FR2 works across the whole delivery chain on rail and transport programmes — for the operators who run the network, the agencies that fund and approve the work, the consultants who design it, and the contractors who build it. Sitting across all four gives the same programme a different look from each side, which is usually where the buildability and staging problems show up first.
