Our goal is to provide an exceptional passenger journey experience through a railway that is on time at every calling point for every service. Against the backdrop of improvements, our priority remains to deliver a safe and reliable railway. On the West Coast South route in particular, Project Alpha will be investing £100m into this section of railway to implement change.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">There are several areas our plan

restrictions</p> </div> </div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Examples of our performance improvement work</h3> <accordion class="tw-mb-8 accordion-block"> <template v-slot:accordion="slotProps"> <accordion-item v-for="(item, i) in [{"is_icon":false,"icon":"","title":"Case study one: Kilsby tunnel","description":"<p>In May 2020 we agreed a plan with our passenger and freight train partners to shut the West Coast main line for two weeks at Kilsby Tunnel, near Daventry, Northamptonshire, to replace tracks and improve drainage at this known flooding hotspot. This job was long overdue. Access to this ordinarily busy stretch of line had previously proved impossible due to train companies wanting to continue running services even at reduced speeds. Getting this work done enabled us to lift longstanding speed restrictions, improving journey times and service reliability for years to come. While the line was shut we carried out around 250 additional maintenance jobs, including cutting back trackside shrubs and upkeep of overhead electric wires. We removed the red tape and planning timelines and developed a robust plan in collaboration with all operators to allow these works to take place, saving millions of pounds of tax payers money, removing the burden for travellers returning post Covid and building a culture that the railway has needed for decades.<\/p>\n"},{"is_icon":false,"icon":"","title":"Case study two: High priority rerailing at Euston","description":"<p>A project of high priority rerailing on the approach to London Euston to remove rail defects and improve track quality will reduce delays to passengers. Every few months this section of track often suffers from problems, meaning we would either have to block all the lines at short notice, or undertake hugely disruptive large-scale rerailing work. By sorting out these high priority sites now, we keep disruption during maintenance and avoid having to do major work later on. Improving track condition on the busy Euston line will reduce the need for temporary speed limits, some as slow as 20mph. This will enable train services to move swiftly, smoothly and safely in and out of this nationally critical rail terminus.<\/p>\n"}]" :key="i" :i="i" :title="item.title" :icon-name="item.icon" :description="item.description" :is-expanded="slotProps.activeItem === i ? true : false" @expand="slotProps.handleExpand" ></accordion-item> </template> </accordion> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">HS2 On Network Works</h2> <p>We are a key partner to HS2, contracted to complete on network works (ONW) on the line between London and Birmingham. Our work is crucial to facilitate the new high speed line. Investing in HS2 will create much needed rail capacity, providing more local, regional and intercity services. HS2 is also set to deliver significant community and economic benefits.</p> <p>Many sections of the new high speed line interface directly with Network Rail infrastructure. The touchpoints between HS2 and the existing network will have varying impacts on passengers and local communities. We are committed to minimising disruption for passengers and lineside neighbours. Where our work has a wider impact, we deliver awareness campaigns and a programme of local community engagement.</p> <p>We care about making sure passengers and other members of the public understand how to stay safe and we work closely with local communities to promote railway safety for when they travel or interact with us. We work closely with local communities to promote safety by the railway.
