway provides to users, as well as the effect on productivity in other sectors of the economy. s approach to estimating the impact of the rail sector is illustrated in Figure 1.2. Figure 1.2 Conceptual framework Direct effects Indirect effects Structural changes Congestion Economic footprint Increased productivity Business user benefits Agglomeration Environmental and social impacts Long -term economic Increased impacts productivity Full effects Other user benefits Source:. These concepts and measures are covered in sections 2 to 5 below. 17 Section 2 relates to the rail industry s economic footprint, covering the resources used in the industry, and the income that it generates, together with the supply chain. User benefits (section 3) and wider economic impacts (section 4) measure the value of rail services to users and the wider economy, which together determine the overall impact of rail on the economy. There are also environmental and social benefits of the rail sector, which are discussed in section Appendices A1 and A2 provide further technical details on the estimation.
16 3 Comparison between recessions and between countries In section 6, the report then analyses how the rail sector in Great Britain fared in the recent recession relative to its performance in previous recessions, and the rail sectors in other European countries. Section 7 considers the benefits produced by the current industry model, and how these benefits differ from those that may have been created under a public ownership model. We consider how the demand and supply of rail services might have evolved since the mid-1990s under both models. This enables us to provide an indicative estimate of the proportion of the current benefits to the sector of the change in the industry model 20 years ago.
17 4 2 Economic footprint This section discusses the direct and indirect contributions of the rail sector to the UK economy. Together, these effects are termed the sector s economic footprint. The key results from this section are outlined in the box below. Further details on methodology are included in Appendix A1. Key findings The rail sector plays a significant role in the UK economy through a direct contribution of the rail industry from the activities of TOCs, FOCs and Network Rail, and through an indirect contribution from the economic activity of the supply chain. The rail industry and its supply chain employ 212,000 people, generating 9.3bn of GVA a year. 18 The industry and its supply chain also provide significant tax contributions of 3.9bn a year, offsetting nearly all of the government funding to the sector. 2.1 Approach to measuring the economic footprint The economic footprint of the rail sector can be divided into two parts: a direct impact, which measures the economic value of the activities and output of the rail industry essentially, the resources used in the rail industry to deliver services, including employment. This includes the TOCs, 19 the FOCs and Network Rail; an indirect impact, which measures the value of the resources in the domestic (i.e. within Great Britain) supply chain used by the rail industry to undertake its activities. This includes industries such as rolling stock (leasing and maintenance), train manufacturers and those companies supplying materials to manufacturers, cleaners, and retailers. The scale of the rail sector and the number of employees does not, in itself, provide an indication of its overall implications for the economy. For example, if the resources (people, land, etc.) involved would otherwise have been deployed in other, equally productive, sectors of the economy, there would be no overall economic benefit from the rail sector. Therefore, ideally one would need to compare what those same resources would deliver if they were instead used elsewhere in the economy, which would enable estimation of net rather than gross effects. Likewise, if there are other changes in the structure of the economy as a result of the redeployment of those resources (for example, due to trade or tourism), these should to be taken into account to determine the overall benefit attributable to the rail sector (see section 4). However, given the complexity of such an analysis, it is standard in exercises of this type to present the gross impact (i.e. not to consider what the resources would do if they were redeployed elsewhere in the economy). 18 All monetary values in this report are in 2013 values, unless otherwise stated. 19 This does not include Eurostar, due to the difficulty in determining the relevant domestic contribution. It does include London Overground or the open access operators (Grand Central and Hull Trains), or Heathrow Express.
18 5 A number of indicators that can be used to consider the economic contribution of the rail sector for this purpose are discussed below for each of the direct and indirect impacts. 2.2 Direct impact of the rail sector The direct impact of the rail sector can be measured in various ways, and includes the impact of the 57bn passenger km travelled on rail, 270,000 freight train movements, and the operation of 2,495 stations per annum. 20 The direct impacts are estimated using industry and company accounts, consultant reports and annual accounts, and Office for National Statistics (ONS) data. More detail for each of the indicators is provided in the following subsections Employment The level of employment in a sector is a key aspect of its economic contribution. This is relatively simple to measure by adding together the numbers of those employed by companies deemed to be operating in the sector. has calculated the direct employment impact by using employment data for Network Rail, TOCs and FOCs. 21 The total amount of direct employment is approximately 93,000, broken down as indicated in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1 Direct employment, 2011/12 Network Rail TOCs Source: Annual accounts, ORR National Rail Trends and Rail Industry Monitor GVA FOCs GVA indicates the value of outputs created by the industry, less the costs of inputs purchased. 22 In essence, GVA represents the sum of profits and wages (pre-tax) generated as a result of the economic activity of a sector or the economy overall. 20 Office of Rail Regulation (2013), GB rail industry financial information , April; and ORR National Rail Trends. 21 All figures used in this section are based on 2011/12 data. 22 GVA plus taxes on products minus subsidies on products equals gross domestic product (GDP).
