Railways Act 1993 (1993 c 43)

The Railways Act 1993 marked the privatisation of the British rail industry, previously under state control by British Rail. The Act implemented the separation of railway infrastructure management, undertaken by Railtrack, from train operations, offered via franchising to private sector operators. The core aim was to introduce competition, enhance efficiency, and improve services through private investment. It established the Office of Rail Regulation for oversight and created the Passenger Rail Franchising Director to manage franchise agreements, thus restructuring the industry to attract private sector innovation and capital.
