| Variance text: | The BUDGET provided is based on the Secretary of State's Statement of Funds Available (SOFA) which was published in July 2012 as part of the Control Period 5 HLOS. The FORECAST provided is based on the current net resource and capital position, based on the most up-to-date Long Term Forecast for Rail, at the time of reporting. The resource FORECAST is based on the in year Support for Passeneger Rail Services position, which has improved significantly as a result of increase in revenues. The capital FORECAST is based on the Office of Rail and Road Final Determination from 31 October 2013. The Determination sets out the amount of capital grant the DfT provides to Network Rail in 2012/13 prices. This is inflated using the latest Office for Budget Responsibility indicators to produce the forecast. The amount of grant Network Rail receive in each year of Control Period 5 is recalculated in this way annually and detailed in the Deed of Grant. As such, inflation risk remains. |
