Signalling systems are an essential part of the railway. They keep passengers safe by ensuring trains do not come into conflict with each other and play a key role in freeing up capacity on our congested network.

Rail timetable changes take place twice a year, usually in May and December. New timetables must be published 12 weeks in advance.

This page contains information on our consideration of capacity, performance and current applications for access on the West Coast Main Line (WCML).

We ensure train companies provide accurate and timely information, particularly during disruption. We also investigate timetabling issues.
