Track to Growth: Creating a dynamic railway for passengers and the economy

In our latest publication, we set out analysis of the significant and complex challenges currently facing the railway and the role train companies can play in solving them.

The report contains brand new analysis by Oxera on how private sector train companies reversed the decline of the railway post-British Rail, as well as wide-ranging research from Arup and Frontier Economics demonstrating the benefits of rail competition in Europe.

While European railways are liberalising and seeing signs of a renaissance, our railway risks being left behind. Rail Partners is calling for a reinvigorated public-private partnership to get Britain’s railways back on the track to growth.
