Network Route Utilisation Strategy
open-in-new
<p>The Network Route Utilisation Strategy (Network RUS) is a <a href="/facts/Route_Utilisation_Strategy/7rGglEEa">Route Utilisation Strategy</a> (RUS) produced by <a href="/facts/Network_Rail/B7RcLTwY">Network Rail</a> (NR). The Network RUS is one of only two (the <a href="/facts/Network_Rail_Freight_Route_Utilisation_Strategy/2r5x9oFo">Freight RUS</a> is the other) which have the perspective of the network as whole; most of NR's RUSs are geographical, mainly regional, in nature. Uniquely the Network RUS is divided into four separate workstreams each of which has its own management team and documentary outputs, effectively an RUS in its own right. </p><p>RUSs are <a href="/facts/Route_Utilisation_Strategy/7rGglEEa">established</a> by the <a href="/facts/Office_of_Rail_Regulation/LUHFXHF3">Office of Rail Regulation</a> (ORR) unless the latter objects within 60 days. As at mid-March 2010 two workstreams had been published and established (the Scenarios & Long Distance Forecasts workstream and the Electrification workstream); they are consequently included in Network Rail's map as established, and it is expected that the others will be included as they are published and established. </p><p>By definition the geographic scope is the whole Network Rail network. </p>
