Network Rail takes over outsourced rail maintenance

By July 2004 some 16,000 maintenance staff, over 5,000 road vehicles, 600 depots and a network of 11 training centres had been transferred to create a single rail maintenance operation. Jarvis withdrew from its three contracts in October 2003 and were followed a systematic transfer in the remaining contract areas. Network Rail achieved significant improvements in performance with the new in-house operation, for example reducing delays in Thames Valley, Wessex and East Midlands by 21%, 20% and 22% respectively (Network Rail, 2004).
