Network Rail is a Founding Member of Shift2Rail and leader of the €153M IP3 Infrastructure Programme. This lecture will explain Network Rail's activities in Shift2Rail, and crucially how it is influencing and leading significant parts of the programme. That will in turn produce outputs that are exactly aligned to Network Rail's needs. The paper will set out some examples of what technologies explored and innovations are being sought and how it intends to implement the outputs.
