Recommendation 20
20
Lack of consistent strategic vision prevents stable railway investment pipelines.
Conclusion
A consistent strategic vision of what the railway is for and how it will contribute to the wider priorities of Government is fundamental to achieving stable investment pipelines. Successive governments have failed to articulate what they want the railway network to achieve as a core national asset and, therefore, how it will invest in the network to meet those objectives. (Conclusion, Paragraph 108)
