The freight sector delivers a sizeable £2.5bn in economic benefits to Great Britain per year. It’s also a safe and sustainable mode of transporting goods. With credentials like these, it’s clear why operators and the government want to move more freight by rail. But how do we grow safely?

Supporting freight safety and growth is a priority for RSSB. Our Head of Research Delivery talks about our freight research programme in this video: https://youtu.be/hFkQ-6IN0D4?si=BFuYAkwe9FBNiENo. Meanwhile, our business plan (https://www.rssb.co.uk/our-business-plan) provides an overview of our work in this area.
