Rail Partners responded to the ORR’s periodic review of HS1 Ltd 2024 (PR24), which will determine HS1’s spending plans over the next five years (Control Period 3, 2025-2030).
The response welcomes the proposed reduction to network access charges which will help to improve the financial viability of international rail freight services and may help to drive competition for the passenger market. It also acknowledges the importance that the future Railways Bill is fit for all infrastructure managers including those outside of GBR, including HS1.
