An ORR spokesperson said:
We welcome the CMA report on rail competition, which explores the opportunities for more competition on our railways in the longer-term. ORR highlighted this opportunity in our long-term regulatory framework statement of 2013 and has supported the CMA's work in this area.
ORR recognises the benefits that competition can bring to passengers and will continue working closely with the CMA to explore how these options might be implemented in practice, and how they might deliver benefits for rail users whilst protecting taxpayers interests
