Rail Value for Money study - Consultants' reports
The rail Value for Money (VfM) study commissioned a number of consultants' reports to inform its thinking.
This page provides links to copies of these reports.
While these reports were commissioned by the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR), the findings and recommendations are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the DfT and the ORR or the rail value for money study.
