Our decisions on amendments to contracts where Network Rail and the train operator were in agreement.

The rail industry can propose changes to Network Rail's Network Code through Part C. ORR has a role to approve those changes as any modifications to the Code may have a bearing on Track Access contracts.

If a railway operator wants to access the Network Rail’s infrastructure, they have to apply to us for a track access agreement with Network Rail.
