Editor’s note

elcome to the 2020 edition of the Rail Professional Supply Chain Directory. This is a complete source for products and services from a rail supply chain of around 3,500 firms, together with the key information needed about the serious business of running the railways for the people who do that – the rail professionals. Our annual overview of the rail industry in the United Kingdom provides up to date information on all the major regulatory bodies, franchise holders, passenger and freight operating companies and all other rail-affiliated organisations in the country. We also outline the principles and activities of most of the major stakeholders in the rail support industry. Chief among these are the membership organisations that represent the interests of the rail industry in a variety of capacities. All of the information available in this directory is essential for any individual or company looking to make it in the rail industry in 2020. Within these pages you’ll find the names and contact information of every major company operating in the rail sector, synopses of what each TOC has done to enhance its offering in and a look ahead for where investment will be going in 2020 and beyond.

Each profile provides a short history of the organisation, its purpose and structure and any recent or future activities. There is also a list of each company’s key personnel and contact information. The first section, Government and Regulatory, features profiles of all Government bodies with a responsibility for rail at both the national and sub-national level as well as other organisations that advise the Government on matters relating to rail safety and consumer protection. The second, Infrastructure, looks at companies responsible for major projects, such as Network Rail and HS2. The third and fourth sections look at companies that hold rail franchises, holding companies, and the passenger operating companies that operate trains on the routes. The fifth section holds profiles on all the major freight operating companies in the United Kingdom. The second half of the directory features editorials on a wide variety of topics including civil engineering, surveying, electrification, depots and fleet maintenance as well as articles on geotechnical, environmental and legal topics.

UK Rail in 2020

Foreword If 2019 was tumultuous, 2020 is set to be equally challenging for growth in the railway industry. Darren Caplan, Chief Executive, Railway Industry Association looks back at 2019 and previews the year ahead

019 has been a highly tumultuous year, as demonstrated by its ending in a Brexit election and a majority Conservative Government led by Boris Johnson. What a change from the start of the year, with Theresa May at the helm of an ungovernable Parliament. In the rail sector, we’ve similarly seen uncertainty and change. Network Rail’s reorganisation came into play in June, with the regions and routes taking on greater responsibility as the body moves to a more devolved structure. In November, the regions took on accountability for the delivery of all projects within their borders, including track and signalling and the creation of ‘Network Services’ which will manage national operations, security, telecoms, freight, national performance and passenger information during disruption. Then, there is the Williams Rail Review, now delayed to 2020. The Review is widely reported as calling for a significant change in the structure of the industry, with a new ‘guiding mind’ body and changes to how track and train work together. Closely followed by the Oakervee Review into HS2, with recommendations still unconfirmed. Clearly the rail industry must continue to make the case for the project as an essential piece of infrastructure for the UK and its economy. Brexit has seen a change in not just Prime Ministers, but also reshuffles resulting in new Transport, Rail and Business Secretaries and Ministers. And the changes look set to continue, with speculation that the new government could radically reshape the civil service and government department system. For rail businesses looking at a post-Brexit world, the asks are clear, with continued access to a skilled workforce, standards as harmonised as possible, and trade as frictionless as possible on many wish lists. In terms of Brexit opportunities, rail needs to look at how rail can increase exports around the world and ensure it is one of the key sectors Government promotes when negotiating trade deals. The year ahead So, what does the year ahead have in store? It is always difficult to predict the future, but an independent ComRes survey for the Railway Industry Association (RIA) at the end of 2019 tells us that rail businesses have real concerns about 2020. The poll of 174 rail business leaders showed that more than half, 53 per cent, do not expect the industry to grow in 2020 whilst 28 per cent expect the industry to contract; and two in five, 39 per cent, did not expect their own business to grow, with 18 per cent saying it was likely to contract. This is clearly worrying. Many in the rail industry say that a combination of a slow start to CP6, boom, bust and volatility in rail investment – whether track or train – the lack of visibility and consistency in upcoming rail work, delayed decision-making on major projects like HS2, Transpennine Route Upgrade and Crossrail 2, the major industry restructures with the Williams Rail Review and Network Rail’s reorganisation, and Brexit uncertainty, are all combining to dampen expectations for the year ahead. Positively, we should reflect on the fact that the case for rail investment seems to have been accepted. The new government’s Queen’s Speech last December set out an ambitious programme of rail infrastructure investment including supporting HS2 (assuming Oakervee gives the green light), the Midlands Rail Hub, Northern Powerhouse Rail and proposals to reopen lines closed in the so-called ‘Beeching’ cuts. We also ask the Government to commit to other major rail infrastructure projects like Transpennine Route Upgrade, Crossrail 2, and a rolling programme of electrification, all of which are required to unlock capacity, increase connectivity and boost investment across the UK. Capacity in the UK’s railways really does need a significant boost; and

it is clear we also need to decarbonise, digitalise and improve efficiency on both the existing and future network. And there needs to be a renewed focus on delivering an ambitious programme of renewals and enhancements in the current funding period (CP6), as well as a better balance of the fleet between new and upgraded trains. We look forward to seeing more details in the coming weeks and months. RAIL 2050 – a long-term manifesto for the rail industry RIA and our members believe that the solution to both inconsistency in rail infrastructure funding and volatility in rolling stock is for a longerterm view of the rail sector. Ahead of the publication of the political party manifestos, RIA published RAIL 2050, our manifesto for a longterm, sustainable railway. The key ask in the manifesto is for a 30 year view of the rail industry, matching the timeframe for rail projects. This plan would address the concerns expressed by rail leaders, calling on government to: • Develop a long term, 30-year, strategy. • Smooth ‘boom and bust’ in rail infrastructure/improve visibility of enhancement projects. • Develop a better balance in the train fleet between new and upgraded trains. • Decarbonise the railway, through a rolling programme of electrification for intensively used lines and by using battery, hydrogen, bimode and trimode technology for other lines. • Digitalise the railway through deployment of modern digital signalling technology. • Commit to major rail projects including HS2, TransPennine Route Upgrade, Northern Powerhouse Rail, East West Rail, Midlands Rail Hub and Crossrail 2, amongst others. • Work with the rail industry to set priorities for innovation and collaboration between rail organisations. • Consider the role of the rail industry as a key UK exporter, when developing new trade agreements. Being positive and being innovative Of course, it is important to remind ourselves that we work in a fantastic and fascinating sector – one that is delivering economic benefits to the UK every day. Rail provides £36 billion in economic growth and £11 billion in tax revenue each year, whilst employing some 600,000 people. And the industry will continue to collaborate to build customer-focused rail, at home and abroad in 2020. The rail supply sector will once again meet in Berlin, 22nd to 25th September, for InnoTrans, the world largest rail trade fair. RIA will continue to work together to bring new innovations into the market, through initiatives like the UK Rail Research and Innovation Network (UKRRIN), and Network Rail’s R&D activity. RIA – supporting the UK rail supply community As for the Railway Industry Association itself, 2020 marks our 145th anniversary. Our focus remains very much the same though: supporting rail businesses, as well as the wider industry. Whether it’s increasing the amount rail exports, highlighting our value to government, developing policy that supports businesses, providing a place to network and meet, helping businesses develop innovations and new technology, or simply making the case for rail supply, we will be here to support the industry. If you’re interested in finding out more about the work we do, just give us a call or send us an email – we’re always happy to help, so together we can build bigger and better customer-focused rail at home and abroad in 2020 and the years ahead.

Department for Transport A Government department overseeing transport has existed since 1976, with the current iteration referred to as the Department for Transport having existed since 2002

he Department for Transport’s (DfT) focus is to deliver a transport system that works for everyone. By always putting passengers and motorists first, we will make people’s journeys safer, cleaner, faster and more affordable today, while building the capacity we need for tomorrow. The Department’s work is directed and overseen by the Secretary of State, Grant Shapps, and his Ministerial team which is made up of four MPs and one Lords Minister. The Minister of State Chris Heaton-Harris and Parliamentary Undersecretary Paul Maynard are both directly involved in rail. DfT Rail Group The DfT Rail Group is a single, integrated section of the DfT. Its role is to provide strategic direction and funding to the railways in England and Wales, as well as to procure rail franchises and projects.

Structure The Rail Group has two Directors General who oversee six separate areas: • One Railway and Security • Passenger Services • Rail Corporate & Business • Rail Infrastructure North • Rail Infrastructure South • Rail Strategy, Reform and Analysis Passenger Services is divided into: Contract Design & Management, Franchise Management, Markets, Passenger Experience Policy, Rail Finance, Performance and Operations Objectives The Rail Group’s objectives are to ensure the delivery of improved operational and financial performance, and safety, on the railway. It is also tasked with securing appropriate rail passenger services at an acceptable price through effective

specification and procurement. The Group develops and delivers a robust, affordable and sustainable strategy for the development of the railway that supports wider transport objectives and ensures the cost-effective and timely delivery of major rail projects. The Scottish Government takes responsibility for all of the above in Scotland. Rail Review The Government will shortly bring forward reforms from the Williams Rail Review – the first root and branch review of the rail industry in a generation. These will be published as a white paper. The review has been led by independent Chair Keith Williams, Chair of Royal Mail and former Chief Executive of British Airways. He has focused strongly on improvement for passengers and considered all parts of the sector including its structure and the commercial model. Network Rail Network Rail is a central Government body which operates as a ‘not for dividend’ company regulated by the Office of Rail and Road. It owns, operates, maintains and develops Britain’s railway and is responsible for ensuring that the railway is safe and reliable. As NR’s sole Member, the Secretary of State for Transport is accountable to Parliament for the activities and performance of Network Rail. A framework agreement published in July 2019 stipulates that the Secretary of State has the power to appoint and dismiss the Chair of Network Rail and approve the board’s suggested candidate for Chief Executive. The Secretary of

State also determines the Rail Investment Strategy and Statement of Funds Available which contain the Government’s plans for investment on the network Oversight The DfT oversees the British Transport Police Authority (BTPA) and Transport Focus. The Chair and Board members of the BTPA are appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport directly. Transport Focus has a board of non-executive members appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport (a Chair and five members). Transport Focus is the statutory independent consumer watchdog for Britain’s rail passengers. The TF Board has three other members (in addition to the five appointed by the SofS) who are appointed by Scottish Ministers, the National Assembly for Wales and the London Assembly . The British Transport Police Authority is the oversight body for the BTP, the specialist police force for the rail network across Great Britain. The Office of Rail and Road is the independent safety and economic regulator for the railways. The Secretary of State appoints the Chair and other Board members. The Secretary of State issues the ORR with general guidance in respect of the exercise of its rail functions. The ORR is responsible for assessing whether the Secretary of State’s proposals are deliverable by Network Rail within the level of public funding available. London and Continental Railways (LCR) is wholly owned by the Department of Transport and High Speed Two (HS2) Limited is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Transport.

The East West Railway Company (EWRC) is a non-departmental public arm’s length body set up by the Government to accelerate the East West Rail project – a new rail link between Cambridge and Oxford. EWRC works with the Department for Transport. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) works with the DfT but independently investigates accidents to improve railway safety and inform the industry and the public.

Transport Scotland (CÒmhdhail Alba) Transport Scotland is the national transport agency for Scotland, responsible for delivering the Scottish Government’s vision for transport

ransport Scotland’s vision, as set out in the National Transport Strategy (NTS2), is for Scotland to have a sustainable, inclusive, safe and accessible transport system which will help to deliver a healthier, fairer and more prosperous Scotland for communities, businesses and visitors. Transport Scotland is an executive agency of the Scottish Government and is accountable to Parliament and the public through Scottish Ministers. Transport Scotland also provides input from a Scottish perspective on reserved rail issues such as: European directives, cross-border rail franchises, the Equality Act and safety and standards. Rail directorate The Rail directorate is responsible for planning and delivering rail policy, strategy and development. It carries out appraisals of capital projects, advises on rail investment decisions and provides the specification of railway outputs that the Scottish Government will wish to buy. The Rail directorate is also responsible for managing the ScotRail and Caledonian Sleeper franchise contracts, specifying and funding Network Rail’s high-level delivery responsibilities in Scotland, and liaising with the Office of Rail and Road in specifying and funding the outputs expected from Network Rail. Transport Scotland has invested over £8 billion in the railway since 2007, which has resulted in: • new fleets of modern electric trains • new and improved services through the ScotRail and Caledonian Sleeper franchises • 47 miles of new railway, including the Borders Railway • 252 miles of electrified lines • 15 new stations by summer 2020. Cross-border links Transport Scotland is also looking at crossborder links and, in particular, the economic and environmental benefits that high-speed rail can bring to Scotland. Cross-border passenger services are operated under franchises specified and awarded by the Department for Transport (apart from the Caledonian Sleeper services). Rail freight The rail freight sector is a vital part of Scotland’s economy. The Scottish

Government’s vision is for a competitive, sustainable rail freight sector that plays a significant and increasingly important role in Scotland’s economic growth and provides a safer, greener and more efficient way of transporting goods and materials. This vision is backed by a £25 million Scottish Strategic Rail Freight Fund for the period 2019 to 2024. The fund will support the development and delivery costs of proposals for minor-medium freight interventions aimed at improving the capacity and capability of the Scottish network for rail freight. Stations There are currently 360 railway stations in Scotland. Network Rail manages Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley. The railway station at Prestwick Airport is owned and managed by the airport authority. The rest are leased to and operated by ScotRail. Scottish stations have improved significantly after considerable investment over the last few years. ScotRail has invested around £20 million in delivering front line improvements to passenger facilities at stations. The Scottish Government also provided £20 million for small schemes between 2006 and 2008, improving station

facilities across the country. Transport Scotland is committed to ensuring that these facilities are maintained and improved over the course of the current franchise, with further investments being made at stations to support smart ticketing and integrated travel. Investment includes enhanced cycle facilities, upgraded ticket vending machines, multi-modal customer information screens and smart ticketing equipment.

Transport for Wales (Trafnidiaeth Cymru) Transport for Wales is a not for profit company, wholly owned by the Welsh Government

ransport for Wales (Trafnidiaeth Cymru) exists to drive the Welsh Government’s vision of a high quality, safe, integrated, affordable and accessible transport network for the people of Wales. A better, more integrated public transport system is a key driver in the delivery of the Welsh Government’s national strategy which is summed up as ‘prosperity for all’. Transport for Wales focuses on planning, commissioning and managing efficient transport by creating transport networks fit for the future that will contribute to the long-term sustainability of Wales. The intention is to create a rail service that benefits the whole of Wales, as well as communities along the border in England and to this end Transport for Wales is: • Working to bring the rail service into line with the regulations for persons of reduced mobility ensuring everyone can benefit from a better service • Committed to meeting the requirements of the Welsh Language Standards by providing better Welsh Language services • Improving integration with active travel routes making it easier for people to walk and cycle to and from stations • Working with bidders to ensure they invest in the skills of their staff and suppliers and that local people have opportunities for employment • Investing around £738 million to transform the valley lines to Treherbert, Aberdare, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhymney and Coryton, electrifying around 107 miles of track and upgrading infrastructure to enable improved journey times and more trains every hour. From 2023, an £800 million investment will ensure that 95 per cent of journeys are on new trains. More than half the trains will be assembled in Wales. By December of that year, an extra 285 (29 per cent) more services will run every weekday, including improvements on the Ebbw Vale, Cambrian and Heart of Wales lines and the North Wales Metro (Wrexham-Bidston). A new service will link Cardiff and Liverpool via Wrexham. From December 2019, an extra 186 more services will run across Wales on Sundays. This will create more than six hundred new jobs, including two hundred new ontrain customer service staff, and add thirty

apprenticeships per year. An investment of £194 million will be made in station improvements with at least five new stations planned. A £15 million fund will make stations more accessible, and the launch of a new app allowing customers requiring assistance to ‘turn up and go’ will be available from April 2020. On top of that at least 1,500 new car parking spaces will be created and by 2023 the availability and quality of ticketing facilities will be transformed. Delay Repay for delays of above 15 minutes was introduced from January 2019. Stations and overhead wires will be powered by a hundred per cent renewable energy, with at least fifty per cent sourced in Wales. Free end-to-end internet access will be available on 85 per cent of journeys by 2024 and smart ticketing will be rolled out across Wales and the Borders. Validators on the South Wales Metro will enable pay-as-you-go flexible ticketing. Elsewhere, customers will be able to use mobile tickets to ensure they always pay the lowest fare. Free travel for children under five years old will be extended to under elevens. Halfprice fares will be extended to 16 to 18-yearolds whilst under 16s will go free off peak. Wales and Borders and the South Wales Metro On behalf of the Welsh Government, Transport for Wales appointed an Operator and Development Partner (ODP), KeolisAmey, to the Wales and Borders Rail Service. As well as operating the Wales and

Borders Rail service, the ODP will support Transport for Wales in developing plans for, and subsequently implementing and operating, the South Wales Metro. South Wales Metro will link communities together and help to transform the economy. The South Wales Metro is an ambitious project linking people and jobs across southeast Wales in a fast, efficient and environmentally sustainable way.

Department for Infrastructure (An Roinn Bonneagair) The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) was formed in May 2016 and carries out functions previously performed by the Department for Regional Development and the Department of the Environment, both now disbanded, it operates under the direction and control of the Minister for Infrastructure

fI is staffed by Civil Servants who are accountable to the Minister, the Minister is a member of the Executive and accountable to the Assembly. The Permanent Secretary, Katrina Godfrey, is the Accounting Officer for the Department and the Minister’s principal adviser. Katrina Godfrey chairs the Departmental Board, which is a key element in the delivery of Corporate Governance within the Department. Details of all the arrangements which have been established to ensure proper and effective management of the Department’s affairs are set out in the Corporate Governance Framework. The Departmental Board comprises a further five Executive members and two nonexecutive independent members. The Strategic Human Resources Business Partner for the Department also attends Board meetings. The Department provides a capital grant to Translink for Northern Ireland Railways to operate rail services. The funding helps maintain and develop the rail infrastructure, allows rail services to operate safely and efficiently and helps make public transport an attractive alternative to private transport. Public Transport Division approves and monitors the Capital Grant allocated to Translink ensuring that projects demonstrate value for taxpayers’ money and expenditure falls within budgetary limits. The past few years have seen significant investment in the railways. From the year 2009/10 to 2018/19, the Department has funded over £430 million of capital works on the railways in Northern Ireland. The major projects currently completed or underway include:

• work will start on the Belfast Transport Hub in early 2020 with the new rail and bus station due to open in 2024 • the new train station at the North West Hub opened in October 2019 and the project, which is supported by the Interreg IV Programme, is due for completion by June 2020 • work continues on the additional train capacity project where 21 new train carriages will begin to enter service in 2021 • new ticketing project is underway covering both rail and bus services • work was completed to construct a new train station in Portrush which was opened in advance of the start of the Open held in Portrush in July 2019 • phases 1 and 2 of the Upgrade of the Coleraine to Derry railway line was completed. This paved the way for the introduction of hourly train services between Coleraine and Derry. Heritage and Tourist Railways in Northern Ireland are privately owned and run. They do not provide passenger services for the travelling public and are not funded by the Department, they are however a valuable tourist and heritage amenity. All railway operators in Northern Ireland including light and heritage railways are required to comply with all new regulations introduced by the Department to further improve railway safety. In some circumstances heritage railways operating on their own tracks and at a line speed that does not exceed 25mph may be exempted from some of the more onerous regulations

where the Department is satisfied that the safety of passengers and the general public is not compromised. The Department has responsibility for the licensing of all light railways including heritage railways operating in Northern Ireland in exercise of the powers conferred on it under section 27 of the Regulation of Railways Act 1868. The Department transposed a series of Directives into law in Northern Ireland designed to revitalise the railways and take forward the creation of an integrated European railway area. This is known as the transposition of EU directives on railway interoperability and railway safety.

Transport for London Transport for London (TfL) is the integrated transport authority responsible for delivering Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s strategy and commitments on transport

very day around 30 million journeys are made across the network and TfL keeps the city moving, runs the day-to-day operation of the Capital’s public transport network and manages London’s main roads. The services operated include London Underground, London Buses, Docklands Light Railway, London Overground, TfL Rail, London Trams, London River Services, London Dial-a-Ride, Victoria Coach Station, Santander Cycles and the Emirates Air Line. TfL provides modern ways to pay through Oyster and contactless payment cards and provides live travel information in a variety of formats to help people move around London. The TfL programme of transport capital investment is one of the world’s largest. It is modernising Tube services and stations, transforming the road network and making it safer, especially for more vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. Docklands Light Railway The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) opened in 1987 and operates as a driverless, computerised system with performance and dependability among the best in the UK. The DLR network of 45 stations has multiple connections with the Tube, buses, National Rail, Overground, river and coach services and runs 149 vehicles. The number of people using the DLR has increased rapidly, rising from ten million in the early 1990s to around 122 million in 2018/19 and the DLR route has been extended six times. The DLR is operated by KeolisAmey Docklands under a franchisee contract awarded by TfL. It operates the trains, stations and maintains much of the network. KAD took over the franchise from Serco Docklands in December 2014. A contract was awarded to Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A (CAF) in June 2019 to replace some of the oldest trains operating on the network. The new fleet of walk through trains are expected to start entering passenger service from 2023 providing a number of customer improvements, including the latest audio and visual real-time travel information, air conditioning and mobile device charging points. London Overground TfL is responsible for London Overground – a group of orbital lines serving many areas of the Capital. Launched in 2007, around a third of all Londoners are within walking distance of a London Overground station.

There are six London Overground routes that, together, form an outer London orbital network. This route travels through 23 London boroughs, as well as southern Hertfordshire and serves 112 stations. More than 189 million people used the Overground in 2018/19, compared to 33 million in 2008/09. In November 2016 Arriva began to manage the network’s stations and trains on a day-to-day basis. Network Rail manages and maintains most of the track and signals, as London Overground is part of the National Rail network. London Trams TfL took over the running of Trams in 2008 and completely refurbished the Trams network which had been created eight years earlier. Trams offer frequent services from Croydon to Wimbledon, Beckenham Junction, Elmers End and New Addington. TfL sets the specifications for tram frequency and overall performance, is responsible for fares and revenue, carries out maintenance, and plans and funds improvements and extensions to the network. The tram network has 17 miles of track, 34 trams in the fleet and 39 stops. It serves seven National Rail stations and more than fifty bus routes, nearly 29 million passengers used the service in 2018/19. Tram Operations (TOL), a subsidiary of First Group, operates trams day-to-day under a franchisee agreement with TfL. TOL’s contract will expire in 2030. London Underground London Underground, better known as the Tube, opened in 1863, it is the world’s oldest underground railway network, and one of the largest. TfL is responsible for all aspects of the Tube’s operations including running the trains, stations and control centres, making sure the Tube is safe and secure, and collecting and protecting fares revenue as well as the maintenance and renewal of most of the infrastructure used by the Tube, although some services run over track that is the responsibility of Network Rail. The Tube handles up to five million passenger journeys per day. At peak times, there are more than 543 trains in use on the eleven lines that cover 250 miles and serve 270 stations. TfL Rail/ Elizabeth line TfL started managing the Liverpool Street to Shenfield rail service in May 2015 and the running of eleven stations between Acton Main Line and Taplow (excluding Slough station) in December 2017. Those stations transferred to TfL Rail outside London were

included because they are part of an existing rail route. TfL Rail does not affect the ‘fast’ trains that serve major stops such as Southend-onSea. These are still the responsibility of the Government and run alongside TfL services. TfL has overall responsibility for the train frequency specifications, standards for station facilities and overall performance as well as fares and revenue management. TfL also plans and funds improvements of extensions to the network, and works with Network Rail, Crossrail and other stakeholders to improve those stations and trains inherited, and to build those commissioned as part of the project being constructed by Crossrail. TfL Rail saw passenger journeys increase to more than 47 million in 2016/17 from 38 million in 2015/16. The Elizabeth line is expected to open through central London in 2021.

Transport for the North Transport for the North is the country’s first Sub-national Transport Body, devolving powers from the Department for Transport to 19 constituent authorities in the North of England

ver the next thirty years, Transport for the North (TfN) want to transform the road, rail, sea and air connections to help drive long term economic growth. Their Strategic Transport Plan explains the need for investment in transport across the North and identifies the priority areas for improved connectivity. Having a reliable, resilient transport network for journeys to, from and within the

North is an integral part of the TfN vision of developing a multi-modal, long-term Strategic Transport Plan for the North of England. TfN want to connect the key economic areas of the North to drive growth, improve access to jobs and ensure the North is a great place to invest and live. The Plan will inform how the Government, Network Rail, Highways England and High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd can work with TfN to deliver investment in transport infrastructure.

Page 20 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

Civic and business leaders from across the North came together to publish the draft Strategic Transport Plan. The 30-year plan is the first of its kind and outlines how transport connections across the North of England need to be transformed over the short, medium and long term to drive sustainable economic growth. The public consultation on the draft Strategic Transport Plan and Integrated Sustainability Appraisal ran from 16th January to 17th April 2018. Northern Powerhouse Rail Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) is a major strategic rail programme, the programme promises radical changes in service patterns and target journey times and to better connect the key economic areas and cities of the North. Delivered over thirty years and combining new, existing and already planned lines, the programme will improve east-west connections, offering a huge change in journey times, reliability frequency and capacity. TfN aim to provide improved passenger and freight train services through enhanced infrastructure and radically improved rolling stock, and to support a wide programme of transformational change. This includes working closely with the rail industry to deliver the Great North Rail Project, the TransPennine Route Upgrade, smart ticketing throughout the North and, in the longer term, working to support the Northern Powerhouse Rail Programme. Northern Powerhouse Rail, together with HS2, would transform rail travel across the North, offering much faster, more frequent and reliable rail links. Northern Powerhouse Rail would link the North’s six main cities and Manchester Airport, as well as other significant economic centres. It could be developed in stages, making best use of existing rail infrastructure and planned investments (such as HS2) alongside new railway lines and significant upgrades. Currently fewer than ten thousand people in the North can access four or more of the North’s largest economic centres within an hour. This would rise to 1.3 million once Northern Powerhouse Rail is delivered. The Northern Powerhouse Independent Economic Review identified businesses that have the North’s prime capabilities and by delivering Northern Powerhouse Rail more than 40 per cent of those businesses would be within 90 minutes rail travel of four or more of the North’s largest economic centres, compared with only twelve per cent today. Transport for the North provides the strategic opportunity to join up ‘track and

Strategic Rail The Northern and TransPennine Express rail services run through 25 local authority areas, including the 19 authorities that sit on the partnership board of Transport for the North. Strategic Rail, which became a part of Transport for the North in April 2018, was formerly known as Rail North.

Instrumental in bringing transformational rail franchises to the North of England and, working in partnership with the Department for Transport through the Rail North Partnership team, TfN are now leading these franchises and engage regularly with representatives from all 25 authorities through their Rail Officer Reference Group.

Transport for West Midlands Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) is part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) - the strategic authority with powers over transport, economic development and regeneration for the West Midlands

he authority consists of 18 local authorities and four Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) working together to move powers from Whitehall to the West Midlands and its locally elected politicians. It includes the seven metropolitan West Midlands councils (constituent authorities), ten non-constituent authorities/councils and one observer council, as well as the Mayor of the West Midlands. TfWM is the executive body that oversees transportation (road, rail, bus and Metro) within the metropolitan county on behalf of the WMCA. It is responsible for assessing and planning the region’s future transport needs and coordinates the relevant investment while working with operators to improve existing services. TfWM provides rail and Metro park-and-ride facilities and works with bus operators to provide improvements, under the Bus Alliance. Improvements such as contactless fares and discounts for young people has seen passenger growth in the region at a time when numbers are falling elsewhere. HS2 Connectivity Package investment The WMCA has been a strong advocate for the planned HS2 line and has put in place a £4.4 billion HS2 Growth Strategy to make the most of HS2 arriving in the West Midlands. As part of this Growth Strategy there is a

Local Connectivity Package of 20 transport schemes to effectively ‘plug-in’ the two new HS2 stations to local transport network. These schemes include the transformational East-West Metro with tram extensions to Dudley/ Brierley Hill and through East Birmingham to North Solihull and the HS2 Interchange station. West Midlands Rail Executive The region is looking to reverse some the

Beeching cuts by reopening rail lines to passenger services for the first time in decades. These include the Camp Hill line serving suburbs in South Birmingham and the line between Walsall and Wolverhampton. Railway stations, including the busy University Station in Edgbaston, are also being rebuilt as the region prepares to host the Coventry City of Culture in 2021 and Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Local rail services are co-managed by the West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE) – a partnership of 16 local transport authorities – and the Department for Transport under the West Midlands franchise. Services are run by West Midlands Trains (a joint venture between Abellio, East Japan Railway Company and Mitsui) but branded West Midlands Railway. West Midlands Metro The first West Midlands Metro line between Birmingham and Wolverhampton opened in May 1999. It links key areas along a busy transport route serving local centres on the way. Around £1.3 billion is being invested in the expansion of the tram system and the first part of the Westside extension in Birmingham city centre, with trams running

on battery power, opened at the end of 2019. Further extensions are at different stages of development, including the construction of a line between Wednesbury and Brierley Hill, via Dudley. The Midland Metro Alliance (MMA) is a partnership of planning, design

and construction specialists building a number of new tram extensions over the coming decade on behalf of the WMCA and TfWM. The WMCA has a wholly owned company – Midland Metro Limited – which is responsible for the day-to-day running of tram services. As the country’s first Future Mobility Zone and 5G mobile Testbed the West Midlands is home to a new vehicle revolution that’s set to deliver cleaner, greener and safer transport on our roads. TfWM is working with the region’s automotive industry and universities on the development of connected and autonomous

vehicles and new cutting edge apps and services.

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) Greater Manchester is one of the country’s most successful city-regions. Home to more than 2.7 million people and with an economy larger than Wales or Northern Ireland

reater Manchester was created as a metropolitan county in 1974 as a result of the Local Government Act of 1972. For the following twelve years the county had a two-tier system of local government; district councils shared power with the Greater Manchester County Council. Then, in 1986, the County Council was abolished as a result of the Local Government Act 1985. In its place the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) was established as a voluntary association to make representations and bids on behalf of Greater Manchester and continue to manage strategic public services that were delegated to it by the councils, such as public transport. In 2009, an independent economic review of Greater Manchester highlighted the possibilities for greater collaboration and the AGMA began actively seeking a formal government structure for Greater Manchester. The ten metropolitan district councils were consulted for their recommendations before submission of their constitution to central government. These changes included extra powers and swapping ‘Manchester City Region Authority’ (MCRA) for the ‘Greater Manchester Combined Authority’ (GMCA).

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority came into force on 1st April 2011 and over the following years, several devolution agreements were signed between Government and the GMCA. These agreements brought new powers and responsibilities to the region, including transport. To deliver these devolution agreements, it was decided that Greater Manchester should have an elected Mayor to act as a directly elected point of accountability for the GMCA. The ten Greater Manchester councils that make up the GMCA are the council districts of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. The GMCA is run jointly by the leaders of the ten councils and the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham. The GMCA has monthly meetings which rotate around Greater Manchester’s ten districts, with the meetings being livestreamed on the GMCA website. Functional executive bodies, such as Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), are responsible for the delivery of services with the Transport for Greater Manchester Committee (TfGMC) and its sub committees managing the TfGM and

creating the transport policy on behalf of the GMCA, however some decisions still require approval by the GMCA. TfGM delivers the GMCA’s transport policies, by coordinating transport networks across the region, deciding where to invest transport funding, and owning and running the Metrolink tram service. TfGM is a key partner in Rail North and Transport for the North.

Transport Focus Transport Focus is the independent transport user watchdog. Its mission is to get the best deal for rail passengers

ith a strong emphasis on evidence-based campaigning and research, Transport Focus ensures that it knows what is happening on the ground. It uses its knowledge to influence decisions on behalf of passengers to secure improvements and make a difference. Transport Focus is the voice of transport users. It carries out research on transport user experiences and needs for the future. This includes the large scale National Rail Passenger Survey where over 50,000 rail passengers give their views on rail journeys twice a year. Three current areas of focus are:

• encouraging more passengers to claim compensation on delayed rail journeys • breaking down barriers to bus use • better information on roads. Structure Transport Focus is an executive nondepartmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Transport. It is run by a management team (see more below) and led by a Board of non-executive directors. Over the years it has changed its name as it took on responsibility for bus, coach and tram passengers, and then road users. Transport Focus makes major decisions at Board meetings, held in public four times

per year. Decisions are also made at monthly management team meetings. Transport Focus can have up to 14 Board members. The Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the Greater London Authority each appoint a member to the Board. The remaining appointments are made by the Secretary of State for Transport. Recruitment to the Board is based on merit. Appointments are regulated by The Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments.

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) is the Regional Transport Partnership for the west of Scotland

he Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive (GGPTE) was created in 1972 to oversee all suburban railways in the Glasgow area. In the 1980s it was replaced by the Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive (SPTE). In 1996, the Executive was reincorporated as a body consisting of councillors drawn from the 12 Council Areas which succeeded Strathclyde Region. In 2006 Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive (and Authority), along with the WESTRANS voluntary regional transport partnership, was replaced by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport. It is part of the transport framework created by the Scottish Government, which is made up of a national transport agency, Transport Scotland, and seven Regional Transport Partnerships. As part of this latest reorganisation SPT gained responsibility for planning for all regional transport (not just public transport) though it lost several specific powers relating to rail franchising and concessionary fares. Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) is the largest of the seven regional transport partnerships. SPT’s role involves planning and delivering transport solutions for all modes of transport across the region, in conjunction with member councils and industry partners. It runs the Glasgow Subway, a host of specialist bus services and is responsible for delivering public transport. The Partnership consists of 20 elected members representing the twelve constituent authorities in the west of Scotland and between seven and nine appointed members. Rail Glasgow has the largest network of suburban railway lines in the UK outside of London. SPT is no longer involved in the everyday operation of the rail network. The rolling stock was operated on behalf of SPT by First ScotRail (also part of FirstGroup) until March 2015, since April that same year Abellio ScotRail has operated rail services under the ScotRail brand. Subway The Glasgow Subway is the only underground metro system in Scotland. Originally built for the Glasgow District Subway Company, the railway first opened

in 1896. The Subway is generally recognised as the world’s third oldest underground railway, after London and Budapest. And the only one that has never been expanded from its original route. The Subway forms a circle in the centrewest of Glasgow and carries 13 million passengers each year. The entire route is underground, contained in twin tunnels, 15 stations are distributed along the route length of over six miles. Eight of the stations are north of the River Clyde which dissects the circular route. In 1977, Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive closed it for major modernisation works. The railway in its present form reopened for operation on 16th April 1980. Now part of SPT, the railway is one of the few in the UK remaining in public ownership and is ‘vertically integrated’, which means SPT’s responsibility covers all aspects of operation and infrastructure. In 2016, SPT took a significant step forward in improving its Subway and is currently undergoing its biggest modernisation programme in more than 30 years. A £288 million funding package for the work is being supported by the Scottish Government.

As well as the new trains, the Subway’s signalling equipment, control systems and control centre will all be replaced, and the upgrade will include new platform screen doors. Once the modernisation plan is complete, and it has been fully tested, the Subway will move from its current partially automatic trains to Unattended Train Operations (UTO). SPT administers a range of integrated travel tickets, such as ZoneCard, Roundabout and Daytripper giving discounted fares on buses, trains, ferries and the Subway.

Office of Rail and Road The Office of Rail and Road is a non-ministerial Government Department responsible for ensuring the country’s rail operators comply with health and safety law

oard members of ORR are appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport for a fixed term of up to five years. The staff are based at six locations across the United Kingdom, allowing them to conduct on-site inspections across the rail network. Safety recommendations ORR is responsible for ensuring that the mainline railway and London Underground operation networks are safe for passengers and workers, and that is why around a hundred ORR Safety Inspectors routinely visit worksites to monitor how projects are being run. 18th November 2017 marked 30 years since the King’s Cross fire, which tragically took the lives of 31 people and injured a hundred more. Ian Prosser, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Railways, wrote at the time about Lord Fennell’s public enquiry into the disaster and the safety recommendations that were made in the aftermath. One of these was the Safety Management System approach, which has become the basis of not only railway safety in Great Britain, where it has led to fundamental, life-saving improvements, but also throughout Europe. Following the fire, London Underground acted immediately and began stripping out all of the wooden escalators, which had proved so flammable, and replacing them with fire-resistant metal ones. Structural integrity In a document titled ‘Consultation on the goal-setting principles for railway safety’ ORR set out safety principles for the rail industry, with one area focusing on structural integrity. The document pointed out a few factors that would aid in maintaining the structural integrity of trains, like how to continue normal operations and afford effective protection to people and goods carried in the event of an accident. The main factors to consider are: • The maximum loads foreseeably arising in normal operations • The effects of a collision and the crashworthiness of the vehicle • The structural compatibility of all trains using the route • The level of containment and containment arrangements of any goods carried and any foreseeable movement that may occur

• The range and compatibility of coupling devices and other inter-train connections • Compatibility with buffer stops or similar train arrestor devices • The arrangements for lifting the vehicle for both normal maintenance and emergency situations. Case study Peter Darling, HM inspector of railways wrote about the importance of ORR inspectors leading by example – and that means putting on full personal protective equipment (PPE) before setting foot on site. Commuters know that it can be hot on the London Underground network, especially in stations and tunnels. Well, it’s even hotter at night when the trains aren’t running and pushing air through to cool things down a bit, and if you add in the effects of heavy safety boots, goggles, gloves, hard hats, ear defenders and thick trousers and jackets in a lurid bright orange, it can get really sticky down there. Fully kitted out, ORR inspectors went down into a single bore tunnel to see track maintenance work being carried out near Barons Court Station on the Piccadilly Line. Work on the Underground mainly has to be carried out in five-hour periods when the trains aren’t running, so it was around 2am when the team arrived on site. The inspectors observed closely while workers broke up concrete so they could prise out the sleepers that hold the rails in place and replace them with a new type of fitting that needs to be cemented in. Water was sprayed over the area to dampen down the silica dust whilst it is broken out, but with the noise and heat, it was a very

uncomfortable environment to work in. The work was done at pace against the clock, but ORR inspectors were there to see that workers’ health and safety was not compromised by the speed and, of course, that the work done meets rigorous safety standards.

Rail Safety and Standards Board The RSSB (Rail Safety and Standards Board) is an independent body, working with its 88 member companies to drive improvements in the British rail system

ts role is to help the rail industry continually improve its health and safety performance in order to reduce risk to rail employees, passengers and the public at large. RSSB does this through developing standards, providing analysis and insight to health and safety data, carrying out research, promoting sustainability principles, and facilitating the industry’s technology strategy. RSSB’s strategic priorities are: • Supporting healthy and safe collaboration and informing industry decisions to reduce risk and harm. • Supporting enhanced performance and efficiency updating standards, modernising systems, informing and enabling innovation. • Supporting the application of sustainability principles by collating and sharing tools and best practice. RSSB members include Network Rail and other infrastructure managers, all the train operating companies (TOCs), all the freight operating companies (FOCs), rolling stock leasing companies (ROSCOs), infrastructure contractors, and suppliers. Data sandbox RSSB collaborates with Network Rail with the Data Sandbox + research competition. The competition is aimed at developing data driven solutions to improve operational performance on GB rail. The Data Sandbox+ competition is part of the PERFORM programme which is a cross-industry initiative led by RSSB, which aims to achieve performance improvements. Essentially its aim is to run trains on time today, while improving the rail performance of tomorrow. This looks into the potential of helping rail deliver operational performance improvements by exploring advanced data analytics technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. As well as reducing costs, these provide

the opportunity to enhance the customer experience. This activity is strategically aligned with the Sector Deal and supports the Joint Rail Data Action Plan. The cross industry collaboration on Data Sandbox, consisted of five feasibility projects funded by RSSB and supported by various TOCs. RSSB launched the Data Sandbox+ competition on 4th April 2019 at the PERFORM programme launch event. The budget for the Data Sandbox+ initiative is £1.3 million, of which £650,000 was contributed by RSSB, and Network Rail matched this figure from its research and development portfolio. Five-year plan The same day the Sandbox+ competition was launched, 4th April 2019, RSSB published its 2019-2024 Business Plan, outlining how it will work over the next five years to support a safer railway into Control Period 6 (CP6) and beyond. Setting out how RSSB will meet a range of industry priorities and challenges to put passengers first, the plan focuses on the crucial areas of safety, health and wellbeing, sustainability, efficiency, innovation and the future post-Brexit. Specific 2019-2020 deliverables include: • Supporting the industry to reduce the effects of poor adhesion conditions using improved technology and procedures to achieve better reliability and resilience, including piloting double variable rate sanders on the GB mainline. • Launching a new Health by Design web hub, containing key resources for incorporating health and wellbeing within member organisations, including trialling health and wellbeing training for the workplace. • Delivering research outputs to help support industry performance as part of the PERFORM research programme, including research into enabling better planning and resource management

during train disruption. • Building on our work in CP5 to provide the functionality, guidance and training members require to use the industry’s Safety Management Intelligence System (SMIS). This is delivering the safety intelligence a world class railway needs, with better linking of data to the tools, models and systems used by the industry. • Refreshing the industry strategy for Leading Health and Safety on Britain’s Railway (LHSBR), monitoring progress through the publishing of quarterly updates, working in collaboration with the industry. • Agreeing the revised regulatory framework, including the role of standards with industry and the Regulator, in-line with post-Brexit legal framework, amending standards, policies and governance. • Developing new digital railway standards based on the requirements from the Digital Railway Programme, supporting the development of solutions so ensuring human factors are fully considered in the on-going work. • Supporting delivery of the industry’s carbon and air quality strategies including identifying, agreeing and systematically collecting environmental metrics for the rail industry to monitor.

Railway Industry Supplier Approval Scheme The Railway Industry Supplier Approval Scheme ensures key suppliers can become recognised as best-in-class at delivering the most challenging and high-risk products and services, supported by RSSB

ISAS is the Railway Industry Supplier Approval Scheme. It ensures that suppliers of critical products have the appropriate systems, processes, competence, resources, facilities and procedures. Companies undergo a challenging assessment by a Railway Industry Supplier Approval Body (RISAB). The assessment involves on-site interviews and evaluations to get proof that the company can meet the standards expected. A successful assessment leads to the award of a RISAS certificate. This is evidence that an independent, robust, rigorous and transparent assessment of the supplier has taken place, by experts. These details are added to the RISAS website which holds a searchable database of companies who hold RISAS certificates and details the products and services they cover. RSSB manages the scheme on behalf

KEY PERSONNEL

of the rail industry providing its profile and governance. RSSB also accredits the RISABs. RISAS currently covers suppliers of critical products and services for the overhaul of rolling stock assets and components – the rail vehicle after-market sector. Work is now underway to transform RISAS with a more comprehensive scope and provide better value-for-money. Future improvements include expanding the scope to all relevant safety critical products and services in infrastructure and rolling stock—as originally envisaged when the scheme was introduced. There will also be better integration with the RISQS platform to create a single, official, rail industry supplier assurance hub.

