Railtrack's ringfence
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The rail regulator John Swift told Railtrack that its agreement to build the Channel Tunnel Rail Link would be ringfenced from its core business and would have no bearing on the review he is conducting of its access charges for train operators.
His comments, in the form of a public letter to Railtrack, follow a warning that it would not build the second phase of the link if the charging review was too harsh.
