Rail is a success and growing Drivers of growth Population +10m Urbanisation 250,000 houses/year Road congestion Better railways! 4-Oct-17 / 3
Network Rail who are we? Rail is vital to the UK s economic growth creating jobs and building houses 4.5 million passenger journeys per day We have the safest railway in Europe Network Rail employs 36,000 people across the UK And supports 89,000 full time jobs in our supply chain The railway and its supply chain support 216,000 jobs 4-Oct-17 / 4
Our investment strategy. 1. Be innovative and cut the cost of projects and deliver them efficiently. 2. Attract private investment from the people and places that will benefit from better railways. 3. Manage our portfolio of assets to reinvest in those things that passengers want the most. 4-Oct-17 / 5
As a consequence We are investing 100m every single week on improvements for passengers We are adding more capacity, which will allow more trains as well as enabling longer and faster trains through longer platforms and the electrification of key lines. 98% of our supply chain expenditure is with British companies More than half our suppliers are small medium enterprises (SME s) Some of Network Rail s major projects will deliver 4 for every 1 invested. Our work means that there will be 170,000 extra seats into London at Rush Hour 30% more seats into the great cities of the North We need to find innovative ways of squeezing more from the existing network. In many cities and towns there is simply no way to build new railways. This means we have to harness digital technology to deliver real benefits to passengers. 4-Oct-17 / 6
