Quick Glance: Delays in Establishing Great British Railways
- Two hundred staff are employed by the Government on full pay to work for a flagship rail body that is still pending official establishment.
- An investigation by the National Audit Office (NAO) is underway to assess the project's financial efficiency, with findings expected soon.
- Initially proposed in 2021, the rail transformation program aimed to create Great British Railways (GBR), a state-owned entity overseeing the train network, yet it remains unlaunched after more than two and a half years.
- Challenges in legislation have prolonged the involvement of staff in the 'transition team' for over two and a half years, with GBR's functionality projected for late 2025 at the earliest, but more likely in 2026.
