Date: 2001-2006
History: The Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) was a non-departmental public body set up under the Transport Act 2000 to provide strategic leadership to the railway industry in succession to the British Railways Board and the Director of Passenger Rail Franchising. Initially a Shadow SRA was established in 1999, and the SRA was then placed on a formal legal basis by the 2000 Act and came into existence on 1 February 2001. BRB (Residuary) Ltd was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SRA. The SRA was wound up on 1 December 2006 following the passing of the Railways Act 2005, and its functions variously transferred to the Department for Transport Rail Group, to Network Rail and some to the Office of Rail Regulation.
