Rail enhancements are delivered through the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline, which has spent the following in each year in CP6 (including contributions to 3rd party schemes), from 2019 (figures shown in £m, nominal):<\/p>

a) 2019/20: £1,475m<\/p>

The rail enhancement budget has been separated from the overall Network Rail Operations Maintenance and Renewals budget, known as the Statement of Funds Available, since 2018. The government published its approach to rail enhancements across England and Wales in the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline[1] (RNEP) in 2018.<\/p>

<\/p>

Since Spending Review 2021 we have spent around £2bn a year on rail enhancements on the conventional network. Major projects, including HS2, Crossrail and East West Rail, are funded separately. As previously, the RNEP budget beyond the current Spending Review period (ending in 24/25) will be set at future fiscal events.<\/p>

The Secretary of State was clear in the 2022 High-Level Output Specification that he expects to see an efficient approach to system operation in Control Period 7 (CP7), underpinning allocation of capacity that best supports reliability, informed timetable specification and effective use of the network for rail freight\u2014bolstered by the continued adoption of digital signalling.<\/p>

Network Rail plans to support passenger train growth on major routes in the next Control Period, expected to be around 1% to 5% by the end of CP7. Across the whole network, operators will continue to be obliged to release any unused capacity to ensure that it can be appropriately allocated.<\/p>

Network Rail plans support a further 25 rail freight trains per day in CP7, in pursuit of growing rail freight by 7.5% during Control Period 7. The independent regulator, the Office of Rail and Road, will hold Network Rail to account against this growth target.<\/p>

We continue to support ambitious rail infrastructure upgrades (\u201cenhancements\u201d) across the country which will increase capacity across the rail network. Rail enhancements are funded and managed separately from the Control Period settlements.<\/p>
