Review of Network Rail's Condition Management of Depot Plant Assets

The project is being commissioned to support ORR activities including: • Assess the conditions of depot plant; • Assess the management process and supporting asset management strategies; • Be assured that maintenance and renewal (M&R) strategies agreed between Network Rail and Depot Facility Operators to manage depot plant are adequate to support rolling stock to deliver the level of customer service required and do not limit the operation of national infrastructure; and • Understand any impact of current conditions of depot plant on Network Rail's planning for Control Period CP7 with respect to asset sustainability and renewal plans. The above will then help to provide ORR assurance that M&R activities being undertaken in CP6 are in line with best practice and to identify opportunities for improvement ahead of the periodic review 2023 (PR23).
