Network Rail is the organisation responsible for the railway infrastructure across England, Scotland and Wales. It owns, operates, maintains and develops the network, helping keep passenger and freight services moving safely and reliably every day. Its role covers around 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts, thousands of signals and level crossings, and management of 20 of the country’s largest stations. Most other stations are run by train operating companies.

For a website, Network Rail can be described as the backbone of Britain’s railway. The organisation works behind the scenes to keep the network running, carrying out maintenance, renewals and upgrades while also planning for future growth. Its responsibilities include making the railway safer, more reliable and more sustainable, as well as delivering major infrastructure projects that improve journeys and support the wider economy.

Network Rail also works closely with train operators, freight companies, suppliers and government bodies across the rail industry. Its structure includes regions and routes that manage local parts of the network, supported by wider national services and long-term planning. Alongside day-to-day operations, the company continues to focus on performance, safety, investment and preparation for the future shape of Britain’s railway. Its recent annual reporting also highlights a continued focus on growth, customer experience and the industry’s transition toward Great British Railways.