National Infrastructure Commission The NIC aims to be the UK’s most credible, forward-thinking and influential voice on infrastructure policy and strategy

he National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) is an executive agency of the Treasury that provides impartial, expert advice and makes independent recommendations to the Government on economic infrastructure. The NIC operates as an arm’s length agency of the Treasury. The Commission functions in an open and transparent manner, building consensus around its recommendations and engaging across parties and with the public, policymakers, infrastructure experts and relevant bodies. Recommendations made by the NIC represent the views of the Commission and are not a statement of Government policy. However, the Govermnent is required to respond formally to the Commission’s National Infrastructure Assessment and specific studies it undertakes. The NIC engages closely with devolved administrations and bodies under their jurisdictions as appropriate, particularly on matters where the respective infrastructure policy responsibilities of the UK Government and devolved administrations interact. The NIC ensures that appropriate working arrangements are in place. The Commission’s remit does not include spending where infrastructure investment decisions rest with the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The National Infrastructure Assessment The National Infrastructure Commission is charged with preparing a National Infrastructure Assessment once every Parliament, looking at the long-term needs of the main sectors of the UK’s economic infrastructure, including energy, transport, digital communications, waste, water and floods risk management.

The first National Infrastructure Assessment was published in July 2018, and made a series of recommendations for meeting the UK’s infrastructure needs up to 2050. Its core proposals include: • Nationwide full fibre broadband by 2033 • Half of the UK’s power provided by renewables by 2030, as part of a shift to a highly renewable generation mix • Three quarters of plastic packaging recycled by 2030 • £43 billion of stable long-term transport funding for regional cities and new devolved powers for city leaders • A national rapid charging network to support goal of 100 per cent of new car and van sales being electric by 2030 • Ensuring resilience to extreme drought through halving leakages by 2050, additional supply infrastructure and demand reduction • A national standard of flood resilience for all communities by 2050. The Assessment recommendations represent a major long-term programme of investment in the UK’s infrastructure. This includes substantial funding for major schemes such as Crossrail 2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail. The Assessment also highlights the need to shift to a low carbon economy, for example through decarbonising how the UK heats its homes and businesse Furthermore, the UK must prepare for connected and autonomous vehicles and these need more time for evidence or technology to develop. The Assessment sets

out the actions needed to enable robust decisions to be taken in future. The Young Professionals Panel The Young Professionals Panel supports and informs the Commission’s work and ensures a strong voice for the next generation of infrastructure leaders in the Commission’s work. It comprises 16 young infrastructure professionals (picked from over five hundred applicants) from a range of professions, backgrounds and regions of the country. The Panel has developed its own agenda and work programme in conjunction with the Commission.

British Transport Police Authority Founded in 2004, the British Transport Police Authority (BTPA) is responsible for ensuring an efficient and effective police force for the railways

ith the passing of the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003, the BTPA was set up to oversee the British Transport Police (BTP), review its preformance and allocate funding for its budget. It also deals with complaints, recruitment, independent custody visiting and Freedom of Information requests. Regulation of BTP The BTPA is responsible for setting objectives for the BTP before the beginning of each financial year. The BTPA announces these objectives, as well as its strategic direction and performance review through two different publications. The Policing Plan contains the Authority’s priorities for the year and the financial resources it expects to be available

to deliver the plan. The Strategic Plan sets out the Authority’s medium and long-term strategies for policing the railways. At the end of each financial year, the Annual Reports cover the policing of the railways in that year. The BTPA is also responsible for Chief Officer recruitment. These positions are: • Director of Strategy and Change • Director of People and Culture • Director of Finance and Commercial Services

Funding and budget As well as billing the rail industry for the costs of running the BTP, the BTPA determines the budget of the police force and allocates resources to individual departments. The Authority maintains the accounts of BTP and has them audited each financial year. Police Service Agreements The BTPA enters into Police Service Agreements (PSAs) with TOCs and FOCs, the PSA requires payment from the companies to the BTPA in exchange for the policing of the railway and associated property. When a new rail franchise is awarded by the Department for Transport, the winning company is usually required to enter into a new or existing PSA with the BTPA.

British Transport Police Every day, more than six million passenger journeys are made across the rail network in England, Scotland and Wales

t is the role of British Transport Police to ensure the safety of every single passenger and member of staff. With growing passenger numbers, freight kilometres and a demand for 24-hour policing, the importance of BTP has never been greater. With police forces nationally seeing an increase in violent crime, the Force has launched a strategy to tackle the issue head-on and keep serious offences as a rarity on our network. The Force also continues to be busy emphasising the importance of vigilance from both staff and passengers. Last year, specialist advisors continued to run Project Griffin counter-terrorism awareness events to thousands of attendees from the rail industry across the UK. The Force now has specialist counter-terrorism teams in the Midlands and North West and continues to operate Project Servator, which delivers unpredictable and highly visible deployments designed to deter, disrupt and detect crime, including terrorism. Protecting and supporting those who are vulnerable or otherwise at risk on the railway network continues to remain a priority for BTP. Working together with industry partners, they made 2,529 lifesaving interventions in 2018/19, a 32 per cent increase on the previous year, which meant 314 more lives were saved. They are also working closely with the National Crime Agency and other forces to extend their approach to County Lines – focusing activity to identify children and the vulnerable, in

order to safeguard them from those who seek to exploit them. Reporting crime The best advice is to always phone 999 in an emergency but otherwise, call BTP on 0800 40 50 40. Alternatively, and perhaps the best course of action, is to text 61016 – this text will then be picked up by BTP’s control room and if needed, officers can be deployed immediately.

CIRAS The Confidential Incident Reporting and Analysis Service (CIRAS) allows rail workers to report their safety, health or wellbeing concerns about facilities, equipment, conditions or procedures

IRAS was founded in 1996 by a team from Strathclyde University after the Ladbroke Grove rail crash in 1999. After the Cullen Inquiry, it was mandated that all mainline rail in the UK come under CIRAS, effective from 2000 onwards. From 2001 until 2009, the CIRAS Charitable Trust provided funding for operations. Now a subsidiary of RSSB, it provides services to the rail and other transport sectors throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Structure CIRAS is an independent service funded by its members. The CIRAS Committee consists of representatives from the UK rail industry, Transport for London, UK Light Rail, Trams and other UK transport modes.

It also consists of a selection of independent professionals who bring with them expertise from other industries, academia and Trade Unions. The Committee helps ensure that industry receives a service that is independent, confidential, affordable and focused on helping make the UK transport industry environment even safer for all concerned. Process Transport employees, as well as contractors may contact CIRAS to report a concern. The employee can get in touch via phone, web enquiry, text message, or form. A CIRAS staff member will then contact that employee to discuss the concern. The CIRAS staff member then writes up a report excluding any information that would

Page 42 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

identify the worker. CIRAS then sends that report to the company, or companies, responsible. That company then responds to CIRAS which relays that message to the rail worker. CIRAS publishes a regular newsletter to summarise the reports it has received and responses from the companies, highlighting those that were most successful. Attention is also paid to any trends or patterns that might occur.

Rail Accident Investigation Branch The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) independently investigates accidents to improve railway safety, and inform the industry and the public

ord Cullen’s inquiry report on the Ladbroke Grove rail accident in 1999 recommended the creation of an organisation to independently investigate railway accidents to improve safety. RAIB became operational in October 2005 as the independent body for investigating accidents and incidents on mainline railways, metros, tramways and heritage railways throughout the UK. RAIB employs inspectors and principal inspectors with either a professional railway or investigation background and gives them extensive training in railway operations, railway engineering and investigating. Including the inspectors and the team who provide essential business support, RAIB has a total staff of 43 people. Investigations are focused solely on improving safety. RAIB are not a prosecuting body and do not apportion blame or liability. Possible breaches of legislation are dealt with by other organisations, usually the police and safety authorities. RAIB’s responsibilities are: • To investigate causes of railway accidents and incidents where it believes investigation will bring safety learning to the industry. • Identify the factors that may lead to a similar accident or make the consequences worse. • Highlight gaps in the railway industry’s safety defences that are revealed during investigations. • Make recommendations to prevent the same thing happening again. • Increase awareness of how railway accidents happen and cooperate with other investigation organisations nationally and internationally to share and encourage good practice.

Whenever RAIB investigates, it publishes the results as an investigation report. RAIB also produces safety digests that highlight learning points which have emerged from the preliminary examination of an event. RAIB investigates accidents and incidents which occur on the UK main line networks (Network Rail and Northern Ireland Railways), London Underground, other metro systems, tramways, heritage railways and the UK part of the Channel Tunnel. Operators of these types of railway and tramway have a duty under the law to notify RAIB of some types of accidents and incidents. RAIB monitors operations on the major networks through various industry reporting systems and has the legal power and discretion to decide to investigate any event that occurs on a system that is within its scope, not just those that it is notified of as a requirement. Some events on the main line railways that result in death or serious injury will not be investigated by RAIB (and in some cases they do not have to be notified to RAIB). There are two main reasons why this may happen. In many cases, from the information available at the time, it appears that the person concerned has deliberately trespassed or otherwise put themselves in harm’s way. If RAIB is satisfied, after making enquiries, that although an accidental sequence of events has resulted in tragic consequences, there are no safety lessons to be learned, RAIB will not investigate further. RAIB priorities For 2020, RAIB’s priorities are: • Continued delivery of high-quality investigations and the dissemination of timely and effective safety learning. • Working with other railway accident investigators in the UK to share good practice and to help improve the quality of investigations throughout the industry. • The active exploration of new ways of working with the other transport accident investigation branches to promote improvements to its effectiveness, efficiency and resilience, whilst also safeguarding RAIB’s functional independence in the selection and conduct of investigations. • To review and revise RAIB’s documented working arrangements with British

London TravelWatch London TravelWatch is the official watchdog organisation representing the interests of transport users in and around the nation’s capital

ondon TravelWatch was set up by Parliament to be the official voice of London’s travelling public. Funded by the London Assembly and accountable to it via the Assembly’s Transport Committee, the watchdog represents users of the national rail network in London and the surrounding commuter belt and international rail passengers using Eurostar. It also represents all those who use buses, the Underground, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), dial-a-ride, trams, taxis, cable cars and river transport, as well as cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians and other users of London’s principal road network. The watchdog aims to secure a better journey experience for everyone travelling in and around London: commuters, leisure travellers, visitors and tourists however they travel. Its multimodal remit reflects the way most people use transport in London – making active choices between modes and interchanging from one mode to another in the course of a typical journey. London TravelWatch carries out a variety of activities, including: • Commissioning and carrying out research, evaluating and interpreting the research carried out by others, to ensure that its work is based on the best possible evidence • Investigating complaints that people have been unable to resolve with service providers • Reviewing over 7,000 enquiries from transport users in 2018/19, taking up over 2,600 cases with the operator because the original response

Tyne, Gateshead, South Tyneside, North Tyneside and Sunderland. When the Metro opened to the public in August 1980 it was Britain’s first light rapid transit system and was the first railway in the country to be truly wheelchair compatible. The system was progressively opened in phases through to 1984 when the full 34 miles of the original network became operational with the opening of the line into South Shields. In its first year of full operation there were more than sixty million passenger journeys. The local rail network was privatised in 1996, however, Tyne and Wear PTE, Nexus as it is now called, kept responsibility for the operation of the Metro. The Metro was extended to Sunderland in April 2002.

functions which it previously delivered within the Tyne and Wear area. NEXUS is the trading name of the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive. NEXUS is an independent organisation. It was created in 1969 by the Tyneside Passenger Transport (Designation) Order 1961 in accordance with the Transport Act 1968 and is responsible for overseeing work and ensuring good governance. The vast majority of these responsibilities have been delegated to a committee of NECA – the Transport North East (Tyne and Wear) Sub-Committee. Some responsibilities, such as the setting of transport levies and the approval of the regional transport strategy are discharged by the Authority’s principal decision-making body – the NECA Leadership Board. The NECA has prepared and submitted a bid on behalf of the seven local authorities which aims to obtain in excess of £100 million in funding which will be invested in major improvements to sustainable transport in the area. The aim of this bid is to help close the area’s productivity gap through better connectivity and more mobility, enabling growth, reducing congestion and improving air quality and public health at the same time.

he North East Combined Authority’s ambition, as set out in its Transport Manifesto is to provide affordable, attractive, reliable, safe, healthy transport choices for businesses, residents and visitors while enhancing the environment. Working with partners, the NECA provides leadership and a united voice on key strategic transport issues, links strategic transport planning with economic priorities, provides strong representation on transport issues of national significance including rail, air travel, strategic road network and ports as well as providing more effective coordination to enable improvement to the area’s public transport network. Previously overseen by the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (ITA), in 2014 the responsibilities and assets of the ITA were transferred to the NECA.

Network Rail Network Rail runs, maintains and develops Great Britain’s tracks, signalling, bridges, tunnels, level crossings, viaducts and 20 key stations

etwork Rail is a public sector arm’s length body, giving it commercial and operational freedom. Its main customers are the TOCs and FOCs which provide services on Network Rail’s infrastructure. In 2014, Network Rail began devolving day-today responsibility for railway businesses to eight strategic geographical areas. In late 2018, new Chief Executive Andrew Haines announced plans to deepen devolution, with 14 routes sitting under five new regions – Scotland’s Railway, Wales and Western, North West and Central, Southern and Eastern. These new regions became operational in June 2019. A new Network Services directorate was created to incorporate Network Rail’s Freight & National Passenger Operators department as well as elements of Group Digital Railway and certain national services, such as national performance and operations.

Performance On 1st April 2019, the rail industry introduced a new, more detailed and precise set of measures to better understand train performance. The additional ‘on time’ measures reflect that good performance needs to be delivered throughout the whole journey and that every minute matters for passengers. The official measure of punctuality used up until then, known as public performance measure (PPM), considers trains to be punctual if they are five or ten minutes after schedule, for short and long-distance journeys respectively, at their destination, but the new measures report cancellations and the proportion of trains arriving to the minute at every station on the timetable. Network Rail also measures its safety performance using a model produced by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB). It measures safety from the perspective of passengers at stations and all aspects of interaction between the general public and the railway.

GUIDE TO NETWORK RAIL’S ROUTES AND REGIONS

Wales and Western With a 5,000-strong workforce and 2,700 miles of railway, these routes exist to serve communities and businesses of Wales, the Thames Valley, West of England and the South West Peninsula. Wales and Western transports commuters to key employment hubs including London, Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool, directly serving London Heathrow, Europe’s busiest international airport and providing connections to Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, and London Gatwick airports. Wales and Western supports leisure and tourism in all of these areas and supports critical freight services, notably aggregates, moving millions of tonnes of freight every year.

14 new routes, led by route directors, now take responsibility for operations, maintenance and minor renewals, including the day-to-day delivery of train performance and the relationship with their local train operating companies. Five regions will support one or more of these new routes under the leadership of region managing directors. This structure enables Network Rail to build the right capabilities in the right places, empowering its people to improve train performance, and putting passengers and freight users first.

Crossrail Established in 2001, Crossrail Limited was set up to build the new £15 billion railway that will open as the Elizabeth line

n the 19th Century the Regents Canal Company, began plans for a new surface railway across London. They lobbied for permission to build a railway that would link Paddington with London’s docks, running alongside or even replacing the Regents Canal itself. Parliament granted permission for the scheme in the 1880s, but it ultimately came to nothing. However, 50 years later, the Abercrombie Plan argued that better links were needed between the east and west of the UK’s capital city, and proposed building two new Tube lines. Although much of the Abercrombie Plan came to pass the new Tube lines did not, the idea, however, was not forgotten and transport needs continued to develop and soon the need for a new line that provided better cross-Capital links began to seem more pressing. In the 1974 London Rail Study, that line finally got a name – ‘Crossrail’. The genesis of the idea was a northern tunnel that would join British Rail’s Western Region lines west of Paddington to the Eastern Region lines east of Bethnal Green. The study recommended feasibility studies be undertaken as a priority, in 1980 a British Rail discussion paper, proposed an intercity link across London featuring three route options. Rather than focusing on the east and west, the scheme suggested linking the existing infrastructure north and south of London, possibly via a deep bore tunnel. Although the route was very different from that which had been proposed in 1974, the overall objective was not massively dissimilar. The 1980 discussion paper ultimately led to nothing, Underground congestion that both it and the 1974 study had highlighted continued to develop and by the late 1980s, the existing Tube and rail capacity was approaching its limits. The Government therefore commissioned and published the Central London Rail Study in 1989 – a report which took many of the schemes highlighted in the 1974 study and developed them into more concrete

framework: East-West Crossrail, a line from Wimbledon to Hackney via Chelsea and Thameslink. In addition to all this, the Jubilee line extension was proposed in the East London Rail Study published a few months later. In October 1990 the Government finally gave the go-ahead to British Rail and London Transport to develop the east-west Crossrail scheme. In November 1991, a private bill was submitted to Parliament but the recession in the early 1990s, combined with constraints on public finances, proved key factors that lead to Parliament rejecting the Bill. Despite the decision not to proceed, the October 1990 announcement safeguarded

(legally protected from conflicting development) Crossrail’s route, and in 1994 it was announced that the Crossrail project would be pushed forward under the Transport and Works Act (TWA) system, but in April 1996 the Secretary of State for Transport, Sir George Young, asked London Transport and British Rail to temporarily suspend their TWA application. Crossrail, he stated, could only come about after the Jubilee Line Extension, Thameslink and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link had been dealt with. In July 2000 the Government once again asserted that an east-west rail link should go ahead. The Mayor of London’s Transport Strategy also prioritised the relief of

Crossrail Limited Established in 2001, Crossrail Limited was set up to build the new railway that will open as the Elizabeth line. Jointly sponsored by TfL and the Department for Transport, once the railway is complete it will be handed over to TfL and run as part of London’s integrated transport network. In 2004 the Government, committed to introducing legislation to enable Crossrail to proceed, and worked closely with TfL and wider stakeholders to develop a funding and financing package. The Crossrail Hybrid Bill was presented to Parliament in February 2005 and The Crossrail Act 2008 finally gave Crossrail a confirmed route – Heathrow and Reading in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east, with new rail tunnels (and stations) under central London as required. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL) and is jointly sponsored by TfL and the Department for Transport (DfT).After years of planning and development, Crossrail finally broke ground on 15th May 2009 at Canary Wharf and tunnelling later began on the project. Crossrail tunnelling began in May 2012 with eight tunnel boring machines (TBM) called Phyllis, Ada, Elizabeth, Victoria, Jessica, Ellie, Sophia and Mary. Tunnelling ended at Farringdon three years later in May 2015 with the arrival of tunnel boring machine Victoria. The operational railway was renamed the Elizabeth line in February 2016 in honour of Britain’s longest serving monarch.

Getlink Getlink was officially born on 20th November 2017 when Groupe Eurotunnel underwent a corporate rebrand

ach year, Eurotunnel safely transports more than 20 million passengers, 1.6 million trucks, 2.6 million cars, two billion tonne-kilometres of freight and, eventually, one gigawatt of electricity. Rebrand Talking about the rebrand, Chairman and CEO of Getlink, Jacques Gounon, said: ‘With revenues of over €1 billion, an operating margin of fifty per cent and predictable cash flows up to 2086, Getlink has demonstrated the effectiveness and resilience of its economic model. It is on this same basis that we will continue to generate growth by offering our customers high value adding solutions’. Summer records Summer 2017 saw Eurotunnel set new traffic records for Le Shuttle Passenger service. With almost 564,000 vehicles carried over the period from 17th July to 3rd September, traffic grew by two per cent compared to the same period in 2016, which was itself a record year. Beyond the traffic records, recent investments in the premium service, like the opening of the new Flexiplus lounge in France on 15th July are also bearing fruit with bookings for this category up by six per cent. In addition, Le Shuttle has seen Frequent Traveller bookings increase by twelve per cent. Jo Willacy, Eurotunnel Commercial Director, said: ‘Our customer numbers continue to grow alongside their loyalty to our service. I can only thank them on behalf of all our staff for the confidence they have shown in us. The Le Shuttle frequency of departure and the speed of service are key factors in booking decisions.’

Innovation In June 2017 the first stone of the future freight train scanner, the first of its kind in France, was laid at a ceremony held at CalaisFrethun freight yard. The £5.7 million freight train scanner, paid for entirely by Getlink, will be sited on the national railway network following an agreement reached with SNCF Réseau. Operated by customs officers from the Douane, the only authority certified to use such material in France, the scanner will bring savings of several hours to the process of controls on trains heading for the UK via the Channel Tunnel. The installation of this equipment will enable the control of up to 30 trains per day at a speed of twelve miles per hour, without stopping. In addition, the new scanner will considerably improve the efficiency of action to prevent smuggling. Patrick Jeantet, Chairman and CEO of SNCF Réseau, stated: ‘Our specialist teams will work closely together to install this scanner. SNCF Réseau has made space available and will modify equipment to accommodate this innovative solution which will considerably improve cross Channel traffic flow.’ Traffic growth On 28th April 2017 Eurotunnel inaugurated the first of three new, third generation freight shuttles. With the boom in the digital economy and the concentration of cross-Channel traffic onto the shortest routes, particularly in light of environmental concerns, the market for Eurotunnel’s Le

Shuttle Freight is set to continue its growth over the coming years. In response to this demand and to reach its objective of transporting two million trucks in 2020, Eurotunnel has invested £36 million to acquire three new, 800-metre-long freight shuttles, each made up of 32 carrier wagons, three loaders and a club car for the truck drivers. Made to order by WBN Waggonbau Niesky GmbH for Eurotunnel, and benefitting from the latest developments in technology to ensure energy efficiency, strength and reliability, these three new shuttles will strengthen the existing fleet and bring an additional twenty per cent capacity, enabling Eurotunnel to offer up to eight departures per hour.

High Speed 1 High Speed 1 (HS1) is the UK’s first section of high-speed rail and operates along a 68-mile-long railway between St Pancras International in London and the Channel Tunnel

perating as both a domestic and international service, the line carries passengers from St Pancras International in London to the Channel Tunnel and connects with the international high-speed routes between London and Paris, London and Brussels and London

and Amsterdam. HS1 Ltd has the 30-year concession to own and operate HS1, as well as the stations along the route: St Pancras International, Stratford International, Ebbsfleet International and Ashford International. In July 2017, HS1 Ltd was acquired by a consortium comprising of funds advised and managed by InfraRed Capital Partners Limited and Equitix

Investment Management Limited.The cost of construction was £6.2 billion. HS1’s domestic service, Southeastern High Speed, was introduced in 2009 and transports passengers from St Pancras International to Kent. Journey times to Ebbsfleet International are only 17 minutes, with Ashford International just 37 minutes from St Pancras. In 2018, approximately 15.7 million journeys were made on Southeastern High Speed. Socio-economic benefits of High Speed 1 In 2017, HS1 Ltd published a report entitled ’10 Businesses at 10 Years’. The report presents real life examples of how HS1 has helped ten of the most exciting businesses in Kent to grow and prosper. An accompanying survey of leading Kent businesses showed that: • 91 per cent of those asked said that their business has benefitted from HS1

Page 54 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

Infrastructure

• 89 per cent said that HS1 has made Kent a more attractive place to set up a business • Over one third said that HS1 was a factor when choosing to set up their business in Kent • Over 80 per cent said that HS1 had helped their business grow • One hundred per cent said that HS1 will play an important role in the future growth of Kent. Dyan Crowther, CEO of HS1 Limited, said: ‘As the nation’s first and only highspeed railway, HS1 has been a catalyst for

growth, generating economic, cultural and social value in the regions it serves and the UK more widely.’ Passengers using HS1 have doubled since launch, with services carrying over twenty million domestic and international passengers each year and with an unrivalled average delay per train of just eight seconds. A report independently produced by Visit Kent and tourism economists Destination Research revealed that for every HS1 leisure journey made to Kent in 2016, £81 was added to Kent’s local economy. Almost 6,000 tourism sector jobs in Kent have been created and supported by HS1 with the total economic contribution to Kent’s visitor economy, since domestic HS1 services began, estimated at over £311 million. The findings demonstrate further the remarkable growth of Kent’s visitor economy, the value of which has increased by £1 billion since 2003. Kent’s visitor economy is now worth in excess of £3.8 billion and it is expected that the line will provide at least £10 billion of further regenerative benefits over the next 50 years. Growth Approximately 50 million people visit St Pancras International every year, for both the station’s retail offering and its rail

services to Europe and Kent. Passenger numbers on the high-speed line are set to rise to 127 per cent by 2044. The total number of trains on HS1 is at 73,402 (201819). This is mostly attributed to the increase in timetabled international services which are up 386 compared to 2017-18. In 2018, HS1 Ltd announced that it would be working closely with other infrastructure managers to help develop new routes, including a direct passenger service to Bordeaux.

High Speed Two High Speed Two (HS2) is the company responsible for developing and promoting the UK’s new high-speed rail network. It is funded by grant-in-aid from the Government

S2 will link eight of the UK’s major cities and serve millions of people. Travelling between the cities of the Midlands and the North will become much

easier. HS2 will free up extra capacity for local passenger and freight services on the existing network. So, as well as efficiently carrying millions of people, the new railway will benefit those who never use it. Economic value HS2 will begin rebalancing the UK economy long before the trains start running. It’s already beginning to boost economic development in the Midlands and the North,

and to ease pressure on London by creating opportunities elsewhere. HS2 will create around 25,000 jobs and fuel economic benefits worth over £103 billion to the UK. Stations On 13th December 2017 it was reported that some of the UK’s biggest contractors had formed joint ventures to bid for the opportunity to deliver London’s two planned HS2 stations. The combined deal would be worth a total of £3 billion. One station, Old Oak Common in west London, will be brand new and is believed to cost £1.3 billion to build. The other, Euston station, will be redeveloped at a cost of

£1.7 billion. Both projects are targeted for completion by 2026. The first major structure to be built at Euston received the green light on 9th August 2019, with the London Borough of Camden approving the design for the high speed rail project’s eye-catching ‘sugar cube’ which will house technical equipment and a vent shaft for London Underground. At Euston, the arrival of HS2 will more than double capacity, improving journeys for the 44 million people who use the station every year, as well as releasing space for extra commuter services into the capital. As a result commuters from places like Milton Keynes could see a 76 per cent increase in the number of seats into Euston during peak hours. Route HS2 will connect London to Edinburgh and Glasgow, running from Euston through the new station at Old Oak Common and then onto Birmingham. From there it will split off and run to the East Midlands Hub in one direction and to Manchester Piccadilly via Crewe in the other direction. That first stretch to Birmingham is Phase One which is expected to be completed by 2026. The second is Phase Two. It will be delivered in two phases: Phase 2a extends from the West Midlands to Crewe and is due to open in 2027. Phase 2b continues the line to Manchester and also joins the existing railway just south of Wigan. Meanwhile Phase 2b’s eastern leg runs from Leeds via HS2’s East Midlands Hub to Birmingham. Phase 2b services will begin in 2033. The remainder of the journey north will use the East Coast Mainline to connect the East Midlands Hub to Newcastle. Cluster effect Part of the goal of HS2 is to create different clusters in areas of the UK outside of London. One example of this is in the digital sector. The digital sector is a significant source of growth and employment in the UK, employing over 1.6 million people and with turnover that grew by over twenty per cent between 2011 and 2015. The North of England is home to digital clusters that employed over a quarter of a million people in 2014. Manchester is the largest digital cluster outside of London by number of employees. Leeds has expertise in health technology, Big Data and FinTech7. Newcastle is home to thousands of software, electronic gaming and creative businesses. The Sheffield City Region is home to over five thousand technology companies. Liverpool has strengths in the areas of

East West Rail New connections will make the Oxford - Cambridge Arc more commutable, opening up new job opportunities, supporting local business and helping the economy to grow

ast West Rail is a proposed new rail link under development which would connect communities between Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Cambridge, creating new opportunities for people right across the area. It’s an ambitious project that proposes bringing back into use a section of railway that was closed to passengers in the 1960s, refurbishing existing railway lines between Bletchley and Bedford, and building brand new railway infrastructure between Bedford and Cambridge. Oxford to Bicester: open • Completed in 2016, this section combined upgrading the track between Oxford and Bicester Village with major improvements to local stations. • Chiltern Railways began running services from Oxford through to London via Bicester in 2017. Oxford to Bedford: in planning • This complex section involves reinstating

parts of the old track, upgrading stations, building a new station at Winslow and a large number of overbridges, footbridges and changes to crossings. • East West Railway Company and Network Rail are leading a team known as the East West Rail Alliance, who will design and deliver this section. • An application for the planning permission required, known as a Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO) was submitted in July 2018. • The Secretary of State for Transport approved Network Rail’s TWAO application on 4th February 2020 allowing main construction work to start. Bedford to Cambridge • Having identified five promising route options between Bedford and Cambridge, East West Railway Company held an initial non-statutory consultation in early 2019, creating a strong foundation for our design work. • Following this consultation, we have now

selected the Preferred Route Option, and we are concentrating on choosing the best alignment for this section. East West Railway Company The East West Railway Company was set up in 2017 to develop a railway with customers and communities at its core. The company is passionate about building a railway that best serves people living and working between Oxford, Cambridge, Bedford and Milton Keynes, as well as providing the best value for the taxpayer. They have a mission to do things differently, to innovate and challenge the status quo in the rail and construction industries. Their distinctive outlook and passion for doing the right thing for their customers and local communities runs through everything they do and every decision they make. The company’s role is to oversee the work already underway on East West Rail between Oxford, Bedford and Milton Keynes, to develop the case for the section between Bedford and Cambridge, and to integrate the two sections of the project to get the best results for all the communities between Oxford and Cambridge. East West Railway company works with four key stakeholders: • The Department for Transport. • Network Rail. • East West Rail Alliance. • East West Rail Consortium.

Midland Metro Alliance The West Midlands Combined Authority, the design consortium of Egis, Tony Gee and Pell Frischmann, and contractor Colas Rail (supported by their suballiance partners Colas Limited, Barhale, Bouygues UK and Auctus Management Group) came together to form the Midland Metro Alliance in July 2016 working on behalf of Transport for West Midlands

ach of the partner companies brings a complementary area of expertise to the alliance. The real focus, however, is on leaving a legacy of skills and experience for the region, even after the extensions are complete. The Midland Metro Alliance is working with Transport for West Midlands on a number of projects for the West Midlands Metro network, each in differing stages of development, design or delivery. Wolverhampton City Centre Metro extension As part of the £150 million Wolverhampton Interchange, the Wolverhampton City Centre Metro extension will branch off from the existing route just before the current terminus at Wolverhampton St. George’s. This branch of the Metro will stop at the city’s bus station on Pipers Row, before continuing to the railway station which itself is being rebuilt, allowing easy interchange between rail, bus and tram along with other

modes of transport. Work on the Metro extension began in spring 2018 and two-thirds of the construction recently wrapped in November 2019. The final element of construction will begin after the opening of the city’s new railway station with passenger services due to begin shortly after. Birmingham Westside Metro extension Construction for the first phase of the Birmingham Westside Metro extension, which sees trams extended to Birmingham’s recently redeveloped Centenary Square, gathered pace in recent months ahead of the December 2019 opening of passenger services. This phase of work follows the expansion of the West Midlands Metro network from St. Chads to Grand Central in Birmingham City Centre, which opened for passenger service in 2016, and saw passenger numbers increase by more than three million in a year.

This section if the network is the first in the UK to run without the need for overhead wires with West Midlands Metro Urbos 3 vehicles fitted with battery technology from supplier, CAF. The second phase of this route, from Centenary Square to a terminus just west of Five Ways at 54 Hagley Road, commenced construction in early 2019 with the strengthening of Broad Street Canal tunnel and the successful closure of a busy city centre underpass in the summer. Following on from Centenary Square, West Midlands Metro services will call at new stops in Brindleyplace, serving the city’s vibrant entertainment district, as well as Five Ways and Edgbaston Village for the business quarter. The second phase of the Westside extension is planned to be open in 2021,

ahead of Birmingham’s hosting of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, where public transport improvements, including the Metro extension programme, will play an important part in delivering a successful event. Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension The eleven-kilometre Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension forms part of Transport for West Midlands’ ambitious plan to regenerate public transport in the region. Due to open in 2023, the line will extend the already successful Metro service further into the heart of the Black Country, providing convenient interchange with local bus and rail services. Through 2020, those living, working or visiting the Sandwell and Dudley area will see work on the much-

Birmingham Eastside Metro extension Plans to further extend the tram network to the east of Birmingham are well advanced, with a decision from central government on the Transport and Works Act Order expected imminently. Once approved, the route will separate from the existing line at Bull Street in order to serve Digbeth and the terminus at Curzon Street, helping to attract further commercial and residential development in the area. Construction would take place in a phased manner allowing passenger services to commence in 2026 in line with the opening of the HS2 station at Curzon Street. East Birmingham to Solihull Metro extension The East Birmingham to Solihull Metro extension will see the current network expand further eastwards along a new 17.5 kilometre route and will forge a direct link between Central Birmingham and key locations including Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham Business Park, Birmingham International Station, the National Exbhition Centre and Birmingham International Airport.

Abellio UK Abellio is one of the UK’s largest transport groups, operating five rail franchises, as well as 740 buses on 52 London bus routes

ver 16,000 people are employed across its operating companies, which collectively serve over a million passengers in England and Scotland every day. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Dutch rail operator Nederlandse Spoorwegen, Abellio was founded in 2002 to take advantage of the liberalisation of the European transport sector, and it now has operations in the UK and Germany. Abellio first entered the UK transport market in 2003, and has since established itself as one of the UK’s foremost rail owning groups, accounting for nearly one in five of all UK rail customers – the largest it has been in its operating history.

Chiltern Railways Chiltern Railways provide scheduled passenger services along the M40 corridor between London Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street, to Aylesbury via Amersham. Following an investment of £250 million, Chiltern Railways opened the first mainline railway between two major UK cities in over one hundred years when it linked Oxford and London Marylebone. As of August 2019, Chiltern has been named by passengers as the best operator between the Midlands and London and between Oxford and London and enjoys passenger satisfaction levels of ninety per cent. Grand Central Grand Central is an established long-distance

Go-Ahead Group The Go-Ahead Group is one of the UK’s leading public transport providers with over one billion journeys made on its bus and rail services each year

ince foundation in the 1980s, Go-Ahead has transformed from a small bus operator in northeast England to a FTSE 250 company. It employs 28,000 people in the UK and overseas, who work hard to deliver safe, reliable and value-for-money services for passengers. Go-Ahead has a devolved approach to the management of its bus and train operating companies. They are run autonomously, are locally-branded, and the management teams are empowered to respond directly to the needs of the local communities they serve. Working in this way ensures Go-Ahead retains strong local expertise and can focus on the needs of customers and adapt quickly to changing conditions in local markets. It is the largest operator of bus services in London, running around a quarter of London’s buses and outside of London, its regional bus services account for around eleven per cent of the UK market. Go-Ahead also runs bus services in Singapore and began running services in Ireland in 2018. Govia Go-Ahead’s UK rail operation (Govia) is a joint venture between Go-Ahead (65 per cent) and Keolis (35 per cent). In the years since the privatisation of rail operations, Go-Ahead’s rail division has

delivered profitability, strong cash flow and good returns on capital; and continues to do so. Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) began operating in September 2014 with Great Northern and Thameslink routes. Southern and Gatwick Express routes were integrated in July 2015. It is the largest and busiest single rail franchise in the UK: in terms of passenger numbers (around 25 per cent of all train passenger journeys), trains, revenue and staff (6,500 people employed). The franchise encompasses King’s Lynn in the north and Brighton in the south, serving London as well as several important regional centres including Cambridge, Luton, Peterborough, Portsmouth and Southampton. It also provides direct links to major airports (Gatwick and Luton) as well as St Pancras International. Southeastern The Southeastern franchise was won in 2006 and in its first year the franchise achieved the largest ever improvement in customer satisfaction of any UK rail operator. The original franchise expired in 2014 and extensions have now taken it up to April 2020. Southeastern operates services throughout Kent, parts of East Sussex and southeast London. Since December 2009 Southeastern has also operated the UK’s first high-speed domestic service on HS1.

The contract is set to create 600 new jobs, with 30 new apprenticeships created each year to

support delivery. The project also incorporates the development of the South Wales Metro, a new transport system that will transform mobility across the Cardiff Capital Region by providing faster, more frequent and integrated services across trains, buses and light rail.

SERCO Serco has global expertise in the design, setting up, operation, and maintenance of heavy rail, metro and light rail operations across the globe

rom the turnkey operation of the Dubai Tram which is the first fully wireless system in the world and the Dubai Metro, one of the highest performing metro systems in the world, to redefining a luxury experience on the Scottish Caledonian Sleeper. Caledonian Sleeper Serco began operating Caledonian Sleeper in April 2015 after it was selected by Transport Scotland to manage the new 15-year franchise back in May 2014. Total revenue to Serco over the franchise period is estimated at up to £800 million, of which approximately £180 million will be in the form of franchise payments. In 2019, Caledonian Sleeper’s service was transformed when it debuted 75 new carriages across its Highlander and Lowlander routes – delivering on a commitment made when the contract was won. The fleet, built at a cost of £150 million, has been part funded by capital grants from Scottish Ministers and from the UK Government.

Commenting on the launch, Ryan Flaherty, Serco’s Managing Director for Caledonian Sleeper, said: ‘Our new trains have been years in the making and to see them make their debut is a huge moment for everyone involved in making this dream a reality. The overriding ambition has been to deliver on our vision of a Caledonian Sleeper service fit for today’s traveller, one that combines the modern facilities people expect with that feeling of nostalgia that comes from long-distance railway travel. We want guests to have a magical journey with us, whether they are travelling for business or for pleasure.’ Dubai Metro Serco first began operating and maintaining the initial ten stations on the Red Line from the official opening of the Dubai Metro in 2009. Expansion of the Metro has seen the Red Line grow to 29 stations, while the Green Line, opened in 2011, added an additional 20 stations. The Red Line expansion for Expo 2020 adds 15 kilometres and connects seven stations. At that point, the Dubai Metro will have a total network

length of 90 kilometres and over 120 trains running at peak times. Serco’s more than 2,000 employees on the Dubai Metro continue to deliver excellent operational performance and record numbers of passenger journeys. In March 2019 Serco signed a two-year contract extension with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to continue operating and maintaining the Dubai Metro until September 2021. The contract extension includes the operation and maintenance of the Red Line expansion which is currently under construction; the test-run of the expanded service is expected to start in February 2020 in readiness for full operation ahead of Expo 2020 which begins in October. The total value of the fixed base fee for the contract extension is around AED680 million (£140 million).

Alliance Rail Holdings Arriva’s Alliance Rail business explores opportunities for open access passenger rail services to add to Arriva’s portfolio

lliance Rail has applied to the Office of Rail and Road (ORR)to operate three routes. In June 2018 Alliance Rail’s subsidiary Great North Western Railway (GNWR) secured access rights to operate a service of up to six return trips a day between London and Blackpool starting in 2019. Access rights for daily journeys to and from the Fylde coast to Nuneaton and Milton Keynes were approved by the Office of Rail and Road. The decision allows for five

return services per day from the Blackpool, Poulton-le-Fylde, Kirkham and Wesham to London with opportunity for a sixth return service. The route will be serviced by former Virgin Trains East Coast InterCity 225 trains. Other proposals Alliance Rail previously submitted a proposal for access rights to the East Coast Mainline under the Great North Eastern Railway (GNER) brand. In 2016 this proposal was rejected by the ORR who awarded it to FirstGroup and Virgin Trains East Coast. Alliance Rail submitted a proposal to the ORR to operate up to 18 trains per day between Southampton Central and London Waterloo on the South West Main Line under the Grand Southern brand. That proposal was rejected in August 2018.

Passenger operators Holding company First Trenitalia West Coast Rail Ltd

Avanti West Coast On 8th December 2019, Avanti West Coast officially took over the operation of long-distance train services on the West Coast Main Line

vanti West Coast is one part of the West Coast Partnership, a joint venture between FirstGroup and Trenitalia. Trenitalia is Italy’s primary rail operator and Avanti is Italian for ‘Forward!’. The Avanti West Coast logo, created by design agency forpeople, is a bright orange triangle, symbolising the geographic extent of the 400-mile long route that serves cities like Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow as well as London and North Wales. Under the new West Coast Partnership, First Trenitalia is committed to delivering a range of passenger enhancements for InterCity West Coast services and passengers will benefit from more trains, more seats, simplified fares and more frequent services. The 56 Pendolino trains will be completely refurbished with 25,000 brand new seats, more reliable Wi-Fi and improved catering. By 2022, there will be 263 more train services every week to more places and a fleet of new trains introduced. Fares and ticket types will be simplified with mobile tickets and smartcards introduced. Stations will be improved with refreshed waiting rooms, better customer facilities, more car park spaces, and greater accessibility for those who need it. The other part of the Partnership is West Coast Partnership Development which will pave the way for a new era in high speed rail in the UK in the coming years, working with HS2 Ltd and the Department for Transport. New fleet First Trenitalia awarded a contract worth more than £350 million to Hitachi Rail to provide and maintain 23 new intercity trains (135 carriages), to be built at its County Durham factory. Bringing additional

capacity to services along the West Coast Main Line and in North Wales, these new, state of the art intercity trains will start operating in 2022. The trains will be a mix of ten seven-carriage electric trains and 13 five-carriage bi-mode trains, with the ability to switch seamlessly between electric and diesel power. The bi-mode trains will run for most of the journey using electric power only, switching to diesel power for those parts of the network that are not electrified – for example, the North Wales Coast Line to/from Holyhead. These are fast-accelerating 125mph trains which draw from their Japanese bullet train heritage. As a result of their modern design, passengers will enjoy a quieter journey compared to the diesel-only trains they will replace. The new trains will have better and more reliable free Wi-Fi, at-seat wireless inductive charging for electronic devices, plug sockets and USB slots; a brand-new catering offer and a real-time passenger information system that can advise customers of connecting rail services. There are 453 seats on a 7-car service and 301 seats on a 5-car service increasing compacity compared to the Class 221 Voyager trains they replace (which have 258 seats). The seven-carriage version of the electric trains will have similar numbers of seats to a nine-carriage Pendolino, owing to the longer 26 metre carriages of the Hitachi trains. North Wales Avanti West Coast will make significant improvements to rail services in North Wales including: a new fleet of quieter, more accessible and greener bi-mode trains in 2022 on the strategic Holyhead to London Euston

Blackpool Tramway Home to mainland Britain’s first electric tramway, the Blackpool Tramway is the last surviving first-generation tramway in the UK

he oldest part of the tramway, along Blackpool Promenade, was opened on 29th September, 1885, originally using conduit collection. The electric supply was converted to overhead power four years later. Over 130 years later and 2017 was a redletter year for the Tramway as September saw the eightieth anniversary of the Brush Car tram and in October a collection of illuminated heritage trams paraded along the promenade for the first time in the tramway’s history. Modernisation Over five million passengers rode the Tramway in 2016 and in 2012 it underwent renewal efforts which saw modern light rail trams operating along the eleven miles of coastline. The £100 million redevelopment was completed in April 2012 and involved the relaying of track and the building of a new depot. Other upgrades included a brandnew fleet of Bombardier trams that have reduced journey times by up to 15 minutes. Bombardier’s trams have level boarding and step-free interiors as well as designated disabled/pushchair areas. The vehicles are 32 metres long, split into five sections and can accommodate up to 222 passengers. Heritage Heritage Blackpool is unique to the UK as it has the freedom to operate unmodified vintage trams throughout the year under its heritage brand, Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours. The Heritage Tram Tours have gone from strength-to-strength since 2014 and is a fine example of modern day voluntary working, with up to ninety per cent of its workforce being volunteers. There are twelve different types of car that have been used on the tramway over its 133-year lifespan, with some travelling around the world, like the iconic Boat car which was used in the USA during the 1970s. New upgrades The improvements previously made to the tramway received such a positive response from the public that at the end of 2018 Blackpool Transport alongside Blackpool Council began further upgrades. The existing tramway service operates between Starr Gate and Fleetwood Ferry from approximately 05.30am until 11.30pm, with

a peak service every ten minutes. The tramway extension will leave the existing route at North Pier, via a two-way double track junction. The route will cross the Promenade highway and enter Talbot Square, which is being remodelled to provide segregation of trams and highway traffic. The existing pedestrian signals on the Promenade will be replaced by a signalled intersection. A new eastbound tram stop is to be located in Talbot Square, to allow interchanges with the existing North Pier tram stops. Beyond Talbot Square, a double track alignment continues eastwards in the centre of the highway. It is anticipated that the proposed tramway extension will be completed by 2022.

