What is track access?
Track access is permission for a train operator to use specific railway lines for a set period. In this story, Virgin has secured access from the UK regulator, the ORR, to run services through the Channel Tunnel. This is a crucial step, as without it, no trains can operate on the network, regardless of other preparations.
