Network code - reform

Since 2003 the network code has been going through a process of reform.

Phase 1 and 2 reforms

Phase 1

This first phase came into effect in early 2005. It made the network code processes easier to understand and work better, and included modifications to Parts A, C, F, G and H.

Three new parts to the network code, Parts J, K and M, were also introduced. 

Phase 2

Considerable progress has been made by the industry in taking forward phase 2 of these reforms, including work on:

• performance and delay attribution (Parts B, H and L);
• timetabling process (Part D);
• vehicle and network change (Parts F and G);
• operational disruption and the development of a Railway Operational Code (Part H); and
• introduction of revised Access Dispute Resolution Rules (ADRR).
