    Rather than selling off Network Rail assets, this paper suggests taxes, cutting waste and better accountability as ways to tackle funding problems. It argues that while the infrastructure owner “could improve its cash flow in the short term through selling its assets, it will lose permanent long-term income.” Among other recommendations, the paper calls for “a moratorium on the sale of Network Rail assets.”
