Your views matter

This is a critical time for Britain’s rail industry and it needs to demonstrate – to passengers, freight customers and taxpayers – that it is up to meeting the challenges and grasping the opportunities it faces.

• On many measures – including performance and safety – our railways have never been more successful
• They are carrying more passengers than ever before, with passenger demand forecast to continue to grow
• But this success has come at a high cost to passengers and taxpayers – with industry costs up to 30 per cent higher than other European railways
• In order to justify continuing public investment the industry needs to deliver a step change in efficiency and provide better value for money

Sir Roy McNulty’s report calls for £1 billion of savings from the sector, with a significant improvement in Network Rail’s efficiency.

It is therefore vital to have a wide-ranging debate to understand what we want from our railways and to enable informed choices as to how this can be best achieved with the money available.
