Control Period 4 Delivery Plan 2009

We have recently published an update to the Control Period 4 Delivery Plan. Please check the Control Period 4 Delivery Plan update 2010.

We are publishing this at a time when more passengers are choosing to travel by rail than at any time for sixty years.  The railway is safer than it has ever been, and punctuality is at its highest since records began. 

Our ambitious plans mean an even safer, more reliable railway, and one that is available when passengers, freight users and our train and freight operating customers need it.  The plans also mean a bigger railway, with £8 billion being invested in enhancing the network to increase its capacity and capability.  This figure does not include schemes such as Crossrail and the Edinburgh to Glasgow upgrade that we believe are likely to occur over the next few years but for which the funding has yet to be agreed.

Network Rail is committing itself to delivering specific outputs required by the Department for Transport and Transport Scotland sustainably, within the available funding and in a way that meets the needs and requirements of our customers and causes the minimum disruption to the travelling public.  We welcome the decision by the Office of Rail Regulation to give us the flexibility to determine how best to deliver these outputs.

The investment required is huge, and the challenges ahead are similarly tough.  However, the industry approaches this collectively, on the back of a strong record of delivery in the last five years which gives confidence in our ability to meet those challenges.  The contribution of our train and freight operating customers as well as our suppliers so far has been invaluable, and we will need their continued support to deliver this plan and contribute to the ongoing success of the industry.

To meet the challenges we face and the expectations of all our customers and stakeholders, we need to become more efficient and deliver even greater value.  The scale of change required is significant.  As a company, we are committed to this, and to delivering this plan so the railway in 2014 is even safer, bigger, more reliable and more efficient than it is today.
