Our role in approving track access to the High Speed 1 (HS1) network for train operators.

These pages contain details on each infrastructure manager that we regulate. They include information on track access contract applications and decisions relating to each infrastructure manager.

This section sets out our guidance and policies on regulating infrastructure access.
