ABOUT USWe own, repair and develop the railway infrastructure in England, Scotland and Wales.
That’s 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We manage 20 of the country’s largest stations, while all the rest – over 2,500 – are run by the train operating companies.
We exist to get people and goods where they need to be and to support our country’s economic prosperity.
