The Rail Delivery Group has welcomed the Government’s support for the RDG contained in the Command Paper ‘Reforming our Railways: Putting the Customer First’, which was published yesterday.
The Paper calls on the Group to provide leadership to the industry and to respond to the Government’s strategic challenges.
The Chairman of the Rail Delivery Group, Tim O’Toole, said
“The Command Paper lays out the Government’s vision for an expanding and efficient railway that meets the needs of passengers, freight users and taxpayers.
“The Government sees the Rail Delivery Group leading the industry in driving up efficiency and demand for the railway. This is a challenge that we accept.
“The Rail Delivery Group is pleased that the Government has recognised that the Group is taking and shaping the industry’s agenda for a sustained programme of improved management and running of the rail network.”
