At Network Rail, we're the publicly owned operator of Britain's rail infrastructure.
We're trusted custodians of one of our nation's most critical public assets: Scotland's Railway.
We keep Scotland moving - connecting people and places, supporting businesses, public services and communities - driving economic, social and environmental success.
Our work spans almost 20% of the UK network and between 2024 and 2029, we're investing £4.8 billion to enhance our stations and routes, supporting new passenger and freight rolling stock.
