GBR will bring a step-change in operational efficiency – but how?
As the industry prepares for the launch of Great British Railways (GBR), there is an opportunity to improve operational efficiency, reduce cost and improve passenger services.
We recently bought together board members and senior leaders from the rail industry, to considered the challenge of what could be done differently to plug the £8bn hole in UK rail finances.
The following discussion made one thing very clear – significant change would be needed across the sector, and longstanding barriers would need to be overcome. The end goal – financial sustainability in rail – will only be achieved with buy-in from all stakeholders.
With the input of this senior and influential group, we were able to draw out 10 key opportunities for success, summarised in this short paper.
Over the coming months we will be looking to explore these key themes and the opportunities they present further, and will be teaming up with industry leaders to share insights and ideas on the challenges and next steps for the rail sector.
