Responsible for track and other fixed assets and for the day-to-day control and regulation of
train running, Network Rail is the dominant force in the railway in Great Britain. It was established
following the 2002 collapse of Railtrack, and until September 2014 was a state-owned company
limited by guarantee, operating commercially with surpluses re-invested in the business. On
2,560
1st September 2014 the company was reclassified from the private sector to the public sector
following changes to European statistical guidance, and is now a public sector company that
operates as a regulated monopoly. A framework agreement between Network Rail and the
STATIONS DfT sets out how the company will interact in terms of financial management and corporate
governance. Its principal sources of income are track access charges paid by passenger and
freight operators, grants from the DfT and Transport Scotland and commercial property income.
In 2018 Network Rail employed 38,000 people.
The company owns all 2,560 stations on the network. It operates 20 of these including
Birmingham New Street, Manchester Piccadilly, Edinburgh Waverley, Glasgow Central, Leeds,
Bristol Temple Meads and 11 in London. The remainder are managed by train operating
companies.
Network Rail’s devolved route management is structured as eight business units, each with its
own managing director. This enables each business to better align itself to the needs of both
NETWORK RAIL its train operating customers and passengers. Each has responsibility for: safety; operations;
EMPLOYED customer services; asset management outputs and spending; maintenance planning and delivery;
38,000
and delivery of some enhancements and renewals. The 10 business units cover: Anglia; London
NorthEastern & East Midlands; London North Western; Scotland; South East; Wales; Wessex; and
Western. Freight is managed separately.
PEOPLE The route management structure is supported by seven national functions:

In 2012 the company created Network Rail Consulting as a separate business that can draw on
the organisation’s expertise to compete globally for work in the rail sector. More information can

Route Utilisation Strategies (RUSs)
Route Utilisation Strategies (RUSs) have underpinned the network planning process, setting out
long-term strategies for its development in a way that reflects customers’ requirements and is
consistent with the funds available. The original RUS programme (Generation One) covering 17
strategic routes was completed in July 2011.
Changes in the structure of Network Rail led to a redefinition of RUS boundaries, which now
cover 10 devolved routes to form RUS Generation 2. The first RUSs under this programme were
published in 2011, covering London and the South East, Scotland and the North of England.
The most recent document in the series, Network RUS: Alternative Solutions, was published in
July 2013 for public consultation. It examines five main areas for development: further use of
trams; tram trains; hybrid light rail; innovative ideas for electrification; and further expansion of
community rail initiatives.
In the future, the Long Term Planning Process (see below) will take forward the evidence base
used for long-term rail industry planning.
Long Term Planning Process (LTPP)
The LTPP is Network Rail’s method of planning for future demand for rail services, complementing
the RUSs and providing a basis for long-term industry planning up to 30 years ahead. The LTPP
comprises studies of three types:
CROSS-
MARKET ROUTE
BOUNDARY
STUDIES STUDIES
ANALYSES
Network-wide issues, such as technological change, are addressed through a series of network
studies. The studies are expected to provide the main source of proposals put to funders to secure
the long-term capability of the rail network and will also inform franchise specifications and bids.
More information on the LTPP process can be found at: http://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-