Caledonian Sleeper Since Serco took over the Caledonian Sleeper franchise in 2015, the overnight service between London and Scotland has gone from strength to strength

aledonian Sleeper runs on two routes – the Lowlander and the Highlander. The Lowlander route connects Scotland’s two biggest cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, with the capital of the UK while the Highlander connects London with Aberdeen, Fort William and Inverness. Services run in both directions six nights a week, with the trains calling at dozens of other stations along the way.

Upgrades and investment In 2019, the service took a giant leap forward with the introduction of its new trains – 75 carriages debuting across the Lowland and Highland routes. The fleet, built at a cost of £150 million, has been part funded by capital grants from Scottish Ministers and from the UK government. Designed to accommodate the modernday traveller, the new trains offer accommodation ranging from completely new comfort seats for the budget traveller to

rooms with double beds and en-suites – for the first time in the history of Caledonian Sleeper. Accommodation includes: • completely new redesigned comfort seats with personal locker, reading light and charging point • Classic Rooms (solo or shared use with an option of interconnecting rooms, toiletries included) • Club Rooms (solo or shared use with en-suite, station lounge access, breakfast, luxury toiletries included) • Caledonian Double (double bed with en-suite, station lounge access, breakfast, luxury toiletries included) • Accessible Rooms (double or twin, toiletries included and directly adjacent to accessible toilet). Other new features are included on the new trains, such as a hotel-style keycard entry system, charging panels and Wi-Fi throughout the train. Commenting on the launch, Ryan Flaherty, Serco’s Managing Director for Caledonian Sleeper, said: ‘Our new trains have been years in the making and to see them make their debut is a huge moment for everyone involved in making

Page 82 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

this dream a reality. The overriding ambition has been to deliver on our vision of a Caledonian Sleeper service fit for today’s traveller, one that combines the modern facilities people expect with that feeling of nostalgia that comes from long-distance railway travel. We want guests to have a magical journey with us, whether they are travelling for business or for pleasure.’ Global appeal In 2015, the sleeper train service was named as one of Lonely Planet’s Super Sleeper Journeys and in 2014 it was named one of the best six railway adventures in the world by Travel magazine. Both singled out the Highland route to Fort William, known as The Deerstalker, as ‘one of the world’s most unforgettable train adventures’ and that it ‘isn’t a train ride, it’s an escape’. More recently, in 2019 Caledonian Sleeper was ranked in Lonely Planet’s Ultimate United Kingdom Travelist which ranks the 500 greatest experiences across Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands. Accessibility Caledonian Sleeper has worked to ensure the best possible experience for guests with access needs. With a new range of accessible accommodation, the service is committed to ensuring accessible guests have the space they need to travel comfortably and safely between London and Scotland.

Chiltern Railways Chiltern Railways began the franchise in 1996 following privatisation. The TOC is owned by Deutsche Bahn and is part of Arriva

t the end of 2017 passenger and freight train companies, Network Rail and their suppliers, launched a ‘single plan’ for Britain’s railway. Dave Penney, Managing Director of Chiltern Railways, said at the time: ‘Over the next 18 months alone, our investment plans will mean more trains, running more punctually, with value-formoney tickets that are easier to buy and use, and better information at people’s fingertips when things do go wrong.’ Late night trains A new Winter/Spring timetable came into effect on Sunday, 10th December 2017. Chiltern Railways put on more services and provided more seats over the festive period between Oxford, Bicester and London from December. Website and app Chiltern Railway’s new website has introduced several new features including a cheapest fare indicator and the ability to book season tickets, business upgrades and passengers assistance on a mobile. A new app was launched at the start of 2018.

their journey, removing the need to purchase a ticket. The trial will involve around fifty passengers between five stations: Oxford Parkway, Islip, Bicester Village, Bicester North and London Marylebone. Chiltern is also working on providing passengers with continuous Wi-Fi through a partnership with EE, the biggest, fastest and most reliable network in the UK. Arriva will use a planned, innovative project with EE as a test bed for possible rollout across other franchises including the new Northern Rail franchise. The partnership will involve EE adding extra network capacity and coverage through a wireless trackside network, making ‘no Wi-Fi bars’ onboard a thing of the past – even through tunnels.

Rolling stock Chiltern Railways also determined that additional DMU vehicles would be needed to account for the planned network growth. In 2015, it took nine Class 170 units on lease following the expiry of the contract between First TransPennine Express and the trains’ owners, Porterbrook. These units were cascaded to Chiltern on a phased approach and were converted into a Class 168 unit configuration to ensure full compatibility and integration with the other Chiltern DMU units. All nine units are now in passenger service bringing additional capacity to the fleet.

Partnership promoting safety Working together to protect young children from harm on Britain’s railway and other transport modes, CrossCountry and the UK Scout Association have developed their Personal Safety Scouting badge into one of their most popular, with over 34,000 now awarded. The partnership’s achievement in promoting safe and responsible behaviour amongst Britain’s youth has also been recognised in several awards by rail industry and external organisations, including the International CSR Excellence and Peer Awards, against strong competition from some of the largest UK and European brands and businesses. Supporting the regions it serves CrossCountry continues its commitment to delivering actions that benefit the customers and communities that its services serve. A partnership with the Newcastle College Rail Academy is successfully supporting and aligning with their work in educating the students, by promoting the many diverse and widespread careers across the rail sector. CrossCountry has donated over £50,000 worth of IT equipment to the

CrossCountry also supports many Community Rail Partners along its network, working with each on a variety of activities to strengthen their work bridging the gaps between rail and the communities it serves. This has included award winning

collaborative projects such as ‘Dwell Time’ focused on raising awareness of mental wellbeing, featuring art, poetry and writing along the Penistone rail line as well as nationally and even internationally.

uilt and operated by the London Tilbury & Southend Railway in the 1850s, the current c2c rail service has operated under a number of different names and ownership during its 160-year lifespan. The line was once known as the Seaside line until spending a few unfortunate years nicknamed the ‘Misery Line’ in the 1990s after privatisation, with fifty years of

northern Thames Gateway area of southern Essex including Grays, Leigh-on-Sea and Southend-on-Sea. The main route from Fenchurch Street to Shoeburyness is 63 kilometres with a fastest journey time of 58 minutes. As c2c is mainly a London commuter railway and the typical journey is between 40 and 80 minutes, it does not offer First Class seating. Its Class 357s have standard high-density ‘3 + 2’ seating to meet high demand at peak times, however 17 trains were converted into a metro style with ‘two and two’ seating and grab handles. London Underground’s District line connects with c2c indirectly at Tower Hill (for Fenchurch Street) and directly at West Ham, Barking and Upminster. Tickets are fully interchangeable between the two operators. There are also interchanges at Limehouse and West Ham with Docklands Light Railway and at Barking and Upminster with London Overground.

Record breaking c2c holds both UK records for the punctuality of its train service: for annual punctuality, at 97.5 per cent; and for punctuality over a four-week period, at 98.8 per cent (set in August 2010). c2c has also led the rail industry in being the first company to introduce customer friendly new products such as Automatic Delay Repay for customers whose journeys are delayed, FlexiSeason tickets for part-time workers, and Personal Punctuality Reports which allow customers to track exactly how punctual the trains that they were on have been. During 2016 the number of c2c passenger journeys rose by eight per cent, boosted especially by the opening of the DLR station at West Ham in 2011 and the rise of Canary Wharf as a financial centre. In January 2020 research by independent passenger watchdog Transport Focus today concluded 87 per cent of c2c passengers were satisfied with the punctuality of c2c’s service.

paying for car parking. Developed with IBM, this is the first app made by a UK rail company to include nationwide door-to-door public transport journey planning, enabling users to plan a route for any journey anywhere in the UK. Other developments include the new c2c Smart card which allows c2c season ticket holders to switch from paper tickets to an Oyster-style tap-and-go smartcard ticket they can use anywhere on the c2c route. Upgrades Late in 2016 c2c added 24 new carriages to its fleet and on 9th January 2017 it changed the timetable again (in cooperation with local passenger groups) to further increase capacity on the route. Nine new four-car trains were introduced in 2019, followed by four more by 2022 and four more by 2024. c2c’s fleet is maintained at East Ham Depot, although there is also a depot at Shoeburyness. On 1st April 2017, c2c introduced free onboard Wi-Fi and an entertainment service called Vista, partnering with Now TV to provide free television shows available to stream for c2c passengers.

Essex Wildlife Trust In September 2019 c2c met with the Essex Wildlife Trust’s Living Landscape Coordinator, John More, to discuss how the disused land around the railway can be used to promote the local wildlife in the area. c2c’s biodiversity site at Shoeburyness station was created by c2c’s Environment and Safety Team. Working with Railscape (using recycled track clearance waste) Mark Manser, Health, Safety and Environment Manager at c2c has created a beautiful and meandering lined and woodchip path throughout the 2,200-metre sq plot. In developing the plot, the new path has also opened up access to an abundance of fruit trees and blackberry bushes. The local Shoebury scout group have adopted the plot and and visit occasionally to practice woodcraft skills, ‘and probably (along with other members of the local community) to enjoy some scrumping’ Mark reports. Shoeburyness station, was opened on 1st February 1884 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway and it was built primarily to serve the military establishment whose

presence at Shoebury started in 1849 with a School of Gunnary followed by Barracks being built in 1863. The current station is pretty much as it was built with three platforms and wooden building, which is the original.

In 2012, as part of a £90 million investment, East Midlands Trains completed the refurbishment of its entire fleet, beginning with class 158s in 2008 before moving onto HSTs, Meridians, class 153s and class 156s. The complete fleet upgrade included improved toilet facilities, new seating and carpets, extra luggage space, new lighting, air conditioning and CCTV. The franchise has been extended multiple times, with the 2016 agreement now ending in August 2019.

Awards season In 2018, East Midlands Trains’ staff received three gold awards, one silver award and two bronze awards and employees were rewarded in the categories of safety, environment, community and customer service , with the team that responded to the fire at Nottingham Station among those recognised. Midland Main Line upgrade Network Rail reached a significant milestone in work to upgrade the line between London and Corby as overhead line masts for electrification were installed in November 2017. The improvements being delivered will enable fast, comfortable and green services, with more seats. The work is part of the biggest upgrade of the Midland Main Line since it was completed in 1870, which will see improvements up and down the route and an investment of over £1 billion. Electrification from Bedford to Kettering and Corby is due for completion in December 2019, with an extra track between Bedford and Kettering. It is planned to introduce an extra long-distance hourly train, likely to be a Corby service. The Midland Main Line Upgrade also includes installing new track south of Kettering; re-signalling, track and

Passenger operators

platform construction and line speed improvements in Derby; capacity and line speed improvements between Bedford and Market Harborough; and longer platforms and a more accessible station at Market Harborough. From 2020, passengers will benefit from smoother journeys, more seats and a modern and reliable railway. Those living near the railway will also benefit from reduced noise and emisisons with the introduction of a modern fleet of trains. During the summer of 2018, East Midlands Trains, in partnership with Network Rail and CrossCountry delivered a £200 million Derby Resignalling project. Derby Resignalling was a £200 million investment to upgrade the railway in and around Derby station. Although preparatory work started at the end of 2017, the main impact for passengers was the 79 day possession between 22nd July and 7th October. It was extremely complex, with six separate phases and varying impacts on passenger journeys. Derby Resignalling was the biggest investment into the railway in Derby for decades and an important opportunity for the industry to show it can deliver major planned investments.

Rolling stock East Midlands Trains operates a fleet of 27 Class 222 Meridian DEMU’s, which run on services from Sheffield to London St Pancras via Derby and Nottingham, and have been maintained under a technical services agreement by Bombardier since 2007. Excluding its Class 222 fleet, all of the TOC’s trains – Class 43 HST, Class 153 Super Sprinter, Class 156 Super Sprinter, Class 158 Express Sprinter – are diesel-powered. It inherited Midland Mainline’s InterCity 125 and Meridian diesel-electric trains, along with some of the Sprinter diesel units (classes 153/156/158), which were formerly operated by Central Trains. Staff and passengers East Midlands Trains employs more than two thousand people working in various customer facing and support roles. In 2017 the TOC launched a 24/7 Customer Contact Centre which links through to every station on the network via a specially installed help-point. The TOC is one of the biggest employers in the region and has topped various lists of the best employers from across the UK. A separate independent passenger survey stated that 89 per cent of people were satisfied with their East Midlands Trains service, a ten per cent improvement since the

start of the franchise. The company remains Britain’s most punctual long-distance train operator and improvements promised in the Direct Award agreement have been introduced, including a £13 million package of improvements for passengers.

Edinburgh Trams Edinburgh Trams began operating in May 2014, achieving profitability in 2016 which was a full two years ahead of schedule

uring its first year of service the network carried nearly five million passengers – more than 360,000 ahead of its prelaunch target. This had grown to almost 5.5 million by its second year which contributed to the TOC making a profit so soon. Edinburgh Trams’ 8.7 mile network has 16 stops that stretch from Edinburgh Airport in the west to York Place in the east. Ticketing Regular users of trams and buses in the city can use the Ridacard, which gives the best value travel whenever it’s used. Fully contactless, one-week, four-week and annual

tickets can be stored on the card, with the latter two offering savings on the weekly rate. Passengers are also able to use their smartphones for travel by using Edinburgh Trams’ free app. It provides users with live information on the quickest way to reach their destination and enables m-tickets to be downloaded and activated as needed. A new feature was added to the app in November 2015 that for the first time allowed users to ‘share’ tickets, so tickets can be sent through the smartphone’s native sharing technology such as Bluetooth, AirDrop, e-mail, social media or text. Edinburgh Trams, and its sister company Lothian Buses, also partnered with Google

Maps from the beginning of 2016 to provide real-time travel information. Awards Edinburgh Trams picked up an award for ‘Excellence in Travel Information & Marketing’ at the prestigious Scottish Transport Awards. The operator of the city’s tramway was awarded the top accolade for its commitment to driving its patronage at Edinburgh Airport and enhancing the customer experience. Edinburgh Trams demonstrated how a successful digital and offline marketing campaign had helped increase patronage at the capital’s airport by almost 60 per cent in only three years. Furthermore, the popularity of the tramway was supported by partnerships with major airlines and travel comparison websites. Five year anniversary Five years in and residents have embraced Edinburgh’s new transport kid with a steady growth in users totalling 27.7 million customer journeys since 2015. Year-on-year they have reported increasing patronage, with a total growth of 40 per cent between 2015 and 2018. In 2018, carrying 7.3 million people to work, college, on much-needed holidays or just to enjoy all the capital has to offer. Keeping up with demand, Edinburgh Trams strove to improve the existing timetable and soon increased services by 23 per cent offering more trams and more seats, and reducing the travel time between Edinburgh Airport and the City Centre to less than 30 minutes. As a result, there has been significant growth in those choosing Edinburgh Trams to travel to and from

airport, with these journeys increasing by 56 per cent between 2015 and 2018. The look of the trams have changed in the last five years and it’s not unexpected to see a clown’s face or an octopus holding Christmas presents gliding along Princes Street. In 2017 the City of Edinburgh Council transferred the advertising rights to Transport for Edinburgh and Edinburgh Trams, and the first commercial agreement took place with CR Smith who had 18 trams

within the fleet branded with various scenes from across Scotland. 2018 saw Edinburgh Trams advertising at full occupancy thanks to new partnerships with Diageo, Parabola, Aberdeen Standard Investments, Qatar Airlines and others as well as small-tomedium local businesses and complimentary advertising for local charities.

Elizabeth Line The Elizabeth Line will stretch more than 60 miles from Reading and Heathrow in the west through central tunnels across London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east

enamed and rebranded as the Elizabeth line in 2016, the first new Class 345 trains entered passenger service in June 2017 between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. But that was only phase one. The trains will be rolled out over five phases, phase two saw TfL running trains from Heathrow and Hayes & Harlington to Paddington in May 2018. From December 2019, TfL Rail will run trains between Paddington and Reading. All of these services will run in anticipation of the opening of the Elizabeth line through central London as soon as practically possible in 2021 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is phase three. When the central section opens trains will run from Paddington to Abbey Wood before full through services, including journeys to Heathrow Terminal 5 launching as soon as possible after this. When it reaches full service, the Elizabeth line will be over 60 miles long, linking Reading in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. More stations Ten new stations are being built to complement the 31 existing stations that have been redeveloped to allow for the increased traffic the new line will bring. New stations have been built at Paddington, Tottenham Court Road, Whitechapel and Canary Wharf amongst others. The line is split between above ground and underground tracks, with 13 miles of twinbore tunnels having been dug under London. The existing Network Rail stations in outer London,

Berkshire and Essex will have been upgraded and connected to the newly built tracks. In total, there are fifteen existing London Underground, London Overground and DLR stations that will be serviced by the Elizabeth line. Accessibility Lifts will also have been installed at every Elizabeth line station to ensure step-free access from the street all the way to the platform. The enhancements to the older stations have included improving accessibility at the ticket office windows and wider entrances to ticket halls. Better trains The new trains are 200 metres long and can carry up to 1,500 people. The trains will use up to 30 per cent less energy by tapping into the electricity produced whilst braking and then pumping that back into the power supply, just like a Formula One car. The trains have three double doors per side which open onto a clear area which allows for easier access to the metro-style and bay seating within. Other features include multiple wheelchair dedicated areas and mixeduse seating that can be flipped up to accommodate wheelchairs. Manufactured by Bombardier Transportation, the Elizabeth line will operate seventy of the EMUs (electric multiple units) and carry half a million people across London every single day.

Shorter journeys The Elizabeth line will be fully integrated into the existing London transport network, reducing travel times across the board. Londoners will see their commuting times tumble as Canary Warf to Liverpool Street, a trip which used to take 21 minutes, will take just six minutes. Other journeys like Paddington from Tottenham Court Road will take just four minutes, compared to twenty minutes currently. British companies won 96 per cent of the contracts for the project. The Elizabeth line, which was originally called Crossrail, is managed by TfL. Crossrail Limited is constructing the new railway and the project is jointly sponsored by the Department for Transport and TfL.

The three initiatives laid out in the plan are: • Introduction of an hourly service frequency between the two cities • Infrastructure enhancements to improve journey times and connections • Electrification through investment in infrastructure and rolling stock. The long-term goal of electrification set out in the plan recommends replacing the existing rolling stock with electrically powered units by 2035. A new fleet of nine train sets would be required to permit an hourly service.

Eurostar Eurostar celebrated 25 years of carrying passengers across the Channel Tunnel in 2019

018 saw an increase in passengers on the Eurostar, especially during the summer months. The TOC reported a seven per cent rise in full year passenger numbers to eleven million over the same period in 2017. Sales revenues increased by twelve per cent versus 2017, with strong growth in business and US travellers. Leisure traffic last year was boosted by the success of Eurostar’s new service between London and Amsterdam. The high-speed rail link between London and the Netherlands, which marked its first anniversary in April 2019, saw over a quarter of a million passengers travelling since launch in April 2018. To meet consumer demand, Eurostar put tickets on sale for a third daily service starting in June 2019 and committed to introducing additional services as soon as the governments have put border controls in place for the Amsterdam-London leg of the journey. Community and environment From the early days of operation, Eurostar has championed the environmental benefits of high-speed rail and encouraged the switch to sustainable modes of transport for short haul international travel, with a Eurostar journey emitting 80 per cent less carbon than the equivalent short-haul flight. The 17 new e320 trains carry 20 per cent more passengers, which is twice as many as a jumbo jet, and they are 17 per cent more efficient per seat than its original fleet. Eurostar is committed to giving young people opportunities and offers work experience and mentoring programmes aimed at providing a combination of advice, support and first-hand experience to help them gain skills. For those looking to

start a career, there is a long established engineering apprenticeship programme, and a new customer service apprenticeship programme across its stations, its contact centre and onboard. Eurostar supports the communities in which it operates and has forged partnerships with organisations ranging from honey clubs, which produce honey for some of the deserts on board its trains, to local schools and Kent Walk to School, a scheme that takes more than 250,000 car journeys off Kent’s roads. Third-star from the Sustainable Restaurant Association In recognition of its commitment to serving sustainable, responsibly sourced food on board, Eurostar has been awarded the highest rating of three stars from the Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA), having held a two-star rating since 2012. The SRA three-star accreditation demands a very high standard of sustainability with ingredients that are seasonal, Fairtrade or organic, not air-freighted and sourced from farmers with high environmental and welfare standards. Rolling stock On 14th November 2019, Eurostar celebrated 25 years of service, during which time it has revolutionised cross-Channel travel. Since it began operating in 1994, the journey time from London to Paris has been slashed from three hours to two hours and 15 minutes and passenger numbers have grown from just under three million in the first full year of service to eleven million in 2018. Plastic-free service As a mark of its commitment to eco-

responsible travel, on 14th November 2019 Eurostar ran its first ever plasticfree train between London and Paris. This service, from which single-use plastics have been eliminated, was a demonstration of Eurostar’s environmental ambitions for its onboard experience. The train featured new wooden cutlery, recyclable cans of water, glass wine bottles, alternative paper-based coffee cups and environmentally friendly packaging for food served to customers.

The final £10 million was secured in February 2015, giving the green light to the project that will include doubling the size of the concourse to reduce congestion; putting in a new roof; and installing more escalators and lifts to make it easier to reach all platforms. The new station will increase the number of rail passengers using the station every year by around five million to around twenty million before 2025. On top of the new station, new Britishmade trains were brought in at a cost of £145 million, allowing more First Class seats and more tables in Express Class as well as onboard Wi-Fi and dedicated luggage racks in every carriage.

Passenger operators

Glasgow Subway The Glasgow Subway carries 13 million passengers each year, and is currently undergoing its biggest modernisation programme in more than 30 years

he 15 stations of the Subway are distributed over a six mile circuit of the West End and City Centre of Glasgow, with eight stations to the North of the River Clyde and seven to the South. There are two lines: an outer circle running clockwise and an inner circle running anticlockwise. Upgrades The full-scale upgrade will ensure that the highest quality of service is delivered to the 40,000 passengers who use the Subway every day. The Glasgow Subway is 120-yearsold and is the third oldest underground system in the world behind London and Budapest. A £288 million funding package for the work is being supported by the Scottish Government and rebuilding work is happening right across the network. Modernisation In 2011/12, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) secured funding from the Scottish Government to fully upgrade and modernise the Subway. This included the refurbishment of all 15 stations, a strand of work which will be completed in Spring 2020. In 2013, SPT also introduced a new Smartcard ticketing system as part of the modernisation programme which has revolutionised ticketing options across all forms of transport in the region with train and bus operators all developing smart ticketing options. With more than 230,000 Subway Smartcards now in operation, SPT

continues to work with transport operators and Transport Scotland to develop more integrated ticketing opportunities across the region. In 2016, SPT announced a significant step forward in the modernisation programme with the award of contract for the new rolling stock, signalling and equipment to the Stadler Bussnang AG / Ansaldo STS (now Hitachi) Consortium. The contract worth £200 million will include the 17 new Subway trains which are of the same length and size as existing rolling stock but made up of four-car sets as opposed to the current three-car sets. They also feature open gangways to maximise the space available. The first of the new trains was on show at InnoTrans 2018, the international Trade Fair for transport technology in Berlin, by leading manufacturer Stadler. The first of the three new trains have now been delivered to Glasgow with dynamic testing due to begin offsite in 2020. As well as the new trains, the Subway’s signalling equipment, control systems and control centre will all be replaced bringing improved availability and reliability to passengers. The system will include new platform screen doors, which will be ‘half height’ to preserve as much space and openness within the stations as possible while still maintaining passenger safety and security. Once the new full system is in place – trains, signalling, operational control centre, platform screen doors – and has been fully tested, the Subway will move from its current partially automatic trains to Unattended Train Operations (UTO).

Transport Focus survey The 2018 Transport Focus survey reported overall passenger satisfaction reached 97 per cent, whilst 95 per cent of surveyed passengers said that they were satisfied with the Subway’s level of punctuality. 80 per cent said that they were satisfied with the value for money the service provides.

Modernisation In May 2018 passengers saw a transformation in services, much of it delivered through the £7 billion Thameslink Programme, which introduced brand new, reliable timetables, extended routes, additional services and new trains. The programme is being sponsored by the Government and will add capacity into London for 35,000-40,000 more passengers in each three-hour peak across the whole GTR network. Alongside the new trains, there will be new links to Gatwick Airport, Eurostar at St Pancras and an interchange at Farringdon for Elizabeth line Crossrail services across central London from December 2019. Other benefits include the return of cross-London Thameslink services at London Bridge – up to twelve trains per hour at peak times, including Bedford to Brighton services.

Passenger operators Holding company Arriva UK Trains

Grand Central Grand Central Rail is an independent open-access operator and a subsidiary of Arriva UK Trains, part of the Arriva Group, which is owned by Deutsche Bahn

he company has operated passenger rail services on the East Coast Main Line from Sunderland to London King’s Cross since December 2007; and from Bradford Interchange to London King’s Cross since May 2010. In August 2014, Grand Central was granted an extension of its operating rights until December 2026. Routes Grand Central connects Yorkshire and the North East to London with two routes. Five daily services on the North East to

London route run between Sunderland and London King’s Cross calling at Hartlepool, Eaglescliffe, Northallerton, Thirsk and York. This route is known as the North Eastern service. Four daily services which run on the Yorkshire to London route operate between Bradford Interchange and London King’s Cross calling at Halifax, Brighouse, Mirfield, Wakefield Kirkgate and Doncaster. Some services also call at Pontefract Monkhill. This is known as the West Riding or West Yorkshire service. In May 2018 Grand Central commenced operating services on the West Coast Main Line from London Euston to Blackpool after the Office of Rail and Road granted fellow Arriva subsidiary Alliance Rail Holdings access rights for ten years. E-ticketing Grand Central Rail introduced e-ticketing towards the end of 2017, allowing customers to buy tickets online and display them on their mobile or tablet device. Instead of queuing at stations or waiting for tickets to be delivered, customers can now pay for their fare online. Available on desktop and mobile devices, tickets stay available until ten minutes before departure and after purchasing customers receive an email with a downloadable PDF that features a barcode scanned by crew and ticket gates. Richard McClean, managing director of Grand Central Rail, said: ‘We are always Page 102 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

striving to improve our customer experience and we listen to our passengers. Not only is [e-ticketing] environmentally friendly, but it offers our passengers a fast and efficient way of storing their ticket.’ New fleet The six Class 43 (HST) trains that Grand Central operates were withdrawn at the end of 2017. The TOC had leased five more Class 180 units cascaded from Angel Trains to replace its HST trains and increase its overall fleet size.

A full fleet of 25 trains is currently being phased into service on Great Northern suburban services from Welwyn Garden City, Hertford and Stevenage to and from Moorgate in the City of London. The Class 717s will replace the existing Great Northern fleet of Class 313 trains, built in the late 1970s. The 25 six-car trains, financed by Rock Rail Moorgate, (a joint venture between Rock Rail Holdings and Aberdeen Standard Investments), represent the first fleet of trains to be introduced into the UK using a new model for financing rolling stock. For the first time financing has been provided through direct long-term investment from pension and insurance companies. Great Northern gave passengers a sneak preview of the new £240 million airconditioned train fleet on 28th September. New services An extra 200 services will be introduced each weekday on Thameslink and Great Northern from Monday 10th December. There will be an additional 32 peak and 170 off-peak services operating. Additional peak services will operate across the network from Cambridge, Peterborough, Brighton, St Albans, Horsham, Rainham, Luton, Orpington, East Grinstead, Bedford and on the Wimbledon loop.

This is the process where all the new equipment and facilities are being tested and commissioned. As such this is very complex, involving a wide range of stakeholders. The station will benefit from the introduction of the new Cross Country and GWR timetable, the latter covering all GWR services across Western England and South Wales, representing the greatest change on the GWR network for over 30 years. Some key peak services to and from London will take less than two hours, with a fastest time

of one hour 49 minutes, and passengers will be able to get to Cardiff in one hour 23 minutes, to Nottingham in one hour 49 minutes. Oxford upgrades In the Summer of 2017 work which enabled improvements in line speeds to ease congestion on the railway into and out of Oxford was completed.

Passenger operators Holding company Abellio/Mitsui

Greater Anglia Abellio first won the Greater Anglia franchise in 2012, it re-won the franchise in October 2016

n early 2017 40 per cent of Abellio was sold to Japanese company Mitsui. The 150-year-old company operates in a diverse array of sectors and is the first Japanese company to take a stake in a British TOC. At the time of the sale, which had been announced three months earlier in December, Abellio managing

director Dominic Booth said the ‘longstanding objective of running the franchise as a sixty-forty joint venture’ had been fulfilled by the sale. Operational history Greater Anglia began operating in 2012 under Abellio, the international arm of the state-owned railway of the Netherlands.

It operates commuter services between London Liverpool Street and destinations such as Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk, the Stansted Express, intercity services between Norwich and London, as well as many of the regional services across East Anglia. Investment and advancement With the inception of the new franchise in October 2016, Abellio announced it would invest £1.4 billion in fleet replacement which resulted in 33,000 new train seats at morning and evening peak travel times. Heavy investment has been made in the new trains with 665 carriages being built by Bombardier in Derby and 378 by Stadler in Switzerland, as well as advancement in the passenger experience. A mobile app was introduced which features live travel updates, service information and multiple ticket purchasing options. Other steps forward include seasonal smart card tickets and the Delay Repay scheme. New trains On 21st January 2020 Brand new longer Page 106 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

trains went into passenger service on Greater Anglia’s Sudbury-Marks Tey route. Made by Swiss manufacturer, Stadler, the new trains have more seats, USB and plug points, free fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, better passenger information screens and improved accessibility including a retractable step at every door which bridges the gap between the train and the platform, making it easier to get on and off with a wheelchair, buggy or heavy luggage. They are much greener than

Greater Anglia’s old diesel trains, with lower emissions, and modern brakes which release less brake dust into the environment. Also in January 2020, Greater Anglia started running the first of its new intercity trains on the Norwich-London route.

Heathrow Express Heathrow Express’ electric trains provide 18,000 passengers a day with a sustainable choice and the fastest route between the UK’s hub airport and London Paddington

ith 150 services running every day and a journey time of just 15 minutes between Paddington and Heathrow Terminals 2&3, Heathrow Express offers exceptional customer service and great value fares. Heathrow Express tickets start from just £5.50 each way every day of the week when booked in advance. An agreement with the Department for Transport announced in March 2018 confirmed the Heathrow Express service – a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heathrow Airport Holdings – will run until at least 2028. Under a management contract announced at the time, Great Western Railway now operates Heathrow Express trains while Heathrow Express remains a non-franchised, non-subsidised private Train Operating Company with responsibility for the track access agreement, marketing, ticketing, revenues and overall customer experience of the service. The agreement will also see GWR introduce a specially converted, dedicated fleet of class 387 trains to the Heathrow Express service in 2020 complete with WiFi, at seat power, additional luggage space and the option of Business First. In October 2019 Heathrow Express launched a new airline style pricing system with fares from £5.50 available every day of the week complimenting the existing kids

go free offer. The fares came as part of a new multi-lingual website and app which speeds up booking and makes information such as live train times easier to find. Les Freer, Heathrow Express Director, said: ‘Rolling out our £5.50 one-way fare across the week means thousands more customers can travel for less with Heathrow Express. ‘Speed and convenience is crucial to Heathrow Express customers who have rated us top in the National Rail Passenger Survey three times in a row and our new website and app delivers on these too. ‘Complete with five additional languages, quick booking and an industry first ticket indicator our new platforms reflect our dedication to offering an industry leading customer experience from booking to travelling.’ Behind the scenes developments to the website will make booking a Heathrow Express ticket quick and simple for third party partners such as Travel Management Companies, airlines and GDS systems through an upgraded API system which also enables integration of Heathrow Express tickets into the booking of airline and travel tickets. Speed is everything to Heathrow Express customers and in the twelve months to November 2019, Heathrow Express’s train performance (PPM) showed that 93.4 per cent of HEx’s trains arrived within five minutes of the scheduled arrival

time. In addition, in the Spring 2019 National Rail Passenger Survey, customers scored Heathrow Express 96 per cent for punctuality and reliability. In the same survey (June 2019), Heathrow Express topped the UK’s National Rail Passenger Survey for the third time running with 95 per cent Overall Satifaction. The results were announced as Heathrow Express turned 21 having carried more than 110 million customers and the fleet of trains travelling close to 30 million miles since launch in June 1998. Passengers can now use Oyster, mobile devices and contactless bank cards to tap in and out at barriers at Heathrow stations and London Paddington, which further assists travellers to enjoy a seamless experience travelling to and from Heathrow.

KeolisAmey Docklands The (Docklands Light Railway) DLR began operating in 1987, with eleven trains serving 15 stations and in its first year of operation it carried 6.7 million people

eolisAmey Docklands, a joint venture formed between Keolis and Amey, was awarded the franchise in July 2014 to operate and maintain the Docklands Light Railway in London until 2021. It took over operation of the franchise from Serco Docklands in December 2014. Since it opened the DLR route has been extended six times while DLR trains themselves have grown from two to three cars. Today the railway has 45 stations, 25 miles of track and 149 carriages and during 2017, it carried a record-breaking 123 million passengers. The network currently has a 99 per cent reliability record – ranking it as one of the best performing railways in the UK. The DLR service Every station has step-free access to platforms and trains and the network has multiple connections with the Tube, buses, National Rail, Overground, river and coach services. Transport for London (TfL) sets the specifications for train frequency and overall performance and is responsible for fares and revenue. It also plans and funds improvements and extensions to the network. The DLR also connects with London’s cable car, the Emirates Air Line, at Royal Victoria. The service runs from 05:30 to 00:30 from Monday to Saturday and a slightly truncated timetable on Sundays, running from 07:00 to 23:30. All stations have level access to the trains along with lift or ramp access to the platforms. Accessibility TfL have introduced new-style priority seating stickers throughout the trains, better highlighting to all customers where the priority seats are located (eight per vehicle). This is an increase on the previous number of priority seats. TfL have also installed new escalators at the main entrance to the westbound DLR platform at Limehouse station making it easier to get around. The new escalators will help to ease congestion at peak times, improve the accessibility of the station and reduce the time it takes to change between the westbound DLR and c2c platforms. Rolling stock replacement The rolling stock programme will replace two-thirds of the existing fleet and provide ten additional trains to provide more capacity and support population and

employment growth across the network. DLR customers will benefit from more frequent and reliable journeys from 2023. With over 400,000 journeys made each weekday, the DLR is currently the busiest light railway in the UK. It operates across six opportunity areas in London, which have the potential to provide more than 124,000 homes and 200,000 jobs. The additional capacity the trains will deliver is essential to support further growth, particularly in parts of the Royal Docks and the Isle of Dogs where the DLR is the main transport option. The programme will deliver: A new design of trains with walk through carriages, real time travel information, air conditioning and mobile device charging points. An expansion of DLR’s main depot at Beckton. This will include modification of the existing layout to accommodate the extra trains and extension of the existing maintenance facilities to allow maintenance of the new design of trains. Supporting workstreams including an update to the signalling system for the new trains, an additional power supply to the depot and additional stair capacity at Blackwall station. The programme will: • Support population and employment growth across the network, especially planned development in the Royal Docks, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the Isle of Dogs. • Provide crowding relief through increasing capacity. • Improve resilience and reliability by replacing trains nearing the end of their design life with modern, reliable trains. History The origins of the Docklands Light Railway can be traced back to 1982 when the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) was created to coordinate the redevelopment of the Docklands area. It was clear that a new transport system was needed. The railway opened in 1987 with eleven single-car trains and 15 stations. The original network comprised two routes – Tower Gateway to Island Gardens and Stratford to Island Gardens. Even before opening day, planning was underway for the first extension, to Bank, which opened in 1991. A further five extensions have since been completed, keeping pace with the growth of Docklands as an international

business and financial centre, and an increasingly popular place to live and visit. DLR was originally a wholly owned subsidiary of one of TfL’s precursors, London Regional Transport. In 1992 it transferred to the LDDC, sponsored by the Department of Environment. Olympic Games legacy The Docklands Light Railway was crucial to the success of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As well as the Olympic Park itself, the DLR also served competition venues in Greenwich and the Royal Docks, and some road events in central London. Significant enhancements were made to the network in preparation for the Games, including the Stratford International extension, the upgrade to support three-car train formation, a new signalling and control system, and improvements to key stations. During the Games DLR carried double its normal number of passengers, which helped the network reach one hundred million passenger journeys in the year 2012/13. Extension plans At the start of 2020 a public consultation was underway looking at plans to extend the Docklands Light Railway to Abbey Wood. The potential extension would run from Gallions Reach to Thamesmead, via the Thamesmead Waterfront site. Other proposals other proposals for stations along the line have included: • Thames Wharf, between Canning Town and West Silvertown. • Woolwich Reach, between King George V and Woolwich Arsenal. • Connaught between Prince Regent and Royal Albert. • Silvertown, between Pontoon Dock and London City Airport. • Tower Hill, on the Bank branch.

LNER took over the InterCity East Coast franchise in June 2018, after the previous privately owned operator Virgin Trains East Coast returned it to the Government following sustained financial difficulties. The DfT intend for the company to provide services until a new public-private partnership can be established in 2020. In November 2017, the Secretary of State for Transport, Chris Grayling, announced the early termination of the InterCity East Coast franchise in 2020, three years ahead of schedule, following losses on the route by operator Virgin Trains East Coast (VTEC), who had been due to pay more than £2 billion in franchise premiums to the Government over the last four years of its contract. This was brought forward in February 2018 to mid-2018. The Department for Transport (DfT) decided to either negotiate a deal with VTEC to continue to run the franchise on a temporary non-profit basis while a new franchise competition was conducted, or to arrange for VTEC be taken

Trams 2030 Passenger numbers are expected to grow to nearly 60 million by 2030, Trams 2030 summarises TfL’s proposed 15-year plan to accommodate growing demand, improve reliability and support the regeneration of Croydon town centre. Trams 2030 sets out TfL’s ongoing works (including the Wimbledon line enhancement programme), the current proposals including major upgrades and expansions to the network, such as Dingwall Road Loop, and the longer term plan for trams in south London.

Integration Passengers can use a contactless bank card, device or Oyster card to pay for their journey, needing only to touch the yellow reader on the tram platform before boarding. London Trams are cashless with paper tickets no longer available at tram stops.

Cashless trams You can’t buy a paper ticket at tram stops but there are still a number of different ways to pay for your journey: • Pay as you go with contactless (card or device) or an Oyster card for £1.50 for a single adult journey • Travelcard including Zones 3,4 5 or 6 • Bus & Tram Pass on an Oyster card • One Day Bus & Tram Pass • Paper Day Travelcard including Zones 3,4 5 or 6

Trams Since 2000, the number of passengers on the network has increased from 14 million to around 30 million today, and this is expected to reach nearly 60 million by 2030. An upgrade to the trams network is acknowledged to be needed to accommodate this growth. Trams for Growth summarises TfL’s proposed 20-year plan to accommodate growing demand, improve reliability and support the regeneration of Croydon town centre and the wider south London.

refurbished, with the bus-like destination blinds being replaced by an electronic dot system. In 2009 the fleet was repainted into a new green livery. In January 2011, Tramtrack Croydon opened a tender for the supply of ten new or second-hand trams from the end of summer 2011. The trams will be used between Therapia Lane and Elmers End. On 18th August 2011, TfL announced that Stadler Rail had won a £16 million contract to supply six Variobahn trams. They entered service in 2012. In August 2013, TfL ordered an additional four Variotrams for delivery in 2015, for use on the Wimbledon to Croydon link, an order which was later increased to six. This brought the total Variotram fleet up to ten in 2015 and twelve in 2016 when the final two trams were delivered.

Addiscombe tram stops. Contractor Morgan Sindall was appointed to do the work and main construction work now underway is expected to finish in spring 2020. Work includes weight being removed from the bridge to ensure the safety of the tramway under it and demolition and reconstruction of both the bridge over the tram line and the bridge over Addiscombe Railway Park.

ramtrack Croydon Limited (TCL) was awarded a 99-year concession to build and run a tram system in 1996. The Tram system opened in 2000. As well as on street running, it made use of a number of disused railway alignments. Part of the line between Wimbledon and Croydon actually follows the route of the Surrey Iron Railway which first opened in 1803 with horse drawn trains, some 22 years before the much more famous Stockton to Darlington Railway. In June 2008, TfL bought out TCL, and set about refurbishing trams, track, and tram stops, which had received little investment since the system opened. In June 2012, six new trams were introduced, enabling services in central Croydon to be increased from eight to twelve trams an hour, and allowing a new route from Therapia Lane to Elmers End. A total of 34 trams run in a circle round Croydon and then carry on west and east for 39 stops. In April 2016, services between Wimbledon and Croydon increased from eight to 12 trams per hour, following the completion of works to build an additional tram platform at Wimbledon station.

