Schedule 4 and 8 PR18 re-calibration working group

Body

In our charges and incentives consultation, published in December 2016, we encouraged an industry-led approach to the re-calibration of Schedules 4 and 8 in PR18. To help start this process we hosted a series of regular meetings to agree with industry the approach for recalibrating each aspect of the regimes.

There are separate passenger, freight and charter Recalibration Working Groups to account for the significant differences in their regimes. The Working Groups are comprised of representatives from Network Rail and operators and also include wider stakeholders, including governments.

ORR organised and hosted Working Group meetings until June 2017; subsequent meetings have been led by industry. The table below summarises what was discussed in each of the ORR-led meetings.