19 6 The direct contribution of the rail sector, in terms of its GVA, is recorded in the national accounts produced by the ONS. For the purposes of this assessment, the rail sector is defined as comprising the ONS class Rail transport services (SIC ) and part of the class Warehousing and support services for transportation (SIC 52). 23 This second SIC class represents the activities of Network Rail that ultimately feed into the rail sector. This is estimated as being worth an additional 1.4bn of direct GVA based on the size of the interaction between those two sectors. While there is activity related to the rail sector in other ONS SIC classes, these contain significant amounts of non-rail activities and have therefore been excluded in calculating the direct impact (although they are included in calculating the indirect effect). 24 has calculated direct GVA as 5.8bn a year Tax contribution The capacity to generate tax is also important to consider in terms of the industry s direct impact on the economy. has estimated a total annual corporation tax contribution of 90m a year, with the TOCs making up approximately 80% of that total. 25 Data on income taxes the largest of which are pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) income taxes and national insurance contributions (NICs) is not available directly from company accounts. However, it is possible to calculate indicative estimates of these using data from the ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earning (ASHE). 26 has used ASHE data on the number of employees and mean gross incomes to estimate the total gross wages of the employees of the TOCs, the FOCs and Network Rail. These are compared to total wages across all sectors in the economy to give an estimate of the share of wages in the rail sector. PAYE income tax and NICs are assumed to be distributed in the same way across sectors. This approach results in an estimated 642m in PAYE income tax and 494m in NICs from the industry activity. TOCs account for the majority of this, making up 55% of the total, while Network Rail accounts for a further 35%. The breakdown of taxes between the various entities is shown in Figure 2.2 below. The rail industry also makes significant contributions to other tax receipts. As many of these other taxes are levied on transactions or specific assets, it is difficult to estimate robustly receipts based on data in the sector accounts. Using data from the Office for Budget Responsibility, 27 estimates that these other receipts total 272bn in Assuming that the rail industry contributes to other taxes and duties in line with its contribution to overall national GVA, this would add another 1.2bn in tax receipts. 23 Network Rail is included in SIC class 52 among other non-rail activities. has therefore included all of SIC in calculating the direct impact, and a pro-rata amount of SIC 52 based on the share of Network Rail employment in total industry employment in SIC 52. A similar approach to incorporating SIC 52 is used in other calculations in this section. 24 Due to the highly interrelated nature of the two classes used to define the broader rail sector, it is possible that there is some double-counting of economic impact. The results presented here should be treated as an upper bound. 25 Based on the Rail Industry Monitor and Network Rail (2012), Network Rail Infrastructure Limited Annual Report and Accounts This approach does not account for the distribution of income across the sector. 27 Office for Budget Responsibility (2013), Economic and fiscal outlook charts and tables, March

Source:. In total, tax receipts from the industry are approximately 2.4bn Investment FOCs TOCs Network Rail The investment undertaken by the rail industry is calculated by considering capital expenditure (CAPEX) for the TOCs, the FOCs, and Network Rail. 29 has calculated that direct investment by the rail industry was approximately 5bn in 2011/12. Most of this investment is undertaken by Network Rail, which receives grant funding from the government as well as income from private operators and passengers. 2.3 Indirect impact of the rail supply chain Calculating the indirect impact of the rail supply chain is less straightforward than calculating the direct impact of the rail industry, as data on the indirect impacts is not collected by companies or a statistical authority. Indirect effects take account of the links between the rail industry and the sectors that make up its supply chain, and represent the economic impact of firms that supply the rail industry but do not produce rail services themselves. The broad approach that has used to estimate the indirect impact is outlined in Box 2.1, with further details provided in Appendix A1. 28 In this report, direct tax refers to tax generated by the industry, while indirect tax refers to tax generated by the supply chain. This is not the standard use of the terms direct and indirect tax in the tax literature, but it is consistent with the nomenclature adopted elsewhere in this report. 29 For Network Rail, this includes renewals and enhancement CAPEX. For the TOCs and the FOCs, it includes investment in rolling stock, land and buildings, fixtures and equipment, and other assets.
