Month on the Network: January

At Network Rail we proudly look after Britain’s railway. That’s over 20,000 miles of track, 20 of the country’s biggest stations and lots more.

Keeping passengers and freight moving safely and playing a vital role in supporting communities and the economy.

Here are just some of our stories from the past month …


Energy, efficiency and the railway

Travelling by rail is already considered the greenest form of public transport but there are lots of other ways the railway helps save energy and the environment.

Here are some of the ways we’re making our railway even more energy-efficient.


Busting the Blue Monday Myth

Graphic reads: There's always time for a cuppa and a catch-up #BrewMonday

Did you know there’s no such thing as the saddest day of the year? The third Monday of January – also known as Blue Monday – is sometimes reported as the saddest day.

But this is a myth that we’re keen to dispel because it may discourage people from seeking life-changing help.

We worked with charity Samaritans to do just that.


Helping small and medium-sized businesses across Britain

We work with over 3,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

We work with thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) all over Britain to look after the railway.

Find out how we’re supporting these companies and why it matters.


Creating new homes for our endangered furry friends

We’re making new homes for the endangered hazel dormice in Devon. It’s part of our commitment to protecting the environment around the railway.

Find out how this will help a whole host of wildlife, not just the dormice.


Planning for climate change

Climate change could increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather. We’re planning now to give Britain a safe, reliable railway for the future.

In this animation we explain how we’re protecting our railway from the impact of climate change.


Year on the Network

We get through a lot of work looking after the railway 365 days a year.

Whether we’re building new stations and bringing new connections to you, upgrading important historical structures, or even making the railway more resilient, we’re always busy.
