Are you aware how can AI systems complement human performance? Our research has identified seven principles for effective human-AI teams in rail. Following them will make AI solutions more likely to succeed, and more likely to be welcomed by rail staff as useful tools.

Our assessments of Great Britain's railway, published today, show Network Rail is delivering efficiently, but cost pressures remain and industry must keep focus on safety throughout rail reform.   Key findings: 🔸 Industry must retain relentless focus on safety throughout rail reform 🔸 Financial constraints on Network Rail require careful management 🔸 Network Rail taking action where train performance needs to improve 🔸 Passenger train punctuality is largely stable, but cancellations have reached record highs, with train operator cancellations the dominant factor.   As the industry undergoes rail reform, our Chief Executive John Larkinson emphasises that, "the mainline rail network is at a turning point" and stresses the need for relentless focus on planning and delivery.   Read our full annual reports: orr.gov.uk/yearinrail
