Rail reform – What does it mean for freight and open access operations?

Top 10 takeaways from our top table dinner Freight and open access in the future GBR-led railway was the topic for the latest in our series of top table dinners, co-hosted with Atkins, on 14 March 2023. We were delighted to be joined by Maggie Simpson OBE, Director General of the Rail Freight Group, who spoke about some of the freight-specific issues in implementing rail reform. Our second guest speaker was Richard McClean, Transition Director for Arriva, who focusses on rail reform and was previously Managing Director of Grand Central, highlighting implications for open access operators and broader issues relevant to all users of the railway. Thank you to our speakers and to everyone who joined us and engaged in the debate that followed.
