Railways: Management

(asked on 26th June 2018) - View Source

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has plans to improve the strategic management of the railways; and if he will make a statement.


This question was answered on 4th July 2018

The Department’s 2017 paper ‘Connecting people: a strategic vision for rail’ details the Government’s approach to improving the management of the railways, including the creation of long-term partnerships between the public sector and private partners to improve the service that passengers receive, continuing the Government’s programme of significant investment to improve rail performance, and the transformation of Network Rail into a more responsive, locally-focused company.

In March 2018 we built on this by announcing an improved approach to railway enhancements, creating a rolling programme of investment to improve planning, deliverability and efficiency, and opening up the development and delivery of rail infrastructure.
