There are many challenges in rail. In our Annual Business Plan 2024-25, we set out the work we will undertake to help industry address challenges. Our activities will help industry deliver:

-
Safe and satisfied passengersWe will continue to support industry deliver healthy and safe services that satisfy customers, even in changed patterns of passenger demand or in response to public health threats.
-
Improving system reliability and resilienceOperational performance in rail needs high levels of employee health and wellbeing. Sharing data effectively about failures, faults, and defects is essential too. So we will support rail leaders to improve in these areas.
-
Adopting new technologyWe will continue to explore how industry can benefit from new technologies and what is needed to implement them effectively. This includes artificial intelligence.
-
Freight safety and growthIn order to help the freight sector meet its target of at least 75% growth by 2050, we will focus on improving operational performance and reducing complexity. We will continue to provide current safety intelligence via our interactive dashboard specifically for freight safety.
