RIA has submitted a response to the Great British Railways Transition Team's call for evidence on the Whole Industry Strategic Plan.
Executive Summary
The response includes RIA's Five Key tests for the success of GBR:
- No hiatus: 50% of rail spend is with the private sector - and there cannot be a pause in this work.
- Transparency: Be clear and open with rail suppliers, to allow them to deliver.
- Partnership: Bring in the private sector, as an open and accessible client.
- Productivity: Ensure the rail industry is able to thrive - financial sustainability will ensure rail delivers for UK PLC.
- Ambition: Leave a positive legacy, including in safety, exports, decarbonisation and the economy.
