Although the UK has now left the EU, most legislation emanating from the rail packages continues to be in force subject to amendments introduced by "EU exit" regulations. This is referred to as "retained EU law" in the EU Withdrawal Act.

Network Rail is required to deliver obligations under its network licence, and these are monitored and enforced by us.

We hold network rail to account for delivering what it promised – at the amount it agreed to do it for – and we require it to meet its obligation to provide a safe, high-performing, and efficient railway.

This page contains a list of fatalities, serious injuries and serious dangerous occurrences that need to be notified to us by telephone.

The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is a European train control system that will be introduced onto the GB rail network over the next 30 years.

We have a role in ensuring that Network Rail and rail operators do all that is reasonably practicable to manage the risk of crime.
