Network Rail has today been fined £1.2 million after pleading guilty to an offence under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, following an investigation and prosecution by industry regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
In this blog, I set out National Highways’ final position against its safety key performance indicator target for the second road period (RP2) and look ahead to our next annual safety report in January 2027.
We undertake targeted assurance reviews to gain in-depth understanding into ongoing or emerging issues, risks and opportunities within Network Rail which could impact regulatory targets.
As the Railways Bill progresses through Parliament and work continues to establish Great British Railways (GBR), ORR will consult on a range of policy, regulatory and implementation matters arising from rail reform.
