The Strategic vision for rail sets out a vision for our railways, including a new way of operating train & track and changes to the franchising system.
- the next phase for rail with a new way of operating train & track – bringing them closer together
- a railway fit for the 21st century and the huge volumes of passengers it now carries
- government to explore opportunities to increase railway capacity to drive economic & housing growth
- modernising the railway by bringing forward digital technologies to dramatically improve services for passengers
The Strategic vision for rail also commits to explore opportunities to restore capacity lost under the Beeching and British Rail cuts of the 1960s & 1970s by identifying new schemes that unlock new housing or economic growth and offer good value for money. |
