What we are doing to improve
Next 3 Months
We will continue to deliver our Joint Performance Plans with Network Rail to improve our operational performance, current focus areas include joint activities to reduce the impact of trespass and suicide and delivery of summer hot weather readiness to protect our fleet and infrastructure reliability.
Next Year
We will implement performance improvement actions aligned with the Performance Restoration Framework, focusing on timetable reliability, staff availability, infrastructure resilience, and control of the railway. We will collaborate with Network Rail to address crime, extreme weather, and to keep trains safely moving during disruption.
Longer-Term
We will complete the introduction of new Intercity trains and refurbished Regional and Connect fleets, and work with Network Rail and other operators to improve the quality of our mainline timetable, and jointly develop and implement better condition monitoring for track and trains to enable us to more effectively predict and prevent failures.
