Network Rail receptive to new ideas

Infrarail 2010 was declared open by Ian Sexton, Director, Contracts & Procurement at Network Rail. In his address, he outlined the company’s plan to spend some £4.7 billion annually during the current Control Period 4 but added that efficiency gains of 21% were being sought, some of these through changes in supply chain relationships. He stressed the importance of strong links with the supply industry and assured his audience that Network Rail was open for business and very receptive to new products and ideas that would help it improve the reliability and performance of the system.
