Periodic review 2013: Draft determination of Network Rail's outputs and funding for 2014-19
Reference:
ORR/009/2013
Date published: 12 June 2013
Start date: 12 June 2013
Closing date: 4 September 2013
The 2013 Periodic Review (PR13) is the process through which we determine the outputs that Network Rail must deliver, the efficient cost of delivering those outputs, and the access charges the company can levy on train operators for using its network to recover those costs. It covers the period from 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2019, which is called control period 5 (CP5). PR13 also establishes the wider ‘regulatory framework’ including the incentives that will act on Network Rail, train operators and others in the industry to deliver and outperform our determination.
Our draft determination sets out our package of overall decisions on PR13 for consultation. It is the culmination of two years of work and substantial stakeholder engagement on particular topics. After the 12 week consultation, we will take into account stakeholders’ responses and confirm our decisions in our final determination to be published on 31 October 2013. We will then begin the process of implementing the determination for the start of CP5 on 1 April 2014.
