Network Rail Limited is the owner and infrastructure manager of most of the railway network in Great Britain. It is a public body and reinvests its income in the railways.

Network Rail's main customers are the passenger train operating companies (TOCs), and freight operating companies (FOCs), which both run services on the company's infrastructure.

It is set to be integrated into a new publicly-owned railway company Great British Railways upon its planned establishment in 2027.

Stations

Network Rail owns more than 2,500 stations. It leases out most of its stations to the main train operating company serving that station. 20 stations are currently managed directly by Network Rail.
