We hold Network Rail to account for delivering what it promised – we require Network Rail to meet its obligation to provide a safe, high-performing, and efficient railway at the amount agreed.
We do this by enforcing compliance with its licences and by conducting five-yearly reviews that set Network Rail’s funding and what must achieved within the relevant control period.
