Connection contracts

If you wish to connect facilities to the Network Rail network you should use our model connection contract ( PDF 173 Kb). This contract sets out the rights and obligations of the parties for the ongoing maintenance of connections between two railway networks.

New connection contracts may not need to come to ORR for specific approval if they fall under the terms described in our General Approval ( PDF 41 Kb).

Contracts which fall under the terms are automatically approved by us and will not need to be submitted to us to go through our approval process. Parties to such contracts should still send us a copy of the signed contract when it is entered into.
