	Rail transport in Great Britain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most of the private rail companies are heavily subsidised but much of the investment has not gone into regeneration or modernisation, and the current annual subsidy (as at 2006 of £6.5bn), is some five times greater than that granted to British Rail.
		A symbolic loss to the UK rail freight industry was the custom of the Royal Mail, which from 2004 discontinued use of its 49-train fleet, and switching to road haulage after a near 170-year-preference for trains.
		The Strategic Rail Authority is the statutory strategic planning and coordinating body for the rail industry, and the guardian of passenger and freight interests.

	Railway Technology - East Coast Main Line Rail Route Upgrading - United Kingdom
		Although capital investment is a major problem in the UK, the upgrading of the 393-mile (632km) rail route between London and Edinburgh, and its key divergences serving Leeds, Bradford and Glasgow, remains amongst infrastructure-owner Network Rail's largest projects.
		Network Rail believes the ideal solution is a 'six-track' railway over 100 miles, made by refurbishing under-used parallel routes to the ECML.
		The main constraint on growth is the lack of capacity imposed by basic track layouts and signalling systems, particularly at the London end, where inter-city, commuter and regional trains fight for the paths.
