Locally Empowered, Nationally Coherent
CIRO sets out its operational agenda for Great British Railways
Great British Railways is largely reversing the separation of track and train – the very move which caused senior railway figures at the time to create our Institution.
With operations at the heart of running a safe and punctual railway, CIRO is uniquely placed to comment on the challenges and opportunities of bringing the railway together for customers under GBR. But how can we ensure GBR is an operational success?
A policy paper recently published by CIRO sets out the Institution’ s recommendations to make GBR locally empowered but nationally coherent. This work has been led by a group of CIRO Fellows, whose collective insight can help create a better railway which can deliver for customers and the UK economy.
