Network Rail runs, maintains and develops Britain’s tracks, signalling system, rail bridges, tunnels, level crossings, viaducts and 17 key stations.
There are 32,000 employees at Network Rail and it is working hard to improve every aspect of the railway. The company has made enormous progress in just four years. Under its stewardship, the railway is already safer, more reliable and more efficient.
Network Rail is ambitious for the future of the railway and wishes to grow the railway, meeting the demands and aspirations of rail users. Its task now is to build on the progress it has made so that it can transform Britain’s railway into a world-class infrastructure.
The challenge for Network Rail
The company's vision is to deliver a safe, reliable and efficient railway for Britain. Since it formed in October 2002, it has made enormous progress – but there is still a lot more that Network Rail wants to achieve.
Network Rail wants Britain’s railway to be world class – a source of pride for the whole country. It wants to continue to raise the bar on train performance, transport more passengers and move more freight, and it wants to improve safety and reduce delays – all at a reduced cost.

It is an extremely ambitious company that is constantly evolving and it is looking for business professionals to help meet the challenges ahead. Network Rail needs people who will live and breathe its corporate values: determination; respect; teamwork and pride.