London Underground Ltd Over 150 years ago the first trains ran on the first underground railway the world had ever seen, today the London Underground is the fourth largest underground network in the world

ach year the London Underground carries over one billion people across the nation’s capital, the same number as the United Kingdom’s National Rail network. The network is just under 250 miles in total length, with just over one station for every mile track there are eleven lines serviced by 270 stations. Opened in 1863, the first journey was on what is today the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines from Paddington (Bishop’s Road) to Farringdon Street. For the first one hundred years the Underground, nicknamed the Tube, was funded by private companies, the current operator, London Underground, is a wholly own subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL). Trend setting In the 1860s only basic signage – the station name and exit – was provided, in 1892 the first rail map was shown at stations on the District Line with the first free map being distributed to the public in 1908. That same year the world-famous roundel, the red circle logo featured at every station and all the Underground signage, first appeared. The London Underground made several advancements throughout the 19th Century, many of them coming before any other city in the world had even built its own underground line. The first tunnel was opened in 1880 with the first deep level electric line coming ten years later in 1890. By 1884 there were over

800 trains running on the Inner Circle every day, less than ten years later the Government

had approved five more underground lines. Six different lines had been opened before the turn of the century. The Oyster card was first introduced in 2002, other cities, like Hong Kong in 1997 with the Octopus card had brought in their own automatic touch ticketing cards. Others came later such as the SmartLink card in New York 2007 and the Opal card in Sydney which was expanded to include the city’s light rail in 2014. Modern organisation In order to keep up with the pace of growth London experienced at the turn of the new millennium, multiple changes were made to the Underground’s organisational structure and operating procedures. The first change came with the creation of TfL in the summer of 2000. For four years the Underground was reorganised into a public-private partnership (PPP) where private infrastructure companies carried out upgrades and maintenance work on the system. This arrangement was short lived however

Page 116 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

Passenger operators

and in 2003 the London Underground became a subsidiary of TfL.Of the two private companies that had been working on the Underground as part of the PPP scheme, one went into administration in 2007 and TfL assumed control of the other in 2010. Passenger fares account for 92 per cent of the current operational expenditure. Global brand The Underground is a world-famous brand, with ridership records broken almost every day during the 2012 London Olympics. The Tube carried athletes and spectators across the city during the sporting event and one year later was ranked as the most improved brand according to London’s Buzz rankings. In May 2017 TfL struck its first global licensing deal, looking to capitalise off the

iconic London Underground imagery with products like designer chairs using tube seat patterns and creating new designs using Harry Beck’s schematic underground network map. The classic aesthetic has been used unofficially for years, with various products like t-shirts adorned with the famous phrase ‘mid the gap’ embossed over the roundel sign and other fashion items incorporating the famous visuals. Customer experience On a working day, three million trips are taken using an Oyster card. Contactles bank cards are integrated with the same technology and so also allow passengers to travel seamlessly across the network. TfL continues to improve and expand the Tube. A huge signalling upgrade is currently being undertaken on the District, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. The £5.4 billion project will increase capacity by forty per cent and make journeys quicker and more reliable. A new extension is also being built to the Northern line. Mark Wild, Managing Director of London

Underground, said ‘This work is part of our record investment in the Tube, which will see over forty per cent of the network radically improved with more frequent trains, quicker journeys and better reliability and the first major extension to the Tube network since the 1990s.’ KEY PERSONNEL Managing Director: Mark Wild Finance Director: Tanya Coff Director of Renewals & Enhancements: Caroline Sheridan Director of HR: Jean Cockerill Director of Network Operations: Nigel Holness Director of Asset Operations: Peter McNaught

The trains, built and maintained by Swiss-based manufacturer, Stadler, will replace the near 40-year-old fleet that currently runs on the network. The trains will be bought and owned by Merseytravel meaning that they are designed specifically to suit the network.

They will be safer – most notably in the ease in which everyone can get on and off, and will also make Merseyrail the most accessible traditional network in the country. They will be able to carry 50 per cent more passengers while retaining the same number of seats: will cut journey times and will have the capabilities to eventually run beyond the current Merseyrail boundaries to places like Skelmersdale, Wrexham and Warrington. The approval of the project, by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, marked the end of an extensive procurement process which formally began in October 2015 when the Merseytravel Committee gave permission for the project to go to tender after approving the business case for new trains.

rams currently run every twelve minutes, but the frequency will be increased to every six minutes in early 2019. Since its opening in 1992 the network has tripled in size thanks to a £1.5 billion expansion programme and in 2017 carried 40 million passengers. Owned by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), the sprawling tram network boasts 93 stops, and spans 60 miles across seven of the ten districts of Greater Manchester, with a fleet of 120 trams. Built in three phases over three decades, the network serves Bury, Oldham and Rochdale in the north, Ashton-under-Lyne in the east, Eccles and MediaCityUK in

the west, and Altrincham, Wythenshawe, Chorlton, Manchester Airport and East Didsbury in the south. Construction work on the transformational £165 million Second City Crossing (2CC) finished in late 2016 – the final phase of a £1.5 billion investment to expand the network. A section of the line opened between Victoria station and an award-winning new stop at Exchange Square in December 2015 thanks to fast-track funding from the European Regional Development Fund. Following three years of construction work, the final section of the Metrolink Second City Crossing, between Exchange Square and St Peter’s Square, was opened to passengers on 26th February 2017.

2CC allows Metrolink to run more services through the heart of the city on a new route running from St Peter’s Square along Cross Street to Victoria Station. It also gives Metrolink greater operational flexibility and improved service reliability. As part of the 2CC package TfGM has undertaken a programme of city centre stop expansions and improvement works. This culminated with an expanded newlook stop opening in St Peter’s Square in summer 2016, following a 14 month build programme which saw services run through the city on a single line of track.

ranslink is working to deliver two major transport hub projects, one for Belfast, the other for Derry~Londonderry, which will encourage more people to use public transport as their first choice for travel in Northern Ireland. Belfast Transport Hub The Belfast Transport Hub is a multimillion-pound transport-led regeneration project, being constructed on an eighthectare city centre site currently partially occupied by Great Victoria Street train station and the Europa Bus Centre. It will comprise a modern, high quality integrated transport hub to enhance local and international connectivity with rail, bus and coach links across Northern Ireland and beyond. Funded by the Department for Infrastructure, it will also have a key environmental role in helping to attract more people to public transport, reducing congestion and air pollution in the region. The new station will facilitate greater capacity with an increase to eight railway platforms, 26 bus stands, as well as cycle and taxi provision for enhanced connectivity, comfort and capacity encouraging greener, active travel for a healthier city. As an important NI Executive Flagship Project, Belfast Transport Hub is set to be a key driver of economic growth and prosperity for Belfast and Northern Ireland, essential to delivering the ambitions of the draft Programme for Government and the Belfast Agenda. North-West Transport Hub New enhanced passenger facilities and platforms are now available at the North-West Transport Hub, located at the former Waterside Train Station in Derry~Londonderry, with NI Railway ROUTE MAP

services operating to and from the facility. Representing an investment of £27 million, funding for this major project has been secured from the EU’s INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special European Union Programmes Body (SEUPB) with support from the Department for Infrastructure and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport in the Republic of Ireland, as well as Derry City and Strabane District Council. The Grade B-listed Waterside train station, originally constructed in 1873 to a design by John Lanyon, has been restored and repurposed for use as a 21st Century transport facility, acting as a gateway to the city and the wider North-West region, as well as promoting active and sustainable travel, bringing together a wide range of transport modes and providing enhanced customer and staff facilities.

Nottingham Express Transit Award-winning network goes from strength to strength

ollowing the opening of two new extensions in 2015, Nottingham’s popular tram network now stretches 20 miles across the city and wider conurbation. From Hucknall and Phoenix Park to the north of Nottingham to Clifton in the south and Toton in the west, the network has a total of 51 stops including key locations such as Old Market Square in the heart of the city, Nottingham railway station, the Queens Medical Centre and the prestigious NG2 business park. The award-winning system first opened in 2004 and is now operated and maintained by Nottingham Trams Ltd (Keolis) on behalf of concessionaire Tramlink Nottingham. In December 2011, the consortium was awarded a 23-year concession by Nottingham City Council to manage the delivery of the NET Phase Two expansion project and the ongoing operation of a network which has fast become a real success story.

‘Most Improved System’ at the Global Light Rail Awards in recognition of its success in boosting patronage and customer satisfaction. The operator also scored highly in a benchmarking report by the highly respected Institute of Customer Services. It recorded an impressive 83 out of 100, compared to an average of 71 for the transport sector in the ICS’ UK Customer Service Index – research results which support previous independent and internal survey findings.

Patronage Since the opening of the lines to Clifton and Toton the network has consistently seen substantial growth in patronage and, in the year to 31 March 2019, it recorded nearly 19 million customer journeys – an increase of 5.6 per cent on the previous twelve months. The tram’s popularity has been driven by a range of innovative marketing campaigns, community engagement activities and an increasingly dynamic approach to customer communications. These measures have been supported by improvements in operational performance, with general reliability levels standing at around 97 per cent, leading to customer satisfaction feedback which consistently ranks amongst the best in the country for public transport operators.

Rolling stock The network operates a 37-strong mixed fleet of Bombardier Incentro AT6/5 and Alstom Citadis 302 trams, all maintained within its Wilkinson Street depot headquarters. NET took delivery of 22 Citadis models in preparation for the expansion of the network while the Incentro trams have been in operation since 2004 and are currently undergoing a major refurbishment programme. In addition to adopting a fresh, new look they are also benefitting from a full mechanical overhaul, replacement floors and new interior fittings aimed at boosting reliability, comfort and accessibility. All of Nottingham’s trams have been named in recognition of historic characters, well-known literary figures, scientists, community leaders, actors and sports stars related to the city.

Awards In October 2019, the network was named

Community activity With close links to many community partners, the network provides support for a range of groups and organisations in the neighbourhoods it serves. In 2019, employees voted to ‘adopt’ Macmillan Cancer Support as their charity of the year and, with pound-for-pound match funding from the company, they are on target to raise £10,000 within twelve months for their ‘adopted’ charity.

ScotRail ScotRail is the national railway franchise of Scotland and has been operated by Abellio since April 2015

cotRail provides over 94 million passenger journeys each year, with over 2,300 intercity, regional and suburban rail services a day, more than 340 stations, and 1,016 trains serving Scotland’s railway. Record investment Figures published on 20th January 2020 revealed that record investment across Scotland’s Railway, including £475 million

on new and upgraded trains, is delivering a better service for customers. ScotRail completed its rollout of Class 385 trains into passenger service in December 2019, and the final addition to the 70 strong fleet of electric trains has brought the train operator’s total number of carriages across Scotland’s Railway to 1,016 – an increase of 28 per cent since the start of the Abellio

Page 124 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

franchise. Earlier in the year, ScotRail introduced the first eight-carriage Class 385 trains between Glasgow and Edinburgh. The roll-out of the state-of-the-art trains has been made possible by the Scottish Government funded electrification of the main line between Scotland’s two largest cities and the completion of platform extensions at Glasgow Queen Street station and Edinburgh Waverley delivered by Network Rail Scotland.

Passenger operators

This follows the retirement of ScotRail’s Class 314 trains, which operated on routes across Strathclyde since 1979. The stateof-the-art Hitachi built Class 385 trains operate on routes across Central Scotland, and the completion of platform extensions at Glasgow Queen Street station by Network Rail has enabled ScotRail to operate eightcarriage Class 385 Express trains between Glasgow and Edinburgh via Falkirk High. ScotRail is also in the process of introducing 26 refurbished high-speed Inter7City trains to connect Scotland’s seven cities. When the Inter7City rollout is complete, it will allow the train operator to make better use of its existing trains, with even more carriages deployed to Fife and the Borders. New station Robroyston station was officially opened on 16th December 2019, the same day ScotRail launched its brand-new timetable. ScotRail said the new station will unlock further economic development in the area, with a proposal for a new 1,600 strong housing development, and connect Robroyston and Millerston residents to

KEY PERSONNEL

Scotland’s two largest cities. As part of ScotRail’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions, the new station will offer a free park-and-ride facility to take cars off the road and ease congestion in Glasgow city centre. The station will be served exclusively by brand-new class 385 electric trains. The construction of the new station was made possible by joint-working and funding by ScotRail, Network Rail, Transport Scotland, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), Glasgow City Council, and Network Rail. The main contractor was AMCO.

and at-seat power; and a full refurbishment of passenger accommodation using quality materials. The refurbishment of the Desiro fleet is part of a £110 million programme to refurbish five fleets in all by the end of 2020, equating to over 900 carriages. The final refurbished Desiro train, a Class 450, joined the existing Desiro fleet and entered passenger service on 9th January 2020. The refurbishment was completed by the trains’ original manufacturer, Siemens. The investment was financed by Angel Trains and is part of SWR’s wider £1.2 billion plan to offer customers more capacity and frequent trains, quicker journey times and better connectivity, together with station improvements and a better, smarter ticket buying experience.

was also commended for hitting its zero waste to landfill eight months early (since July 2018, a hundred per cent of its waste is diverted from landfill – it is either recycled or used to generate energy).

outh Western Railway is owned 70/30 by FirstGroup and MTR. The company operates commuter services from London Waterloo to south west London and suburban and regional services in Surrey, Hampshire and Dorset, as well as regional services in Devon, Somerset, Berkshire and Wiltshire. Its subsidiary Island Line operates services on the Isle of Wight. Sustainability Throughout 2018 South Western Railway increased its recycling to 3,900 tonnes of waste a year and diverted all of its other waste to generate energy. The company also arranged for old uniforms to be reused or donated to charities and has plans to roll out water fountains across more stations. In November 2018 this work was rewarded with a gold award in the Environmental Excellence category at the Green Apple awards. South Western Railway

Investment On 14th 2018 November South Western Railway’s first fully refurbished and reconfigured Class 444 train entered passenger service, offering additional seating capacity and high-quality improvements to passenger accommodation. The refurbishment and reconfiguration of the train is part of SWR’s £50 million Desiro interior upgrade programme. The project is being delivered by the trains’ manufacturer, Siemens Mobility and is designed to increase much needed seating capacity in standard class and bring the interior accommodation up to date with some state-of-the-art features including enhanced Wi-Fi; inductive charging tables

Busy platforms Southeastern runs around two thousand metro, mainline and high-speed services each weekday from the southeast of England into London across 748 route miles, along twelve main lines. Its trains serve more London terminals than any other operator (London Victoria, London Charing Cross, London Blackfriars, London Cannon Street and St Pancras International) and some of its services also run through London Bridge – with one of the busiest train platforms in Europe.

Post-Brexit investment Southeastern put its name to a set of proposals calling for a £50 billion investment in the region’s railways, which would help to deliver 5,700 new carriages by 2021 and 6,400 additional services per week. The action was prompted after a poll of business leaders in October 2017 revealed that 57 per cent think rail will be key to attracting inward investment after the UK leaves the EU. The proposals, outlined in the In Partnership for Britain’s Prosperity plan, include commitments to: • Strengthen rail’s contribution to the economy

Rail companies would double the number of apprenticeships offered over five years to twenty thousand with a total benefit of a hundred thousand new job opportunities in the rail supply chain by 2020.

• Maintain customer satisfaction • Localise decision making and investment • Create more jobs and increase diversity.

outheastern is operated by Govia, a joint venture between leading transport operators Go-Ahead (65 per cent) and Keolis (35 per cent). It is one of the busiest networks in the country and runs the UK’s first domestic high-speed service with Javelin trains. On 7th August 2019, The Department for Transport (DfT) confirmed a further extension to the current Southeastern franchise which will now run to 1st April 2020 rather than expiring on 10th November 2019. It also notified industry that the competition for the next South Eastern franchise has been terminated. David Statham, Southeastern’s Managing Director, said: ‘We’re proud to have delivered more than £80 million of improvements for passengers since we began a new Direct Award contract in 2014. Punctuality has improved by nearly ten per cent in two years, we’ve introduced free Wi-Fi on our trains and boosted capacity on board with

Passenger operators

Only twenty per cent of Southeastern passengers are leisure travellers, meaning eighty per cent are commuters. The TOC has introduced more early morning services to London and more late night services out of London. Over 75 per cent (1,400) of its daily services go into and out of London and its services are heavily geared to meet a huge and growing demand for peak hour travel. More employees have been deployed on gatelines at key stations and more customer service staff are on hand to help passengers with information and provide advice when and where it’s needed. Southeastern has improved the number of ticketing options available to its passengers, providing them with more options and better value for money payment methods. This includes the extension of Oyster to Dartford and Swanley, and between St Pancras International and Stratford International. Southeastern has also been working to increase offpeak travel by bringing in Advance tickets and a Summer campaign was run to offer

passengers a twenty per cent online discount offer on off-peak tickets. Improvements The company has also committed to spend a further £4.8 million in station improvements, carry out a deep clean of all stations: install 63 more self-service ticket machines at stations and ticket gatelines at Folkestone Central and Canterbury East. One of the key factors of passenger satisfaction on the Southeastern network is information provision. This has been improved by the creation of a new and improved journey planning app called On Track and by installing customer information screens at 20 key stations across the network, the obligation was for only one or more. There are 21 operational information screens that sit within depots and rest rooms, providing employees with the most up-to-date information. An even bigger improvement has been delivered through the provision of tablets for train crew and gateline staff which

provide them with up-to-date information and put them in a better position to provide correct information to passengers during times of disruption. As well as this its inhouse Twitter team answers service enquires 24/7. The TOC has also repainted all of its 165 managed stations. Customer information systems have been upgraded and improvements carried out to the company’s eyewitness security system and CCTV monitoring service based in its Control Centre. London Bridge station was reopened on January 2 after ten days of major engineering work, marking the countdown to completion of the £1 billion redevelopment after more than five years of work. The final section of the huge, modern new concourse and the final five platforms opened for the first time, allowing Cannon Street trains to resume calling at the landmark new station. The vast new concourse, larger than the pitch at Wembley, unites all fifteen platforms for the first time and modern facilities make the landmark station fully accessible for all. There are two new entrances on Tooley Street, which will connect the north and south sides of the station, while the completion of the five new platforms will allow Cannon Street services to once again stop at London Bridge. The tracks through and around the station have been entirely remodelled to modernise the infrastructure and to allow more trains to travel through London, reducing delays and bringing more reliable journeys to more destinations than ever before.

Stagecoach Supertram Stagecoach Supertram has been serving the city of Sheffield since 1994 with four tram lines calling at 50 stops

he tram is owned by the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, which built the network at a cost of around ÂŁ240 million. It was opened in stages between 1994 and 1995 and was run by South Yorkshire Supertram (SYSL) until 1997, when Stagecoach bought the concession for ÂŁ1.15 million that gives it control until 2024. The tramway is served by eight park and ride sites enabling easy parking for car users wishing to complete their journey by tram. Four sites offer paid for parking and the other three sites have free designated parking. Railway Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) distributes electricity to trains at 750 volts DC, which is considerably more than the

power on most tram systems. Around 14.5 million passengers use the tram every year.

trains have been in public service since September 2017.

Tram Train innovation Tram train vehicles that can operate on both mainline rail and tram tracks rolled out on 25th October 2018, making it possible to make a single journey between tram stops and conventional rail stations. Three Tram Trains an hour travel on the Supertram network from Sheffield Cathedral to Meadowhall South, before proceeding over a new section of track linking the tram line to the rail track called the Tinsley Chord and on to the national rail network to Parkgate Retail Centre via Rotherham Central station. The Government funded programme is a partnership between South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE), Network Rail, Stagecoach Supertram and Northern Rail to pilot this pioneering technology.

Pre Metro Operations Ltd is the essential operator of the branch line or tramway, small or large. Our business model for operations at Stourbridge Junction is transferable to similar locations throughout the UK. Small is beautiful and our experience in increasing passenger numbers and reducing the operational carbon footprint of a transport mode is impressive. Let us advise you on how to do it. Be self-contained. The company is sub-contracted by West Midlands Trains to provide operations and Railcar maintenance facilities on the Stourbridge branch line in the West Midlands. Two rail vehicles are currently used both being Class 139 light Railcars built originally by Parry People Movers Ltd in the West Midlands but we are not tied to any one vehicle manufacturer. The Railcars are LPG/Flywheel hybrids with exceptionally low fuel consumption. The passenger services at Stourbridge have been operated since mid-2009 and achieve a consistent reliability of over 99.7%. Passenger numbers have increased each year and have now reached a total 5 million. Passenger satisfaction remains high. The company has demonstrated that less complicated vehicles and simple but robust operational practices can deliver cost effective rail based services. Tel: 01384 441325 Website: www.premetro.co.uk

Passenger operators Holding company Pre Metro Operations

Stourbridge Shuttle Pre Metro Operations, which operates Stourbridge Shuttle, is an open-access train operating company based in Stourbridge in the West Midlands and is the smallest train operating company in the UK

re Metro Operations (PMOL) was founded by Philip Evans and John Parry in 1999 as an independent train operating company, with the intention of running services on short branch lines across the UK using Parry People Movers (PPM) manufactured railcars. Between 2005 and 2006, a prototype Parry People Movers railcar, entered service on the Stourbridge Town Branch Line, the shortest branch line in the country, in order to test the viability of using PPMs on branch lines. Subsequently, it was decided to make the trial permanent. Following the trial operation on the Stourbridge branch line the company received depot and operating licences from the ORR and two Class 139 LPG fuelled/ flywheel hybrid railcars were constructed. Pre Metro Operations commenced operations in June 2009 taking over full operation of the Stourbridge Town Branch Line from London Midland. From the introduction of the service in June 2009 up until the franchise changed hands on 10th December 2017, the service

had been branded as the London Midland Stourbridge Shuttle operated on behalf of previous franchise holder London Midland, with units painted in their standard green, white and grey colours. During the current West Midlands Rail franchise period, which is scheduled to run until March 2026, the service will be operated on behalf of current franchise holder West Midlands Trains, and its two railcars are painted in the West Midlands Railway livery. Pre Metro Operations itself is not subject to franchising as it is an open-access operator. Using innovative technology, PMOL claims to be providing the best-ever service the line has seen in its 130-plus year history. The operation is clean, green, frequent, highly reliable, easy-access and the staff all live in the local area. Since commencing seven-day operation of the service in 2009, patronage has grown, frequency has increased, emissions have been cut, service operation costs have been reduced, and the Sunday service has been revived on the line for the first time since 1914. The Stourbridge Shuttle operates seven days a week with basic ten-minute frequency. Reliability of the service currently stands in the region of 99.6 per

cent having operated 450,000 miles and completed five million passenger journeys to date; up 50 per cent in seven years. PMOL was awarded ‘Highly Commended’ at the Global Light Rail Awards 2016 and 2017 in the ‘Operator of the Year’ category. The company is now looking to expand its operations elsewhere in the UK and is not tied to any one vehicle manufacturer.

The company will work with more than 30 new supply chain partners in the UK advanced manufacturing, technology and construction sectors, half of them in North East England, creating and securing hundreds of skilled jobs. Stadler will also build and run a £70 million new maintenance facility at Metro’s current depot site in South Gosforth, Newcastle, as part of the deal, creating scores more jobs in construction and employing around 100 people directly. The Department for Transport has confirmed it is providing £337 million to Nexus towards funding the cost of the programme, as the Government invests in the North of England’s economy. The new trains will cut Metro’s high voltage power consumption by 30 per cent while providing 15 times better reliability than the current fleet. Metro’s 36 million passengers will benefit from modern features including WiFi, charging points, air conditioning and a stepchange in accessibility. Among new features will

The total value of the partnership between Nexus and Stadler, which will include decommissioning of the existing Metro fleet, could rise to £700 million over 35 years, through a contract to maintain the new trains for up to 35 years depending on performance. The Department for Transport will also provide revenue support to help meet the maintenance costs of the new trains.

a functional rail service taking passengers from A to B, but as a five-star experience in every sense of the word. Belmond operates 46 luxury hotels, restaurants, tourist trains and river cruises in 24 countries and that standard comes across in the accommodation, dining and overall experience of the VSOE. Trains The VSOE continental leg contains 18 carriages - twelve sleeping cars, three dining cars, a bar car and two former sleepers, which provide accommodation for the staff

and storage rooms for luggage and supplies. By day the twin-cabin rooms look out on the European countryside flying by and by night the rooms are transformed into bedrooms. The carriages were refurbished in 2017 to bring them up to date with modern standards of safety and comfort. In March 2018 the ‘Grand Suites’ were launched, each of these suites feature a private bathroom and living area fashioned after the 1920s ‘art deco’ style designed by Wimberly Interiors.

Passenger operators Holding company MML (100% owned by West Midlands Combined Authority)

West Midlands Metro The West Midlands Metro is a tram line running on a 13-mile-long route between Birmingham and Wolverhampton via West Bromwich and Wednesbury

wned by the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and operated by Midland Metro (MML), the West Midlands Metro opened in May 1999 and ran on a previously unused section of line that was part of the Great Western Railway – the Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton Low Level Line. Rebrand and expansion MML was awarded a 15-year operations and maintenance contract for the Metro system by the WMCA starting on 24th June 2018. Working with Transport for West Midlands, it expects to grow the £12 million turnover to £50 million by 2030. It currently employs 200 staff and carries eight million passengers per year, it is expected this will grow to over 400 staff and 30 million passengers by 2030. The West Midlands Combined Authority and Transport for West Midlands is spearheading a £1.3 billion investment programme. The project will add new control, communications and passenger information systems and an upgraded depot, control room and maintenance facilities. Rolling stock Currently, there are 21 Urbos 3 model trams operating on the regional network. The first of those to be fitted with batteries was launched into operation in April 2018. The other 20 existing trams are being retro-fitted with batteries in a rolling programme designed to ensure passenger services remain unaffected. The battery technology removes the need for overhead electrical wires. This will help engineers meet various challenges constructing the new network extensions – for example, the battery-powered trams will

be able to travel underneath the Five Ways roundabout and the new Curzon St station. Once a supplier is awarded the contract, around May 2019, there will be a two-year design and development process. The first of the new trams are expected to be in action by Summer 2021. Extension project In 2016 the tram line was extended into Birmingham city centre. Work on five new stops started early in 2017 in a £150 million extension project, £60 million of which comes from the Department of Transport and the rest coming from Birmingham City Council and other local authorities and developers. The line is being extended by 1.2 miles from New Street station to Hagley Road and is currently predicted to start operations by 2021/22. In order to maintain the aesthetic of the buildings along the extension parts of the route will not have overhead lines and the trams will instead run on batteries. The single line currently stops at 26 stations with four more under construction. Brierley Hill On 20th November 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May announced a £250 million grant

which would create eight thousand jobs as part of the Government’s ‘Transforming Cities’ initiative. The total size of the fund is £1.7 billion, with £207 million of the grant being allocated by the West Midlands Combined Authority towards the extension to Brierley Hill. Preliminary works for this line are under way and it is expected to open to Dudley Town Centre in late 2022 and Brierley Hill in late 2023. The line will branch out from Wednesbury station and run for just under seven miles, mostly along a disused freight line. Services will operate every six minutes during peak times and every ten minutes at other times with a journey time of 24 minutes between Wednesbury and the terminus at Brierley Hill Town Centre.

Passenger operators Holding company Abellio/Mitsui/JR East

West Midlands Trains West Midlands Trains is a TOC owned by Abellio UK, JR East and Mitsui. Abellio has a 70.1 per cent share with JR East and Mitsui owning the rest of the company in a 50/50 split

est Midlands Trains is one franchise that operates two brands. The first is West Midlands Railway which began operations on 10th December 2017, taking over from London Midland in a new franchise that will run until March 2026. The other is London Northwestern Railway which replaced London Midland’s West Coast services. London Northwestern Railway The West Midlands Railway brand was announced, after being created by the West Midlands Combined Authority. The introduction of two new, separate railway brands enable potential devolution of Department for Transport powers to the West Midlands Combined Authority. London Northwestern Railway would remain under the remit of the Department for Transport for future retender. Both London Northwestern Railway and West Midlands Railway offer fresh propositions for their customers. The two brands have a shared management board, while being closely aligned to their specific regional and route requirements. The changes are a part of the near £1 billion of investment into the network over the next six years by Abellio, JR East and Mitsui. This includes £700 million on new trains, produced by Bombardier and CAF and £70 million on new depots. Dominic Booth, Managing Director of Abellio UK, said: ‘We are delighted to bring the London Northwestern Railway brand to a whole new generation of passengers, and it seems apt during a time of record investment into the railways. ‘This is all part of the £1 billion of improvements we are delivering to the network over the coming years.’ More than £60 million is to be invested in station improvements delivering over a thousand new car parking spaces and over 2,500 cycle parking spaces. This is alongside new and refurbished waiting rooms, more seats at stations and feasibility studies into developing new stations in the West Midlands. Train improvements Bombardier and CAF will manufacture 413 new carriages, creating space for an extra 85,000 passengers on rush hour services in Birmingham and London. A total of 333 of the new trains will be produced by Bombardier at its facility in Derby. Dominic Booth said: ‘It is great news that so many of these trains will be produced in

Bedford and Bletchley. Community engagement As part of the cash injection 900 new apprenticeships will be created over the lifetime of the franchise with existing staff beneffitting from a £13 million investment in staff training and development during that same period. There is also £1.25 million earmarked for investment in community rail initiatives. West Midlands hub Trains running only in the West Midlands area will be jointly managed by the Department for Transport (DfT) and West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE), a consortium of 16 local councils.

This is the first time that West Midlands authorities have had such a level of influence in setting out what a train company needs to deliver for local passengers. A business case outlining the importance of a Midlands Rail Hub, was drawn up by the Midlands Connect partnership in collaboration with Network Rail. Key elements of the Midlands Hub study included: • Building the Bordesley Chord which will allow key services to access Moor Street station instead of New Street station and provide the potential for new stations at Moseley, Kings Heath and Hazelwell • Bringing additional platforms at Moor Street into use

Page 146 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

• Increasing the number of tracks from two to four through Water Orton to accommodate more passenger and freight services • £2 billion of economic benefits unlocking new jobs and supporting economic growth over the next ten to thirty years • Up to ten extra trains per hour in and out of Birmingham linking with other towns and cities in the Midlands including Leicester, Nottingham and Tamworth and Burton-on-Trent • Up to 26,000 lorries off the road every year. Cllr Mark Winnington, Vice Chair of WMRE and cabinet member for economic growth at Staffordshire County Council, said at the time: ‘The proposals in this Study would bring significant benefits for West Midlands passengers with more trains, more destinations and more capacity. ‘That is crucial when you consider there will be an estimated 24 million extra passenger train journeys being made in the Midlands each year by 2023.’

Freight operators

Colas Rail Formerly known as Seco Rail, Colas Rail is a rail freight operator owned by French industrial group Bouygues

C • • • •

olas Rail is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of railway infrastructure services. The organisation is split into four different sections: Rail Infrastructure. Rail Services. Urban Rail. High-Speed Rail

The infrastructure section covers railway construction and maintenance activities, much of this work is done on behalf of Network Rail. The services section consists of freight activities and rail grinding and strategic plants services and the urban section is dedicated to urban rail construction and maintenance. Combined, the different sections of Colas Rail cover all aspects of rail infrastructure, high-speed and light rail as well as being a national freight operator. It currently has a freight haulage contract with Network Rail worth £90 million. That contract runs for the entirety of Network Rail’s Control Period Five which comes to an end in 2019. Rolling stock Colas Rail currently operates an extensive fleet of railway assets: 130 locomotives, 500 wagons and two track-laying trains. As well as three ballast clearing machines, 32 ballast tampers, three stabilisers, 13 ballast regulators, 55 road-rail vehicles, 15 loaders, and three concreting trains, across the 20 countries in which it operates. Included in this collection are several ‘Specialist Wagons’ including eight ‘Slinger’ rail delivery and recovery gantry wagons, one high capacity 125T Kirow crane KRC 1200 UK, 16 PEM LEM switch handling units (PEMs/LEMs) and two Track Relaying Machines (TRM). Following on from a shift away from freight operations towards rolling stock maintenance it expanded its rolling stock maintenance business in October 2016 by establishing a new French subsidiary, Ramfer. Site of the future In 2019, Network Rail and Colas Rail UK used solar lighting and power generation to prove the viability of a sustainable ‘Site of the Future’, achieving 97 per cent diesel-free operation in support of a major rail renewal project at Llanwern, South Wales. The joint Network Rail and Colas Rail initiative used solar and battery technologies from Prolectric Ltd instead of diesel generators to save 6,000 litres of fuel,

and more than 15 tonnes of CO2 during a 14-day project centred around a 72-hour possession over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. The results are being viewed as a significant achievement that marks an environmental milestone towards clean, carbon-free off-grid working, in support of Network Rail’s target to reduce non-traction energy consumption by almost 20 per cent and carbon emissions by 25 per cent by 2024. Network Rail contracts In 2019 Colas Rail UK secured three major contracts with Network Rail, a Rail Systems Alliance contract, a Signalling and Telecoms Framework contract and a Rail Haulage contract. The first of these contracts involves the Rail Systems Alliance in the South. It was awarded to Colas Rail and AECOM to deliver rail system works including track renewals, signalling, electrification and civils works for the South of England worth an estimated £1.5 billion. The ten-year contract spans Control Periods 6 (2019-2024) creating an alliance between Network Rail, Colas Rail (installer) and AECOM (designer) covering the Anglia, South East, Wessex, Western and Wales routes. The second contract awarded to Colas Rail covers signalling and telecoms (S&T) frameworks for the western region, worth an estimated £75 million for Control Period 6, including stand-alone level crossing renewals, life extension works, telecoms renewals and related civil engineering works. Colas Rail will be involved from design to construction, testing and commissioning of signalling and telecoms works. Network Rail has also awarded Lot 1 and Lot 5 of the rail haulage and seasonal service contract to Colas Rail worth an estimated £12 million per year. Colas Rail will deliver haulage for bulk ballast and will be operating the snow and ice treatment trains. New tamping machines In 2019 Colas Rail welcomed four brand new Unimat 09-4X4/4S Dynamic Tamper Machines to its plant fleet. The purchase of these new machines allows Rail Services to support Rail Infrastructure in achieving higher hand-back speeds following track renewal works and saving time and money for its clients. The new machines boast quite a few impressive features some of which are listed below:

• Continuous action tamping for plain line track and turnouts. • Continuous treatment of turnouts using three rail lifting and four rail tamping. • Four independent tamping units with a total of 16 tamping tines. • Integrated track stabilising unit (DTS). • The outer tamping units on each side are positioned on telescopic jibs and can be extended for tamping the fourth rail. • Lifting and lining unit with hooks and roller clamps. • Smart ALC Automatic Guiding Computer. • DRP-8 Channel recorder. A conventional machine would need to stop and start as it ‘tamps’ the track; this machine however maintains constant movement. The tamping banks are in effect separate from the machine (Satellite system) itself making it more efficient and able to carry out tamping while the machine is still moving. Traditionally relay teams go in and re-lay the track, followed by tamper works, the track will be handed back to traffic at a reduced speed, during this time a train will slow down when it gets to that section of track as a speed restriction would have been put in place. After a few days a tamper will go back in to compact the ballast to bring the track up to line speed. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the machine, the integrated Dynamic Track Stabilising system (DTS) at the back of the machine can now treat the track with a downward pressure equivalent to one hundred freight trains. Compacting the ballast and allowing for hand-back at line speed.

Freight operators

DB Cargo UK DB Cargo UK is the largest rail freight haulier in the UK. It operates freight and infrastructure services, as well as passenger charter trains throughout the UK

he company was born in 1996 when assets from the former British Rail freight business were used to form English Welsh and Scottish Railway (EWS). In 2007 Deutsche Bahn AG acquired all shares in the company and in 2016 renamed it DB Cargo UK. Logistics In October 2018, UK manufacturing was given a major boost with the opening of DB Cargo UK’s new £6 million steel logistics centre in the West Midlands. Construction took more than twelve months and saw the German-owned freight operator more than double the size of its existing facility in Knowles Road, Wolverhampton, which receives imported steel from as far afield as Holland and Sweden. The £6 million project was one of the largest investments in rail freight in the past five years and seen as a major vote of confidence in the UK’s continuing ability to trade and attract inward investment postBrexit. The new state-of-the-art logistics centre is now used by some of the world’s biggest steel companies including ArcelorMittal, Tata Steel and SSAB; providing a major boost to local businesses that use their products in their manufacturing processes. Intermodal In April 2019 DB Cargo UK announced a major new agreement with road haulier Maritime Transport Ltd which saw two of the UK’s largest freight operators combine their expertise to increase railfreight capacity and competition in the intermodal market.

Under the terms of the proposed agreement: • DB Cargo UK was contracted to run Maritime Intermodal’s rail operations out of Felixstowe and Southampton • Maritime Intermodal took on responsibility for DB Cargo UK’s terminals in Trafford Park, Manchester and Wakefield in West Yorkshire, thus strengthening the road haulier’s national network of strategic hubs • Maritime Intermodal took responsibility for DB Cargo UK’s existing intermodal customers on its Felixstowe and Southampton services. The number of intermodal services being operated by Maritime Intermodal continues to grow, with two new services recently launched between London gateway and Trafford Park in Manchester. Track infrastructure renewals In August 2019, DB Cargo UK started work on a multi-million programme of investment to improve track and rail infrastructure at three key sites. The UK’s largest rail freight operator is replacing more than 20 kilometres of track at its depots

at Immingham in North Lincolnshire, Rotherham in South Yorkshire and Toton in Nottinghamshire. The investment will further improve the safety and reliability of services. Innovation in customer service In November 2018 DB Cargo UK launched an industry-leading new service that enables customers to view their rail freight deliveries in real time via an online tracking system. The new web-based portal allows DB Cargo UK customers to see the number and type of wagons on their service, as well as exactly what progress the loco is making at any given time. Responsive to all mobile devices the portal is easy to use and can be accessed on the go. The system was designed by customers for customers and is the product of collaboration with some of DB Cargo UK’s existing partners including Mendip Rail, British Steel, Tarmac and Puma Energy. Awards DB Cargo UK was awarded Rail Freight Operator of the Year at the Global Freight Awards 2018.

Direct Rail Services Direct Rail Services (DRS) was established in 1995 to aid the nuclear industry in transporting waste from power stations to reprocessing plants

RS continues to support the decommissioning activities of its parent company, but it has also extended its service offerings into a number of new rail market sectors. Such as: • Intermodal freight • Specialist freight • Rail network infrastructure support • Major infrastructure project support • Passenger and TOC support. Rolling stock 2014 saw the introduction of a new Class 68 locomotive, jointly developed with Vossloh in Valencia, Spain. As part of its drive for technical innovation, DRS has developed a fleet of IDA ‘Super’ Lowliner twin platforms. Offering an ultra-low platform height which results in reduced CO2 and increased fuel efficiency. This also allowed the company to increase its network access and gave it the ability to carry higher height ISO containers across the network. Intermodal – Tesco Working in partnership, DRS and Stobart

Rail combined their road and rail capabilities to help Tesco meet its commitment to be zero carbon by 2050. Switching to an intermodal delivery solution is set to save an estimated 26 million lorry miles every year, with a correspondingly dramatic reduction in CO2, as the full range of intermodal services come on line. On average, each rail journey takes 77 heavy goods vehicles off the UK’s congested roads. This results in dramatic fuel savings and can reduce CO2 emissions by up to eighty per cent depending on the route. DRS’ use of lowliner wagons allows for two additional containers to be placed on each train, further cutting costs and reducing CO2. Golden Whistle Winners 2017 DRS received the Golden Whistle Award for the fourth time running in London where it was officially declared The Best Performing Rail Freight Operator. Organised by the Institute of Railway Operators, the annual event celebrates operational excellence in the industry. The Golden Whistle is awarded on consistent arrival times at destination over

the previous twelve months during which DRS was declared more reliable than any of its competitors.

Freightliner Group Freightliner is an intermodal and bulk haulage rail freight company operating in the UK, Continental Europe and the Middle East

ounded in 1965 in the UK the company has since expanded across Europe and into the Middle East. After a few years operating only intermodal services from ports like Southampton and Tilbury to Birmingham, Manchester and others, Freightliner began operating infrastructure trains for Network Rail in 1999. In the first ten years after privatisation Freightliner trebled the number of services it ran. Freightliner and sister company Pentalver are owned by Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (G&W). G&W owns or leases 119 freight railroads worldwide organised in eight locally managed operating regions with 8,000 employees serving 3,000 customers. Intermodal Freightliner is the leading UK intermodal rail freight operator for the transportation of maritime containers with a comprehensive network offering the complete logistics package or trunk rail moves. Operating around a hundred services daily, Freightliner moves over 770,000 maritime containers per year from the deepsea ports of Felixstowe, Southampton and London Gateway to all major conurbations in the UK, offering total coverage of the UK network. The combined Pentalver/Freightliner road fleet consists of more than 350 modern tractor units and over 900 trailers to compliment the rail operations, providing a total logistics solution to their customer base. New Services In November 2019, Freightliner commenced its new bulk rail-haulage service for Mendip Rail Ltd. a joint venture between Hanson Aggregates and Aggregate Industries. Under the new contract, Freightliner will haul in excess of eight million tons per year of aggregate to terminals in London and the Southeast of England from quarries in Northern Somerset.

Freightliner CEO Gary Long said: “By adding one of the largest bulk haulage contracts in the UK, we are also adding to the foundation of our long-term bulk business as we have successfully replaced traffic losses caused by the collapse of the UK coal industry in 2015” Depot In September 2017 a rail depot contained within Freightliner’s existing Garston complex, which will take around 10,000 trucks off the roads every year, was opened by the Mayor for Liverpool City Region, Steve Rotheram and MP for Garston and Halewood, Maria Eagle. The operation, created by construction solutions provider Tarmac in partnership with rail freight operating company Freightliner and terminal handling business Rail Freight Services, will receive up to 300,000 tonnes of aggregates a year for onward supply to Tarmac customers across Merseyside and Cheshire. Rolling Stock The bulk of the fleet is made up of Class 66 locomotives, which were introduced in 1998. In 2009 Freightliner introduced 19 Powerhaul locomotives; these have the same haulage capacity of 1,800 tonnes and run at the same speed. In 2018/19, Freightliner added eight Class 59 locomotives to their fleet for the Mendip Rail contract. Steel supply chain In 2016 Freightliner was awarded the contract for British Steel’s rail haulage of raw materials to Scunthorpe Steelworks.

