The Second Rail Industry Research Strategy (RIRS2)
The Second Rail Industry Research strategy (RIRS2) has been developed from a programme of consultation and workshops with representatives of the Rail Industry.
This work was carried out by TRL and supported by DfT with the prime purpose of building upon the strengths of the First Rail Industry Research Strategy (RIRS1) and gaining industry-wide consensus on the actions now required to improve the effectiveness of rail research.
