West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE) 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.[1][2]
It should not be confused with Transport for West Midlands, the authority responsible for transport in the smaller West Midlands County.
