because network rail is effectively the nationalised pa rt rail is effectively the nationalised partays. the operating railway on a day—to—day basis now pays for itself, which has never happened before, but there are issues at network rail of the cost and efficiency which needs to be addressed and part is the relationship between the train operators and network rail falls example network rail has to pay the train operators compensation when a network is not available yet there is no real incentive for the operators to press network rail to minimise its time on the railway. there needs to be much more co—operation at ground level between operators and network rail to get thejob is done quickly operators and network rail to get the job is done quickly and efficiently, and that is what benefits passengers. marginal harris of rail magazine. now the weather with phil avery. thank you. a quiet day across the british isles. a quieter day than saturday, a wee bit of brightness, derbyshire looking nice although it's quite slow elsewhere. if the fog formed last night some areas will hold onto
