Rail Reform and why now is the time for a Freight Revolution

3 August 2022

As industry stakeholders, Rail Operations UK and Fishbone (an engineering consultancy to the transportation industry) have written a paper ‘Rail Reform and why now is the time for a Freight Revolution’.

The paper has evolved from our unique perspective of the rail freight industry in the UK and a joint vision that understands the sector must modernise if it can rise to the challenges it faces; to be a viable alternative to road and the first choice for all freight operational demands arising today and tomorrow.

It focuses on dynamic but sustainable solutions that can deliver increased economic, environmental and social benefit to customers and the wider transportation industry. The paper discusses the industry today, in 5 years and 30 years and concentrates on the key priorities that would revolutionise the rail freight sector.
