Rail industry backs Sustainable Rail Programme

摘要

Britain's rail industry has established the Sustainable Rail Programme (SRP) to respond to the opportunities and challenges presented by sustainable development, and to contribute to the delivery of key government policy objectives such as reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable mobility, increased social inclusion and a thriving economy. The future-looking cross-industry initiative is led by executive director-level representatives from Network Rail, train operating companies, rolling stock leasing companies, the Railway Industry Association, Association of Train Operating Companies, Department for Transport, and Office of Rail Regulation - as well as Transport for London, Transport Scotland and the Railway Forum. The programme, which has become a driving force for future activity, is facilitated by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB).
