Following the publication of a paper by ATOC regarding the reform of the rail industry, Network Rail have responded with a statement.
A Network Rail spokesperson said: “Just a fortnight ago Network Rail announced it is changing its structure and business to better align itself to the needs of both its customers and passengers by creating a number of new, powerful, devolved business units run by route managing directors.
“Network Rail has been playing a vital role in the government’s McNulty review into value for money for the railway and is committed to change. By better aligning risk and reward with passenger, freight and open access operators and by improving transparency across the whole industry, we can all help each other succeed and deliver not only a bigger and better railway, but a better value railway too.”
