Six months ago, we set out our Annual Business Plan 2026–27. Today, we are sharing the progress made on key goals we pledged to deliver together with industry. Discover what we've achieved so far and how you can get involved.
Delivering on our commitments
From improving safety and accessibility to supporting climate resilience and affordability, here’s how we're delivering value for industry in six priority areas.
Explore each objective to see what we committed to deliver, what we've achieved so far, and what's coming next.
SAFE
Train Movement Insights – Overspeed Indicator
The Overspeed Indicator is helping operators and infrastructure managers identify emerging overspeed risks. It enables earlier intervention and a more proactive approach to safety management.
RELIABLE & RESILIENT
Weather resilience and climate adaptation
More than 40 organisations are participating in climate adaptation assessments, helping paint a clearer picture of railway resilience and future climate risk.
AFFORDABLE
Simplified signalling for freight terminals
A simplified signalling design could significantly reduce the cost of connecting low-volume freight terminals, helping make more freight schemes commercially viable.
ACCESSIBLE
Station design and the Stations Hub
We've launched the Stations Hub and revised station design standards. It is now easier to access requirements, guidance, and good practice. This supports safer, more accessible station design.
EFFICIENT
Improving safety critical communications
We're exploring how AI can support the analysis of safety critical communications, helping identify trends earlier and improve operational decision-making.
HIGH QUALITY
Social Impact Assessment
Industry wants to better understand, measure, and demonstrate the social value rail delivers to passengers, communities, and the wider economy. Our Social Impact Assessment work is paving the way.
