User engagement

ORR sees the user engagement section as an ideal way to keep users of ORR statistics up to date, this can include:

• presenting ORR’s proposals about changes to statistics,
• publish changes in methodology prior to publication,
• publish papers of work ORR are working closely on,
• to keep users up-to-date with ORR consultation with the rail industry

ORR will also actively look for feedback from users of the statistics, and this page offers a tool for this.  ORR will highlight documents where we are looking for feedback from the users of the statistics.
