Health and safety

• Industry must retain a relentless focus on safety throughout rail reform. • Financial constraints on Network Rail require careful management in the coming years. • Network Rail is taking action where train performance needs to improve. Passenger train punctuality is largely stable, but cancellations have reached record highs, with train operator cancellations the dominant factor.

The day-to-day safe and efficient operation of Great Britain’s railway relies heavily upon our industry colleagues. They are our most valuable asset and are at the heart of everything we do for passengers and users of our rail network.
