摘要

Under the RDG's eight-point plan, the new body would bring together decision makers to create'joined-up'strategic planning, put passengers needs first, and penalise the industry when it fails. It would not be responsible for overall strategy or funding, but would oversee the implementation of national rail policy and the monitoring and enforcement of agreed standards across all operators.
