Business Units will be the powerhouse of Great British Railways (GBR), bringing together today’s infrastructure management functions provided by Network Rail, and passenger operations currently led by train operating companies, into a single local team with an accountable leader.

The detailed design process is underway, including determining the geographic make-up of GBR’s Business Units, and hence their number.
