Williams Rail Review

The PRTF welcomed the opportunity to submit a response to the Call for Evidence to the Williams Review announced in December 2018.

The rail industry is currently fragmented as a result of competing goals across the public and private sector. This is impacting on delivering the ultimate aim of a reliable and resilient railway.

The existing operating model for the rail industry is not fit for purpose and the PRTF joins the call for the establishment of an industry wide strategic body to interpret government policy into an overall framework.
