GNER welcomes today’s news that the High Court has agreed to hold a judicial review into the decision by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) to grant track access rights to open access operators on the East Coast Main Line.

The hearing, which is expected to last for a week, will start on Monday, 10 July.

GNER believes that the ORR’s decision is discriminatory, amounts to an unlawful grant of state aid, is a distortion of competition and is in contravention of European Community and national law.
