In June, the Department for Transport awarded a National Rail Contract (NRC) to Great Western Railway (GWR) to continue operating the Great Western network for at least the next three years. The announcement gives the RrstGroup subsidiary some certainty as it plans for the future, during a difficult period for the railways. The new contract will run until at least 21 June 2025, with the potential for a further three years at the Secretary of State's discretion. 'We are delighted to have been awarded a National Rail Contract by the Department for Transport, which is a sign of its confidence in GWR as a trusted operator and means we can continue to build on welcoming more people back to the railway' says GWR Managing Director Mark Hopwood.