Since then, teams from Freightliner and British Steel’s Immingham Bulk Terminal and Ore Blending Plant have collaborated to improve the process flow, removing a massive bottleneck in the last stage of the supply chain feeding the steelworks, resulting in a more efficient operation which meets British Steel’s demanding delivery schedule to keep the furnaces fed with ore and coal. In order to achieve this, Freightliner consulted with British Steel to gain a thorough understanding of their precise requirements so that they could design a suitable train plan which has enabled British Steel to focus on producing steel as opposed to worrying about deliveries of raw materials. Freightliner commercial director, David Israel said: ‘The hard work and close working relationship between the British Steel and Freightliner teams has paid dividends. As a result, we have delivered a more efficient train plan which has directly contributed to the on-going success of the British Steel brand.’ KEY PERSONNEL CEO G&W UK/Europe Region : Gary Long Chief Financial Officer: Charles Noble Engineering and Operations Services Director: Tim Shakerley MD – Rail Services: Neil McNicholas Commercial Director - Bulk: David Israel Commercial Director - Intermodal: Clive Slayford Planning & Resources Director: Mike Leadbetter General Manager - UK Operations Projects: Jon Bunyan UK Engineering Production Director: Dave Curtis

Why choose Huck® Fasteners? Fasteners are an important engineering component; product reliability is key

uck fasteners are used in many tough engineering applications, although their function is simple – to hold components together – there are a wide variety of designs and sizes available. These fasteners have been designed to cope with extreme stress and vibration, providing strength and facilitating lighter, stronger, more durable structures. Huck Fasteners are commonly used in railcars, railway tracks, rolling stock, aerospace, truck suspensions and chassis, bridge construction, heavy defense vehicles and mining/quarrying applications. In fact, anywhere that fastener failure is not an option. Engineered for easy installation, and long, reliable life Direct-tension HuckBolt’s and structural blind fasteners can often be a faster, more cost efficient, and safer alternative to traditional processes. Fasteners are an important engineering component; therefore, product reliability is key. Due to the complex working environment, traditional bolted joints often experience self-loosening (gradual loss of preload) over their working life, which can cause a decrease in the structures strength and loss of joint integrity. The key difference between HuckBolts and conventional fastener installations is found in the structure of the threads

of each of the fastening systems. Instead of the deep threads required to achieve a tolerance fit between conventional nuts and bolts, the HuckBolt pin requires only shallow locking grooves into which the collar is swaged. The shallow design of the locking grooves allows for a much larger pin root radius, which contributes significantly to the fatigue strength – up to five times that of a conventional nut and bolt. Alternatives to welding For years, welding was seen as the only way to ensure the integrity of joints in demanding load-bearing or high-vibration structures. Today there are alternatives to welding, the direct-tension, swaged Huck BobTail® Lockbolt is a uniquely engineered fastener. It is a two-part fastening system that consists of a pin and a collar. This enables the structure to be easily preassembled by hand allowing for additional alterations and checks. The fastener is then installed using a direct tension technique, in which the pin is pulled and the collar is simultaneously swaged into the locking grooves of the pin, deforming the collar into the grooves and swaging the material forward. This action develops the high clamp force. The Huck BobTail has been designed to provide superior joining strength and offers fast, secure and simple installation. Even taking into consideration the need to drill holes, installing a Lockbolt is significantly

faster than welding a joint and a quick visual inspection is all that is required to confirm the accuracy and quality of the installation. HuckBolt’s can be effectively used with virtually any metal, and disparate metals with dissimilar coefficients of thermal expansion present no problems. Varying piece sizes in a joint are readily accommodated, and surface finishes are not harmed. Most importantly, HuckBolt’s are proven to hold up over years of service in demanding high-stress, high-vibration environments. Independently tested with third party approval The Huck BobTail 12,14,16, 20mm and one-inch diameters, after lengthy and vigorous independent testing, have gained the prestigious Allgemeine bauaufsichtliche Zulassungen (German national technical approval) from the world renowned DIBt (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik) for use in both static and dynamic applications in civil engineering. The approval concludes that retorque/re-tension of an installed Huck BobTail LockBolt is not possible and also not necessary, and connections do not require maintenance regarding preload. Joints fastened together by BobTail large diameter LockBolts, within the range specified, are maintenance free. Technical support that will add value to your project Star Fasteners have been a Huck fastener distributor for over thirty years and are the UK’s largest stockists. Star Fasteners work closely with their customers to understand their applications and suggest new products that they may not have initially considered for a project. They can do this thanks to the knowledge and experience that they have within the market. Tel: 0115 9324939 Email: sales@starfasteners.co.uk Visit: www.starfasteners.co.uk

Consulting

Collaboration through consultancy For too long consultants have been engaged on a race to the bottom and measured on volume not value. The Future of Consultancy initiative explores new business models, innovation and relevance … to create a transformational step change

oseph Infante, someone with whom I worked to help deliver the Rail Supply Group’s SME-focussed efforts caught my attention on LinkedIn a short while ago with the above statement. The initiative to which Joseph refers is the Association of Consulting Engineer’s (ACE) new campaign, the ‘Future of Consultancy’. Drawing on three drivers of change, data, demand and devolution, ACE is campaigning to reposition consultancy as a source of technical expertise; for the consulting party to act as the ‘technical client partner tasked with unlocking value’. I for one have often quipped about the fact that I have never known so many consultants. From sole traders to multinational corporations, and whether looking at rail as an isolated vertical or through the transportation or construction lens, one cannot argue that consultants are easy to find. But how can we determine which consultants offer the necessary level of expertise and experience? Is this maybe the problem that the Future of Consultancy campaign is hoping to address? To reposition consultants as trusted partners that should be brought in as early as possible, to create and define value from the off. Instead of being brought into a project in as a reactionary, valueengineering fire-fighter? In ACE’s own words, in their campaign document, they state that ‘the new role for consultancy is focussed on the value that technical expertise can add when managing information’. At the crux of the campaign, I feel, is the importance of this information, of data, or rather of data-led asset performance. ‘Big Data’ is a term at risk of becoming

‘Big Data’ is a term at risk of becoming jargonised, if it hasn’t already. But no-one can argue the inherent value of data; provided we know what data we need, and how we can derive useful information from it, to generate results

jargonised, if it hasn’t already. But noone can argue the inherent value of data; provided we know what data we need, and how we can derive useful information from it, to generate results. In terms of my personal area of interest, we at 3Squared for example can collate, combine and interpret data to monitor operatives’ capabilities or to provide near-real time information on vehicle performance. These seemingly separate data streams can be overlaid to map positive behaviours of (wo)man or machine, which in turn can be translated into optimised processes or procedures. The key is that we appreciate both the immediate and the inferred value of the information, which in turn provides pay-back to the client in various ways. This is where ACE’s Future of Consultancy provides so much scope, not simply for the construction sector, but for

anyone that recognises the value of the digital economy, even if we cannot fully quantify that value yet. Data as a driver of change, and of value ACE estimates that, in the infrastructure sector alone, effectively collating and interpreting the right data ‘could deliver annual benefits of £158 billion’. Imagine if across our various sectors, consultants and consultancies were able to collaborate, share data sensibly, and thus generate information that exponentially increases the efficacy of our individual actions. Key to this is getting a much clearer understanding not only of the client’s needs, but also of what the client values. In effect collaborating with the client, becoming a partner, not a transactional supplier. Hannah Vickers, Chief Executive of ACE explains that this takes a ‘whole life cycle approach which redefines value…

everything is connected through policy, delivery and operation working hand-inglove to create a truly virtuous cycle’. I work neither for the Association of Consulting Engineers, nor do I consider myself a consultant (one person, responding to Joseph’s post that I quote above suggests a 25-year threshold before being able to consider oneself capable of consultancy…. I’ve only had about 15 years in transportation all-told) so why do I feel I can comment on this area? Because in our own right, as individuals or companies, we all have our areas of expertise, we all have experience that can benefit others. This is our asset data. How we perform with that data, for personal gain or, preferably for the benefit of our partnership networks, is how we can each play a role in the future of consultancy. For further information on the #FutureOfConsulting please visit: https:// www.acenet.co.uk/media/4194/future-ofconsultancy-strategy.pdf Lucy Prior MBE is Business Engagement Director at 3Squared, a specialist SaaS provider to the transportation and construction markets. Lucy also sits on the steering committee of Northern Rail Industry Leaders, and the RSG’s export workstream.

Rail depot design (for dummies) Over the last 20 years, there have been some significant changes to the way that rolling stock is manufactured and deployed, which in turn is impacting the design and operation of the depots and workshops that are there to maintain the new rolling stock

egular servicing and maintenance are fundamental to the safe and efficient operation of any railway. Each depot or workshop typically has to satisfy a unique set of requirements, determined by the type of rolling stock to be maintained, the maintenance activities to be undertaken, and the frequency of those activities. Sustainability should be a taken, and a good design will also ensure the depot is adaptable for future needs. As a result, there are many factors that should be considered when designing and building new depots and workshops, or indeed when enhancing existing facilities. From my personal experience the simple things are sometimes forgotten, hence this ‘dummies’ guide. Where to start? The design process should start from the moment the need for a depot is conceived. A depot is a complex beast, which needs a wellthought-out design to be in place. The UK rail industry also complicates this process, as there are numerous stakeholders involved which creates multiple interfaces that can increase the risks of the depot not achieving the most effective operational layout. The optimum solution to all these interfaces is to ensure that the team responsible for the new rolling stock fleet are closely linked with the team responsible

for the design and development of the depot scheme. The rolling stock team should understand the vehicle requirements such as coach length, onboard equipment locations, power needs whilst on the depot, connection points and any high-level access needs. The front-line depot staff should be involved, as they will bring experience from depots with similar environments. Human factors This seems obvious, but people work in depots (AI and robots are coming!) so the depot design, and that of the equipment provided with it, should take into account the interaction of humans. Human factors is a scientific discipline that looks to optimise the interactions between people and the systems they live and work with. A clean and well-lit working environment is a must, there are still some depots that haven’t changed since the Victorian times! Diesel fume extraction should be provided (diesels are with us until the 2030s), how many times have you visited a diesel depot and found the back of your throat burning after 20 minutes! The design should also ensure there is provision of adequate welfare and accommodation for different staff undertaking different tasks, and that future needs are provided for, or at least passive provision is included.

Sustainability First and foremost, sustainability shouldn’t be an afterthought or add-on, it should be designed in from the start and considered as fundamental. Sustainability is also a key contributor to whole life cost and should be seen as one of the many benefits of the project. All areas of the depot design should be reviewed for sustainability – materials selection, use of renewable technologies (depot roofs are typically long with a large surface area, ideal for solar energy capture and rain water harvesting techniques), noise pollution, lighting and air quality. Don’t forget the neighbours! Specific environmental measures might include the separation of litter and other waste materials removed from the train during internal cleaning, requiring separate storage and disposal facilities. External cleaning systems and washing plants have to incorporate water treatment, and some traditional cleaning agents are no longer permitted. Sustainability will encourage innovation in the depot design. Set a target, such as attaining the BREEAM standard. What equipment will I need? This all depends on the maintenance activities that are designed to take place at the depot. Not all depots undertake all maintenance, so it’s imperative that the functionality is agreed at the design stage to prevent missing equipment or unnecessary equipment that then stands idle for years. Passive provision for future mid-life maintenance can be included in the design, with the equipment purchased at a later date. A list of ‘typical’ activities for a depot would include: • stabling • light maintenance – inspection and assessment • cleaning (interior) • toilet emptying (known as CET for Controlled Emission Toilets) • fuelling • sanding (sand boxes used for braking/ acceleration assistance) • watering or tanking • trainwash (exterior cleaning) • wheel reprofiling (Wheel Lathe) • heavy maintenance – usually involving lifting the vehicle or a bogie drop • major overhauls • in house bogie maintenance or outsourced?

The current trend for new depots is

to have on-site ‘Vehicle Scanning’. These systems scan the train as it enters the depot and provide real time data on key wearable components such as wheels, brake pads and pantograph carbons. These scanners, when combined with onboard condition monitoring systems, give depot planners advance notice of issues and allow for depot movements to be pre-planned. This reporting chain offers advantages for the depot team, allowing an incoming vehicle to be directed straight to the appropriate track for maintenance or repair, if required. All the spare parts and tools required for rapid execution of the work in the available timeframe are on site until the vehicle is put back into operation. To facilitate this the depot needs to be able to detect the trains, identify them, route them and monitor the progress of maintenance activities. To ensure safe depot movements, a Depot Personnel Protection System is required, which will prevent vehicle movements whilst staff are still performing activities on the depot floor or in the vehicle. Storage and stockholding Holding a large quantity of spare parts can represent a significant cost element in the maintenance process, based both on the

www.televic-rail.com

value of the spares and the space required. However, this has to be traded off against the loss of productivity if vehicles are held out of service awaiting parts. While greater use of condition-based maintenance is providing more information about the life-cycle and usage of individual components, operators need to give thought to these issues when planning their maintenance strategies, as this will affect the design of depots and workshops Future proof? Once the depot or workshop is constructed and operational, it will need to be maintained itself. So, the ongoing maintainability should be a key part of the design process. This should include ongoing maintenance, life cycle management and life expired replacement schemes and instructions. Maintenance costs should be considered as part of the whole life cost of the design. Try to make the equipment modular which will give the option to reposition in the future, for expansion or rolling stock changes. If the depot is a diesel depot, the design should also consider the capability to accept OLE in the future. In terms of future proofing the depot, the more space the better is a good starting

point but is not the panacea! As the industry moves towards the Digital Railway, depot designers will be challenged as the ‘final’ product isn’t fully understood yet. What is expected is that the systems associated with digital signalling will be train borne, and as a result, more activities will be undertaken at the depot. So, what makes a good depot? In essence and in summary (and in my opinion!), a good depot is one that allows the rolling stock fleet to receive the required level of maintenance with minimal delay. It does this in an environment which presents minimal risk to employees and minimal impact on the environment.

How to heat a rail shed HS2 will create thousands of jobs during its construction process as well as 2,000 apprenticeships

pproximately 25,000 people are needed to build the project and to support this, Network Rail are providing two state of the art colleges to train the next generation of rail engineers, located in Birmingham and Doncaster. The new pool of talent will all need to understand the challenges involved in high-speed electric railways of the future rather than the steam and diesels of the past. Danny Packham, Danny Packham European product Manager – Warm Air and radiant for Reznor (part of Nortek Global HVAC UK Ltd) explains what the next generation need to know regarding the heating of train sheds. Background High Speed 2 (HS2) is one of the largest infrastructure projects that this country has ever seen – six times the budget of the 2012 Olympics. It will provide a new high-speed railway link between London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, speeding up journeys, releasing space on crowded lines and bringing Britain closer together. Network Rail’s high-speed rail colleges will be elite institutions, defined by their focus on progression to a higher level of study – delivering truly innovative training and offering the very best in teaching and specialist equipment. What to consider when heating a rail shed The ways in which train care depots are utilised, often intermittently and at irregular time intervals, make the efficient use of energy extremely difficult. Therefore, consideration must be given to selecting a heating system that offers flexibility of operation at optimum efficiency. The following factors represent some of the prime considerations when assessing the impact of any heating solution in a train care environment. Train maintenance sheds are invariably very long and narrow with large doors opening constantly at each end, thus notoriously difficult to heat and even more difficult to keep warm. The doors often occupy the full width of the building and may be left open for many hours a day, thus creating a wind tunnel effect and cold air at high velocity is drawn through the shed. This means that air infiltration can severely disrupt comfort conditions within the interior. A heating system needs to be able to sustain a comfortable environment in these conditions and especially provide rapid recovery once the doors are closed. Air curtains over or to the side of the doors, either ambient or heated can mitigate the

issue of air infiltration at the doors. Maintenance is frequently carried out at night thus compounding the inhospitable climatic conditions and with partial occupation, it is therefore important for efficient use of energy, that the heating system can be easily and effectively zone controlled. The mass of a train is considerable, when a cold and wet train enters the shed it creates a cold sink, the heating system needs to be able to provide rapid response to changed conditions. Radiant heating The primary source of radiant energy in the natural environment is the sun. By standing in the sun’s rays a feeling of warmth is experienced, whilst in the shade it feels considerably cooler. Radiant heat warms all solid objects and surfaces in its path. Reznor has exploited this concept in its energy efficient radiant heating systems. Radiant tube heaters, mounted overhead, produce infrared radiant heat that is directed downward by a reflector. The infrared heat passes through the air without heating it and falls on people, floors and equipment below creating comfortable allround radiant warmth at low level, without wastefully heating the whole volume of the building or the roof space. Because radiant heat can be controlled directionally, only the occupied areas of the building need to be heated, which enables considerable energy savings to be realised. The objective of a radiant heating system is to ensure that the people in the building are comfortably warm. By the correct

Page 168 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

application of a radiant heating system comfort levels can be optimised. Radiant heat warms objects and surfaces, increasing the mean radiant temperature and reducing the body’s loss of heat to its surroundings. In addition, by eliminating air movement convective loss of heat from the body will also be reduced. How heating specifications differ – Steam Loco Sheds Due to the nature of the locomotive, vast amounts of steam are released, captured by massive hoods and released to atmosphere. When designing a heating system account of these hoods in the roof space is critical. • the majority of work undertaken on these locos is at low level, ensuring heat between the tracks on the platform and in the pits is vital • Nor-Ray-Vac, due to its unique long lengths of radiant emitter is an ideal solution for heating the long distances between trains • some rail sheds are in excess of 300 million in length. Due to the physical size of the sheds, the design of the heating system is paramount to ensure optimum zoning capabilities, both for client operational flexibility to minimise running costs and to ensure the capability of being able to rapidly respond to changed conditions. These sheds due to the age were notoriously poorly insulated structures with open doors at each end creating a massive wind tunnel. Radiant heat was the only realistic option as a heat source.

Depots & fleet maintenance

Diesel Loco Sheds Many of these sheds derive from the steam era and consequently some still lack good insulation values for the fabric. Diesel locos also have hoods to collect the diesel fumes from the engines, but due to the general atmosphere within these sheds the radiant heating system has to be designed to have ducted fresh air supply from outside to the gas burners. This ensures the filters within the burners are kept clean and not clogged from the diesel fumes. Again, the above points one to three are relevant to heating these sheds. Electric Loco Sheds (power via 3rd rail) These sheds tend to be cleaner due to the lack of diesel fumes and do not require ducted air to the gas burners of a radiant heating system. The work on these trains is primarily at low level, so again the above points 1 to 3 are relevant to heating these sheds. Electric HS Loco Sheds (overhead power) These sheds are primarily new facilities, in which case they are well insulated. Again due to the cleanliness within the sheds compared to diesels, there is no requirement for ducted air to the gas burners of the radiant heating system. Unlike the previous

types of locos, work has to be undertaken on top of the loco to maintain the power unit. These sheds have personnel staging for access to the top of the trains. When designing a radiant heating system for such facilities, due regard of the staging has to be taken into account. The radiant emitter cannot be too close to the working area above the trains. The staging is normally in a defined location within the facility. This can result in a challenge for designers but it is achievable given sufficient roof height within the facility. The ability to be able to zone the radiant heating is paramount in such instances. Evidence of success Amongst other successful traincare applications Reznor were able to provide the ideal heating solution for the National College for High Speed Rail at Doncaster. Radiant heat (Nor-Ray-Vac) was specified as the heating system for the Large Scale Workshop comprising an area of 1,906m2 within the facility. The NRV system is comprised of nine 38LR burners arranged in three branches, suspended at twelve metres above finished floor level, with one discharge fan flue. Due to the type of operation within the facility, i.e. training of students throughout the floor

area, the system is controlled as one zone. The NRV system produces blanket uniform heat coverage for the complete workshop. Operating costs are minimised by concentrating the heat at low level, where it is most needed, without heating the volume of air in the building. Rapid response times reduce running costs further. Such flexibility means that warmth is felt by people in the building within minutes of start-up and no fuel is wasted bringing the whole volume of air to a comfortable temperature. Since the Nor-Ray-Vac radiant system burns fuel at point of use, there are no distribution losses to take into account. The College will be built on a ready to go 5.1 acre site at Doncasters Lakeside. As an elite institution, the college will be a flagship facility for advanced and higher level apprentices, as well as providing opportunities for the existing workforce to learn new skills in the latest technology, meeting the wider economic need for an increased supply in engineers and will therefore have a purpose beyond the timeframes of HS2.

Transforming rolling stock maintenance and inspection Premier Pits has been manufacturing and installing prefabricated steel maintenance and inspection pits for vehicle workshops for over 35 years

ince 2007, and after rigorous research and development, the introduction of Premier Rail Pits has brought this innovative approach to the rail industry. Here are some examples of how a prefabricated steel pit has been the preferred solution to precast concrete. Alstom Technology Centre • Specification – Manufacturing and installing a 30 metre Railway Inspection Pit. With LED lights and two access tunnels. • The Project – Premier Pits was appointed in October 2016 to install a prefabricated vehicle pit. The original scope was to install the pit with in situ reinforced concrete. However, the client, who worked with Premier Pits before installing road vehicle inspection pits, discussed with the end user the benefits of prefabrication off site. • The Problem – The client was faced with a challenging below ground structure. They highlighted the railway inspection pit as high risk on their risk register. It was on their critical path and therefore any delay on site would impact the end date. There was also a tolerance in the specification of +-5mm which they were unsure they could construct with in situ concrete. Not only this but they faced a skill shortage of subcontractors who had the ability to construct this type of below ground structure in an on-site environment. • Solution – To mitigate the risk, they approached Premier Pits to investigate a prefabricated off-site approach. Premier Pits collaborated with Buckingham Group and gave them a product with was commercially competitive with in-situ poured concrete short term as well as being a far superior product long term due to it being watertight, maintainable, cleaner and safer to use. It was also installed in two weeks reducing their anticipated programme time by over six weeks. The product is also fully painted and has LED lights making this an excellent working facility for their engineers. • Outcome – A satisfied main contractor and end user to have this facility, with cost, quality and time certainty during the build.

• Testimonial – ‘We have worked with Premier Pits on several road vehicle maintenance pit projects and are therefore fully aware of all the benefits of prefabricated pits built off-site, this method of construction saved us considerable time on site and leaves the client with a far superior end product.’ Nigel Graveson, Project Director for Buckingham Group Heathrow Terminal 5 • Specification – Two 54 metre pits manufactured from pre-formed mild steel, fitted with safety lights and antislip flooring with a durable paint finish. • The Project – To install prefabricated steel maintenance pits for the passenger transfer system at Heathrow’s Terminal 5. • The Problem – The pits had to be installed twelve metres below ground level without interfering with other ongoing construction work. Also, the pits had to allow for free access along the length of the pit when in day to day use. • Solution – Due to restricted site access, the pits had to be designed in eight metre sections prior to manufacture at Premier Pits’ factory in Spalding. They were then delivered by road direct to site. On arrival, the sections were

Page 172 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

offloaded and lowered by crane in one movement through the terminal roof, into position twelve metres below ground level. Here they were bolted together to form 54-metre-long watertight pits. The problem of continuous access was answered by designing supports that only projected halfway across the width of the pits. • Outcome – Both pits were installed within ten working days during which there was minimum disruption to other construction work. The pits are now operational and are playing a significant part in improving maintenance efficiency and staff working conditions.

Bringing depot safety into the 21st century When future generations look back at the 21st century, they will see a time of exponential growth, of technological advances, of environmental progress and even the changing landscape of the British railway system

rom steam to electric, gas lamps to signals and women in bikinis to fully-fledged safety campaigns, how is depot safety being brought into the 21 century? The likelihood is that the first thing that sprung to mind is an 1800s steam train instead of the electric models you see on the tracks today. Whilst the change in aesthetic is recognised there are many underlying factors that are responsible for revolutionising Britain’s railways. Developments in engineering, awareness, and training have drastically improved the safety for staff and passengers. As Britain holds the title for the safest railways in Europe, it’s not surprising that our tracks rely on up to date infrastructure to function. Whilst one may assume that the largest advances were made during the appointment of the British Railways Board in 1963, it wasn’t until 2002 that Victorian engineering was cast aside. In 2002 the Telegraph confirmed that Victorian Oil Lamps were still being used on Britain’s railways. The lamps which were still being lit by hand were used to light trackside signals across Britain, using technology that dated back to 1830. Improving infrastructure is something

that has been well documented throughout depot history, one of the most groundbreaking being Depot Personnel Protection System (DPPS). The DPPS used across the UK, incorporates the use of intelligent distributed control and communication technology. The system which eliminates the risk of single-point failure by providing increased system resilience has played its part in reducing delayed and cancelled journeys since the turn of the millennia. Prior to the widespread introduction of DPPS, switch failures cost Network Rail more than £120 million-a-year and account for more than 3,800,000 minutes (63,300 hours) of delays. Another advance preventing delays is the Tie-Fen Lock Depot Control System. The innovative solution assists depot operators by reducing their workload and increasing safety, allowing them to set multiple routes within the depot in just a few seconds to optimise the operation of the depot. A simple yet vital piece of technology that has changed depot operation for the better is Front and Rear Facing CCTV (FRFCCTV). Whilst in 2020 CCTV would not be considered revolutionary by any means, the implementation of FRFCCTV is helping

Page 174 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

to reduce risk in depots. One of the greatest priorities of the British Railway Boards has been raising the standard of safety and health. In the 19th century, the railway company’s safety concerns were limited to its passengers. Whilst companies felt a responsibility to cautioning its passengers their workers were often responsible for their personal safety – an unimaginable concept in Britain today. A shift in the attitudes of safety and health came when the Health and Safety Executive recognised that the ALARP principle has been overtaken by the specific requirements of the Technical Standards for Interoperability (TSIs). Roger Kemp a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Technical and Safety Director in ALSTOM Transport UK, explains: ‘This advice represents a major change to the railway safety regime and moves the train building industry closer to the motor vehicle industry, where compliance with European safety standards is deemed adequate and where manufacturers are not required to demonstrate that their products have reduced risks to a level ‘as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP)’.’ This progression led to a new way of

Depots & fleet maintenance

the way professionals and business leaders started to perceive safety and health, a far cry from the stereotypical imagery of hard hats and steel cap boots. Awareness surrounding occupational illness has been paramount to raising the standards of education within the workplace, and they are not always visible. Railroad workers have an elevated risk of occupational exposure to asbestos due to the presence of the material in ageing railcars and tracks. When working with or coming into contact with these materials, workers are put at risk of developing asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma. Recent research from the HSE has estimated there are around 13,500 new cases of cancer caused by work every year and over 8,000 deaths, over half of which are due to past exposures to asbestos: making the protection of railway workers imperative. The No Time to Lose Campaign which was launched in 2014 by the Institution of Safety and Health acted as an international flagship for raising awareness and campaigning for Occupational Cancer. The campaign, now in its sixth year has been such a success that its research has been presented at UN agencies around the world and is set to launch in West Africa this year. Campaigns like this ensure that employees, as well as business leaders, are aware of the causes of occupational cancer, and what can be done to prevent risks that claim the lives of 742,000 lives a year – just by going to work. The HSE, who are big supporters of the campaign said: ‘We are actively supporting the ‘No Time to Lose’ campaign to raise awareness of carcinogenic exposure issues

and help businesses take action. Prevention really is better than a cure and health needs to be managed like safety.’ However asbestos and silica are not the only risks that have come to the attention of organisations. The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) point out that the cause of accidents in depots today is fatigue, signals passed at danger, and management of change. When asked to look back over the past one hundred years, Adrian Ling, the ORR’s longest-serving inspector, stated: ‘The HSE

must take a lot of the credit for raising the profile of health and safety generally (and it’s disappointing that health and safety has got a bad name because of risk aversion and misrepresentation) but I think that a lot of the improvement has been brought about by the activities of HMRI by nagging the industry to keep health and safety at the top of the agenda.’ Adrian believes there have been some significant improvements in passenger safety brought about by changes in legislation as a result of disasters, but the improvement in staff safety has been mainly brought about by a change in culture. A culture that has begun to recognise the importance of mental health as on par with the seriousness of worker safety. A major factor of bringing depot safety into the 21st century has been cultivating a healthy working environment, in all its forms. The rate of suicide in the rail workforce is 1.6 times higher than the UK average, with over 60 per cent of workers having experienced mental health according to statistics to the Office of Rail and Road. In a move to embrace this way of thinking the Samaritans have united Britain’s railway by bringing the second together in a campaign that is set to redefine the perceptions of mental health in the industry: The Million Hour Challenge. Over the next five years The Million Hour Challenge will help prevent suicide within the industry, through volunteering with the Samaritans, raising awareness as well as creating fundraising opportunities. Aimee Skelly-Burgess a committee member of the IOSH Railway Group said: ‘Suicide prevention is high on the agenda for the rail industry. It is so important we continue to raise the profile of mental health and encourage everyone to feel confident to have the conversation. Just reaching out and asking how someone is doing (a stranger or a colleague) can make all the difference.’ The five-year campaign builds upon the existing rail industry suicide prevention programme which was founded in 2010. The new changes brought in by the One Million Hour project have meant that 19,000 depot staff have received training by the Samaritans including prevention and support courses. Collaboratively, advances in engineering, ground-breaking research in occupational cancer, and cultivating an open platform for mental health reform, have started to bring innovative change to the industry: for what we hope is the beginning of bringing depot safety into the 21st century.

Depots & fleet maintenance

Depot control made easy As in any depot, yard or indeed maintenance facility, it is essential that trains depart on schedule

here are several activities that are undertaken before a train returns into service each day including cleaning, re-watering, re-fuelling, CET servicing and small repairs. Therefore, Depot Operators require a simple, easy-to-use Rolling Stock Signalling Control System which provides them with a realtime overview of all train movements within a maintenance depot. Depot Operators have a busy workload involving setting routes, entering train describer codes and communicating with Train Drivers. They also need to be able to communicate with the production teams, adjacent mainline signalling control centres, operations staff as well as contractors working on site. All these activities and actions require to be automatically recorded for incorporation within daily reports and entry into the train register. Fenix Signalling Limited is the sole provider of the Tie-FenLock Depot Train Control System (TF-DTCS), which comprises of a Signalling System using Computer Based Interlocking, Trailable Point Machines, Axle Counters, Signals, and depending on the type of system specified, Point Indicators. The Tie-FenLock system is in use at over 1,000 locations throughout Europe. In the UK the systems have been in use for over twenty years at both Rolling Stock Maintenance Depots, such as Morden, Golders Green, Central Rivers and Banbury, as well as ports, harbours and steelworks, such as Immingham and Scunthorpe. Fenix is currently working collaboratively with a variety of clients delivering solutions at Rolling Stock Maintenance Depots and

Rail Freight Facilities throughout the UK. The principle benefits of a TF-DTCS system include: • the use of innovative, ‘four-foot’ mounted trailable point machines, currently in use on both Network Rail and private railway infrastructure in the UK. These machines are SIL-4 accredited, are highly resilient and can operate in the harshest of environmental conditions. They have been proven to operate within a temperature range of minus 40 to plus 85 degrees Celsius. They have also been proven to work whilst submerged in water up to one metre deep. As they do not contain any hydraulic oil they are ideal for use in areas that are located near to environmentally sensitive receptors such as watercourses, wildlife sanctuaries, Sites of Special Scientific

the UK. It also topped the Sustainable Construction category at National Rail’s Western Region Sustainability Awards in 2017. Polyfibre-reinforced concrete was used in place of traditional steel reinforcement for construction of load bearing concrete structures. This innovation resulted in a reduction of 42 tonnes of reinforcing steel going to site and reduction of embodied carbon by 18,000kg CO2 equivalent. Sustainability Sustainable solutions have a positive effect on the environment, economy, and people. These ‘triple bottom line’ benefits can have greatest impact through major infrastructure projects, but any effective energy partner must develop and preserve objectives which: • Protect and improve the natural environment while reducing carbon emissions. • Invest in local economies and communities. • Employ locally during construction and ongoing operations. • Deliver the work safely for communities and employees. • Enable the future by designing systems that stand the test of time. UK Power Networks Services looks for every opportunity to make a positive sustainable impact for its clients. It is currently delivering energy cost reductions to clients through improving the efficiency of their assets, by co-locating solar PV with substations. Recently, the first electric

vehicles and charge points have also been introduced into its fleet to improve air quality for future generations. These have been introduced at its Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted Airport depots, and electric vehicle charge points at its London City Airport depot. Diversity and inclusion Embracing diversity and inclusion as a strategic imperative is critical for any organisation that strives for high performance. Supporting diversity and promoting inclusion within workplaces is about valuing the individual and what they bring to their role. Fostering an environment where everyone feels able to participate and achieve their potential enables organisations to effectively increase their employee engagement and realise an increase in productivity. UK Power Networks Services’ ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusiveness is demonstrated by its National Equality Standard accreditation. It is one of only a small number of UK companies to achieve this benchmarked standard for creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. In 2019, it was also named in ‘The Sunday Times 25 Best Big Companies To Work For’ list.

A century of knowledge Delivering power to electric trains requires quality components within the OLE that will perform without failure for decades. When only the best will do, why take any chances?

rthur Flury is a Swiss supplier of precision-manufactured components for OLE systems and Flury products are used around the world. The company was established in 1920 and for over a century the Arthur Flury brand has become synonymous with innovative, high quality products which fulfil customer requirements. This combination of experience, combined with a modern factory and a contemporary management system, helps ensure the highest quality of products and services. Fast and simple to install, the product range is renowned for safety, reliability and longevity, all of which deliver a lower whole life cost than alternative offerings. Railway technology Regional and national railway organisations worldwide trust in reliable products. The range has been developed and produced at Arthur Flury’s ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 approved factory, which is situated just outside Solothurn, in Switzerland. All product is carefully built to order and is then shipped direct to site from the factory. The OLE material from Arthur Flury now is used in more than 40 countries, having undergone rigorous local product approval and homologation procedures. High-quality section insulators, phase breaks (neutral sections) and composite insulator rods Probably best known in the UK for supplying Network Rail and its supply chain with consistently high-quality section insulators and neutral sections, these products may be seen across all electrified routes; however, similar units are also installed on UK tram networks. The company’s worldwide exposure ensures that customer feedback influences the development of new products, which means that Arthur Flury provides an entire range of sectioning devices, from lower voltage DC operations (including trolley systems, tramways and suburban railways) up to 25kV AC, for heavy rail and high-speed railways. The HS25 section insulator is available in numerous configurations for differing system heights and with a choice of skid styles, to suit all locations. More recently the skidless HI25 section insulator has been introduced, which has been designed for operation at higher speeds and is suspended by spring droppers, to present even less

of a hard spot to the passing pantograph. The HI25 is quicker to install, requires less maintenance and is also available in various configurations, including one for use at contenary locations and others for use with AWAC systems. For the separation of different electrical phase supplies, or for the separation of different voltages, the company has become a specialist in developing custom-made neutral sections as well as automatic switched phase breaks. The NS25 is a neutral section which utilises skids, has twin insulator rods and is suspended by cable droppers. There are several hundred NSR25 neutral sections located around the UK network, which is a skidless unit, consisting of a single insulator rod and the unit is suspended by spring droppers, similar to the HI25 section insulator. Composite insulator rods for contact wire and catenary wires only leave the factory after each and every rod is tested, to ensure compliance with industry norms, which assures the customer of complete reliability. Complete range of suspension components Arthur Flury supplies conical couplers (sometimes called click-splices), forked collar sockets, flexible droppers, contact wire splices and specialist clamps, all of which will meet the exacting standards of any railway system. As an expert in the cold forming of CuNiSi alloy (copper, nickel and silicone), Flury’s products are smaller, lower in weight and of higher tensile strength than alternative materials/processes and these criteria are vital when considering the design of any OLE system. Conical couplers, forked collar sockets and clamps are designed to ensure that the conductor will break before the Flury product can break. The TF5 dropper is fully compliant with EN50119 and is used extensively in the UK. Its clever thimble connection between the dropper wire and clamp provides for movement along almost any plane, which reduces the incidence of metal fatigue and thereby contributes to an extremely long life, with less requirement for costly maintenance or replacement. A comprehensive overhead contact line earthing programme Arthur Flury has a complete range of specialist products for the temporary

earthing of overhead contact lines during maintenance and repair. As a complementary product, a 25kV live line tester is also available, with full Network Rail product acceptance. Representation and support Reflecting the importance of the UK market to Flury’s global business, a one hundred per cent owned subsidiary was established ten years ago. Operating from offices in Milton Keynes, the Arthur Flury (UK) Ltd team is responsible for all aspects of sales and marketing and is available to offer help and advice for specifiers. UK Projects Arthur Flury products have been extensively incorporated into all of the major UK schemes in recent years, including: • Anglia Upgrades • Blackpool Trams • Crossrail Surface Works • Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvement Programme • East Coast Mainline Neutral Sections • Gospel Oak to Barking • Great Western Electrification Programme • Manchester Metro • Midland Mainline • North West Electrification • Sheffield Tram Train • Tyne & Wear Metro • West Coast Mainline Remodelling • West Midlands Metro. Global presence With another subsidiary company based in Italy, the global scope of Arthur Flury is extended by close partnerships with an extensive network of specialised sales agents, focussing on OLE components. Customers may find Flury equipment on display at numerous national exhibitions and, of course, there will be a strong presence at Innotrans in 2020.

A regular client is the Spencer Group, for whom OLE has produced design for a range of projects including modifications to ECML depots for the introduction of IEP trains. A current project is Stevenage Turnback. The increased traffic on the ECML resulted in insufficient capacity for Hertford Loop trains to run on the ECML. The project provides a single bidirectional line which allows Hertford Loop services to terminate at Stevenage without conflicting with the ECML. OLE Limited designed further examples of its innovative headspan to portal conversion. This provides a low cost solution to install a boom on existing headspan masts and foundations in order to provide mechanical independence and so eliminating the Achilles heel of headspan structures The conversion to a portal allows the OLE for each line to be mechanically independent from the OLE on other lines which leads to a huge increase in system reliability as

Station infrastructure and electrification Chris Walker, Electrical & Plant Engineer at Mott MacDonald, explores the issues facing major electrification projects

he world of electrification has gained some limelight in recent years with major electrification projects being commissioned. The miles and miles of steel and copper zigzagging through the country are certainly the main attraction, paving the way for new rolling stock and a betterquality railway for the public. However, a less obvious aspect is the effect on existing lineside infrastructure, including stations. The goal of introducing electrification on routes is an improvement to the public, but it also introduces a risk of harm when things go wrong. Behind the scenes of electrification is the safety aspect, specifically earthing and bonding. Very few will even notice its implementation, as the aim is to provide compliant earthing and bonding systems without disruption to the public and avoid disturbing station aesthetics. No two stations are the same, especially when you consider the surrounding environment, which presents a challenging design ethos. These challenges encourage the delivery of bespoke design packages for stations, that create not only compliant earthing and bonding designs, but designs that have safety at the forefront for both the public and authorised personnel. With the expansion of electrification throughout the UK, the role of station earthing and bonding within design deliverables has evolved. With passenger numbers on the rise and station owners cramming more technology onto the platforms to aid customer experience, the implication of de-wirements is now more prevalent than ever. Gone are the days of dark station platforms barely lit, platforms are now awash with neat lines of lighting and CCTV columns with dazzling displays of customer information service screens. These visually impressive assets now must be considered as part of the earthing and bonding design process. The need for bonding relies heavily on where assets are in relation to the overhead contact line zone, the zone in which a broken overhead contact line would not exceed. Before any design works can even be initiated, a detailed assessment of the station is needed. Identifying elements of the station which lie within the zone allows designers to establish a baseline of bonding required. The basic principle is to provide a common bonding approach, so that under fault conditions, faults would be cleared in the allowable time (i.e. 200 milliseconds).

Along with this, any dangerous rise in touch potentials which could lead to electric shock are required to remain under certain limits set by the various standards. To achieve this, assets identified as requiring bonding are all connected to the station main earth terminal via a network of cables subtly routed in cable containment to achieve the overall goal. Stations cannot be considered wholly autonomous, as some interface heavily with outside infrastructure. The overarching principle of bonding is to provide a safer environment; however, bonding can introduce risks which previously were never present. By bonding elements of the station, undesirable touch potentials can be transferred outside of the station boundary during fault conditions. This risk is particularly prevalent in areas such as station carparks where fencing and assets are shared. Earthing and bonding is not a simple ‘bond everything’ approach, but more a delicate balancing act of assessing risk and safety. The knock-on effect of bonding can be seen well beyond the platforms if not considered, so where do you draw the line? This can be the most difficult aspect faced by engineers during design works. If the risk cannot be eliminated, physical separation is sometimes the only option. This is widely

Page 186 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

achieved with the installation of nonconductive fence sections or structures made of glass reinforced plastic or similar approved products. In some cases, even coating structures with a specialist nonconductive paint layer. Not every station requiring remedial works has the luxury of all the ‘mod-cons’, with dated and sometimes sub-standard facilities. These stations cause a variety of issues around poor and dated infrastructure and in some cases listed structures. Workarounds must be considered for such situations, with solutions tailored for safety whilst also protecting the uniqueness of such structures. Aesthetics also pose a unique design problem; station operators are often dubious about having their surfaces ripped up for the sake of one or two cables, simply to be left with a less than appealing tarmac scar strew across all platforms. And who can blame them? The variety and challenges brought forth by stations provides an interesting spin on the traditional earthing and bonding systems. As more infrastructure is crammed into a smaller space and the outside world slowly encroaches ever closer to electrified Network Rail infrastructure, the role of earthing and bonding will continue to play a vital and more dominant role in design deliverables.

