Imagine a railway where every employee, every day, is empowered by the tools and insights they need to build a safer, smarter future. That's not just a vision; it's our unwavering commitment. This ambitious goal drives the initiatives and commitments shared in our 2025-26 Annual Business Plan, the second delivery year of our five-year plan for 2024-29.
In this plan, we outline the key role we play in helping the sector address the most important challenges facing rail.
The challenges were identified at the start of our five-year period and confirmed as top concerns in our 2024 member survey. These are:
• cost reduction ❯
• safe and satisfied passengers ❯
• improving system reliability and resilience ❯
• adopting new technology ❯
• freight safety and growth ❯
• value to society and sustainability ❯
We're building the future, not just reacting to change. This plan is our roadmap for transformative action, enabling the rail industry to exceed tomorrow's challenges. By integrating innovation and efficiency, we will proactively maximise impact for our members and the industry.
