The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has invested more than £930,000 over the past three years to enhance its data capability in an attempt to create smarter, safer and more efficient rail and road networks. 

The regulator has spent around £460,000 on new data systems, tools and consultancy, alongside £470,000 on staffing dedicated data roles as part of a wider effort to modernise how it gathers and analyses information.
