ORRs assessment of Network Rail Scotland shows train service performance was mixed and its annual efficiency target was missed. The Office of Rail and Roads (ORR) annual assessment of Network Rail Scotland (April 2021 to March 2022) shows it has been a challenging year for the region with missed efficiency targets and mixed train service performance. In the report, the rail regulator raises concerns about Network Rail Scotland's delivery of efficiencies. The region missed its efficiency target for the year, delivering around £64 million of efficiencies against a target of £82 million, representing a 21% shortfall. In comparison, most of Network Rail's other regions exceeded their efficiency targets for the year.
