Network Statement

Helping you to develop your train operating business

The Network Statement aims to provide all current and potential train operators wishing to operate train services on Network Rail's infrastructure with a single source of relevant information on a fair and non-discriminatory basis.

It has been prepared following consultation with a wide range of interested parties including the Office of Rail Regulation, railway licence holders (including passenger and freight train operators) and connected port and freight terminal operators.

The Network Statement is intended to fulfil the requirements of the Railways Infrastructure (Access and Management) Regulations 2005 (as amended) (the Regulations) and EU Directive 2001/14/EC and can be downloaded below free of charge.

In line with our obligations under the Regulations, we will keep the Network Statement up to date and modify it as necessary. Where changes are made to the Network Statement, we will update this section of our website and will make it clear where in the document this updating has taken place.

We welcome comments at any time from interested parties with regard to the structure, content and presentation of the Network Statement. Comments can be sent to us via email at the following address:
