GBRX is the strategic innovation body for Britain's railway. Its purpose is to convene the sector to expose and overcome the barriers to technological adoption to improve how the railway works for people and to develop sustainable skills for the future.

In January 2025, the Secretary of State of Transport set out her five priorities for Shadow GBR. GBRX’s mandate is to deliver priority four: 'unlock strategic innovation by partnering with world leading innovators to improve how the railway works for people and support the UK as a technology and AI power.’ 

GBRX is focussed on unlocking strategic innovation where it is most challenging, at the crossroads of track and train, partnering with world leading innovators, academia, supporting SME’s, and collaborating across the sector, to improve how the railway works for people and stakeholders.
