Duties

ORR's main focus is on the monopoly and dominant elements of the railway industry. Its duties include:

·         setting the contractual and financial framework within which the infrastructure provider works to maintain, renew and expand the network;

·         the stewardship of the railway infrastructure for the sustained network through enforcing licence conditions and access charges reviews;

·         determining the efficient allocation of access to railway facilities through the approval of access agreements; and

·         promoting the clear and effective contractual relationships between players in the railway industry.