Fast forward to 2040 – Destination Decarbonisation Eli Rees-King, Marketing Director at the Rail Alliance, reports on the UK’s first rail decarbonisation event

n 17th September, the Rail Alliance and Birmingham Centre for Rail Research (BCRRE) delivered the UK’s first rail decarbonisation event at Quinton Rail Technology Centre (QRTC), a test and trial centre of excellence and fast becoming recognised for the concentration of green railway technologies being developed there. The subject of decarbonisation has never been more topical than it is now. However, this is not a new concept with many scientists and action groups campaigning for years and years for the world and government to wake up to the pending global catastrophe that now looms. Championing sustainability and decarbonisation is a major focus for Rail Alliance and BCRRE and recognising the urgent need for an industry platform where discussion and the sharing of knowledge and information could take place, Destination Decarbonisation was born. Setting the scene for decarbonisation in rail Greenhouse gas emissions in the UK will be cut to almost zero by 2050 under the terms of a new government plan to tackle climate change. However, according to leading rail experts in sustainability and rolling stock, Britain’s railways could remove diesel-only passenger trains from the network and make substantial progress towards decarbonising their operations by 2040. Destination Decarbonisation provided an excellent opportunity for delegates to meet and

hear from industry experts and leaders as well as to find out more about the practical solutions in the vibrant and dynamic expo area including real examples of working technology in the form of the HydroFLEX – the UK’s first hydrogen train launched three months ago at Rail Live, in addition to Vivarail’s battery train – a company leading the way with the first modern production battery train in the UK and continuing to make leaps and bounds in its development programme to improve battery technology for trains. An additional highlight for visitors was provided by Porterbrook with the Innovation Hub – a unique solution to showcasing the latest passenger focus products from over 25 suppliers, many of them UK SMEs. The event also drew the attention of several high profile visitors and speakers including Jeremy Hotchkiss, Deputy Director Rail Group, Department of Transport (DFT) and Mark Gaynor, Head of Railway and Planning, Rail Delivery Group (RDG). It was also notable that MP Lilian Greenwood – Member of Parliament for Nottingham South attended along with several other member of the Transport Select Committee, of which she also Chairs. Throughout the day expert speakers took to the microphone on the subject of decarbonisation. Jeremy Hotchkiss, Deputy Director, DFT, set the scene by drawing reference to climate change and the need to act now: ‘as in 30 years we will be taking as much carbon from the atmosphere as we emit. No sector is exempt from this

Page 188 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

challenge and rail can’t rest on its green laurels. People are making the choice to travel by rail and helping to reduce carbon emissions but there is more to be done.’ Mark Gaynor, Head of Railway and Planning, RDG, followed with an introduction to the strategy for decarbonising the railway saying that there are ‘benefits for customers of increased carbon zero journeys with a consequence being greater reliability as well as improved air quality’. He also commented on the government commitment to end diesel only trains by 2040 saying: ‘it took industry and officials a little by surprise, as rail is so much greener than other transport modes already.’ Following the theme from a strategic viewpoint, David Clarke, Director, Railway Industry Association said: ‘Once we work

out how to decarbonise today’s network, we need a strategy for growing the rail network too, because the biggest contribution we can make to decarbonisation is modal shift from other transport modes. Hydrogen today is not as good as electric, but it depends where it’s coming from – if by 2040 we are producing hydrogen at scale from renewables, then that is truly green. Electric is the only traction that can handle all train duty cycles, but hydrogen has some important use cases, and batteries will play a key role in powering short distances off the wires. ‘The map that Network Rail are drawing up will help signpost industry as to where to plan against. All intensively used passenger and freight routes should be electric. Hydrogen self-power on less intensively used routes. Battery storage for last mile and short unpowered route sections. The key challenge is freight. Hydrogen or batteries are going to need too much space to pull those kinds of loads.’ Which begs the question – just how will freight realistically tackle decarbonisation targets? We also heard from Giulia Lorenzini, Senior Partnerships and Grants Manager, RSSB, who presented on the two major programmes supporting innovation – Decarb and CLEAR and what the RSSB is doing to support the sector with funding opportunities and competitions as well as assisting with the Rail Industry Decarbonisation Taskforce final report to the Minister for Rail. For full details and to view the report please go to the RSSB website. An added insight was also expertly delivered by Mark Goldby, AEM Specialist, Midlands Engine/DIT into what the Midlands regional focus is around rail and in particular decarbonisation, and some of the ways in which companies can tap into the extensive opportunities in the region, from its rich skills base, to specialist facilities

and R&D not to mention connectivity and supply chain. Hearing the strategy was important, but equally important was learning more about the practical examples in place and the work being done right now to seriously address the decarbonisation challenges on the railway. Our expert speakers included: • David King, Engineering Director at Vivarail (Class 230: zero emission trains)

• Dr Pietro Tricoli, BCRRE (Power converters: the enabling technology for railway decarbonisation) • Jamie Young, Engineer, Steamology (Zero emission hydrogen steam turbine rail propulsion) • Leo Murray, Director of Innovation, Riding Sunbeams (First light: powering our railways with community solar https://www.ridingsunbeams.org/ reports) • Noel Dolphin, Director at Furrer + Frey (Battery charging for trains) • Stuart Hillmansen, HydroFLEX Project Lead and Senior Lecturer at University of Birmingham and Helen Simpson, Innovation and Projects Director at Porterbrook (HydroFLEX – the UK’s first hydrogen powered train). Alice Gillman, Head of Marketing, Vivarail said: ‘This was one of the best and most useful events we’ve attended this year.

Airborne 10RT is an absorption technology that has been designed to absorb total suspended particulate matter (TSPM) when introduced in to the atmosphere via an APPS Track Side PIRA (TSP) or an Airborne 10RT nozzle dust suppression system which have been specially designed and manufactured to ensure that the correct micron size and volume are delivered allowing the hydrophilic and hydrophobic tails within the Airborne 10RT to help remove particulate matter.

APPS UK Ltd are much more than a speciality dust suppression and odour control supplier, every day we help our customers tackle their toughest challenges. We undertake this by providing solutions

The Track Side PIRA has been specifically designed for the Rail Industry to deliver Airborne 10RT into the atmosphere. This will help absorb particulate matter generated from a multitude of operations from, ballast drops, tamping, DEEE, vehicle movement and general dust and odour related issues. The TSP is a self-contained mobile unit which will produce a 40 micron water droplet from the rotary atomiser and when infused with Airborne10RT will absorb total suspended particulate matter. The frame is constructed of mild steel which is situated on wheels along with 4 x lifting points for easy manoeuvrability around stations, platforms, track, rail trolleys and tunnels. The TSP is fitted with a self-contained water tank, generator, pump, control panels and a multifunctional 285 degrees rotary atomiser head and hydraulic arm with a height restriction of 2400mm and offering fantastic versatility for any operation.

Dust suppression for the rail industry by APPS Rail APPS Rail are becoming more established with their dust suppression and fully managed solutions for the rail industry, we have achieved a partnership and preferred supplier status with a number of contractors for rail renewals

he problems associated with ballast dust is long standing and commences from where the ballast is stockpiled at depot. Upon loading onto trains, travelling to a location where track is being replaced, unloading the new ballast after the old has been dug up and reloaded onto the train, the dust problem is continuous during every operation. Then, following replacement of track and completion of works, the first train that travels through that area picks up the trackside dust and forces it further up the track and out of the tunnels towards the platforms. The dust issue is merely moved from one area to another. With the successful delivery of dust suppression on a number of major projects and contacts, APPS UK were asked to offer an alternative solutions to water saturation systems that use large amounts of water and fail to remove the finer atmosphere particulate so the TSP and Plain Line were designed and manufactured to deliver the Airborne10RT absorption technology for removing fine ballast dust. Track Side Pira (TSP) Track Side Pira (TSP) are dust suppression mobile units that have been designed to be versatile in use for the rail industry whether it being on the platform or along the track. The TSP with deliver the correct volume of water droplets in micron form in to the atmosphere via a centrifugal force fan infused with Airborne10RT to absorb atmospheric pollutants which include ballast dust, DEEEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and any other airborne particulate. Batteries The TSP units have been modified to house battery packs helping to reduce the environmental impact. Each battery will run between two-and-a-half to three hours before the battery requires changing but this may vary depend up on the conditions. Plain Line Nozzle system The Plain Line Nozzle system will cover up to 400 metres and will be zoned for the preservation of water, the operational unit comes complete with control panels, power and pre-mixed Airborne 10RT absorption technology, the unit can be located in Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020 Page 191

sidings, level crossing and can also be split to run in either direction. Airborne 10RT pre-mixed absorption technology is introduced in to the atmosphere via Stainless Steel Nozzles that are located on extension poles and will run down the length of track, these are positioned between five and six metre increments. The nozzles can be located on either side of the track to suit the operation. Once the nozzles are in situ they can be programmed to run in conjunction with the ballast drop to help save on water and unnecessary nozzle running times.

The nozzles Each Stainless Steel Nozzle is balanced to deliver five litres of water per hour in 40 micron droplets. The Nozzles have been designed to dispense 2.8 million 40 microns per litre with a total delivery of 14 million 40 microns per nozzle per hour per five litres, once infused with Airborne10RT, the non-selective absorption technology will offer in theory a combined atmospheric pollutant absorption capacity of up to 70 billion per nozzle. Airborne 10RT is an absorption technology that has been designed to absorb total suspended particulate matter (TSPM) when introduced in to the atmosphere via an APPS Track Side PIRA (TSP) or an Airborne10RT Nozzle dust suppression system. These systems have been specifically designed and manufactured to ensure that the correct

Innovative material solutions for rail While rail remains a core business focus, TRB Lightweight Structures has diversified into other markets, such as hybrid and electric vehicles, aerospace and medical devices, developing lighter, more environmentally friendly materials that are now finding applications in rolling stock

RB Lightweight Structures Ltd. (TRB), based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, is a leading tier one manufacturing and engineering company, which provides customers with a complete concept to delivery service using in-house production, engineering and laboratory testing facilities. TRB develops, tests and validates innovative lightweight materials solutions using metal and composite materials. As needed, it supplies both components and fully assembled, ready to install units to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). TRB, which is now in The Sunday Times Fast Track Top 100 companies, has been helping train manufacturers and operators for more than 60 years. The company has gained an established reputation as an IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) approved supplier of engineered parts and complete systems to leading train builders worldwide including Hitachi, Siemens and Bombardier. As well as IRIS, TRB is DIN 6701 certified and a RISQS registered and approved GB rail supplier. TRB designs and manufactures a wide range of interior and exterior components, for both new build and refurbished rolling stock, such as floors, partitions, galleys and storage units, passenger doors and emergency detrainment door systems. The company has supplied and installed components for major UK rail projects such as Hitachi’s Class 800/801 high-speed train, the London Victoria Line and the UK West Coast Main Line. In more recent years, TRB has diversified into other market sectors, such as hybrid and electric vehicles, aerospace and medical devices, as well as focusing on developing new lightweight products based on more environmentally friendly materials that are now being used in the rail sector.

ethos of the leadership team. In 2018, TRB won an industry award for developing a new lightweight, sustainable, carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) sandwich panel design biocomposite rail carriage door leaf; as well as using a bio-resin for the prepreg, the foam core was produced from one hundred per cent recycled plastic packaging. The innovative biocomposite door helps to reduce train energy consumption, being 35 per cent lighter than an equivalent aluminium door, with no cost premium for switching to a more environmentally friendly material. For the rail sector, TRB’s design and materials processing capabilities now include alternative lightweight composite materials that comply with the latest and most stringent fire, smoke and toxicity guidelines detailed in EN 45545. These materials include phenolic SMC (sheet moulding compounds), modified epoxy glass prepreg, fire retardant foam cores, carbon/phenolic prepreg, and select thermoplastic materials. New DIN bonding certification TRB is now qualified to DIN 6701 (Parts 1 to 4) A1 for the bonding of safety critical rail vehicle parts in applications where there is a risk of endangering passengers due to part failure in use. Attaining the top level (A1) approval enables TRB’s main production facility in Huntingdon to bond any product required in a rail vehicle under any of the four DIN 6701 A1-3 and Z type classifications. Safety critical products needing A1 approval that are manufactured and supplied by TRB include emergency detrainment door systems and passenger exit doors. Switching to bonding where possible has proved beneficial by further reducing weight by eliminating fixings, improving assembly productivity and reducing overall production costs.

New sustainable materials and capabilities Since the signing of the Paris Agreement on climate change back in 2016 to reduce CO2 emissions there have been numerous mergers, collaborations and major capital investments by the transport industry globally to develop new hybrid and all-electric cars, buses, trams and trains. Transport companies have needed to rapidly rethink, redesign and retool in response to tighter environmental legislation and growing socio-economic pressures globally for cleaner, less air polluting passenger cars, vans, lorries and public transport. Offering OEMs alternative low weight solutions to reduce emissions based on sustainable materials is the ultimate strategic goal for TRB and central to the business Page 194 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

The vessel measures 1.5m x 3.0 metres and is designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of PD 5500 with a design pressure capability of 6 Bar @ 250°C

Aerospace quality composites for rail The use of lightweight advanced composites by OEMs in the aerospace and defence sectors has delivered major end use performance improvements and reduced energy consumption. Some years ago, key investments were made by TRB to meet the exacting needs of the aerospace and defence market. For manufacturing aerospaceapproved prepreg composite components, a new 4,000 sq. ft clean room, built to ISO 14644 standards, was added to the Huntingdon factory, along with an autoclave (three metres long by 1.5 metres wide) heated pressure vessel. Honeycomb prepreg composite laminates, produced using an autoclave, are extensively used for aircraft interior applications such as sidewalls, ceiling and floor panels, galleys, toilets and partition walls, as well as a number of exterior parts. Like aerospace, the rail industry can also take advantage of the lifecycle cost benefits of using advanced technology composite materials in next generation high-performance trains, which need to be lighter, faster, more energy-efficient and cheaper to maintain. Weight and cost saving rail projects TRB works in partnership with rail customers to eliminate weight in new designs, to reduce maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) costs and to improve safety. Past projects have included developing a new lightweight composite antenna cover for Alstom Transport and reverse engineering a stiffer and lighter coupler hatch for the West Coast Pendolino. During 2019, TRB has been working in collaboration with CAF on the production of 17 new trains for West Midlands Railway. Each four-car train is designed to operate as a stand-alone vehicle, or can be coupled with additional units to increase passenger capacity. CAF was looking for a partner within the UK, and approached TRB due to its extensive history and expertise in the manufacture of high quality rail interiors using composite

Fleet Manufacture & Rolling Stock materials. TRB was appointed for the design and production of new gangway doors, used to section the cab off from passengers in driving mode, or used to create additional corridor space to allow passengers to move between trains when they are coupled. TRB has provided CAF with a door design which meets all the cost, weight and regulatory specifications. The 136 carriage doors needed – four per cab and overall eight per train – will have an aluminium external skin with an aluminium honeycomb core, making them rigid, strong and lightweight. The TRB door design meets GM/RT 2100 Rev 5 regulations, and has been impact tested to BS EN15152 standards to ensure the door meets the stringent safety requirements of the UK rail sector. Novel carriage table design with added safety Another recent TRB product innovation was a collaborative project carried out with engineering and manufacturing solutions partner company Seisenbacher, which is IRIS Rev 02 V2.3 EN 2018 and ISO 9001 EN2-018 accredited, as well as having other DIN and EN railway vehicle accreditations for metal welding and bonding. The joint project team developed a novel composite table for passenger carriages which meets the GM/RT 2100 and APTA. The new lightweight composite table included the critical safety features of a unique

cantilever design fixing system developed by the Seisenbacher’s engineering team; this innovative cantilever system absorbs impact energy and reduces translation movement in the unlikely event of a crash. The passenger carriage table project combined TRB’s lightweight materials expertise, used to design and manufacture the tabletop, with Seisenbacher’s engineering and production team’s proven capabilities in designing, testing and supplying high performance interior component fixture systems for rolling stock. Ready for Future Rail Needs TRB has made major strategic investments to grow its capabilities, while also running ongoing continuous improvement programmes across the business to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and raise quality even higher. Over the last four years, the business has expanded by approximately ten per cent annually, adding around 4,000 square feet per annum of new factory space. Looking forwards, the TRB management team plans to continue making strategic investments and partnerships with specialist technology providers which complement TRB’s capabilities. Richard Holland, Managing Director of TRB explains: ‘We will continue to invest in product innovations and technologies to meet rail and other transport market needs, combining in-house engineering and

production capabilities with using strategic business partners who can bring innovative, added value technologies, improving our abilities to offer customers end to end solutions, including more environmentally friendly materials.’ The clear aim is for TRB to continue to grow by focusing on providing its customers with complete solutions that meet the evolving needs of the rail sector and the other transportation markets in response to growing socio-economic pressure globally for greener, more sustainable products.

Bearings and condition monitoring for rail vehicle axleboxes The Schaeffler Group portfolio includes high-precision components and systems for engine, transmission, and chassis applications, as well as rolling and plain bearing solutions for a large number of industrial applications

he Schaeffler Group, is a leading global supplier to the automotive and industrial sectors, with innovative and sustainable technologies for electric mobility, digitalisation, and Industry 4.0. The technology company has a turnover in excess of €14 billion (£12 billion) with around 89,000 employees, Schaeffler is one of the world’s largest family companies with approximately 170 locations in over 50 countries. Schaeffler has more than one hundred years’ experience in the rail industry, with applications including axlebox bearings and housings; bearings and components for traction motors and gearboxes; railcar connectors; tilting technology; and bearings for train doors. Axlebox bearings ensure safety, reliability and a long operating life Manufacturers of rail vehicles, as well as rail operators and passengers, all expect the highest level of reliability and operational safety in every type of rail vehicle – from trams to high-speed passenger trains. In light rail vehicles, for example, the focus is on low-floor designs and multiple-section designs. The running gear, bogies and components must therefore be extremely compact and reliable, as these systems are safety-critical. Schaeffler offers a wide range of rolling bearings for axleboxes that meet all of these demanding requirements. Axlebox bearings are subject to extreme loads at the interface between the wheelsets and the bogie frame and so must meet various technical requirements. If the rolling bearing components are tested according to EN 12080, including ultrasonic testing of the inner and outer rings rings, they comply with the highest quality class and are labelled with ‘Class 1’. At Schaeffler, compliance with EN 12082 is verified on special axlebox bearing test rigs.

cylindrical roller bearings support the normal axial loads and have a modified linear contact between the rollers and the raceway to prevent edge stresses. Cylindrical roller bearings in axlebox bearings are principally used in two main configurations: • Two single-row cylindrical roller bearings as a bearing set. • One double-row cylindrical roller bearing as a ready-to-mount unit. Double-row cylindrical roller bearing units have an integrated seal, are greased and delivered ready to mount. The dimensioning is normally based on a calculated operating life of more than three million kilometres (1.8 million miles). Spherical roller bearings Spherical roller bearings are used in axlebox bearings for freight vehicles, locomotives

and other rail vehicles. Schaeffler provides spherical roller bearings for wheelsets with fixed inner ring flange and solid brass or sheet steel cages, which means the bearings can withstand extremely harsh conditions. They contain two rows of symmetrical spherical rollers that freely adjust

Cylindrical roller bearings and bearing units For decades, cylindrical roller bearings have stood the test of time in supporting the wheelsets of all types of rail vehicle. The bearings are particularly suitable for supporting high radial loads and normally have special internal designs and polyamide cages.

themselves in the concave raceway. Tapered roller bearings and TAROL units Tapered roller bearings are used in the same way as cylindrical roller bearings in the axlebox bearing supports of all types of rail vehicles: • Two single-row tapered roller bearings as a bearing set. • One double-row tapered roller bearing as a ready-to-mount unit (TAROL unit). Ready-to-mount TAROL units (Tapered Roller Bearing Unit) have an integrated seal, are greased and the clearance is adjusted during assembly. TAROL units are available in either metric or imperial dimensions and are supplied with all the necessary retaining elements and fittings. They are mounted on the axle journal using a hydraulic press. Schaeffler also provides customer-specific components, spare parts and housing adapters on request. Axlebox bearing housing and adapter The housing, which connects the bogie frame to the wheelset, must safely transfer loads. The design depends on how the forces are introduced into the housing. The correct shape ensures optimum distribution of pressure in the rolling bearing so that the

specific load is reduced and stress peaks in the load-bearing contact surfaces are avoided. The design of the housing is individually adapted to the adjacent construction. The optimum design is ensured by means of complex tests that are supported by FEM calculations. The finite element method describes not only complex geometries but also the complex progression of the force flow in the housing as realistically as possible. Axlebox bearing housings and adapters can be supplied made from spheroidal graphite cast iron, cast steel or cast light metal. Schaeffler and Siemens Mobility develop intelligent axlebox generator Customers who wish to digitally monitor their freight train fleets can do so in an easy, efficient manner by using a solution developed by Schaeffler and Siemens Mobility. The ‘Intelligent axlebox generator’ innovation project combines the expertise of both companies in the fields of axlebox generators (Schaeffler) and telematic systems (Siemens Mobility), resulting in a digital system for improving transparency and increasing efficiency in rail freight transport. With a generator integrated into the axlebox bearing housing cover, Schaeffler provides an independent power supply for freight cars. Siemens Mobility uses this independent power supply for its telematics units, which record information about the train during operation and make the data immediately available via a mobile network.

Independent power supply for telematics units Freight cars typically do not have their own electrical power supply. Until now, electrical systems in freight cars have primarily been supplied with power from batteries. Available energy is therefore limited from the outset, which also limits the systems’ functionality. With its axlebox generator, Schaeffler is presenting an independent power supply that is flange-mounted to the wheelset to provide an alternative to the supply of power from the locomotive or batteries. The performance of the electronic system is therefore available without restriction. The wear-free generator supplies one watt of power starting from approximately 40 kph (25 mph). The combination of a continuous supply of power and the Controlguide CTmobile telematic system from Siemens Mobility enables additional added-value services such as condition-based monitoring and immediate data availability. The system is ‘wireless’ and can easily be retrofitted or replaced. For customers, converting to an “intelligent” axlebox generator means that the wheelset’s standard components – such as the housing, bearing, and axle journals – remain unchanged. Only the housing cover and the axle cover need to be replaced. In addition, the system is maintenance-free. Sensors for monitoring the wheelset regarding temperature, vibration, wear, and flat spots on the wheels can optionally be integrated and are currently being developed. Information about the train in real time Siemens Mobility’s scope of delivery includes a circuit board integrated into the axlebox bearing housing cover and the CTmobile telematics box installed on the freight car, which records the data and transmits this via a mobile network. Moreover, different sensors for parameters such as door openings, load, and temperatures can be integrated into the system.

Franchising

Franchising is dead: long live... er... franchising? Chris Cheek considers the future of passenger rail operation in the wake of the statement by the leader of the Government’s review of the railways, Keith Williams, that rail franchising needs drastic change and the ending of the Northern franchise

ast year marked the 25th anniversary of our publication of the first edition of Rail Industry Monitor, establishing a long tradition of monitoring and commenting on the outcome of rail privatisation. It is interesting to set the current debate over the future of passenger rail services in the context of what was going on then. It is perhaps worth recalling what objectives John Major’s Government was trying to achieve when it embarked on the process in 1993. 20 years ago, in the editorial to the 1999 edition of our publication, I suggested that there had been a number of key objectives, being: • Improved management focus – including local investment decisions, better industrial relations and improved marketing • A stable funding regime – the franchise agreements locked the Treasury into a more stable funding regime for the railways than it had known since nationalisation • Improved efficiency – breaking down an old-fashioned public sector bureaucracy to bring better, faster decision-making • Lower costs – previous privatisations resulted in substantial reductions in unit costs of production • Transfer of risk – in return for a stable funding regime, almost all revenue risk was transferred to the private sector • Better value for money – the combination of greater efficiency, lower cost and risk transfer should mean better value for taxpayers’ money in the long term • Tighter regulatory regime – transfer to the private sector would allow the railways to be more tightly and transparently regulated. This included safety, service specifications, and the sanction of fines or loss of franchise for quality failures. None of these sanctions had ever applied to BR, since there had been no alternative provider • Higher investment – with the industry’s investment needs judged on a business case basis, rather than limited by the overriding needs of Government fiscal policy • Improved quality – greater efficiency and higher investment would lead to the provision of better quality

services, especially with train operators incentivised to improve passenger numbers. 25 years on, many of those objectives seem just as sensible as they did then: many have been delivered to a greater or lesser extent – though, with the benefit of hindsight, I think it would be fair to say that there were three things that the regime did not allow for: 1. The unprecedented and largely unforeseen growth in demand, which has seen rail patronage more than double since 2. The costs of devising and implementing the sort of safety regime that the network quite clearly needed – this had been identified by inquiries into crashes at Clapham Junction and Purley in the run-up to privatisation and were highlighted by Southall, Ladbroke Grove and Potters Bar in the years following. 3. The difficulty in changing the industry’s culture and its long history of adversarial industrial relations. I would argue that it was the combination of these three that derailed the attempt to attract private sector funding into infrastructure investment. This has been the real problem, and the principal cause of the continued cost of the industry to the public purse. Thanks to cross-subsidy between franchises, railway operations have been self-financing for a number of years – an outcome which few could foresee back in 1993 and 1994.

Page 204 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

The Labour Government elected in 1997 pursued a more interventionist approach. In fairly short order, Messrs Prescott, Byers and Darling made three sets of changes to the railway: the creation of the Strategic Rail Authority, followed three years later by the effective re-nationalisation of Railtrack and then within five years of its foundation the abolition of the SRA and its replacement by ‘direct rule’ (aka micro-management) from Whitehall via the Department for Transport. Alistair Darling’s concept of the Government providing a High Level Output Specification for the next five years, which the Regulator and Network Rail would then price seemed to answer many of the strategic issues which previous Governments had dodged or failed to answer – and that element of the structure has now survived for 15 years – though it has been brought into some disrepute by Network Rail’s seeming inability to deliver projects on time and on budget – though, as Crossrail and other schemes are proving, this problem is not unique to that company, or indeed to the UK. So, if Williams is going to replace or radically reform franchising, what has a new system got to do?

I would argue that it was the combination of these three that derailed the attempt to attract private sector funding into infrastructure investment. This has been the real problem, and the principal cause of the continued cost of the industry to the public purse. Thanks to cross-subsidy between franchises, railway operations have been self-financing for a number of years – an outcome which few could foresee back in 1993 and 1994

Franchising

I do not believe that there is a single ‘one size fits all’ model for railway operation. Talk of ‘returning’ to a single integrated national network is completely misplaced. Even under a fully public sector model, management was always devolved to regions and divisions I would give four broad answers: maintain private sector involvement; enhance competition and provide effective incentives for downward pressure on operating costs and to deliver continued long-term investment. It follows from that there must continue to be strong, genuinely independent regulation (if for no other reason than to keep the Treasury’s nose to the grindstone). It also seems to me likely that the Treasury’s price for maintaining a

contractual structure for funding the industry will be a continued transfer of risk to the private sector. Some provision for time-limited contracts will continue to be needed, I suspect, even if timescales are longer with specified break points. All that should be achievable at reasonable cost but would need to allow for much greater flexibility in risk-sharing than DfT has been willing to show in the past. This seems to argue for the creation once more of an arms-length body to organise and regulate passenger operators – and for an approach which allows different regimes for different types of service: competition for paths on profitable InterCity routes, for example, as advocated last year by the Competition and Markets Authority. At the same time, TfL-style concessions might be let for urban operations that will always require public subsidy (and might benefit from light rail or tram/train conversion). There should be room, too, for experimentation with micro-franchises and other innovative approaches to the operation of rural routes and self-contained lines. We need to remember that a strong element of the rail market is very local, and that – as Community Rail Partnerships have shown – strong brands can be created which deliver a wide range of benefits. Big is not

necessarily beautiful: in light rail over the last 20 years, we have seen how fleets of 25 to 30 vehicles can deliver local services, be cost-effective and make a powerful contribution to their local communities. I do not believe that there is a single ‘one size fits all’ model for railway operation. Talk of ‘returning’ to a single integrated national network is completely misplaced. Even under a fully public sector model, management was always devolved to regions and divisions. Eventually, British Rail came to recognise the benefits of stronger devolution into the local profit centres that eventually formed the framework for the original train operating companies. That was even achieved whilst giving the profit centres control of their own infrastructure as well. Whatever solution Keith Williams offers, the nine issues I flagged up in 1999 remain at the heart of the debate about the future of our railways. There are severe political, regulatory and financial constraints, and in promising change, he needs to beware of overpromising. Doing nothing may not be an option, but doing something just to please politicians – especially ones with as little credibility as Mr Grayling – is even more dangerous.

Freight

Freight update: the good news edition Alex Veitch, Head of Multimodal Policy, FTA reports on the good news for the UK’s freight industry

ith the business community watching with apprehension over the possibility of a No Deal Brexit, this uncertainty has led, in many ways, to a ‘cruel summer’ (to steal a phrase from those well-known freight experts Bananarama!). With that in mind, I am delighted to be able to lift the mood by bringing you some positive news for the UK rail freight business.

the airport by rail. The existing rail line that serves the Total Fuel Depot would be diverted and realigned in an east-west direction alongside the construction railhead to ensure that aviation fuel supply is maintained to the expanded airport. Overall, it is fantastic to see a major strategic building project make such good use of multimodal freight options, and to be so clear about the environmental and social benefits of using rail freight.

Heathrow expansion is great for freight This summer Heathrow Limited is consulting on the details of its expansion plans, before submitting a formal planning application later this year. FTA is a staunch supporter of the third runway proposal; we are taking a close look at its plans for surface access, as well as holding discussions with our members to help ensure the least disruption and best use of multimodal options. Heathrow’s plans are great news for rail freight. At a strategic level, the team at Heathrow Limited has committed to the ‘maximisation of rail freight for the delivery of materials’. The details outline a proposed new railhead which will be developed for the import of construction materials, such as bulk materials, aggregates and containerised goods. Within the consultation paper, Heathrow Limited is clear about the benefits of using rail during construction to aid with the congestion associated with construction vehicles, as well as enhance safety for residents and users of the airport. Furthermore, in line with increasing environmental pressure, this scheme will also help to reduce carbon emissions and improve local air quality. The proposed location for the railhead is on the Colnbrook branch of the Great Western Main Line, immediately north of the proposed north-west runway, where it crosses the M25 into the Colne Valley. The daily number of freight trains is dictated by the number of train paths available in the national rail network and the capacity of the junction where the national network connects with the Colnbrook branch at West Drayton. However, capacity enhancement options are being considered to the line at West Drayton to allow access to the Colnbrook branch to/from the west (the branch is currently only accessible from the east). The railhead is likely to operate 24 hours a day in order to utilise available paths during the night-time hours when passenger services are much reduced. As well as construction, plans are in place to continue the delivery of fuel to

Direct Tilbury to Grangemouth rail route is open for business More good news comes from Forth Ports which, in partnership with Eddie Stobart and Direct Rail Services, is announcing a new weekend rail service linking the ports of Tilbury and Scotland’s largest port, Grangemouth. The new two-way rail service started on Friday 28th June and has been launched on the back of customer demand to open the rail link between the South of England with Central Scotland. The service uses the DRS state-of-theart locomotives and wagon fleet and has the capacity to travel with 36 containers. It will be managed by Eddie Stobart, working closely with both Forth Ports and DRS. Expected import cargoes include retail goods, food and drink, with the return journey from Grangemouth supporting Scotland’s export market including spirits, chemicals and fresh food including potatoes. Felixstowe capacity ready to roll this autumn A long-anticipated rail freight upgrade for Felixstowe Port – a 1.4-kilometre passing loop between Trimley and Nacton – has been completed and will be implemented once new timetabling comes into action later this year. The £60 million project will create new connections to the North of England and enable the Port of Felixstowe to increase the number of freight trains it handles by 30 per cent, with the aim of doubling the number of containers moved from more than one million at present, to two million over time. The logistics industry is currently under pressure with multiple political and environmental challenges. However, it is encouraging to know that positive steps are being taken to ensure that rail freight has an optimistic future. Decarbonising the rail network In June 2019, the UK became the first major economy to legislate for a net zero greenhouse gas emission target by 2050.

Page 206 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

All forms of transport – road, rail, sea and air – will need to play their part; in the view of FTA, rail has the clearest path to decarbonisation of all these modes. Electrifying the network is most practical way to decarbonise rail; it is also the most attainable. While Switzerland is the only European country where all railway lines in use are electrified, several others are not far behind: 95 per cent of all Luxembourg’s railway systems are powered this way. The average for EU-28 countries is 54 per cent; the UK lags behind this with only 34 per cent of its current rail network electrified. The key reason why the UK is falling behind, in the view of FTA, is the costs associated with building the infrastructure; many recent electrification schemes have been cancelled due to cost overruns. Recently, the Railway Industry Association has strongly challenged the high costs historically paid to electrify UK rail networks, arguing in a 2019 report that rail electrification can be delivered at between a third and a half of the cost of some past projects, providing the government commits to a rolling programme of work. Further work by RIA and FTA members shows that the rail freight sector could be two-thirds electrified by 2033 if the government carries out an ‘infill’ approach, electrifying strategic parts of the network in a staged way. For rail freight operators, a clear longterm electrification strategy is crucial so that commercial decisions on locomotive replacement can be made. In the UK, many freight rail diesel locomotives are now approximately halfway through their life cycle; now would be an ideal time to kick off a refreshed electrification strategy to help the UK catch up with its more advanced neighbours. Efficient logistics is vital to keep Britain trading, directly having an impact on more than seven million people employed in the making, selling and moving of goods. With Brexit, new technology and other disruptive forces driving change in the way goods move across borders and through the supply chain, logistics has never been more important to UK plc. A champion and challenger, FTA speaks to government with one voice on behalf of the whole sector, with members from the road, rail, sea and air industries, as well as the buyers of freight services such as retailers and manufacturers.

Beware drones – especially for surveying and mapping There is no doubt that the drone, or to use the CAA preferred terminology, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), has made a dramatic impact on the business of surveying but don’t be seduced by everything you read or are told

s potential users of UAS technology in producing the CAD models on which your designs (and reputations) are based you need to be aware of where and when it can be used and, more importantly, where and when it should not be used. The traditional aerial survey technique carried out by a photogrammetrist using photogrammetry has been around since 1850 and is a tried and tested mapping solution that has been used by Network Rail for the past seventy years. However, the cost of the data capture, requiring a twin-engine aircraft, a £500,000 camera and crew, restricts its use to the larger projects like asset management or aerial survey mapping of intercity routes. The introduction of the UAS and associated software has made photogrammetry affordable for even the smallest of projects although whether it is the right solution is a topic we shall explore later. This article explains the pros and cons of using UAS technology and is split into several sections which cover: • The science behind a traditional photogrammetric solution. • The art behind a traditional photogrammetric solution. • The difference between UAS and tradition. • Where it can go wrong. • What ABA can do about it. The science behind photogrammetry Photogrammetry can be defined as being the art and science of taking off measurements from a series of overlapping photographs. For survey purposes this photography would historically have been captured by a metric camera having a calibrated lens with high accuracy. A typical aerial survey comprises a run

of photography (fig 1) with forward gain of 40 per cent of the distance between the exposures (a forward overlap of 60 per cent). If the area is wider than one strip, then more strips are flown with a typical side-lap of 25 per cent. The area of the overlap between any two exposures is therefore recorded from two different camera positions having different perspectives and can, because of this, be viewed stereoscopically as a 3d model. The lens projects the image of the ground and detail onto a flat plane called the image plane. Put simply, parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object relative to other objects when viewed from two different viewpoints. This can be simply demonstrated by holding one finger in front of your face at a distance of, say, 30cm (1ft). Now open and close each eye alternately and the position of the finger appears to move against the background view. Now extend your arm and move the finger to a distance of 60cm (2ft) and repeat opening and closing alternate eyes. The apparent movement of the finger against the background image is now significantly less. This is parallax difference and is caused by the differences in the angles subtended

at the eye base in the two views. Due to foreshortening, nearby objects show a larger parallax than distant objects when observed from different positions, so parallax differences can be used to determine distance differences. Of course, the distance between our eyes (our eye base) is measured in just centimetres whereas the distance to the background may be anything from a few metres to a few kilometres. The assessment of the relative distances of distant objects is therefore more difficult for us than close objects because our eye base is small compared to the distance away. In conventional aerial photography the distance between the images (the air base) corresponds to the eye base and the height above ground corresponds to the distance away from the object. A common ratio for the base to height ratio is 1:4 which gives a much-exaggerated impression of height differences and which in turn facilitates a high accuracy in the derived measurements. Consider a chimney captured in two successive aerial photographs (Fig 2). If we knew the distance between the exposures, the airbase, we could calculate the height of the chimney by measuring the

two different displacements a1-a2 and b1-b2 corresponding to the differences between the two parallactic angles α and β. Of course, nothing is quite as simple as this. In real life the two images, taken from different camera positions, will be at different elevations and each will have a different roll, pitch and yaw which will all affect the position of the point as recorded in the image. Not a problem. We use a procedure which basically consists of adjusting the roll, pitch and yaw of both images until every point in the overlap has a single unique 3d position when viewed stereoscopically as a 3d model. This is called Interior or Inner Orientation. Once the interior orientation process is completed, each overlap (60 per cent of the ground covered by each image) can be viewed stereoscopically as a 3d model. But, at this stage the 3d model has no scale, has no orientation and has no relation to a horizontal datum. This is the time to identify points in the model, called ground control points or GCPs, that have or will have coordinates and or levels and which will be used to ‘level and scale’ the model to datum and grid. The process is called Exterior Orientation. In order to reduce the number of control points needed, or to provide QA for the GCPs, a process of aero-triangulation has become the norm over the past thirty years ever since office computational power has become much more available. Aerial triangulation traditionally meant choosing a number of additional control points to be selected between the models, known as ‘pass points’. These were carefully chosen clear points of detail, usually six per overlap, that could be observed in the forward overlaps and for the wing points in the lateral side-laps. The photogrammetrist will now observe each pass point and GCP by essentially recording the x and y coordinates of the point as seen in each image. A process called aero-triangulation is now used to ‘tie’ the models together using the observed x, y values to derive a unique set of coordinates and levels for the pass points and GCPs using a least squares solution. The art behind a traditional photogrammetric solution The art is the contribution made by the photogrammetrist to select precisely the pass points and GCPs to firstly achieve the interior orientation and secondly the exterior orientation, but, most importantly, to then go on to interpret the model correctly to extract detail and contours to the required accuracy. The extraction of the detail and contours is a very subjective process during which the photogrammetrist will continuously make judgements for the correct interpretation of the image. An example would be the crop that typically covers farmland for six months of the year. A photogrammetrist, confronted with this situation, would simply

look round the field and measure the crop height at several places where the ground was clearly visible. Using the mean of these measurements he or she would then contour the top of the crop allowing for the height. During this detail abstraction process the skill of the photogrammetrist will also add considerable value. For instance, the ground footprint of the face of a building may only be visible in one image. In this case the photogrammetrist will set the reference mark to ground level clear of the building face and ‘drive’ to the face to record its position using just one image.

The difference between UAS and tradition For a start most UASs use non-metric and uncalibrated cameras although the high-end cameras from Phase One and Hasselblad have quality lenses which have been tested and are close to being as distortion free as metric cameras. When using a UAS it is normal to increase the fore and aft and lateral overlaps significantly. Typical UAS sorties would be flight planned to give forward overlaps of 80 per cent and side laps 60 per cent. Therefore, on a traditional flight a typical detail point will fall on at least one model and maybe on up to four models if it is in the side lap as well. With a UAS flight a typical detail point will fall on a minimum of three models and maybe on up to nine models if it is in the side lap as well, thereby offering more opportunities to compute a solution for the point. The larger overlaps also provide a much greater possibility of capturing all the ground detail especially in towns where taller buildings can obscure the roads and pavements. However, the base to distance ratio in these models is significantly reduced which then degrades the ability to measure accurately. The UAS therefore makes up for the loss of this geometric accuracy to some extent with numerical statistics. Measure more times less accurately and then take the mean. Whereas traditionally the inner orientation, the exterior orientation and the aero-triangulation to establish 3d models are all processes performed by the photogrammetrist, in the UAS world the 3d models are formed and the aerotriangulation is all done by a computer. Pix4d, AgiSoft, DroneDeploy, Context Capture and SimActive are probably the most used professional packages for mapping. All software packages replace the

photogrammetrist with a technique of pixel matching to derive the x and y positions for the pass points, now increased in numbers and in geometrically fixed positions, that tie the images together and the GCPs that establish the orientation and scale. The various software packages use different patterns of pixels to search for a match. Once the inner and exterior orientations are computed we then need to convert the 3d model data to a useable form for mapping purposes. The two datasets we most work with are ortho-photos and a point cloud. Where it has been able to, the software will have calculated an x, y and z coordinate for each pixel. The point cloud is therefore a simple output of these points together with their RGB values. The ortho-photo is formed by dropping each point to ground level or a base plane so that the resulting scaled image can be used like a plan and scaled from. Where it can go wrong Unfortunately, pixel matching is not infallible especially when the pixels move, and the pixels will move. The images are collected by digital sensors that are themselves moving and the combination of shutter speed and aperture to get a balanced exposure must allow the shutter speed to minimise any ground movement of the image. Fixed wing aircraft present the biggest challenge. Fixed wing aircraft must have a forward airspeed capable of supporting their flight otherwise they fall out of the sky – simple. Consider a wind speed of only 10 knots. A fixed wing UAS with a stall speed of 15 knots must therefore cover the ground at 25-30 knots minimum when flying with the wind but could have a groundspeed as slow as 5 knots when flying into wind. Flying at 30 knots will equate to an image movement of 15mm with a shutter speed of 1/1000 second. With wind speeds in excess of 10 knots we would therefore advise that all photo strips are flown into wind. Other instances when pixel matching fails are when the pixels are all similar and moving like a cropped field or the detail being captured is featureless like still water. The mathematics behind pixel matching can be seriously challenged for certain linear features that run parallel to the direction of flight. Railway lines are a classic case in point although the comment could equally apply to overhead lines. The reason is that the success of height determination depends on an accurate determination of the differences of the parallactic angles subtended at the air base as we saw in Fig 2. In the case of photography along a railway route the tops of the rails are all made up of identical shiny pixels running parallel to the air base. In these circumstances the computer finds it difficult, if not impossible, to pixel match and thereby derives an incorrect position and height

value. When compared to traditionally surveyed points we have found random height differences of up to +/-50mm which a photogrammetrist would have identified and rejected. Fig 3 is an example of where pixel matching has gone wrong.

technology. In planning UAS imagery suitable for surveying purposes our first requirement is to know the accuracy expected of the final deliverable. Informed thinking is that the best horizontal accuracy that can be achieved

We have found there are two options for improving the determination of railway lines: 1. Fly in a pattern that is at right angles to the track – rather like a cross-stitch pattern. 2. Mark the chainage points across the top of the rail using spray paint. Option 1 can only sensibly be done with a multi-rotor aircraft. A fixed wing aircraft flying this pattern would risk overflying significant areas outside the railway boundary which would not be under control of the pilot. Option 2 requires track access time which is something we are trying to minimise by using a UAS approach in the first place. Our conclusion is that the use of the UAS for survey of railway tracks themselves is not our preferred option. The UAS however can provide a most cost-effective solution for the survey of all non-spatially critical detail. Trackside detail and detail on the lineside between the track and the boundary fence can be better and more safely surveyed using a UAS.

