<p>The independent regulator, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), will determine the
funding that Network Rail requires to deliver efficiently the outputs the Government
set out in its High Level Output Specification (HLOS) for Control Period 6 (2019 –
2024) in July 2017 (https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2017-07-20/HCWS86/).
ORR will scrutinise Network Rail’s proposed Strategic Business Plans for Control Period
6 in early 2018 and will consult stakeholders on its draft determination on Network
Rail’s outputs and funding for Control Period 6 in June 2018. ORR will publish its
final determination in October 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The HLOS was focused on operations,
maintenance and renewals outputs. The Government is developing a new process for the
funding and delivery of enhancements. We will publish more information on this later
in the year.</p>
