Consultation closing date: 25 January 2018
Conclusions published: 24 May 2018
The volume incentive was designed to encourage Network Rail to make additional capacity available in response to unexpected demand from operators to use the network.
In November 2017, we published Working Paper 6: The Volume Incentive. In the paper, we set out our views on the effectiveness of the existing volume incentive mechanism, and the case for retaining, reforming or removing it in CP6.
We received nine responses from a range of stakeholders. We are grateful to all those who responded. Following careful review of stakeholder responses, we published a letter to Network Rail outlining our conclusions to the working paper.
