The network code

The network code is a common set of rules and industry procedures that apply to all parties who have a contractual right of access to the track owned and operated by Network Rail.

Network Rail manages and maintains the network code, and all related documentation can be found on the Network Rail website.

Our responsibility is to ensure that the Code provides appropriate contractual certainty for all affected parties and does not benefit one contractual party to a greater extent than another.

If you have any questions in relation to the network code, please contact us.
