Great British Railways Transition Team (GBRTT) will officially take up residence in Derby next week at a new, temporary office located right next to Derby Railway Station.
This will give GBRTT an official presence in the city, while the search for a permanent home for Great British Railways (GBR) continues.
Since Derby was confirmed as the new home of GBR, the Council and other local partners have been working with the Transition Team to define a vision that aligns with the Council’s plans for the city.
This would act as a hub for the wider rail industry, propelling innovation and new thinking. The search will build on GBRTT’s work with Derby City Council and local partners to define a shared vision for the headquarters, following a public competition where the city was chosen in March 2023.
Earlier this year the government published its draft Rail Reform Bill – the legislation needed to create GBR. When passed, it will bring together responsibility for both track and train in a single organisation, to make the railway simpler to use, more efficient to run and better for the country as a whole. The draft bill is now being scrutinised by Parliamentarians and industry.
