Network Rail has reassured passengers that services will be running as normal today after Carillion went into liquidation.
Carillion was the second biggest supplier of maintenance services to Network Rail.
A Network Rail spokesperson told Transport Network: 'Carillion’s work for Network Rail continues for the time being as Network Rail works with the official receiver and special manager to ensure the continuity of its project work.
'Passengers can be reassured that their services will be running as normal today as Carillion's work for Network Rail does not involve the day-to-day running of the railway.
'Our aim is to ensure, as far as possible, that this news has as little impact as possible on our projects to grow and expand the railway network.'
The Cabinet Office has pledged to step in to deliver Carillion's public sector contracts but will not bailout the entire firm.