What ABA can do about it So, has the development of the UAS for surveying killed off the role of the photogrammetrist? In our opinion – the answer is undoubtedly YES. But – all is not lost. The so-called game changer has certainly changed the game. The game now requires us to be aware of these shortcomings and put procedures in place to stop them affecting the deliverable. At ABA the skill and expertise of the photogrammetrist is replaced by the skill of the surveyor but after the computer has done its job. Our production process now includes for a skilled field surveyor or even a survey team to validate the output from the computer at the same time as completing the survey detail that has not been possible from the imagery – contours in wooded areas etc. We have invested heavily in developing new UAS technology and recognise the benefits to ourselves and our clients from its correct usage. It has become an essential tool in our toolbox and stands alongside and compliments our other total station, static and mobile scanning and GNSS techniques. ABA Surveying operates at the high accuracy end of the dimensional surveying spectrum. We work almost exclusively in the railway infrastructure and highway sectors with more than a few structures thrown in and where 5mm survey accuracy is our target. We have been using aerial survey for non-spatially critical detail for more than thirty years and have always considered it an invaluable tool in our armoury so when UASs offered a more practical solution we were early adopters and developers of the

will be 1½ times the GSD (distance between pixel centres on the ground) and the best height accuracy will be 2½ times the GSD. ABA have carried out extensive testing over a three hundred metre by 20 metre test area capturing precisely surveyed targets at five-metre intervals. Our tests show that flying at a height of 35 metres we can determine heights better than 5mm RMSE from the imagery even when the control is up to 50 metres spacing. But, this is when the points being determined are pre-marked with 40x40mm targets. Railway lines running in the direction of the flight are not good targets for the reasons we have explained earlier.

Page 210 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

Using the right tool for the job is critical We capture the track alignment, gauge and cant together with the OLE and gauge critical detail using a state of the art TMD fitted with 3d profiler. For absolute precision in location of the TMD we use a mix of total station and rail-shoe observations and off-track targets where possible in order to minimise the track access needed. We survey the structures using static scans and fill in the on-track and off-track lineside detail between the track and the boundary using kinematic scanning supplemented with the aerial photography from the UAS. We hope that this article has given you an insight into UAS technology and if you are considering using it for accurate survey and want peace of mind, our final piece of advice would be to use a survey company that has adopted drone technology and not a drone operating company that ‘does’ survey.

rom the provision of digital ground investigation through to bespoke optimal geotechnical solutions, BAM Ritchies’ self-delivery of our ground engineering disciplines provide safe, right first time, sustainable success within the tightly constrained and controlled rail environment. All rail enhancements, renewals or investment projects rely upon the ground to perform in a certain way. This knowledge is captured through ground investigation. BAM Ritchies has an extensive fleet of plant, capable of undertaking any investigation, whatever the constraints, requirements or topography. Within the rail environment BAM Ritchies deliver their most innovative solutions. Ground investigation is the collection, management and manipulation of big data. Through a combination of commercially available digital tools and our own customised applications, BAM Ritchies has transformed this process, allowing field data to be recorded directly into digital forms that can cross check and validate the data on entry and be shared immediately with supervisors, engineers and customers. As well as reducing errors in data transfer, the rapid sharing of information promotes collaboration during the fieldwork period and enables decisions to be made promptly as more information becomes available. Large scale, agile, ground investigations have recently been delivered on HS2, CP5, Borders Rail and Highlands Enhancement Project. BAM Ritchies continue to deliver ground investigations nationwide on CP6, HS2A and Transpennine. BAM Ritchies bring more than 50 years’ experience, a reputation for innovation and our industry-leading use of digital construction to develop and deliver value-driven geotechnical solutions in the rail sector. We thrive on resolving the geotechnical and logistical challenges associated with the delivery of a rail project. We are well prepared to support you with our broad spectrum of geotechnical expertise, which is available to you in designing and constructing the right geotechnical solutions. Whether we operate as a specialist sub-contractor to deliver the expertise your project requires or whether we act as the principal contractor providing your overall scheme, we have the capacity, capability and competence to ensure your project succeeds. Our in-house design capability ensures that

only the right solution for the identified problem is delivered on site. On the Hook Cutting Stabilisation project, BAM Ritchies worked closely with Network Rail and main Contractor Osborne, to develop an innovative design solution and method that enabled all of the work in the 15m deep, steep sided cutting to be carried out during normal railway operations. This significantly reduced cost, programme and the impact on nearby residents and other stakeholders. BAM Ritchies digital expertise has enabled us to reduce costs on site by virtually undertaking projects in our offices, well in advance of the mobilisation of plant to site. Three-dimensional modelling using software platforms such as Autodesk Revit and Synchro Pro has proven its worth on ground engineering schemes, where the importance of plant selection and access can be critical to the successful delivery of a project. BAM Ritchies provide sprayed concrete and concrete repairs in the fields of civil engineering, construction, railway

engineering, tunnelling and geotechnical work. A full ‘design and build’ concrete techniques service is offered that encompasses every aspect of: • wet mix sprayed concrete • dry mix sprayed concrete • concrete repairs. At Hooley Cutting, we used sprayed concrete to create reinforced ground beams on 50-degree slopes instead of traditional shuttered solutions. We also use spray concrete in combination with soil nailing and netting to deliver hybrid slope stabilisation solutions to meet specific requirements. With ever increasing pressures on space, piled retaining walls for slope retention are the norm. BAM Ritchies concrete techniques teams often finish these piled walls with sprayed concrete to provide durable and aesthetically acceptable faces. Waterproofing can be incorporated as required. Tunnel strengthening and improvement works are a common requirement on the rail network and BAM Ritchies ability to

hen you think of all the changes we’ve seen across our country in the last one hundred years, I find it utterly astonishing that one of them isn’t new railway lines north of London. The history of rail lines north of London has resulted in cuts under Beechings and British Rail. Since the 1900s began, not a single new railway line has been built north of our capital city, and it’s beginning to show. Capacity on trains across the midlands and the North is stretched – it’s leading to crowded commuters all being squeezed onto trains, day in and day out. On some routes, like the West Coast Main Line, demand has increased 190 per cent since 1995. When facing such pressures, bold and decisive action is needed – it’s no use slightly increasing support here, adding a bit more capacity there. Genuine transformation is required. And that is exactly what HS2 is – a transformative project that will stretch from London to Leeds, Manchester, and beyond. It is a project like no other – a shot in the arm that our country’s transport network needs. It’s going to provide around the same space for travellers as a three-lane motorway, providing a welcome relief for people in Birmingham and Crewe, Sheffield and Leeds. It’s also going to deliver clear economic benefits – around £90 billion worth. In fact, we’ve already been seeing businesses

relocate to places such as Birmingham, the hub of the project’s first phase, in large part because of the opportunities that HS2 will bring to the city. And it’s a job creator – 2,000 businesses and now 9,000 people are benefiting in the here and now from the opportunities HS2 is giving to people, allowing them to earn and contribute within their communities. That number of people employed as part of the project will only rise as it gathers steam, up to 30,000, further underlining how HS2 will not just be important once made, but how it will provide livelihoods to thousands of people, for years to come. With all this, it’s hard to see why some vociferously reject our idea – HS2 is going to fundamentally improve rail services in the North and Midlands, while unlocking economic growth for the entire country. But some do, and we cannot ignore that. Some claim the project will damage the environment, but fail to note that it will deliver a new green corridor made up of more than 650 hectares of woodland, wetland and wildlife habitats alongside the line, and that over 350,000 trees have already been planted as part of the scheme. Some claim that the money should be spent on other lines; but they ignore that we’ll be spending £48 billion modernising our railways, investing £2.9 billion in the Transpennine route upgrade. And all of this is on top of our investment in the HS2 project. And many say, quite reductively, we should just stick the money into the North – even though they ignore the fact that by 2020 we will have invested a record £13 billion in northern transport. They also conveniently ignore that HS2 will be inescapably necessary to achieve the full benefits of our plan to deliver Northern Powerhouse Rail, and that Government analysis shows, as a new line, HS2 is the best option for taking pressure off the existing rail network and adding capacity where it is needed most. They’re also ignoring the fact this scheme is roundly welcomed by Northern leaders and councils.

People may suggest HS2 is a bloated project, a vanity plan for this government; but it’s clearly supported across parties, both in and out of Westminster – a rare thing in politics today. From the Midlands to Manchester, across to Yorkshire and back to London, we’re seeing numerous interventions from ordinary businesspeople as well as politicians, stating just how important the project is. Any detractors or people who may one day plan to derail the scheme would be seriously well advised to take heed of these points – the Secretary of State quite rightly said HS2 not happening past Birmingham would be a betrayal of the North, and he is right. Calls to stop the project are shortsighted and narrow-focused, not listening to the concerns of business and northern regions. HS2 will be a once in a generation project. When it is ready, people will scoff at how we could ever have done without it and be staggered by the voices who rallied against it. We cannot play politics with such a vital project, and with something so central to investing in and building Britain. Small minds need to expand, and ambitions need to match our needs, to make sure we deliver an economy and a country fit for future generations. We must not lose sight of our ultimate ambition – to rebalance our economy, regenerate left behind places with investment, and reignite transport in the north. Only with HS2 can this be achieved.

Smart-ticketing – staying ‘smart’ David Berry, Senior Associate, and Suzanne Tarplee, Partner at Stephenson Harwood explore the ramifications of smart ticketing adoption by TOCs

s the rollout of smart-ticketing across the railway network continues, users of the railway will no doubt have seen their train operators promoting the use of smart-card season tickets. This initiative is significant in the context of some of the key messages coming out of Keith Williams’ Rail Review, in particular the need to improve passenger experience and the need to innovate, not just through the use of new technology, but to develop it specifically for the passengers and requirements of the rail industry. The goal of the smart-ticketing project is to create a single solution that works on all modes of public transport. As we have seen in London with Transport for London’s (TfL) highly successful Oyster card programme, the ability for a passenger to use their smartticket Oyster card across trains, tubes and buses has clear benefits and created a seamless passenger experience. Applying similar technology across the UK transport network would offer a significant benefit for passengers and train operating companies (TOCs) alike. These would include the convenience for passengers to purchase their tickets online from anywhere, avoiding the Monday morning queues at the station ticket offices, as well as reducing the costs for TOCs in issuing printed tickets and the need for high staff numbers at ticket offices. The reduced costs for the TOCs could potentially free up investment and staff time that could be diverted towards the passengers. One of the key aspects of what made TfL’s programme so successful was that it was centrally managed with a relatively small number of suppliers. The UK wide smart-ticketing project however is far more complex, as it has been left to each of the TOCs, albeit within parameters specified by the Department for Transport (DfT), to select and procure their own technology and equipment which meet the DfT’s requirements. Therefore, the ability for more than 20 different TOCs to replicate the same seamless passenger experience, as achieved by TfL, is likely to prove a lot more challenging. Cross-dependencies Without this smart-ticketing regime being managed centrally, we are left with each TOC running a variety of different systems that need to communicate with each other in order for a single smart-ticketing

solution that works across the network of public transport. While there will be significant benefits to passengers, should this be successful, the implementation and continual management of such a project presents a number of challenges for the TOCs, as well as the DfT, to ensure the project’s continual success. One of the biggest obstacles for TOCs to overcome is managing the risks between multiple suppliers sharing crossdependencies. Even at a basic level, the number of potential suppliers, variables and cross-dependencies involved in implementing the smart-ticketing project is vast and are likely to include: • Equipment suppliers for: (i) new ticket machines; (ii) handheld devices for ticket inspectors; and (iii) barriers capable of reading the smart-tickets. While some of the TOC’s existing equipment may be capable of being upgraded, such upgrades are likely to need some new equipment to be added to the existing equipment. • Software suppliers to allow new software to be deployed on the new or existing equipment listed above, as well as the new software for the TOC’s back-office IT systems together with new applications and website functionality to allow the passengers to access and use their smartticket. • Potentially cloud hosting providers to allow the TOCs to store such a significant amount of data in the cloud, which is likely to increase as more and more passengers use smart-tickets. In addition to the above, there will be reliance and cross-dependencies with the DfT, TfL and other TOCs. Ensuring

Page 216 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

compatibility between all smart-tickets across the rail network is extremely difficult and almost impossible without a holistic overview of how each of the TOCs are implementing their individual projects. While the DfT and the Rail Delivery Group play a part in this, they do not provide the technical oversight needed to ensure that each of the TOC’s version of a smart-ticketing system is capable of communicating and transacting with the other TOCs’ systems. This difficulty will become starker as each of the TOCs continue to develop and enhance their own systems over time. As a result, there are likely to be a number of teething problems during the early stages of this project; however, provided all stakeholders communicate with each other and work together to overcome the teething problems, a common platform may develop, making the management of the project much more achievable. Updates and developments In addition to the challenge of implementing such a complex project from the outset, it is important to consider the speed of technological change that may make what seems ‘smart’ today, look rather simple in a surprisingly short space of time. This has been evident in TfL’s own experience with Oyster card. While at the start of the project, the concept was for a passenger to pre-load a smart-card with funds to make the necessary journeys. Although successful, this quickly developed so that more and more passengers are now able to use their debit or credit cards to provide the same functionality as their Oyster card. This has now developed even

Legal

further to allow for a passenger’s mobile phone or smart-watch to make the payments for their journey. Such functionality will inevitably be made available by the TOCs over time; however, as the TOC’s are still grappling with the challenges from the phase one implementations, the roll-out of debit card, credit card, phones and watch payments will take a significant amount of time. What this is likely to mean is that, in the short-term, certain TOCs will implement new smartpayment capabilities quicker than others, resulting in certain cross-TOC travel losing the ability to remain connected on one card and thus diminishing the passengers’ experience. During this time, it is likely that passengers will need to use a combination of their smart-tickets and paper-based tickets. The day-to-day running of a complex digital infrastructure also brings its own challenges. One can only look at their own mobile phone to see how often updates and new versions of various apps are pushed through their network on a constant basis. There is nothing particularly unusual about a TOC’s IT team having to manage these updates from their various software suppliers; however, it is the impact these updates may have on the significant crossdependencies highlighted above that proves more difficult to predict.

The one-ticket solution, whether a smart-card, debit/credit card, phone, watch or future device could be significantly undermined if a software update from one TOC results in incompatibility issues with another TOC’s system. The consequences of such IT issues have been most obviously seen in the financial services sector where new IT systems or upgrades have been implemented unsuccessfully, leading to customers being locked out of their accounts. If similar problems were to affect the TOCs, this could result in passengers’ tickets not being recognised by the ticket barriers or an inspector’s machine. Practical difficulties Some of the less obvious challenges in passengers’ large-scale adoption of smart-ticketing is the fact that there is still a technology generation gap, where a significant number of rail passengers would feel uncomfortable using digital as opposed to paper-based tickets. TOCs will also need to be careful when rolling-out initiatives and incentives to attract passengers to use smart-tickets e.g. by offering cheaper fares, as this could indirectly discriminate against vulnerable demographics not using this new technology. While this article has been focused on TOCs, a similar challenge can be applied

equally to the use of this technology on buses and trams, as often a passenger’s journey encompasses a wide range of public transport use. Finally, as with all technology, what are the alternatives should the technology fail? With the number of cross-dependencies highlighted above and the simple fact that passengers’ phones run out of battery, TOCs will need to find solutions to help passengers where problems arise. It is for this reason, together with the generational gap, why paper tickets are likely to remain a viable alternative for quite some time. Conclusion The benefits of smart-ticketing technology are clear for both passengers and TOCs and should generally offer a positive experience for both. However, the non-centralised approach in this initiative is likely to result in a patchwork of technical solutions that may be ‘smart’ in isolation across a single TOC network but lacking in the intellectual rigour required to allow the myriad of technical solutions to communicate with each other over the long-term.

Time, ladies and gentlemen, please… In a recent decision, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that Member States must require all employers in their countries to have a system in place which will record and measure the daily working time of all that employer’s workers

he European Union’s Working Time Directive sets out the rules which govern working time for employees across all EU Member States. This includes the right to rest breaks and places a limit on the average working week. In the UK this is implemented by the Working Time Regulations 1998 (as amended). Amongst other obligations on employers is the requirement for those employers to keep adequate records to show whether the weekly working time limits and night work limits are being complied with. However, there is no requirement to record daily or weekly rest breaks or the actual number of hours worked overall each day. The requirements in the legislation In a case in Spain (Federación de Servicios de Comisiones Obreras v Deutsche Bank SAE), a Spanish workers’ union (the Union) brought a claim against an employer in the Spanish High Court seeking a declaration that the employer was obliged to record the daily working time of all of its workers. The Union wanted this information for two reasons: first, to check that the employer was adhering to working time limits provided for in legislation and collective agreements it had with the employer and, second, to understand the amount of overtime being worked each month. In common with many employers, Deutsche Bank had a computerised system for recording absences, such as holidays or sick leave and presumed that if an absence was not noted, the employee was present. However, it had no mechanism for measuring daily working time. The Spanish High Court asked the ECJ to clarify whether the Working Time Directive and/or the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights required employers to record daily working hours. The ECJ decided that a record of daily working hours was needed. It also ruled that Member States must require employers to set up objective, reliable and accessible systems for measuring the daily working time of all of their workers. Without such systems, it considered that it would not be possible to reliably assess the number of hours worked by an employee, when they were worked, and the amount of overtime worked. If the information was not available, it would make it very difficult, if not impossible, for workers to ensure that their working time rights were respected. Importantly for the ECJ, it felt that the lack

of information could also jeopardise the workers’ health and safety. Notably, the ECJ said: ‘…the law of a Member State that…does not require the employer to measure the duration of time worked, is liable to render the rights (enshrined in the Working Time Directive) meaningless by failing to ensure…actual compliance with the right to a limitation on maximum working time and minimum rest periods, and is therefore incompatible with the objective of that directive, in which those minimum requirements are considered to be essential for the protection of workers’ health and safety.’ The ECJ pointed out that a system of recording overtime hours only would not be sufficient, since it presupposed that the number of basic hours worked was known and measured in advance. Basic hours could be different between workers and just recording overtime hours would not provide individual workers with an effective means of assessing whether working time limits overall had been exceeded. It also would not assist workers who did not work overtime hours. Is the need to record all working hours really necessary? During the case, Member States were able to make submissions to the ECJ ahead of their ruling, given the potential effects of its decision. The UK Government argued that requiring employers to implement additional systems to record this extra information would be costly for employers. However, the ECJ was not persuaded. It considered that this was an issue relating to the health and safety of workers and therefore took precedence over economic considerations. On the basis that the UK’s Working Time Regulations do not currently require employers to have a system for measuring working hours, can employers avoid having to comply with the ECJ decision? The answer is probably not. In its decision, the ECJ highlighted the role of the national courts of Member States in interpreting national law in a manner which is consistent with EU law. If the national law is deficient, the national courts should treat national legislation as if it had the words to ensure that it complies with EU law. What should employers do now? The sensible course of action would be to begin exploring how a system for recording daily working hours can be put in place for

all workers. Systems will already exist for certain cohorts of workers (e.g. zero-hours workers and hourly paid workers), but there are a number of areas within the rail industry where they do not. The challenge will be rolling out a system of time-recording to salaried workers who have a fixed number of hours in their contracts, but who typically exceed those hours. Even where an employer has a system which operates a time-recording mechanism for time spent by employees working for clients, it may not include all of that employee’s working hours, such as time spent on internal administrative activities, attending events on behalf of the business, etc. Can employers sit tight and wait for Brexit to remove this new obligation? Although Brexit means the UK may be able to diverge from EU law in due course, this ruling is binding on the UK now as a current Member State. Furthermore, if and when Brexit takes place, the UK Government has indicated that it will not seek to repeal existing EU labour law protections, so this ruling appears to be here to stay. There really is a need to consider how to implement these changes to time recording practices. Martin Fleetwood is a Consultant at Addleshaw Goddard’s Transport practice.

ver the past 150 years, Keller has built an unrivalled reputation for delivering a wide range of quality solutions, safely, in all environments. In recent years, Keller has invested in the latest plant, training and technology to meet the highest standards in the UK’s rail sector and to continue to deliver the same quality of products and services that our clients have come to expect elsewhere. Our accomplished team of specialists are often called upon to assist with: • Proposing the right solution for the specific project team, the environment and the working restrictions managing risk, programme and budget. • Designing the most efficient geotechnical solution enabling principal contractors and asset owners to make the most of their capital budgets. • Delivering geotechnical and civil engineering projects safely and efficiently using state-of-the-art plant, technology and highly-trained personnel. Whatever the size, scope and complexity of your rail project, Keller has the right quality solution ensuring the job is done right first time. These market-leading and award-winning services include, but are not limited to: • Drilled, driven, helical (screw), augered and rotary bored piling for gantries, signals, bridges, viaducts, buildings and other structures. • Embankment, tunnel and wall

stabilisation solutions including soil nails, anchors and rock bolts. • The design and installation of a wide range of bespoke retaining wall solutions. • I&M packages for monitoring and presenting data on vibration, dust, noise, settlement and many other important aspects on and surrounding the rail infrastructure. • Bespoke track bed stabilisation solutions designed specifically to overcome the complexities and limitations of working in the rail environment. Among the work Keller carried out last year were Crossrail West station upgrades at West Drayton, Southall and Hayes and Harlington Stations. At Hayes and Harlington, due to programme constraints and limited possession availability, the clients (Transport for London and Network Rail) wanted the most effective piling solution and plant that could be used to work within two metres of the rail infrastructure. This meant loading the rig onto platforms during night working and then installing 600mm, 450mm and 300mm diameter Sectional Flight Auger (SFA) piles to the required design depths. With challenging ground conditions, works had to be modified while on site to ensure piles could be installed to the correct specification. Keller has also been busy at Wellingborough and Kettering stations installing 610mm Steel Driven Overhead Line Electrification piles and 300mm diameter bored piles for portal gantries and

twin track OLE structures as part of the works to upgrade stations on the London to Corby line. On all of our projects our specialist team of experienced and capable professionals come together to tailor a unique approach to each one reducing cost, programme, design and safety risks whilst maximising efficiencies. Although we value greatly the experience, stability and expertise of our workforce, we recognise the need to bring through new talent and invest in our established and highly successful graduate and apprenticeship programmes. We also partner a number of colleges, universities and work closely with our industry piers to share knowledge and ensure best practice is promoted throughout the sector now and in the future. EDI (Equality, diversity & inclusion), SEE (Skills, Employment & Education), sustainability and HSEQ is of the utmost importance at Keller and we work closely with our clients and supply chain alike to deliver continual improvement in all respects.

Rail freight – finding suitable sites Since 2000 notable studies published by Network Rail have considered the future requirements of the rail freight sector in terms of network capacity enhancement (Freight Network Study 2017) and forecasted increased flows from intermodal and construction sectors as non-fossil fuel energy options come in to play (Freight Market Study 2013) to existing ports, airports, manufacturing, distribution and warehousing sites adjacent or close to the rail network. This requires positive liaison between Network Rail and their lessees or other landowners not just to identify appropriate opportunity land but also allow inappropriate smaller sites with for example poor road access or configuration Grangemouth

PPG13 set out policy guidance in relation to freight where objectives were to improve the strategic development of freight transport infrastructure and promote more sustainable patterns of distribution through encouraging more freight to be carried by rail and water. More recently the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) first published March 2012 and updated February 2019 supports sustainable development including infrastructure for transport with a presumption in favour of development but leaves the regional and local authorities with the job of identifying/promoting sites through the local plan process with a five yearly review requirement. In preparing their development plans local authorities should identify and protect sites which could be critical in developing infrastructure for the movement of freight and where possible locate developments generating substantial freight movements away from congested central areas and residential areas, and ensure adequate access to trunk roads. They must also protect opportunities for rail connections

to be used for other more suitable purposes. Post Network Rail’s initiative in taking back control of a multiplicity of sites under

problem for the sector remains making sure that government keeps rail-freight on the agenda and that it enables land to be released for investment in new rail connected termini as it remains very challenging to bring forward new development proposals. Over many years working with various clients in the sector we have advised on a multiplicity of land transactions and valuations to facilitate either the transfer of interests or merger of interests to assemble land of suitable size and configuration to accommodate rail development or reinstatement of use for rail freight purposes. The problems encountered in seeking to identify the right place to invest in rail freight development include: • fragmented ownership • cost of connection to the network • short-term and sporadic availability of Modal Shift Revenue Support Grant Scheme (post Brexit position?) • proximity to markets/commodities (ports) • strategic road access • planning – blanket allocations protecting inappropriate sites and lack of strategic regional/local studies to identify and promote appropriate sites.

‘Project Mountfield’ they should be well placed to advise the regional and local authorities and act as a facilitator where other relevant bodies need to be consulted. According to the NIC Freight Study Final Report (April 2019) in 2017 freight distributed in the UK was broadly represented by 78 per cent road transport, 13 per cent by water and nine per cent by rail. The impact of this imbalance is demonstrated by congestion, increasing financial burden of road building and maintenance, and an increasingly effective and vocal environmental lobby. The DfT reported in July 2019 a three per cent increase in goods moved by rail with an average length of haul of 108 kilometres. The Rail Freight Group have released statistics indicating a three per cent decrease for Q1 2019-2020 compared to the previous year following a one per cent decrease over the previous study year from Q1 2018/2019. The rail freight sector clearly still has work to do to reverse this steady decline, though government must ensure that the planning guidance and regime makes it easier to bring appropriate land forward positively rather than relying on outdated blanket policy wording. Doing nothing is not an option. Carbon neutral targets (2050 or even

earlier?) will need to see significant modal shift – and identification of suitable land to accommodate this if they are to be met. Political leaders must enable and support the industry in striving to meet this challenge. Historically, the government’s freight strategy recognised the market’s principal concerns regarding rail as a viable alternative – hence the grant support regime. Rail use has traditionally only been competitive over relatively long distances, as goods have to be loaded on and off the trains at start and finish points. This requires subsequent use of road vehicles and the rail terminus point is not always the final destination. These are the additional costs to a rail journey, which increase the cost per mile. On short haul delivery networks the conventional road vehicle trip is generally cheaper, except on high density freight ‘corridors’ between centres of economic activity. The strategic rail freight interchange study reinforced this by confirming that as a minimum a strategic rail freight interchange should ideally be located on a route with gauge capability of W8 or higher or capable of such enhancement (Government Circular 02/2013). Rail freight operations usually involve continuous working up to 24 hours involving large structures, buildings, and operation of heavy machinery, so are location

sensitive in terms of noise, light and access. This therefore means that environmentally sensitive / residential areas are inappropriate so the legacy Victorian inherited estate of inner urban constrained sites will not adequately address the problem. More flexible and imaginative solutions have to be identified and positively promoted within an enlightened planning regime if we are to redress the current imbalance. We are seeing some movement towards this via Nationally Significant Infrastructure Planning (NSIP) schemes coming forward with the use of Development Consent Orders to bring forward site assembly and planning permission for land that would probably not have been considered appropriate under the former regime due to location within greenbelt or previously undeveloped land.

ISO9001:2015 standards as well Jeweltone are a trusted partner for any job. For over 30 years Jeweltone has had a long and established presence in the rail sector winning several industry awards. During this time, we have worked extensively on London’s Underground network playing a major part in enhancing the passenger experience of the Jubilee line. Initially contracted directly to Tubelines before working for successive contractors, Jeweltone’s IRATA trained staff have been cleaning the voids and steelwork, changing the lamps and ballasts, wiping down the grills and louvers and cleaning the glass and canopies along the Jubilee line. We have also taken on other tasks across the London Underground network replacing glass in canopy roofs, cable laying down vent shafts, installing safety restraint eyebolts and more. Most recently Jeweltone has completed a number of high-level graffiti removal projects for our clients. On a recent project we worked closely with the client in providing a safe route of access for the removal of graffiti above the mouth of a tunnel. The team worked during engineering hours to move and erect a portable counter weighted system onto the street above and

Safety

Safe and secure on Britain’s railway William (Liam) Johnston describes the important work railway chaplains do in assisting the British Transport Police and the rail industry

veryone who has any connection to the railway industry knows that the railway network is a ‘safety-critical environment’. British Transport Police (BTP) are dedicated to keeping the industry safe. Many people only think about BTP as being a presence on the concourse of major railway stations, lending support to revenue inspection. The reality is that BTP is a highly professional and diverse organisation. This was demonstrated through their response to all of the terrorist incidents in 2017 and their involvement with the Grenfell Tower fire, both during the blaze and the subsequent recovery of the victims by the BTP Disaster Victim Identification team (DVI). What is less well-known is that throughout these and other incidents, standing alongside the BTP officers were the railway industry’s equally dedicated railway chaplains. Bill Bryden OBE, BTP’s Operations Delivery Manager for the Scientific Support Unit said of the railway chaplains: ‘Whenever the DVIs are deployed, our chaplains will be deployed with them; our chaplains are worth their weight in gold.’ Not only have chaplains attended major incidents but they have also provided post-incident care following fatalities and serious life-threatening incidents. This extends to being requested to attend the Old Bailey for the London Bridge inquest to provide a reassuring presence for officers and witnesses. BTP has also passed the contact details of the chaplains to other police services where officers have attended particularly traumatic incidents, recognising that while other forces have chaplains, it is the railway chaplaincy that has the experience when dealing with these kinds of tragedies. Railway chaplaincy has been provided by the Railway Mission for 138 years since it was founded in 1881. Despite its long history, many people still don’t know of Railway Mission’s existence, but this group of dedicated railway chaplains provide railway staff and BTP officers confidential, impartial and independent pastoral care.

helps protect those who are vulnerable and may consider self-harm. Chaplaincy support helps people to cope with the devastating effects of these traumatic events. T/DS Gerry Griffin (B Division FIT) said of the Railway Mission Chaplaincy: ‘We have used the chaplaincy services on a regular basis. Nothing is too much trouble for them and we appreciate the support the team provides to families who are at rock bottom.’ Day in and day out the Fatality Investigation Team are viewing the evidence, the witness statements, images and personal effects of fatality victims. Under normal circumstances, the team handles the constant traumatising effect of such work well. But when another negative stimulus is added, either through work or home life, the normal coping mechanism is disrupted. It is at this point that the ongoing pastoral care of a chaplain becomes invaluable to the individual as either a sounding board or as an impartial confidant. But chaplains will also step into the role of advocate for the health and wellbeing of the team and others in both BTP and the railway industry where it is appropriate to do so. At the end of 2018 Michele Ashton, chaplain to London Liverpool Street and Anglian Region, received a special

recognition award from BTP for all her work in supporting both Police and railway staff through challenging times, especially following incidents such as suicides or accidents on the railway. The nomination came from Stephanie Anderson, Key Account Director at STM Group and from police officers in the area. The award was presented by Superintendent Susan Peters, Head of Territorial Policing Support at BTP Force HQ. Another of the chaplains, Andrea Smyth, recalls her recent experience of two nightshifts with BTP. Where she and

Safety

the officers attended or were involved with incidents ranging from a stabbing to a shooting, to a person on the track, a fire and public disorder. ‘Sometimes we would drive around doing a general sweep of the local areas, but a lot of the time was spent on blue lights, responding to incidents of various levels of seriousness.’ Andrea recalls how the two officers talked to many people, being firm but fair with offenders and compassionate with the vulnerable. Receiving a call that there was a young woman lying on the track at a station, turning on the blue lights they sped to the location. Andrea says: ‘The three of us got out of the car and saw a young woman walking away from the station entrance. A Network Rail Mobile Operations Manager (MOM) came to meet us, pointed to the young woman, and said, ‘that’s her.’’

Apparently, she had been seen by the MOM lying very close to the track. A train had been approaching but had seen her and stopped in time. Approaching the woman, one officer spoke to her briefly before calling Andrea over. ‘I took her to the police car and we sat in the back talking quietly. It turned out that she had been at a meeting and then had gone for some drinks afterwards with friends, but didn’t remember anything after that. We all thought that her drink may have been spiked, particularly as she had lost her memory and had no recollection of lying on the railway track.’ When the chaplaincy receives a notification of an incident, it is the chaplains’ rapid response to the incident and their ability to assist with difficult situations that BTP officers have always valued. However, it should be noted, that where an incident may result in a criminal investigation into either railway employees

or a company, that the chaplaincy provides a dedicated chaplaincy to BTP and a separate chaplaincy to the railway industry, in order to prevent any perceived conflict of interest while supporting rail staff and BTP officers. This was the response for the recent tragic incident near Port Talbot where two Network Rail staff were sadly killed by a train while working on the track. Regardless of an individual’s beliefs or lifestyle, rank or role, railway chaplains seek to engage with people on a personal level. Spending time with police officers and staff helps build lasting and supportive relationships that help build personal resilience. Resilience is the personal capacity to manage the risks associated with excessive demands and stresses without experiencing any personal anxiety. Personal and industry-wide safety and security can be put at risk if officers and staff are suffering from anxiety or stress; because these affect concentration and the ability to perform efficiently and safely. The benefits of establishing a resilient workforce include the capability of the organisation to operate in such a way as to be able to respond rapidly to internal and external pressures, while at the same time reducing costs linked to the loss of productivity through stress; reducing costs while increasing performance is a priority of any responsible organisation. Railway Mission chaplains understand the need for BTP to focus on the psychological needs of officers and staff; therefore they provide ‘Psychological First Aid’ to the organisation, supporting BTPs Trauma Risk Management. All of the above are operational situations and represent a little of the breadth of the roles and responsibilities of some of those who protect the railway. The preparedness of BTP to respond to situations comes down to training and retraining. Occasionally you may see BTP officers searching a railway station with ‘passive dogs’. Here to, Railway Mission chaplains can and do, lend a hand, assisting in the training of these dogs. Some people might consider this as not a good use of a chaplain’s time, but without the volunteers helping with the training, these dogs would not be as effective as they are. Chaplains have also been known to assist in the training of police officers in riot situations and the chaplains join in with enthusiasm, after all, who wouldn’t volunteer to throw things at the officers of the Operational Support Unit?

Bridge strikes – reducing the impact on transport networks and the environment Bridge strikes are costly to both rail and road network operators; creating hours of delay and disruption for all involved and risking the lives of anyone directly or indirectly involved

n average of five bridge strikes happen every day – potentially endangering lives every time – despite the current risk reduction initiatives. At best, there is no negative impact on human life, but each strike causes infrastructure damage and, on average, a two-hour delay to trains; resulting in disruption to both rail and road users. Approximately 1,800 vehicles a year crash into bridges, a majority being HGVs and buses. In simple monetary terms, bridge strikes cost on average £13,000 per strike. Historically this equated to around £23 Case study: City of Edinburgh Council Problem – four hotspot bridge sites with a high number of bridge strikes and obsolete/faulty OVD systems. Solution – replacement of 15 systems across four very busy sites with swift delivery during temporary road closures to minimise road traffic delays and avoid disruption to the Edinburgh Fringe. Technology – Coeval supplied dual infrared overhead broken beam detectors on each approach to the low bridges, detecting any vehicles exceeding the maximum vehicle height. Should a vehicle break the detection beam, Vehicle Activated Hazard Warning Signs are activated to warn of the height restriction ahead, and the Warning Signs advise to use an alternative route e.g. ‘Overheight Vehicle Use A701 to Left’ or ‘Overheight Vehicle Stop’ if no alternative exists before the bridge. George King, Project Manager for The City of Edinburgh Council commented: ‘Coeval won the tender for the replacement systems and carried out the installation works involving using different temporary traffic management set-ups to liaising and working with our own electrical consultants in the Street Lighting Section. The work was also completed within programme and budget. We are now satisfied that the new systems will help protect the bridges for several years to come.’

million a year of UK taxpayers’ money. This financial situation appears to have improved recently with Network Rail now claiming the cost back from hauliers. However, not all strikes are significant, as such some vehicles don’t stop when they’ve hit the bridge, so the costs are still borne by Network Rail. These figures relate to the costs relating to the bridge assets. In addition, we have both the financial cost to the wider transport network and the impact on the environment, caused by road traffic delays and congestion associated with a bridge strike. Transport bodies, including Network Rail and Highways England, continue to work on a number of initiatives to reduce the number of bridge strikes in the UK. These include working with the haulage industry to educate and engage their members to improve areas where the hauliers can have a direct influence on the drivers themselves, such as accurate vehicle height measurement and effective route planning. However, the number of bridge strikes does not appear to be decreasing. The physical infrastructure around the bridge location plays an important part in advising, informing and enabling HGV and bus drivers to avoid low bridges; with more effective warning signage and improved turning areas, for example. The challenge in relation to these infrastructure solutions appears to be the connection between rail and road and who funds such solutions.

Page 232 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

This is an interesting challenge as we enter a new decade where transport funding remains limited and climate change is at the fore. As climate change becomes a real focus, are we also considering the impact of bridge strikes on our environment? The transport sector is the fastest

Safety

growing contributor to climate emissions. It’s common knowledge that traffic congestion plays a major part in climate change issues and that this can be, in part, alleviated by improving traffic flow and enabling the greater use of public transport. When we consider the environmental impact of bridge strikes on the entire transport network, we need to look at two areas: The impact to rail travel – delays. The impact on the highway network – congestion. One means of reducing the number of cars on our roads is to see a shift to alternative modes of transport which includes rail; public transport is key in the

fight against climate change. As such we must have a reliable alternative to the car, any delay to rail passenger travel negatively effects the reputation of our rail services and damages the drive towards increased use of public transport. In addition, traffic congestion caused by these incidents also has a major effect on our environment and our health. Air pollution is the biggest environmental threat to health in the UK with up to 36,000 deaths a year attributed to long-term exposure (Public Health England, March 2019). The Government’s latest set of appraisal tools indicate that the health impacts of not delivering on the UK’s emission reductions

could be around £5.3 billion per annum by 2030. In order to achieve the emission reduction targets and protect future generations, we need to look at our entire transport network and how it effects our environment. This includes the impact of bridge strikes and how we can reduce these incidents. At Coeval, we work with our clients to reduce the impact of hazards across the transport network, including systems to protect bridges and tunnels. Overhead Vehicle Detection (OVD) systems can alert drivers to a low bridge ahead and warn them that they are too tall to pass under it. It can also collect data in relation to the number of triggers and help to identify if there is a wider issue that needs investigating further.

Scaffolding & Access

Layher access and protection systems – a proven track record The wide range of temporary works access needs that are a central feature to rail refurbishment projects call for equipment that is proven, safe and versatile

ayher Ltd. has been at the heart of this scenario for many years and, according to its UK Managing Director, Sean Pike, the ongoing innovation behind the company’s scaffolding, access and weather protection systems is a further factor that helps it meet clear-cut rail industry needs. ‘The safe movement and management of both workforce and the public is invariably a feature of rail refurbishment and can take on many forms’ he says. ‘Access scaffolds, temporary bridging and site protection – all feature regularly on the project lists of a growing list of scaffolding contractors who use our equipment and systems.’ Sean Pike highlights key characteristics of Layher’s equipment design to fulfil specific rail industry needs. ‘The principal equipment in our range – Layher Allround – features a built-in connection mechanism which means the number of individual components required can be minimised’ he says. Sean Pike points out that the ‘rosette connection’ design offers a choice of fixing positions to enable an extensive range of installation layouts and configurations to be achieved. ‘Importantly, it provides a common fixing method not just for other Allround equipment such as transoms, guard rails and decking,

but also enables the system to interface directly with, for example, our temporary roofing, Protect screening and containment panels and choice of bridging and staircase systems. All of these, of course, feature regularly in the rail refurbishment sector’ he adds. Layher’s lightweight designs simplify handling operations while the absence of separate clamps not only helps to improve safety – there being a lower risk of material either falling or being left at site upon completion – but also means erection speed is optimised. Layher can point to examples where savings of some 50 per cent, in both manpower and materials, compared with tube and fitting, have typically been realised. This translates into not only time savings but also minimises transportation and site storage requirements. Significantly, Layher also has a proven commitment to innovation with new product designs emerging regularly from the company’s manufacturing plant in Germany. ‘Recent developments include our Aluminium FlexBeam design which has been developed for both suspended and upright surface scaffolds and is proven during the installation of bridge structures – often central to rail industry work’ continues Sean Pike. He adds that the product has a 40 per cent

Page 234 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

higher bending capacity than alternative designs and also enables lower construction heights to be achieved. The recent introduction of a new Lightweight Steel Deck – which achieves a ten per cent weight saving – is also set to offer important handling and application advantages to the rail industry. Using high tensile steel grades, thinner materials and an innovative transverse reinforcement design, the innovation still meets Load Class 6 requirements and is available in a choice of lengths. Features such as bridging across the rosette on Allround standards, increased rigidity and enhanced non-slip capabilities, all enhance the suitability of this latest addition to the Layher decking range. The company has also recently introduced two new independent tower options that meet short term moveable access needs. ‘Our new Solo Tower has been developed for transport, assembly and use by just one worker’ continues Sean Pike, ‘and a full set of Solo Tower lightweight components can be loaded simply into a van for easy transport to point of use.’ The Solo Tower assembly can reach a working height of 6.15 metres – with one man construction achieved via the ‘3T method’ – while a snap-on claw design means construction is tool free. Preconnected toe-boards and pre-assembled double guard rails help to make the installation as safe and simple as possible on a wide range of ground conditions, with a load capacity of 2.0 Kn/m² on the maximum of one working level then available. Alongside this, the company’s new Heavy Duty Tower XL enables a structure with a 2MN load capacity – equivalent to 200 tonnes – to be easily constructed by simply adding just a few components to the Layher Allround system. ‘Partially or fully completed, XL towers can then be readily positioned by crane – although none is required for the assembly process itself’ Sean Pike explains, ‘while

Scaffolding & Access

once again, a range of ground conditions can be accommodated using the adjustable base plate.’ The XL tower, which provides a working area of 1.57 metres by 1.57 metres, is ideal for applications such as working scaffolds, bridges and shoring and thus clearly opens up a wide range of possibilities throughout rail refurbishment operations. One of the most exciting developments to be introduced in recent months by Layher is its Scaffolding Information Modelling (SIM®) design tool. This builds on the company’s established LayPLAN and LayPLAN CAD facilities to create 3D visualisations which can be seen either through a wearable VR headset or on screen. ‘Scaffolds can be rotated, clash detection function enabled and mixed reality applications produced while realistic rendering, enhancement via extensive

libraries and the option to hold prefabricated assemblies and template drawings on file are all also available’ continues Sean Pike. Key information outputs such as material needs, weights and logistical details can then be generated. Layher has grown consistently over many decades to become a genuine multi-national modular scaffolding, access and protection specialist. Its offices in the UK, centred in Letchworth with support from satellite depots in Yorkshire, Scotland, Ireland and, most recently, the Midlands add up to extensive nationwide coverage – all underpinned by the organisation’s membership of the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation and achievement of a list of relevant, independent certifications. ‘Throughout this time, we have been fully aware that our success and growth is

closely linked to that of our customers so we are committed to giving them the tools to develop their own services’ concludes Sean Pike. ‘That doesn’t just mean the physical equipment, but also involves support that ranges from design and training to supply confidence, not least the six months’ stockholding that we have in place to accommodate possible factors relating to Brexit, and, of course, continuous innovation.

Station Design & Refurbishment

Forward-thinking rail livery design Aura Graphics strive to have pioneering technology and products in the foreground of everything we do, and are always looking for new, exciting projects to be involved with to showcase these capabilities

arlier this summer, we showcased such a project we were working on in collaboration with Porterbrook at one of the many exhibitions we attended this year – Rail Live. This event is the UK’s only exhibition that brings the entire rail industry together in a real rail environment. Rail Live is renowned for including ontrack machinery demos and live displays of the freshest, most exciting new products and equipment. This was the perfect environment to demonstrate our latest work and phenomenal new products as part of Porterbrook’s creative feat – the InnovationHub.

