Who runs the railway?
Network Rail owns and maintains almost all the railway infrastructure in England, Scotland, and Wales, including tracks, signals, bridges, tunnels, and most stations. They are responsible for upgrades like the Manchester Airport station project, ensuring the network runs safely and efficiently for train operating companies. This £115m investment is part of their ongoing work.
