Network Rail is the owner and infrastructure manager of most of the rail network in England, Scotland and Wales. Network Rail runs, maintains and develops Britain's rail tracks, signalling, bridges, tunnels, level crossings and many key stations, having taken over from previous owner Railtrack in October 2002 with a mandate from the UK Government to improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of the railways.

Network Rail is structured as a company limited by guarantee, meaning that rather than shareholders it has members who hold the Board of Directors to account for their management of the business. From 1 July 2015 all the members were removed leaving the special member, the Secretary of State for Transport, as the sole member of Network Rail, and it is classified as a central government body.
