Great British Railways

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the (a) organisational structure and (b) workstreams of Great British Railways will be.

Answer

As set out in the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail, published May 2021, we are establishing a new public body, Great British Railways. Great British Railways will own the infrastructure, receive the fare revenue, run and plan the network and set most fares and timetables. This will require significant change to the system and a new sector operating model. Work to understand new organisational structures and workstreams for Great British Railways is in development and will be an iterative process.
