About Us

We run 20,000 miles of track, 40,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts, 18 major stations, 8,200 commercial properties, and 2,500 stations leased to train operators, and we do it every day.

We’re helping Britain run better. That covers a vast network of rail, signals, electrified lines and telecommunications. Every weekday we make over three million passenger journeys possible. But we don’t just enable journeys today, we’re building for tomorrow too. The rail network is busier than ever, with one million more trains running every year than just five years ago. More and more people are choosing to travel by rail, to get to work every morning and home again every evening. Only an outstanding organisation has the ability to make our railway great.

So far, our track record has been excellent. Over the last four years we have achieved our principal safety targets, delivered the most punctual rail network for six years and cut costs significantly. We’ve made enormous progress, but there’s still a lot more that we want to achieve. This is a great time to join Network Rail and a great chance to help maintain and improve Britain’s rail infrastructure.