21 8 Box 2.1 Estimating the indirect impact To assess the impact of one industry on another, input output (IO) tables can be used. This is a widely used methodology in impact assessment of an industry or a policy. An IO table represents the relationships across sectors in an economy between the use of resources in production and consumption, and provides a picture of the flows of products and services in the economy. For example, it shows the amount of insulated wire and cable sector services used in the production of one unit of rail services. These production relationships, which are given for the whole economy, and which form the basis of the indirect contribution of rail, are represented in the ONS s Analytical IO tables. 30 The first step of the estimation uses the Analytical IO tables to calculate the amount of gross output produced in the economy from a given level of rail input through its supply chain. The indirect GVA generated by rail in the economy is then assessed from the amount of value added corresponding to the output produced by each sector. The latest version of the Analytical IO tables presents such relationships disaggregated by 127 sectors for the year Source: Employment To estimate the total employment of the rail supply chain, the supply chain is aggregated into groups for which employment data is available from the ONS s Business Population Estimates dataset. The level of total employment is then calculated as the number of employees that would produce the level of GVA outlined below, given the level of productivity in each part of the rail supply chain. As discussed above, direct employment has been sourced from company accounts. Indirect employment is then calculated as the difference between total and direct employment. The data suggests that the rail supply chain is responsible for approximately 120,000 employees GVA The estimates of indirect output can be used to estimate the indirect GVA from the rail supply chain based on the assumption that the ratio of GVA to output is constant. On this basis, the total estimate for the indirect GVA for the rail supply chain is 3.5bn. As noted in section 2.2.2, this estimate has been calculated by summing the indirect output and GVA of the rail transport services SIC code. The 1.4bn that was added to direct GVA to represent the activities of Network Rail has been removed from the estimate of indirect GVA to avoid double counting Tax contribution As with employment and GVA, it is possible to calculate indicative estimates of income tax revenues using the results of the IO modelling. The tax year 2011/12 corresponds most closely to the IO model results. In this year, HMRC collected a total of 132bn in PAYE tax receipts. The total (direct plus indirect) PAYE contribution of the rail sector has been estimated using HMRC s published 30 See accessed 26 June These tables were published in Two sectors ( activities of household as employers and public administration ) are not covered by the Business Population Estimates. These sectors are therefore excluded from the analysis. 33 This is less an adjustment for Network Rail s output that would not be sold to the rail sector.
22 9 statistics on the distribution of PAYE receipts by sector of the economy. These are then factored by the share of the rail supply chain in the total GVA for each sector of the economy and scaled by the labour share of production in the relevant sectors. 34 This results in an estimate for both direct and indirect PAYE. Subtracting the direct PAYE estimate from section suggests that PAYE receipts from the rail supply chain totalled 407m in 2011/12. The total (direct plus indirect) corporation tax contribution of the rail sector is estimated using a similar methodology. However, HMRC data on corporation tax payments is not available in the same breakdown as the ONS input output data. 35 It is possible to estimate the rail supply chain s corporation tax by factoring the share of the rail supply chain in the total GVA for each SIC code by each SIC code s gross operating surplus (GOS). 36 This provides an estimate for the total GOS for direct and indirect rail activity as a share of the whole economy, and the estimate of corporation tax is derived under the assumption that corporation tax is distributed in a similar way to GOS. Subtracting the direct corporation tax estimate outlined in section from the direct and indirect tax contribution suggests that corporation tax payments from the rail supply chain accounted for 119m in 2011/12. This estimate should be treated as indicative, however, because although GOS broadly represents capital returns in the national accounts, it is not equivalent to taxable profit, and different activities will attract varying rates of effective corporation tax (for example, due to varying rates of capital allowances or other deductable expenses). As with corporation tax, NIC payments by SIC code are not available. To estimate indirect NIC contributions, it is assumed that NICs will vary in proportion to Compensation of Employees (COS), which is the measure of returns to labour used in GVA calculations. As with corporation tax, this estimate should be treated as indicative. The data suggests that NICs from the rail supply chain are 337m. Using the methodology outlined in 2.2.3, estimates that the total contribution to other taxes from the rail supply chain is 0.7bn. Taken together, these estimates suggest a tax contribution from the rail supply chain of 1.6bn in 2011/ Summary has considered several indicators of the economic footprint of the rail sector. The measures are closely related to one another and can provide an initial illustration of the importance of the sector. calculates that the direct effect from rail, and the indirect effects from the rail supply chain, generate 9.3bn of GVA for the UK economy, create employment of 212,000 jobs, 37 and produce tax receipts of 3.9bn, as shown in Figure This scaling factor is based on the return to labour (Compensation of Employees) as a share of total GVA relative to the average across the whole economy. It takes into account the differing levels of labour intensity across sectors. 35 HMRC uses the Standard Trade Classification (STC) coding system rather than the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). 36 GOS is the primary measure of returns to capital. 37 Numbers may not sum due to rounding. 38 These are gross figures. Net figures could be determined by considering how the resources and employees in the rail sector would be redeployed in the absence of the sector.

