FAQ's
One of the most important parts of a city's infrastructure is its public transit, with trains being a forefront factor within this. Trains are capable of transporting numerous people at once, and can travel long distances without having to make as many stops as buses do. This means that trains can cover a lot of ground quickly, making them the ideal mode of transportation for commuters who need to go across town or country. Without these types of transit, those commuting by car will increase, leading to more traffic, pollution, and a deepened reliance on oil.
Trains can also carry many different types of cargo along with them, making it possible to ship large amounts of materials and products over long distances economically.
The rail industry provides hundreds of thousands of jobs in the UK, and generates essential income for the country. With the oldest railway in the world, the rail industry is important to Britain in particular as a signal of its history and growth.
The UK rail industry is regulated by several bodies, which are overall headed by the Office of Rail and Road.
The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is the government department responsible for regulating all safety and economic considerations for the rail industry; this is the main body and oversees all other bodies.
The Department for Transport (DfT) is another government body responsible for funding and overall transport policy in the UK.
Network Rail is a public sector company which provides and manages the UK rail network. Individual train companies then provide and run the trains, including both freight trains and passenger trains.
The British Transport Police act as the police force for the railways, working alongside the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) as two of the main safety bodies.
