Our Legal and Financial Structure
Network Rail is a “not for dividend” company and all our profits go straight back into improving the railway
Our purpose is to deliver a safe, reliable and efficient railway for Britain.
As a company limited by guarantee, we are a private company operating as a commercial business. We are directly accountable to our members and regulated by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR).
Run like a PLC
The Board runs Network Rail to the standards required of a publicly listed company (PLC).
We produce an Annual Report & Accounts and hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM). We also publish our Business Plan each year – something that very few other companies do.
