Rail hub launched to drive project delivery and investment Network Rail has established the Rail Investment Centre of Excellence, a new department which will help to lead the organisation’s effort to become a more efficient and dependable partner within the rail industry. As well as bringing a focus on efficient delivery of major projects and investment, the department will act as a hub for Network Rail’s devolved regional businesses and its wider network functions. Part of wider organisational changes, the Centre of Excellence is expected to give Network Rail a more seamless view of rail investment through to capital delivery, and provide confidence that benefits will be delivered for passengers and freight users more efficiently.
