West Midlands Rail Executive


West Midlands Rail Executive is a British municipally owned corporation which was formed to manage rail transport policy in the West Midlands region of England. It is jointly owned by a partnership of 16 local authorities.
Established in December 2017, WMR has joint responsibility for overseeing rail services running within the region along with the Department for Transport, a central government department. In particular, it oversees the operations of the train operating company West Midlands Trains, which commenced operations on 10 December 2017.
It should not be confused with Transport for West Midlands, the authority responsible for transport in the smaller West Midlands County.
