<p>The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is independent of Government. It is for the Board
of the ORR to determine the organisation’s service standards and strategic objectives.
These are set out in its annual business plan, which ORR develops after seeking the
views of the Department for Transport and other stakeholders. Business plans for 2017-18,
2018-19 and 2019-20 are published on the ORR’s website at:</p><p>https://orr.gov.uk/about-orr/corporate-data/corporate-publications.</p><p>
</p><p>The Secretary of State issues statutory general guidance to the ORR in respect
of the exercise of its functions as the independent economic and safety regulator
for the railways under the Railways Acts of 1993 and 2005. The guidance was most recently
updated in 2017 and was developed after discussion with the ORR. It is published on
the Department’s website at:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/railways-guidance-to-the-office-of-rail-and-road.</p><p>
