Network Rail: Land
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the expected income from Network Rail’s disposal of operational freight land.
- Answer
-
As recommended by the 2015 Hendy Review, Network Rail is committed to disposing of assets, including freight estate, where ownership is not essential for the running of the railway. As well as generating funds to reinvest into the railway, this will allow Network Rail to focus on its core business of running a safe, reliable and growing network.
At this point in time all options are still being considered and no firm decisions have been made about freight asset sales. The detail of any expected future asset sales is commercially sensitive.
