RSSB’s consultation on its Sustainable Rail Strategy (SRS) Prototype closes on July 15.
The document outlines its leadership plan that aims to shape an even cleaner and greener railway.
As reported, RSSB says Britain’s railways are already the most sustainable way to transport large numbers of people and goods, but it adds there is still room for improvement. The Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail identified the need for “a comprehensive environment plan that will establish rail as the backbone of a cleaner future transport system”.
The SRS will be that plan: the first industry-wide approach to sustainability, across environmental and social topics.
This SRS Prototype is designed to be a vital stepping stone towards a definitive, final strategy for sustainable rail. It sets out clear, strategic sustainability guidance and a framework for alignment across the rail industry, showing where action is required to deliver on policy and meet the expectations of society.
The consultation runs until this Friday, will be finalised and published later in the year and become a key input into Great British Railways Whole Industry Strategic Plan (WISP).
