Network rail have just put out a batch of Strategic Business Plans for CP7. They are not a fun read, unless you like wading through buzzword-infested boilerplate. But there are clues in there as to what NR» (Network Rail - home page) (head office and the regions) intend to do with the £40 million plus they've been given to play with.

This is the main page, with links to the national plan, and plans for each region and "function"; e.g. the Wales and Western Plan.
