Economic regulation

One of our core activities is to benchmark National Highways' performance and efficiency across its own regional areas or against comparable organisations.

It is important that land in which Network Rail has an interest and which may be important to the continuing operation and future development of the network, and services relating to railways, is not disposed of against the public interest. Condition 17 of Network Rail's network licence safeguards against the inappropriate disposal of land assets.

This section is dedicated to the charges and incentives work relating to PR23, including links to consultations, publications and background research.

We monitor performance through analysis of regular reports from Network Rail.