The hub was a four-car class 319 train repurposed into class 379 as a static testbed and working environment for SMEs looking to experiment with new tech, data, and passenger solutions before they go live. Porterbrook’s Project Manager for InnovationHub, Kevin Eley, spoke of the immense work that went into the hub, saying: ‘This year it’s got 30 different innovations on it, with 25 different suppliers. It’s fully powered so it’s got 240 and 110 power on it, and it’s been completely stripped out so it’s got anything from new seating to design graphics to wayfinding – the list is endless’. Aura Graphics were lucky enough to

Page 236 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

be selected as one of the 25 UK-based companies to demonstrate more than 30 new innovative products on the InnovationHub. Working closely with Porterbrook, we refurbished two trains for the event – the Innovation Train and the HydroFLEX train. We wrapped the exterior of 2 x 4 car carriages, with one being for the Innovation and one for the HydroFLEX livery, with one carriage wrapped per day. On the interior wrap, we started with approximately a third of a carriage that was in a particularly substandard state and wrapped it in various films advertising what each was capable of, as well as prepping all surfaces and fully spraying the ceiling. It took us approximately two days of prepping with spray, and another two full days of wrapping. We were also asked to wrap the bulkheads throughout the unit, as well as wrap and spray another third of a carriage in the VIP area for Porterbrook, which took us only three days in total. Following this, it was requested that we complete some interior painting and wrapping on the HydroFLEX, for an additional two days. We were able to transform the entire carriages, top to bottom. We managed to provide vinyl wraps with clear coat finishes; directional graphics; draught screen glass; dado panels; light diffusers; and powder coating and painting. All the graphics produced for the interior and exterior of the trains came from our unique in-house design team. The entire livery was comprised of original design work and graphics that were in place to lead people around the train with ease, whilst describing the uses and benefits of each product that was used on the interior space. On the windows we used temperature and heat reflective films, which are used to control the ambient temperature of the train. These films not only work to keep heat out on a hot, busy train but also greatly help to reduce running costs. Working closely with 3M we also used a number of new innovative products including the 3M DI-NOC series, a new conformable anti-graffiti laminate, and the

impact is possible.’ Echoing his sentiments, Oli Wilson – 3M’s Key Account Manager – mentions: ‘It’s a really exciting time for us, and also for Porterbrook, as we really value sustainability – it’s one of the key drivers in the rail industry today.’ In an age where sustainability is at the forefront of business, it’s incredibly important for us to continue using cutting edge products that push for a more environmentally friendly option. We will always champion state-of-the-art solutions that will renovate and transform the face of the rail industry.

Station Design & Refurbishment

Community action and spirit creates Cumbrian transport hub Most people have heard of Hadrian’s Wall, but the Roman name of Alauna is much less familiar

ut this town – these days better known as Maryport, situated in West Cumbria – was a highlyimportant frontier settlement during the Roman occupation of Britain, and this fascinating history is now uniquely celebrated by a series of evocative storyboards installed on the bi-directional platform of the town’s railway station. But depicting the days when the legions of Rome marched through the hills and valleys of Cumbria is just part of a much larger picture. ‘The regeneration of Maryport station was a major strategic objective for the Community Rail Partnership,’ explains Dawn McGough, Community Rail Manager. ‘We wanted to create a series of hub stations along the Cumbrian Coast railway to encourage regular rail travel, alleviate local traffic congestion and facilitate much more tourist exploration of our scenic Cumbrian Coast railway. So we collaborated with Cumbria County Council and the Local Enterprise Partnership on preparing the business case and overall strategic approach. From the outset Maryport was a priority.

Page 238 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

Station Design & Refurbishment

There was very little car-parking space at Maryport station which led to major congestion on the surrounding streets and was a real barrier to persuading people to use the train. Bearing in mind the daily commuting needs for workers at Sellafield and the tourist opportunities in Maryport creating an integrated transport hub with the railway station was the perfect answer.’ Cumbria County Council secured the essential funding for the project – in excess of £1 million – through the Cumbria Growth Deal. Land ownership negotiations commenced with the local rugby club, on whose land the new car parking facilities were scheduled to be built. Running alongside these complex negotiations the Community Rail Partnership ensured the whole project had a strong strategic fit with Allerdale Borough Council’s ambitious plans for the regeneration of Maryport as a prime tourist destination. Following resolution of all practical issues the transport hub, consisting of a 78-space car park, pedestrian access to the station and associated footpath and highway improvements, was officially opened by Cumbria County Council in April 2018. This was welcomed by the local community and produced immediate results, with a notable upsurge in rail usage. Attention now turned to regenerating the railway station itself. The Community

Rail Partnership engaged with the local community for advice. ‘The station is a very important gateway to the town and we wanted to create something the community could be proud of,’ says Dawn, ‘the large platform areas were an overgrown and unkempt wilderness crying out for transformation and who better to tell us what to do than the people who live there?’ A priority on the community ‘wish list’ was a modernisation programme which coincided with Northern’s own Station Investment plans. Through ongoing collaboration with the community, a comprehensive work programme emerged, including clearance of the garden areas, installation of a new shelter, measures to reduce vandalism and anti-social behaviour, new Customer Information screens and extensive platform resurfacing. It was during this renovation work that the concept of introducing a Rome theme into the station really came to the fore. ‘We just don’t have the population along the Cumbrian Coast to sustain the usual commercial ventures at our stations’, says Dawn, ‘but we’re also firm believers in the fact that railway stations can be so much more than places to wait for a train. We have very strong links with schools along the line of route and teachers always tell us about the value of learning outside the traditional classroom environment. As a result, we’re

developing the concept of using our stations as outdoor classrooms.’ And, with an appreciation of local heritage being so high on the school curriculum, the project known as the ‘Edge of Empire’ was born. The years when the legions of Rome dominated Cumbria are well-documented, and during those times watch-towers and mile fortlets were built to protect the Cumbrian coast from invaders north of the border. Alauna was a hugely important location during the Roman conquest, both as a shallow-water port and a staging post for Roman troops on their way to Hadrian’s Wall. ‘We wanted to create a real focal point on the station,’ explains Dawn, ‘something that was both valuable in heritage and educational terms and also intrinsically different. So we established focus groups drawn from the community and specialists in Roman history to provide the basic guidance on the different themes we wanted to portray. Learning about Roman history on a railway station might seem a strange thing to do but it’s a perfect fit for places like Maryport.’ With financial support from the Community Rail Development fund, administered by the Association of Community Rail Partnerships on behalf of the DfT, the Edge of Empire became an exciting reality. The result is a remarkable display of highly-praised storyboards installed prominently on the Maryport platform. Deliberately sequenced, these intriguing storyboards begin with the chronicles of everyday life before the Roman conquest, how and when the Romans arrived, the many legacies the Romans left behind, and eventually end with the fall of Empire. ‘We set out to provide a memorable experience for children,’ laughs Dawn, ‘but it turns out that adults enjoy learning about Roman history just as much! The final storyboard is a quiz based on what has gone before and people go back to find the answers! The feedback we’ve had from both rail passengers and the general public has been absolutely fantastic. The Roman theme has made a huge difference to the station.’ But the community spirit and local enthusiasm which has made the Maryport transport hub such an outstanding success doesn’t end there. A new station adopters group, called the Maryporters, has been established and plans to extend the Roman theme are already being made. The last word must go to Dawn. ‘We’re so lucky to have such a huge reservoir of community goodwill here in Cumbria. The Cumbrian Coast railway is a lifeline for so many isolated communities, especially with the cutbacks in rural bus services. And it’s in places like Maryport that community commitment shines through. We’ll make sure it continues!’

Rail Alliance - at the heart of the rail supply chain At the beginning of last year the Rail Alliance entered a new chapter in its history when it was formerly integrated as part of BCRRE

uilding on its reputation as the largest b2b rail community in the UK and the go-to organisation for doing business in rail, the Rail Alliance has gone from strengthto-strength. Spanning the entire rail supply chain, the community forms a rich and diverse network and as it grows, so does the knowledge within and also the connections to be leveraged. Sitting at the very heart of the rail supply chain, the Rail Alliance acts as a valuable resource for UK rail businesses, and provides a number of high quality business focused benefits from networking opportunities, knowledge transfer, market intelligence, company profile raising in addition to access to business advice specific to rail or international programmes and much more. We are also very proud of the representation within the community from other sectors – such as aerospace, automotive, oil and gas and nuclear to name but a few. This adds even greater diversity to the community, bringing fresh innovation and new ideas to further enhance and enrich the R&D/I processes within the sector. The Rail Alliance’s revised business model allows organisations to select a level

of service that meets individual business needs - from a freemium option right up to a full service, gold package. This provides new options and offers increased flexibility to join the community and has resulted in exponential growth. We have been extremely encouraged by the value the community has placed on joining the Rail Alliance with many choosing to move from a freemium option to full community partner status which reflects a true endorsement from the sector. With the backing of the University of

Birmingham via BCRRE, the Rail Alliance is in an even stronger position to support the rail supply sector and assist organisations within the community to navigate what can often be a complex market environment – whether a company is new to the sector or looking to develop rail business as an established organisation in rail. The Rail Alliance is fiercely proud of its community – a community with a passion to thrive and achieve through collaboration, networking and innovation.

Sustainability

The transport sector gets onboard with social value Chris Farrell, the Managing Director of Impact Reporting, discusses how the rail sector can prioritise Social Value and improve reporting to make a real difference to the bottom line

ocial Value and Social Investment have become recognised words within the rail sector as more and more organisations have a growing awareness that they need defined social, environmental and sustainability goals. Businesses are looking at practical ways to reduce emissions through energy initiatives and people-focused outreach programmes such as staff training, by working with community groups and recruiting from diverse communities. The list of initiatives an organisation can undertake is exhaustive, with the challenge being how to prioritise what’s important. The frameworks and methodologies associated with Social Impact measurement may differ between organisations and

sectors, however some key themes are pertinent across all sectors. For example, analysing common inputs: money invested in charities, time spent volunteering, or trees planted is often balanced with common outputs: jobs created, lives saved, and carbon emissions prevented. Social Value can be calculated as a ‘Social Returnon-Investment’ (sROI), which relates to the perceived societal value of an organisation’s impact. However, it is important to be aware of the qualitative insights – the narratives and experiences – that also exist. These are often overlooked but are an effective way of contextualising your impact and humanising reporting about your social impact. This is important when it comes to communicating your impact to your audience.

Capturing accurate data Social Value is drastically influencing business behaviour in the rail sector and increasingly being seen as an effective and responsible strategy for setting organisations apart. This is reinforced by the expectations of consumers and employees and their ever-growing want to engage in pro-social initiatives. Public transport is often funded by the taxpayer, making the need to demonstrate a positive social impact even more pertinent in the transport sector, to get to a point where you are truly trusted by prospective customers and seen as a desirable employer, the clear measuring and reporting of your impact is imperative. Employees need to understand why they are engaging in a social or environmental project and whether the outcomes have contributed towards the business’ purpose. They want and expect transparency. It’s important to reflect on your current business behaviours to understand if all stakeholders are working towards a common goal and if your Social Value budget is being allocated efficiently. How Social Impact is recorded, analysed and reported is just as important as how it is created – the information you get out is only as good as the data you put in. Updating and quantifying data live is crucial. It’s already standard practice for HR, sales and financial data to be captured robustly and accurately in real-time – and now the norms for social value data capture are catching up. Google Analytics, Xero, SalesForce, and intranet Page 244 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

Sustainability

systems are all updated live, and reports can be gathered at the click of a button, without the hassle of manually compiling data from multiple sources. In short, having all social value data feeding into one central database is advantageous as it allows for regular updates. The benefits to transport businesses It’s important to make the analysis of your social responsibility an ongoing requirement, and refrain from solely relying on an annual report. Modern software is making this not just possible, but practical, taking in feeds from CRMs and intranets and calculating social value in real time. Rail organisations must pursue their organisational purpose – rather than monetary metrics – drives their Social Value strategy. All forms of Social Value activity should be encouraged, however if you only invest exclusively in activities that produce a high ROI you are in danger of ignoring other projects that may be more valuable in the long run or provide a broader range of benefits to society. Chris Farrell says: ‘It’s easy to pay lipservice to Social Value and not be truly committed, however eventually your stakeholders will see through this. The real and rewarding challenge comes when you take control of the agenda, using strong figures to support your decisions. ‘Driving with purpose-first means that decisions reflect the preference of the enduser or community you want to help, rather than the needs or whims – or indeed quotas – of the executives. To truly understand whether you are making a difference in communities, you need more than highlevel figures; you need stories driven by real people.’ Reaching the right goals Quantifying Social Value in an accurate and consistent way is key for all transport organisations. One such way, is by aligning to and supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – 17 global goals set by the UN in 2015 – is a straightforward and ethical way of benchmarking the impact of many value-based businesses. These are a blueprint to achieve a more sustainable future and address global challenges related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. Chris Farrell says: ‘We encourage our rail clients to align to the UN’s SDGs because of their worldwide and future-proofed applicability. Organisations track and report on their pro-social and pro-environmental activities according to which SDGs they contribute towards – to provide structure and help employees understand the greater goals they are helping to achieve.’ Indeed, given the vast array of activities that rail, or aviation organisations can carry out, it is not surprising that many of these cannot be understood in simply

monetary terms. To focus strictly on this approach, and to exclusively report on quantitative data, organisations are missing an opportunity to truly understand the scope of their impact. It’s about the longterm difference an organisation is making to the lives of real people and environmental sustainability. On the right track As the owner and operator of Britain’s railway infrastructure, Network Rail, has set the social value standard within the rail sector. With 216,000 people in the UK employed by the rail industry and its supply chain and the £36 billion it contributes to the UK economy annually, the organisation is hugely influential. It sponsored the development of the sector’s Common Social Impact Framework (CSIF) and it aims to always be measured against these values. Sarah Borien, Sustainability Strategy Manager at Network Rail, says: ‘We want to measure our social value in a meaningful way and take into consideration a broad range of activities that we know are being delivered across the network, but rarely measured. For example, we will be examining employee’s volunteering time, STEM engagement, railway safety, social regeneration and community rail initiatives.’ Chris Farrell says: ‘Rail clients need to incorporate a range of diverse factors into their social value, from measuring outreach in schools, to rail safety, suicide prevention, apprenticeships and local economic spend. ‘Network Rail supports a range of Social Value initiatives such as supporting local communities, by addressing youth unemployment and developing training

and apprenticeships to address the gender pay gap and encourage a more diverse staff structure. ‘It also champions societal and environmental campaigns and hosts school interventions to discuss safety, accidental deaths and suicide prevention. Encouraging and investing in green initiatives is also essential for the rail sector. Network Rail is customer-focused and works to maintain tracks, create eco spaces at stations and plant trees. It also strives to make stations physically accessible and step-free for disabled customers.’ The power of social investment Social Value aids rail organisations by making them more efficient and leads to higher engagement amongst employees. Delivering social investment initiatives is key for the rail sector which was established to be used by the public and impacts on the environment and society. It will be an interesting journey ahead as Social Value becomes increasingly central to the success of the rail sector. About Impact Impact Reporting was established in 2017, in Manchester, by the co-founders of Reason Digital. It’s an easy-to-use, cloud-based SaaS which streamlines the way businesses capture, monitor, and produce real time reports on their social and environmental impact.

Technology

Our comfort zone Phil Linnecor, ACOREL UK Director and Paul Hirst, ACOREL Innovation Manager explain how they navigate beyond their comfort zones

n our early years we instinctually know our comfort zone and when something breaks our tranquil lifestyle. We learn to adapt new patterns needed to gain people’s attention, thus helping us solve whatever discomfort we quickly need to overcome. As we get older our comfort zone is challenged, on the first day of school we are told where to hang our coat and where to sit and we undertake the challenge of the three R’s, although some challenges to our comfort zone we will never truly understand. We face comfort zone challenges on a daily basis and sometimes we have to adapt new patterns to answer those challenges. Back in the 80s, when Paul’s brother worked for London Underground, taking the tube seemed considerably easier. It was not only just that he knew which lines to take to get from Notting Hill to Elephant and Castle, but he also knew the shortcuts within the stations and where to stand on the platform. He’d always get on the carriage that was nearest to the exit at the arrival station and as the platforms were less crowded, he did not get crushed or jostled about by passengers who are trying to alight and are desperately in a hurry to get home to watch EastEnders. Today our transport networks are faced with twice the number of passengers, creating congested areas within the stations and platforms presenting greater challenges

to our comfort zone and increased safety risks to us and fellow passengers. Our perception is that we are entitled to always use the easiest course. Although paths that might have saved 30 seconds in the 1980s would create bottle necks within a station today and walking the wrong way down a no entry corridor has the same impact as standing on a hose pipe, it just restricts the natural flow. In order to fix the problem, passengers and operators alike will need to trust,

adapt, follow and educate to reprogram our transport patterns. This is where ACOREL comes in. ACOREL is now proposing a real-time solution that not only evaluates how many people are on the platform, but it shows the hot spots, where the crowding is the densest, where the potential danger is. The technology can be used throughout the station so that the bottlenecks can be pinpointed, and action can be taken, by temporarily shutting the entrance gates for example, that improves

Technology

the flow and safety on the platforms. We can also follow the flow of the passengers within the station, see who uses the standard routes and who uses Paul’s brother’s shortcuts. People catch on quickly and the flow in the station could be potentially modified just through a couple of overcrowding incidents. A few people taking shortcuts may not perturb the traffic within the station, however, when the numbers increase new bottlenecks will occur. So, we need to predict when these incidents are going to occur, so that the flow of people and the path they take can be controlled. ACOREL’s solutions are not designed to take passengers out of their comfort zone, but more to help provide new travel patterns to passengers who may not know cities as well as Paul’s brother knew London and to provide confidence in the data that is provided. Just like over the last 20 years we have learnt to trust satellite navigation (SATNAV) and trust that Google, Apple or Waze will guide us to our destinations. ACOREL’s solutions will help visitors and residents alike to navigate the public transport networks across our cities. ACOREL’s latest technologies incorporate Artificial Intelligence with embedded Machine Learning techniques to generate predicted data and by analysing historical

data, machine learning algorithms can determine hidden tendencies and predict when peak or unusual behaviour will occur. This information can then be used to alert staff so that they can take the appropriate actions. These technologies provide an early warning mechanism to help reduce delays, risks and other unforeseen circumstances and improve the flow of passengers and vehicles alike through the networks and interchanges. ACOREL’s predicted data coupled with the real-time feeds can also orientate the passengers throughout the station and to the best place to stand on the platform, for safety’s sake. Not only will this optimise the flow within the station, but the passengers will have a better travel experience. ACOREL’s algorithms will be further optimised by introducing external data, such as the weather, local events and planned disruptions. Although the company is always looking for new data feeds that are relevant to helping passengers and operators attain the level of service they require to meet one another’s needs. With these new technologies you don’t need to have a brother who works for London Underground, they assist the operator on what additional information or educational needs are required for the passengers. This gives confidence to

ACOREL’s latest technologies incorporate Artificial Intelligence with embedded Machine Learning techniques to generate predicted data and by analysing historical data, machine learning algorithms can determine hidden tendencies and predict when peak or unusual behaviour will occur passengers to allow transit technology to assist them with their travel patterns, giving them the same local knowledge as passengers in Abbotsbury to Zabrze and that way they remain in their comfort zone.

The Digital Railway

Making the digital revolution happen for the rail industry Dr Jenny Illingsworth, Deputy Director, Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education at University of Birmingham explores the opportunities presented by the Digital Railway

expect the concept, or at least the name, of the Digital Railway is not new to most readers. These are exciting times to digitise the UK’s railway… But what does it really mean for your company, your business, even your sector within the industry? And how can you get into digital? What are the opportunities and where can you find them? You wouldn’t be reading Rail Professional if you didn’t agree that the rail industry plays an important role in the UK economy. Backing up this opinion is an independent study, commissioned by the Rail Industry Association (RIA) in 2018, which found that the rail industry contributes over £36 billion each year to the UK economy, over 600,000 jobs in the sector and £11 billion produced annually in tax revenue. Looking forward there is an unprecedented pipeline of investment into the UK railway system, with £87 billion currently committed to rail infrastructure projects across the UK including HS2, and the national Digital Railway initiative to digitise the mainline network and invest billions of pounds during CP6 alone. Added to UK investment in rail, there is €176 billion (£157 billion) available through existing international markets, and many more new export markets are opening up. The UK leads the world in technical foresight: look at the 2012 Rail Technical Strategy (RTS) and 2017 RTS Capability Delivery Plan. Both have heavily influenced global thinking, particularly the EU Shift2Rail Programme for research and development. The challenge facing the industry is to translate these grand plans and policies for traditional academic pursuits into step-change improvements to railway operations and innovative new UKmade products. What the UK’s rail industry needs is support for business and the means to foster collaboration and innovation. Here at the University of Birmingham’s Centre for Railway Research and Education (BCRRE) we are poised to do exactly this. BCRRE is lead partner in the UK Rail Research and Innovation Network (UKRRIN); we have a portfolio of around £10 million worth of funded research projects taking place at any time; we teach the UK’s two leading postgraduate Rail Systems Masters programmes and we offer unique undergraduate degrees specialising in

railway engineering. To go alongside this traditional academic activity, BCRRE is reaching out to UK companies of all shapes and sizes with an agenda for innovation and application of ideas into the industry. The DIGI-RAIL project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and provides business and innovation support to eligible small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Birmingham & Solihull and Coventry & Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership areas. The DIGI-RAIL team of technical and business support specialists are available for general discussion, business planning, technical expertise, demonstration facilities, and access to technology providers and buyers from industry. Co-funded by the University of Birmingham, the DIGIRAIL project makes its laboratories and experts available to help with research and development, to foster partnerships and develop new digital rail products and services. Eligible SMEs can choose from a menu of support activities, from seminars and workshops through to bespoke consultations, diagnostic activities and hands-on technical assistance. Led by Professor Clive Roberts, Project Manager Louise Woodall and Business Engagement Manager Al-Amin Dabo, the Digi-Rail project has already engaged with 60 companies in the regions eligible. At the launch event in March this year, Al-Amin Dabo commented: ‘We are delighted to have launched the Digi-Rail project in March and, by working with SMEs on specific R&D challenges we anticipate seeing the development of new products, processes and services into the rail industry. This in turn will provide substantial benefit for the businesses involved through increase turnover and by creating more jobs in the sector.’ See www.birmingham.ac.uk/digi-rail for more details and how to benefit and look out for news of DIGI-RAIL in other areas of the country. What if your company is not an SME in either of these two regions? There is good news, whether your company is already doing business in the rail industry or if you are seeking to enter. In late 2018 BCRRE absorbed the activities of the Rail Alliance, the UK’s foremost trade association

Page 250 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020

and networking organisation in the rail sector. BCRRE and the Rail Alliance together aims to create the largest community in rail and offers complete supply chain solutions, from fledgling ideas right through to commercialisation. A freemium membership model opens the community to all sizes of company with access to the online community, news and open events. Community partnership comes at nominal cost and adds benefits including attendance at events, promotional opportunities and discounts at events such as Rail Live. It is these events and the opportunities for networking which makes the Rail Alliance one of the industry’s most popular associations and the Digital Railway is central to much of its forthcoming events. Look out for news about Get Into Rail (digital) and The Digital Railway Revolution events coming up in the next few months. Details will be available on www.railalliance. co.uk and follow @therailalliance on Twitter to keep up with the news. The Rail Alliance doesn’t just reach into the UK rail industry. It is the UK’s representative in the PERES project (Promoting European Railway Excellence outside of the EU) and arranged a successful trade mission to the US. It is also a core member of the European Railway Clusters Initiative (ERCI), which brings together customers, suppliers and supply chain opportunities from across Europe and the world. Demonstrating the benefit that the combined BCRRE and Rail Alliance brings to the UK, BCRRE signed cooperation agreements in May this year with the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering

The Digital Railway

at the University of Belgrade and with the Rail Cluster for South-East Europe. These agreements pave the way to open academic and business opportunities between the two regions. Spreading the digital railway message in a practical way for business planning, in June this year BCRRE hosted the third Digital Railway conference together with Network Rail’s Digital Railway group, Rail Delivery Group (RDG) and the Rail Industry Association (RIA). Themed ‘The Digital Journey: Putting Passengers (and freight)

First’, the conference addressed the digital railway from the perspective of government, Network Rail and both passenger and freight operators. It went on to look at ways to achieve the digital railway, with lessons learnt from other sectors’ experience of digital innovation means to achieve innovation in our challenging sector. See the digital railway website at www.digitalrailway. co.uk. Higher education – knowledge is power! BCRRE is the first University in the UK

to offer education as well as research, development and innovation for the digital railway. Its MSc in Railway Safety and Control Systems offers a pathway on Communications and Control which was developed in collaboration with the Institution of Railway Signalling Engineers and which emphasises the knowledge and understanding needed for digital railway control. Level 6 and Level 7 Rail and Rail Systems Engineering degree apprenticeships are now available, and autumn 2019 sees the first entrants and employers taking advantage of this opportunity, studying to BEng (level 6) and MSc (level 7) within their integrated programmes. We are using our long-standing expertise in BCRRE to take a lead in the digital transformation of our railways. The future will bring more challenges to our network and the way in which t rains operate. By driving digital innovation we can make improvements to the sector for the benefit of passengers and operators both in the UK and internationally.

The Digital Railway

Safety, management and risk tracking Advanced New Technology (ANT), have been developing web systems for the rail industry for the past five years

hrough studying their clients’ needs and challenges, ANT have been able to develop a solution to the myriad of issues and legislative requirements they face daily. ANT quickly realised that their clients needed something highly responsive but bespoke – and with a flat, standardised price. A system that could be rolled out across all employees, regardless of location, and with minimal training required. Of course, one size never fits all, so ANT worked to factor in the tweaks unique to each client. This resulted in SMARTAA. What is SMARTAA and what does it do? The Safety, Management and Risk Tracking App & Applications (SMARTAA) is a multifaceted, highly intuitive Web and App. It’s a system that does so much more than meets the eye. Industry bespoke and sector specific, it can process data for audit, health and safety, risk and security. It can used by customer-facing employees to report real time incidents, by engineers to input audit information, even by airport ground staff to flag security concerns. It is operated via a mobile device with all data feeding back live to an HQ dashboard. The mobile App syncs

with the web and desktop Apps. Above all, it is extremely easy and highly intuitive to use and tailored to whatever spec is required. Audit • standard questions can be input • easy to attach site photos • capture relevant pre-audit information • record notes as an audit takes place • simple and immediate verification of audit • logs and monitors the status of actions so you always know what is required and what’s been completed. Health & Safety • body part selector to easily report and register bodily injury • location input to log maintenance requirement – could be via QR or standard barcode • easy categorisation of incident: immediate escalation where required. Risk • matrix to assess risk levels • risk calculations based on information input. Security • real-time reporting of security risks • immediate escalation as required • specific security tour routes for different sites. SMARTAA Pocket Coach As well as being a business reporting tool, SMARTAA is essentially a handheld and portable corporate intranet. It gives all employees access to the documentation they need to carry out their tasks and encourages sharing of documents, photos and

information. It is easy for HQ to check that the right people have the right tools and also that they are using them when they should. It allows for engagement of staff because everything they need is at their fingertips and they can feedback to encourage interaction and improvements.

Don’t just take our word for it... ‘We have eleven tools and applications combined into one single App with the successful data integration into an existing back office system. The system surpassed all expectations in terms of delivery date, innovative scope, system robustness and user experience at all levels.’ MTR Crossrail ‘The easy to use staff APP/web-system has allowed us to easily audit items that have been found and our match rate has increased by six per cent. As the system is automated, we have also seen a 52 per cent reduction in calls to the team. ANT were easy to work with and the system was tailored to our own requirements – pleased to do business with them.’ East Midlands Trains

Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2020 Page 253

The Digital Railway

How can SMARTAA help your business? One of SMARTAA’s many features is that everything is contained within one system. No lengthy paperwork to complete only to lose or forget. Straightforward options for users, chosen carefully to match your business’s needs. An easy to follow and complete electronic trail, clearly showing each process step and the people involved. In all, a timesaving, user-friendly and highly cost-effective tool to streamline business processes. Consolidating this information means all the details are at your fingertips should you need to look over previous reports. There are straightforward options for users, tailored to match your business’s needs. SMARTAA for the rail industry SMARTAA has already been successfully adopted in this sector. Some of the train operators we work with are Southern, MTR Crossrail and Freightliner. We are RISQS verified and in 2019 we won Safety Initiative of the Year for our partnership with MTR Crossrail. We created a truly bespoke App for MTR Crossrail, aimed at improving their safety record, which we achieved through an increase in report (198 per cent), greater reporting of Close Call events (four times as much) and, importantly, a reduction

in accidents. For any train operator, SMARTAA saves time through comprehensive auditing features, greater quality checks and evaluations, reduced admin time, superior GDPR, HSE and SMIS+ compliance. A comprehensive and custom reporting Web and App System At the heart of SMARTAA is a powerful web system containing additional corporate requirements i.e. Action Tracking Dashboards and Dynamic Reporting modules, all designed to provide a time-saving solution to your business. A few examples of modules included in our system are: • close call reporting • accident reporting • suicide intervention reporting • assault reporting • station safety tours • staff suggestions • environmental reporting.

Your custom web system built to your company’s requirements 1. Unique setup module – this enables ANT to setup your custom application to match your requirements in less than two days. It is an intelligent system that asks questions based on the previous answers given. 2. Multiple applications – multiple applications can be set up, resulting in all your key requirements being in one single system. The password module can restrict what users can see and do individually for each application. 3. Four level applications – split the applications to different levels of staff. For example, an accident record can have the settings User Event Entry, Local Manager Verify, Investigation and Close Off. 4. Action dashboard – actions can be created for all applications. The dashboard shows the status of the actions for each application and overall, split by months and responsible person. The status can be defined by a host of criteria from Outstanding/ Complete/By location and more. 5. Three stage reporting – produce graphs, reports and excel sheets in 3 easy steps. Once you have your top-level graph, save it as a template and use it repeatedly. Each time you use it you can add different criteria to produce a variation of graphs, such as adding accident by gender etc. 6. Compass and CAFM – our complete system also allows interface with Compass, CAFM or any other systems that have an API. Minimal disruption to your business We understand implementing a new system can be disruptive to a business, therefore being quick and efficient is crucial. When working with ANT, you can be confident in minimal disruption, with typical projects finished in three months, you will then be given a comprehensive training program to give you the tools to use your system effectively. And unlike other development companies, you will benefit from no additional charges for changes of lookups or other data. Tel: 01825 713 058 Email: smartaa@a-n-t.com Visit: www.a-n-t.com

Redi-Rock™ modular walling Since the Infrarail show began in 1994 it has been a highlight on the rail sector calendar

longside the Railtex show, Infrarail is firmly established for highlighting railway infrastructure, technology and expertise, which is why Marshalls CPM will be displaying our RediRock™ modular walling solution at Olympia in London this May. The ‘big block’ option offers time savings, as well as cost savings and is available in three different finishes and has been used throughout the rail industry on projects such as Manchester Metro and the £87 million contract for the design and build of the Chiltern Railways route between London Marylebone and Oxford. This involved the widening of the existing track bed and building a new one-kilometre section of railway. With fast installation and a natural Cobblestone look of the concrete block appealing to the contractor. Dean and Dyball first used Redi-Rock™ walling on the Blackboy Tunnel/Exmouth Junction project, where a section in a cutting, approximately 20 metres long required stabilising for Network Rail. The cutting had suffered from several small slips and was collapsing onto the S and T through route. The Marshalls CPM modular block retaining wall was designed to replace this

arrangement, using an installation gang of three men and an excavator (with an operator), the blocks were transferred to the worksite by a Road Railer towing a trailer, under the supervision of a Machine Controller and excavated material was removed from site using the same resource. One of the three-man gang was tasked to act as a slinger and the Redi-Rock™ blocks were collected from the trailer and placed directly onto the compacted lean-mix concrete foundation by the excavator, the work was completed during the night-time possessions, with less than a four-hour working window. The location for the retaining wall also suffered from ingress of water from natural springs and fissures in the rock. Due to the nature of the mass concrete blocks, temporary control of the water was easily dealt with by forcing the water around the blocks to the existing track drainage by forming small bunds. The design called for a second wall constructed behind the main wall with a small void between the two walls, which was filled with concrete. This greatly reduced the volume of loose material which would require compacting, thus enabling the works to be completed within the planned possession programme.

Since this first project, the concrete block system has been used on extensively on other Network Rail projects, due to its strength and earth retaining capabilities, keeping both the train and track safe whilst offering a pleasant viewing experience for passengers. John O’Gara, Steve Callow and Louise Chouhan-Hodges will be on stand E50 at Infrarail 2020 so why not stop by and ask how the aesthetically pleasing, BBA approved, Redi-Rock™ modular walling can offer more land take and save space on your project.

Fast-forward twelve years and the company now employs 300 people, has offices in London, Manchester, Bristol and Doncaster and works throughout the UK and Ireland focusing on infrastructure projects, well established within the railway, airports and power sectors. A key to the success is the company’s ability to build strong, long-lasting partnerships with its clients, producing an efficient, safe and quality product throughout the project cycle. The highly skilled teams have the knowledge to support

the broad spectrum of transport networks keeping passengers and freight on the move. Values Pod-Trak is committed to outstanding performance, basing all its work to a set of core values, which are adopted and promoted across the company. It underpins the way in which they conduct business, interact with stakeholders and operate as individuals or teams within the organisation. The values are: • Excellence – be exceptional in everything they do. Safely delivering quality results, first time. • Trust – open and transparent.

Thinking outside the box Safety is at the heart of everything within Pod-Trak – making sure staff are well trained and looking for innovative ways to improve procedures and working conditions. Making sure everyone arrives home safely every day is the company’s number one priority. This includes ‘The Pod’ app, which continues to be developed and expanded – this year seeing the launch of two more mini apps covering Take 5 and Site Inspections. The aim is to make sites safer by raising close calls – giving staff the opportunity to report close and good calls. The close call app simplifies and streamlines the reporting process into one simple form on screen. Staff can fill in basic details and input a description of the good call, incident or hazard, with the option to add a photo. Once submitted, the report is sent to a central point and the HSQE team is notified. It shows the company’s commitment to report unsafe situations, actions and behaviours which have the potential to

0845 450 4190

cause harm, which is key to reducing and eliminating accidents at work. Collaborative working The Pod-Trak team work to the principles of ISO44001, the nationally recognised collaborative working standard. This is reflected in the very good feedback that the company receives for its project planning and delivery and is the reason that so many companies are making Pod-Trak their supply chain partner of choice. This is a business that is going places and has a strong reputation for consistently delivering safely and delivering incredibly well.

Concrete barriers providing vital flood relief Elite Precast Concrete Ltd was approached by a major UK client to see if it had a quick and effective solution to prevent rising flood waters engulfing a Cotswold village near Whitney in Oxfordshire

fter reviewing their extensive range of ‘off the shelf’ products Elite and the client decided that the TVCBs (Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers) might just fit the bill. Each barrier is three metres long, 450mm wide and 800mm high. They are heavily steel reinforced, cast from high strength (50N/mm2) concrete and each one weighs 2,500kgs. The TVCBs are also designed to be bolted

together if required making them incredibly robust under lateral impact. The next challenge was the logistics of getting enough barriers (over 200 were required) to the project site before the flood waters struck. One of Elite Precast Concrete’s specialities is being able to react quickly to client’s requirements and so they were able to immediately confirm that they had the barriers available and transport on hand to get them to exactly where they

were needed. Less than 24 hours later 200 TVCB’s had been delivered and placed into position, bolted together and lined with heavy duty plastic tanking to render them impervious to the quickly rising flood waters. Once the immediate danger had passed the Environment Agency were able to recommission the barriers and design a more permanent solution. Elite Precast Concrete Ltd was founded in 2008 and supply a wide range of products for use in a huge variety of sectors throughout the UK.

Women in Rail

What does inclusion really mean? Adeline Ginn MBE, Founder and Chair of Women in Rail asks the question at a time when we are celebrating National Inclusion Week

n 2013, Inclusive Employers launched National Inclusion Week, an annual campaign to raise awareness on the importance of inclusion in the workplace and the business benefits of having a diverse workforce. To date, over 400 organisations have taken part, reaching far over one million employees. National Inclusion Week took place on 23rd to 29th September 2019. Women in Rail proactively supported this initiative by organising events across the country through its eight regional groups, highlighting the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to improving gender balance, diversity and inclusion in UK rail. There is an overwhelming case for taking action. Diversity is modern Britain and a fact of life in the UK. Rail must embrace it if it is to perform to peak efficiency. Diversity and inclusion is not just about fairness; it is also about better decision making and economic performance. Studies have shown that organisations which have access to the skills, knowledge and insight of people from all parts of our society and promote an inclusive culture perform better: employees are more engaged, more productive and have higher levels of psychological wellbeingÂ and resilience. There are plenty of practical steps that can be taken by employers committed to being more diverse and inclusive. A positive approach to diversity and inclusion must be stitched-in at the deepest and highest level of the organisation. This means taking proactive steps to build and embed an inclusive culture; create, at all grades and roles, a workforce comprising different styles, skills and backgrounds; provide more opportunity to

protected groups, promote social mobility and manage talent to maximise potential. But if we are to achieve greater diversity and inclusion, we also need to be more open about the factors that get in the way, such as our own bias. Everyone is prone to bias, conscious and unconscious and acceptance that each of us is biased, and need to work on this, is the most important step we can take. It has been reported that bias, especially in leaders, can lead to groupthink and the creation, or the maintenance, of a culture in which certain categories of people are less likely to feel fairly treated, valued and able to take part in the organisation. Inclusion is about how people behave. The ability of an organisation or industry to self-reflect is a sign of how healthy it truly is. Examples of action The civil service has done amazing work. It has introduced generous terms for shared parental leave, reviewed its recruitment process, improved the talent pipelines, created more opportunities for staff from under-represented groups, introduced a workplace Disability Passport to make life easier for those with adjustment needs and conducted widespread unconscious bias training. Rail needs to give diversity and inclusion the highest priority. It is by being truly representative of the public we serve that we will retain and attract talent, close the skills gap and perform at peak efficiency. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work together to make this happen. Adeline Ginn was awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours list 2020 for services to the rail industry.

Rail Delivery Group

Rail Delivery Group Born out of privatisation, the Rail Delivery Group provides strategic and tactical services for the whole rail industry

n 1993 ATOC (Association of Train Operating Companies) was set up to bring together all train companies to preserve and enhance the benefits for passengers of Britain’s national rail network. In 2011, it was joined by the Rail Delivery Group and five years later, the two bodies merged to become one organisation, known as Rail Delivery Group. Overall goal RDG brings together all passenger and freight operators with Network Rail and HS2 to provide oversight of all activities delivered by the organisation on behalf of its members. It provides governance in relation to the voice for the railway as a whole and also for passenger and/or freight operators separately on industry issues. Vision in action Independent data shows that Britain’s railway is one of the safest and most intensively used rail networks in the world. RDG’s vision is of a system operated by a number of organisations with clearly defined roles that work closely together to deliver a successful railway for passengers, freight customers and the public. Passenger and freight services are provided by train companies which operate over infrastructure provided by Network Rail. These organisations collaboratively deliver the timetable and customer service. Through the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), they also develop strategies and plans to

improve the railway. The strategy element of this comes from the appropriately named Strategic Boards which bridge the gap between the RDG vision for the industry and how that vision is delivered by the industry. They have been formed to give line of sight, alignment, and joining up of activities for all the groups charted to them. They also provide a point of escalation that can determine between competing priorities and, if needed, can give direction to their charted groups. Membership The train companies and infrastructure

provider are serviced by a large and specialist supply chain who provide everything from new trains to signalling systems and catering services. Members of RDG and RSG also work with Rail Safety & Standards Board (RSSB). RSSB supports the industry to help rail companies achieve their objectives particularly in regard to efficiency and safety. RSSB is independent, works across the whole rail network and facilitates cross industry collaboration. The RDG membership comprises the passenger train operators and their owning groups, freight operators and Network Rail.

Railway Industry Association

Railway Industry Association The Railway Industry Association (RIA) is the voice of the UK rail supply community

IA helps to grow a sustainable, high-performing, railway supply industry, and to export UK rail expertise and products abroad. It promotes and represent its members’ interests to policy makers, clients and other stakeholders in the UK and overseas. RIA has 240+ companies in membership in a sector that contributes £36 billion in economic growth and £11 billion in tax revenue each year, as well as employing 600,000 people – more than the workforce of Birmingham. It is also a growing industry with the number of rail journeys expected to double over the next 25 years and freight set to grow significantly too. RIA’s membership is active across the whole of railway supply, covering a diverse range of products and services and including both multi-national companies and SMEs (60 per cent by number). RIA works to promote the importance of the rail system to UK plc, to help export UK expertise around the globe and to share best practice and innovation across the industry. Background The Railway Industry Association can claim to be almost as old as rail itself. In 1875, a number of independent steam locomotive builders grouped together to petition Parliament. They won their case and decided

that it would be valuable to create a formal body for their mutual benefit. It was first known as the Locomotive Manufacturers Association of Great Britain and proved to be very effective in promoting its members’ interests, both at home and overseas, and in such areas as coordinating development of technical standards. Membership was widened to include manufacturers of all forms of rolling stock, including components suppliers, with a change of name to the Locomotive and Allied Manufacturers Association in 1957. Finally, the change to the Railway Industry Association was completed in 1971 with the inclusion of all parts of the railway supply industry. With the break-up and privatisation of British Rail in the 1990s, many of the resulting supply-side companies joined RIA as they moved into the private sector. Membership Its membership is active across the whole range of railway supply – including infrastructure, rolling stock, signalling, and consultancy – and incorporates many skills and resources which were previously part of the national railway undertaking but which now operate commercially in the private sector. RIA members represent the greater

part of the UK railway supply industry by turnover. Most large firms are members, as well as a wide range of smaller companies. Services RIA provides its members with extensive services, including the provision of technical, commercial and political information every week. It also represents the supply industry’s interests to the Government, Network Rail and others. As with most groups with large and diverse memberships, the main advantage of membership is the opportunity for dialogue and networking between members. RIA also lobbies Government for sectoral growth and has a keen interest in promoting UK rail around the world. It does this by exporting promotional activity through briefings and visits overseas as well as hosting inwards visits. It also organises a UK presence at exhibitions overseas. Contact For more information, you can contact Monica Barbosa in the Membership team, at RIA@riagb.org.uk and on 020 7201 0777.
