The Network Route Utilisation Strategy (Network RUS) is a Route Utilisation Strategy (RUS) produced by Network Rail (NR). The Network RUS is one of only two (the Freight RUS is the other) which have the perspective of the network as whole; most of NR's RUSs are geographical, mainly regional, in nature. Uniquely the Network RUS is divided into four separate workstreams each of which has its own management team and documentary outputs, effectively an RUS in its own right. RUSs are established by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) unless the latter objects within 60 days. As at mid-March 2010 two workstreams had been published and established (the Scenarios & Long Distance Forecasts workstream〔(ORR's letter to NR consenting to establishment of the Scenarios workstream )〕 and the Electrification workstream〔(ORR's letter to NR consenting to establishment of the Electrification workstream )〕); they are consequently included in Network Rail's map as established,〔(Network Rail RUS Programme and Map )〕 and it is expected that the others will be included as they are published and established. By definition the geographic scope is the whole Network Rail network. ==The Scenarios & Long Distance Forecasts workstream== This workstream was published 〔(Network RUS Scenarios & Long Distance Forecasts workstream )〕 in June 2009. Originally it was to be called the Review of RUSs/Long Distance train statement, and an appropriate scoping document was accordingly published on the website. By shortly before the publication of the draft document, the perspective had been changed to Long distance services and Scenarios, and continued to be described as such on the Network Rail map even after publication of the draft, which like the final version had the above title. By the time of the publication of the draft the original scoping document was removed from the website, and not replaced, with no explicit explanation. Unlike other RUSs and the electrification workstream this workstream does not consider any specific rail interventions. Instead the main focus of the document is to promote the concept of the use of 'Scenarios' to help determine possible variations in future demand for rail travel, in particular for trips over 50 miles. In contrast to other RUSs there is no consideration of short-term (CP4) or medium-term factors (CP5); the 'long-term' in passenger demand focussed on is overwhelmingly the year 2036, which is well beyond the time horizon of other RUSs (a single table suggests passenger growth rates to 2021); freight growth is considered to 2031. As with other RUSs, the Scenarios workstream RUS invited responses from interested parties. The NR website acknowledged a number of responses, including the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR).〔(ORR's response to Scenarios & Long Distance Forecasts workstream consultation )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Network Route Utilisation Strategy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
