Network Rail and passenger, train and freight organisations in the Anglia region have joined hands to form a dedicated Route Supervisory Board to drive improvements to the region’s rail network. The Route Supervisory Board will facilitate a one-railway approach for the passenger, operators and infrastructure owners to plan and deliver excellent performance and service.
The supervisory board will be formed of senior representatives of Network Rail, the passenger and freight operators in the Anglia region, a representative from Transport Focus and will be chaired by Arthur Leathley. The cross-industry representation and support of an experienced independent chair will drive collaborative discussions that will enable more effective decision making. The first meeting will be held in May.
“Working together with our industry partners we can better focus on our customers and stakeholders’ needs. This will help us deliver improvements that will make a real difference to the growing number of passengers in the region and drive economic growth as part of our Railway Upgrade Plan,” Meliha Duymaz, Network Rail’s route managing director for Anglia, said.
