Our Rail Experts Have Transformed The Performance Of Britain’s Railway…They Can Help You Transform Yours Network Rail Consulting is the wholly owned international consultancy arm of Network Rail, the owner and operator of Britain’s mainline railway. Uniquely, Network Rail Consulting has access to the full range of technical expertise and experience within Network Rail. In delivering operational, maintenance, planning and technical services for the UK railway, Network Rail Consulting’s consultancy team makes available the comprehensive technical expertise and operational experience of Network Rail. Network Rail, the owner and operator of Britain’s rail infrastructure, has transformed the country’s railways. We’ve revitalized our aging infrastructure, built world-class track, signals & stations and modernized our operations. Today, we help people take more than 1.8bn journeys by rail every year. In Britain, the operation of railway infrastructure is separated from the operation of train services - Network Rail owns and operates Britain’s railway infrastructure. Our railway network is heavily used by 28 train-operating companies and 7 freight-operating companies - the most open railway in the world. Network Rail’s job is to keep it running every day and continuously maintain, enhance and expand the network. Our main responsibility is to accommodate many train operators on our network, whose performance depends on ours. We’re investing £47bn in the railway by 2024 to deliver a more reliable, safer and efficient railway.
