About Network Rail

We own, repair and develop the railway infrastructure in England, Scotland and Wales.

At Network Rail, we own, operate, maintain and develop the railway infrastructure across England, Scotland and Wales. Our teams play a vital role in keeping 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts, and thousands of signals, level crossings and stations safe and reliable for passengers and businesses.

We’re on an exciting journey. Join us.

But what we do goes beyond infrastructure. We connect people and goods to where they need to be, supporting communities and contributing to economic growth. That's why the work each of us does every day matters to millions.
