<p>Network Rail has been asked by the Secretary of State to set out its proposals
to re-plan its Control Period 5 Enhancements Plan. In developing its response, Network
Rail is undertaking a comprehensive review of its capability and that of its industry
partners to deliver the enhancement portfolio. This includes a review of the current
status of all its major programmes and their readiness to deliver to schedule and
cost, an overall review of whole industry critical resources focusing particular on
signalling resources, a review of overall network access requirements and its strategy
for achieving required planning consents. These factors have been identified as key
to the current deliverability challenge Network Rail faces. Network Rail is involving
a number of independent expert organisations in contributing to these reviews as well
as using independent experts to validate it findings before making recommendations
to the Secretary of State.</p><p> </p><p /> <p> </p>
