Abstract: Abstract Network Rail is a not for profit, private company, created in 2002 to take responsibility for Britain’s rail network. Through acquiring Railtrack, which went into administration in 2001, Network Rail took over ownership of Britain’s rail infrastructure (including tracks, stations, signalling and bridges). The company brought all maintenance activity in-house during 2004, employing approximately 18,000 new staff and effectively doubling its workforce. One year later, Network Rail took over responsibility for monitoring and reporting train performance across the industry.
