Recommendation 26

26 Paragraph: 111

Rail upgrades disrupt commuters, rail freight and timetabling.

Rail upgrades disrupt commuters, rail freight and timetabling. Disruption to existing services caused by upgrades to key rail lines may drive a modal shift from rail to car, which would work against the Government’s decarbonisation goals.
