It is a matter for the independent regulator, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), to assess the effectiveness of NR’s maintenance activity and its impact on the performance of the rail network. ORR reports every six months on its assessment of how Network Rail is performing in the “Network Rail Monitor”, which is available on the ORR’s website at ORR.gov.uk.
