The 'How' Common Solutions
We have identified the most important enablers of sustainable rail, which cut across all sustainable rail topics – we refer to these as ‘common solutions’. They make it clear ‘how’ the rail industry can successfully deliver against it’s sustainability objectives.
We highlight relevant common solutions throughout the Blueprint, illustrating how they interlink across the topic goals and aims.
The Blueprint presents 6 common solutions, identified as the primary enablers of sustainable rail.

Zero Emission Traction
A clear investment pathway to clean, decarbonised traction needs to be agreed and supported.
Seamless Journeys
Rail must fully integrate as part of a sustainable, joined-up transport system to support the shift of people and goods onto railways.
Nature-Based Solutions
An industry-wide approach to nature-based solutions is needed, to maximise the social and environmental benefits of rail industry land.
Social Value
Social value must be adopted and embedded across the industry to increase quality of life and maximise the benefits of rail to society.
Data Framework
A data framework is needed to measure, collate, and report progress against sustainable rail goals.
Culture for Sustainability
Making sustainability part of everything we do must be a core pillar of the culture of the rail industry.
