Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2026

Debate

Railways Bill

Contribution

However, for the benefit of noble Lords this afternoon —I have been very clear on this in a number of places—I can say that GBR will deliver services through locally empowered business units, with a single accountable leader in each unit managing both passenger services and infrastructure. Business units will bring together existing network rail routes and train operators, ensuring that delivery is closer to those who use the railway and that accountability sits at the local level.
