Rail Leader Update

We work collaboratively with industry to make Britain’s railway safer, more sustainable and more efficient. Our cross-industry groups and committees are heavily involved in this effort, with most of our services and resources being overseen, governed, commissioned or approved by them.

Through our Rail Leader Update, we bring you the latest headlines from our groups and committees, focusing on some of the areas that matter most to industry: rail standards, safety, health and wellbeing, sustainability, and research and development.

Sustainability

Making rail greener will be no easy feat. Though our industry is already at a distinct advantage—with rail being the most eco-friendly mode of long-distance transport—obstacles aplenty stand before us. But when we team up with cross-industry working groups and other rail organisations, we take steps—both big and small—towards an even greener railway. A case in point is our work to improve air quality. It’s also shown in the benefits the Rail Social Value Tool is bringing to industry.
