We want to be known for being ambitious, for delivering more for our passengers and freight users, to open up new opportunities and forging long-lasting partnerships and to safely improve train performance.
As we evolve towards Great British Railways, we are embedding the ethos of track and train throughout our five-year strategic business plan for Control Period 7 (CP7) to create a more reliable and accessible railway that delivers for our passengers and freight users by better focussing on their needs.
We aim to put our customers at the heart of everything we do. Alongside our operators and other industry partners we will build on achievements made over the previous control period (CP6). With a focus on end-to-end journeys, we’ll work to deliver a more accessible, punctual and safe railway, relied upon by customers wherever they are on Anglia’s network.
But there’s more we can do. Much of our network and the experience of our passengers can be improved. We want to make more stations accessible so passengers with reduced mobility can use our services more easily. We know we can improve the reliability of passenger services by working together with our train operators. And we’re committed to getting more freight moved by rail, reducing reliance on the road network and to help make the railway greener as part of a wider sustainable transport strategy.
