The station condition scores reflect the average condition of stations within each station category, defined on the previous page . 1 is the highest possible condition and 5 is the lowest.Sensible
management of maintenance and renewals would suggest that the average station condition score should be around 2.2–2.3 (although many stations will outperform that).
The score predictions in this table are based on the maintenance and renewal expenditure set out in this NMS.

The score we published in the 1998 NMS was 37%.The data for this was collected during 1995 and 1996. We are pleased to report the much impr oved result which
reflects the in vestment we ha ve made in renewing the equipment. We believe it is important that the output of carriage washers is measured,and to do this we commission survey
reports on the quality of wash provided by each of the carriage washers on the network.The results of these surveys,which are compiled by an independent consultancy, were used as the data
source for the derivation of the quality index included in the table above. It should be noted that the results of these surveys are heavily influenced by the manner in which equipment is
operated,and also by the speed at which vehicles are driven through the washer. We are committed to enhancing the performance of the carriage washers on the network.We therefore plan
to resurvey all carriage washers using the same methodology during 1999,and to publish these results in the 2000 NMS.
The score predictions in this table are based on the maintenance and renewal expenditure set out in this NMS.
