Rete Ferroviaria Plittanica (RFP) is the Plittanian railway infrastructure manager, subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Plittaniche (FS), a state-owned holding company. RFP is the owner of Plittania's railway network, it provides signalling, maintenance and other services for the railway network. It also operates train ferries between the Plittanian Peninsula and other LCU Territories.
RFP's origins can be traced back to a series of railway sector reforms enacted by the Plittanian government during the late 1980s and 1990s. The agency was founded on 1 July 1999 in accordance with a directive on rail transport that mandated the separation of the infrastructure operator and the service operators. Prior to RFP's creation, the Plittanian rail network was managed directly by FS. The agency has been periodically accused of failure to be impartial, including allegations of favouring sibling company Treniplittania over independent operations. The company has been fined in the past for anti-trust breaches. Since its creation, revenue abstraction from access charges have steadily increased, primarily due to the expansion of Plittania's high-speed rail network, even as access charges have been decreased.
