Today there are more trains using that network – and arriving on time – than ever before. Safety is at higher levels than any other point in history. And with railways set to play an increasingly important role in the UK’s infrastructure, the company has ambitious plans for the future.

Over the next five years, Network Rail is improving and developing the rail network that is vital for the economic prosperity of this country. From the rejuvenation of King’s Cross station to Europe’s largest civil engineering project, Crossrail, it will be involved in some of the most impressive and diverse ventures the UK has ever seen.

For Planners, the attraction is obvious. And with the company’s assets encompassing bridges, tunnels, level crossings, viaducts, stations, communications networks and surveillance systems, in addition to all the tracks and signalling, the scope is huge.
