It seems to be more of a discussion document for Control Period 5 and beyond.
That is what this document is, it is a pan National Rail industry consultation document, it is at this stage very high level

There is however surprisingly little reference to HS2▸ (The next High Speed line(s)).


I expect that's because it will probably be funded outside the SOFA/HLOS▸ (High Level Output Specification - the DfT's High Level Output Specification, which has specified to Network Rail the outputs that need to be delivered within a Control Period (CP)) system, it isn't really a Network Rail project, and even where there'll be an interface with NR» (Network Rail - home page) it will probably not be happening until well into CP6▸ (Control Period 6 - The five year period between 2019 and 2024)...

Paul

CLPG is correct CP5▸ (Control Period 5 - the five year period between 2014 and 2019) funding is to do with the funding for the "classic National Network" HS2 and indeed HS1▸ (High Speed line 1 - St Pancras to Channel Tunnel) are outside the scope of the document as NR do not own these lines

There is more information been added to Network Rail's website, there is an itemised list of enhancements that has appeared.

"Definition of proposed CP5▸ (Control Period 5 - the five year period between 2014 and 2019) enhancements", a 150 page pdf, written in a similar format to the existing CP4▸ (Control Period 4 - the five year period between 2009 and 2014) enhancement plans.
