## Annex C   Record Of Stakeholder Engagement

Within the timescales of this publication the Inquiry invited contributions from a wide range of parties. The Inquiry wrote to interested parties in October 2018 welcoming any comments on Part D of the Network Code and the timetabling process, system operation and programme management of system wide risks.  The Inquiry received several written submissions and these were followed-up, where appropriate, with bilateral discussions in person. There were two workshops: firstly, a high-level session that focused on systemic risk and programme management; secondly, a working-level session with practitioners, hosted and coordinated by RDG, that focused on the detail of timetabling process as laid down in Part D of the Network Code, and potential aspirations for Network Rail's forthcoming review. The Inquiry also met with expert programme management professionals and the Inquiry is grateful for their engagement. The insights into governance and institutional structure of large scale programmes, including from outside the rail industry, were valuable. Stakeholders were given a further opportunity to provide written comments on the draft recommendations. This helped to improve the clarity and focus of the document. A record of stakeholder engagement as part of Phase 2 of the Inquiry is listed below.
