Ten Years of Network Rail

• Safety - took over in a period of crisis. Now we have one of the safest

railways in Europe as a result of taking maintenance in-house and

projects to share best practice such as Safety 365

• Our People – our leadership and management development centres

have improved staff training; we developed a nationally admired

apprenticeship programme and increased graduate recruitment; and we

have opened our new National Centre at Milton Keynes.

• Projects – we have become world class in the delivery of major

infrastructure projects and plan to use these skills abroad.

• Performance – with a million more trains carrying a billion more

passengers, we have taken performance from c.75% to over 90%.

The railway is a success…

…but passenger and freight demand is expected to continue to increase (by 15% and 30 % respectively over Control Period 5)

The challenge for the rail industry is how to deliver the network capacity and capability we need for the future:

• efficiency

• cost-effectively; and

• at a time when public finances will be increasingly constrained

The Government has shown it is committed to investment in rail if the industry can substantially reduce its costs – they know rail can help drive sustainable long-term economic growth.
