Enhancements Delivery Plan England and Wales Entry Into Service (EIS) schedule June 2020
Network Rail’s obligation
The Enhancements Delivery Plan for England and Wales sets out the enhancements commitments that Network Rail has made to the Department for Transport and to other funders. Its
purpose is to provide transparency about the status of these schemes and to provide visibility of our plans to customers, stakeholders and the public.
Network Rail’s obligation is to publish Entry into Service (EIS) milestones which represent the completion of our works to change the capability of the railway infrastructure. It will be for
passenger and freight operators to decide how and when to begin to use enhanced infrastructure.
In Control Period 6 we will agree enhancements with our funders through the Investment Decision Framework (IDF) and the Department for Transport’s (DfT) Rail Network Enhancement
Pipeline (RNEP) process. These have been developed following the Memorandum of Understanding which was developed and agreed between Network Rail and the DfT in 2016.1
Network Rail and funders will only commit to the delivery of an enhancement once we have developed the programme sufficiently to have a good understanding of its outputs, cost and
scope. This will allow us to make a Final Investment Decision (FID) to deliver these works. As such, EIS milestones will only be published in this plan once a scheme has passed a FID. It is
only at this point that there is sufficient certainty of outputs that NR can reasonably be held to account for the delivery of the programmes.
For all programmes that are yet to reach the point of taking a FID, DfT publish these in their RNEP document, which is updated annually: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rail-
network-enhancements-pipeline-autumn-2019-update
A separate Enhancements Delivery Plan is published to describe our Enhancements obligations in Scotland: https://www.networkrail.co.uk/who-we-are/publications-and-resources/
Contacting Network Rail
One of the reasons that Network Rail publishes an Enhancements Delivery Plan is to provide visibility of funded enhancements to potential third-party investors and to other railway
undertakings to assist them in planning their businesses. Enquiries related to specific schemes for these purposes should be addressed to the Principal Programme Sponsor, or other listed
contact, responsible for each programme. They are named in the document against each programme and their contact details are listed below.

the railway.
Providing valuable opportunities for other organisations to invest in and build on the railway reduces the tax-payer burden. The increased
competition drives down cost, while also increasing efficiency, creativity and innovation.
