Frequently Asked Questions

What are Rail Industry Guidance Notes?

Rail Industry Guidance Notes are non-mandatory documents that are intended to provide potentially helpful information relating to the management and/or operation of the railway system or its subsystems. A guidance note may provide background to the measures contained within a Railway Group Standard or describe information in relation to an issue that is outside the scope of Railway Group Standards.