Chennai, Feb 13: The rift between Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Sahara is likely to end as sources confirm that the BCCI has agreed to offer a replacement for Yuvraj Singh, who is currently undergoing treatment for germ-cell cancer at US, in Pune Warriors for the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
According to an English News channel, BCCI, during the working committee meeting on Monday, is said to have accepted Sahara's demand, for a replacement of Pune Warriors' captain Yuvraj.
"Times Now", a leading news channel also stated that BCCI will not allow Sahara for backing out on bank guarantee.
Sahara snapped its sponsorship deal with Team India following a few issues that led to the fall out after a 11-year association with BCCI.
Sahara had renewed a sponsorship agreement with the BCCI on July 1, 2010 which was valid till December 31, 2013 and was paying Rs. 3.34 crore per Test match, one-day international and Twenty20 International according to the new terms which is worth Rs 532 crore.
The franchise has also agreed to pay Yuvraj, his salary for the fifth edition of the IPL too, who will not be playing this season. In return, the franchise wanted Yuvraj's salary of USD 1.8 million to be added to their purse, which had USD 1.6 million instead of the usual $2 million after they spent USD 400,000 on retaining Sourav Ganguly, by naming him the captain of the Pune Warriors for the fifth edition.

Final journey to the coast.
The ex HMAS Adelaide left Sydney harbour a little after 6 am on Monday 11th of April, 2011.
Her presence under Sydney Harbour bridge was a spectacular site and when she passed the Sydney Opera house on her journey the vision was intense.
She was escorted out of the harbour by a small spectator fleet on her final journey and eventual scuttling on the NSW Central Coast to begin a new life as an artificial reef.
The ex-HMAS Adelaide had been stripped, cleaned and made dive ready. Over the next few days, diver access holes would be completed and the navies former warship the HMAS Adelaide II, would be scuttled to become an artificial reef.
Media attention was high and all Sydney channels took the opportunity to farewell the vessel and this vision was seen all around the world. I received calls from China, Scotland and America from friends and allies also a few- not so friendly, who watched the scuttling event on their local news stations, live on television.
Check out the video below where we picked up the ex HMAS Adelaide off Palm Beach near Broken bay for her journey north.
Check out the further videos for more information of the ex HMAS Adelaide.

Howard Norman
Howard Norman is an American translator, novelist, essayist and author of children's literature.
He was born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1949 and grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan,[1] but as a young man he moved to Toronto and lived in Canada for many years, spending much time among native peoples in the Canadian wilderness. As a result of his long residence in Canada, much of his fiction is set there. Norman attended Western Michigan University and Indiana University. He has published numerous translations and retellings of the stories of native peoples of Canada as illustrated books for children. The Wishing Bone Cycle (1976) won the Harold Morton Landon Translation Prize from the Academy of American Poets.[2] His books Northern Lights and The Bird Artist were both nominated for National Book Awards[3] in Fiction. He has received a Lannan Award for fiction, a Guggenheim, the Whiting Award, as well as several NEA fellowships. Norman is married to poet Jane Shore, with whom he has one daughter. He teaches creative writing at the University of Maryland.[4]
