NETWORK RAIL KEEPS ITS PROMISE

Region & Route:: | Southern

Following reports from the Chronicle about the state of the railway land at Borough Green station, Network Rail sent out staff to tidy the area. Jenny Sacre, Network Rail spokesperson said: "We do take our land ownership responsibilities seriously and have cleared the land at Borough Green station, collecting bags and bags of litter. We hope that local people now see that this area has been cleared and try to keep it clear by taking litter home with them. We will continue to work with South Eastern Trains and the council for a long term solution."

About Network Rail

We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.

Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
