Foreword

Rail in 2022: between challenges and opportunities

n a year bookended by rising Covid cases and falling train passenger numbers, it would be easy to dismiss 2021 as a groundhog year for the rail industry. Ian Fitzpatrick, CEO and Principal of the National College for Advanced Transport & Infrastructure, looks back on the year as a catalyst for levelling up in 2022. For the rail sector, 2021 did not get off to an especially auspicious start: new Covid-19 rules in January instructed people to work from home wherever possible, and passenger use of national rail was down to 17 per cent of normal levels. A year later, and passenger rail usage continues to be affected, with research from the industry body Rail Delivery Group (RDG) showing that even in October the number of railway journeys was just 45 per cent of what it was before the coronavirus crisis – and these figures are likely to fall again due to recently renewed focus on remote working. No one could argue, then, that 2021 wasn’t a challenging year for rail; nor would it seem imprudent to predict that 2022 will be equally challenging. However, to paraphrase the old adage: ‘every challenge is an opportunity in disguise’, and the past year has brought in opportunities by the trainload. After all, as summarised in the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail published back in May: ‘The pandemic has forced everyone in the sector to confront the reality of the railways’ problems and made it impossible to delay or shrink from reform.’ Setting the stage for change The nature of this reform was outlined in the abovementioned Plan for Rail, seen by many as the biggest shake-up of the UK rail industry in 25 years with its announcement of a new public body named Great British Railways, to replace the rail franchising system in effect since 1996. Welcomed by some in the industry, and met with reservation by others, the new plan clearly demonstrates that the government’s investment in the sector is long-term. This investment was confirmed in October as part of the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget and Spending Review, which committed to delivering ‘over £35 billion of rail investment including High Speed Two, rail enhancements and vital renewals to improve passenger journeys and connectivity across the country – focusing on the Midlands and the North’. In addition to this settlement, the government will continue to progress with its £500 million promise to restore transport links previously lost in the Beeching cuts of the 1960s. This is great news for the communities in question, demonstrating a commitment to regional investment in England that lies at the heart of the National College for Advanced Transport & Infrastructure (NCATI), and its two campuses in Birmingham and Doncaster.

This regional investment took a turn for the controversial in November, with the publication of the long-awaited Integrated Rail Plan. Headlines focused largely on the axing of the eastern leg of HS2 and the scaling back of the Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) project, which understandably have drawn some criticism from regional leaders and industry figures in the north. There was praise, however, from others, including Chairman Sir John Peace of the regional trade body Midlands Connect: ‘Although these plans are different in some respects to what we’d expected, there are a lot of positives in here and lots of things to be excited about – a new high-speed connection between Birmingham and East Midlands Parkway, direct links onto HS2 for Derby, Nottingham, and Chesterfield and a commitment to the Midlands Rail Hub.’ Opportunities for levelling up When considering the plan in full, I would echo Sir John’s positivity: rather than reneging on commitments to level up, the Integrated Rail Plan proposes a series of improvements to existing infrastructure, meaning the country can level up almost a decade sooner and across more communities. To use an example close to NCATI’s heart: under earlier plans, smaller towns on existing main lines such as Doncaster would have seen little improvement and even their services cut back; under this latest programme of upgrades, the East Coast Main Line from York to London will see track improvements, higher speeds, and digital signalling ‘to slash journey times’. This is a big win for Doncaster, and for the South Yorkshire region as a whole; it also highlights the urgency with which our country’s skills gaps and shortages will need to be addressed if we want improvements like these to take shape. After all, these improvements – and the government’s rail modernisation plans more broadly – will require skilled engineers much sooner, and across more varying skillsets and locations, than if the focus was purely on supporting new high-speed rail projects. NCATI’s mission is threefold, aiming to deliver the skilled workforce of tomorrow by: encouraging more people into the rail sector to address skills shortages; offering them varied pathways to address skills gaps; and developing a truly ‘National’ College that provides higher-level training across the country. The developments of 2021 and the opportunities they present for levelling up in 2022 and beyond therefore make NCATI’s mission all the more urgent and vital, and highlight the ever-greater need for industry peers to support us in this mission. Supporting the new NCATI Having relaunched in 2021 as part of the University of Birmingham group, NCATI has in the last year undergone some changes in leadership. With a new balance of industry and education experience, we can ensure that the courses we offer to aspiring engineers are directly linked to what employers in the sector need to deliver rail projects now and in the future. Under its new leadership, NCATI now gets a second chance to forge successful partnerships with organisations across the rail sector, and to make sure that these partnerships help provide the skilled workforce of the future with the right equipment, the right courses, and the right career opportunities. If you’re interested in engaging with us or finding out more about the work we do, please get in touch – we’re always happy to help, and would really welcome your support in addressing the sector’s skills challenges in 2022 and the years ahead. You can find further details on page 278 and contact us on 0330 120 0375 or enquiries@ncati.ac.uk. 5

Government and Regulatory

Department for Transport The Department for Transport provides strategic direction and funding to the railways in England and Wales and buys rail franchises and projects. Their work is directed and overseen by the Secretary of State for Transport and their team

he 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 Baroness Vere are both directly involved in rail. The DfT rail portfolio is organised into three separate groups: • Rail Strategy and Services Group • Rail Infrastructure Group • High Speed Rail Group Rail Strategy and Services Group The Rail Strategy and Services Group is led by Conrad Bailey, who oversees:

• Developing strategy and policy for the rail sector in the context of broader government policy • Managing the department’s overall expenditure on rail services and infrastructure • Ensuring delivery of major projects and programmes including the: • £5.7 billion Intercity Express Programme • £7 billion Thameslink programme • £14.8 billion Crossrail programme (jointly with Transport for London) • Delivering the ongoing programme of rail franchises • Effective sponsorship of: British Transport Police, Network Rail, Office of Rail and Road, Rail Accidents Investigation Branch, Transport Focus Rail Infrastructure Group The Rail Infrastructure Group is led by David Hughes. This portfolio includes Northern Powerhouse Rail and the Integrated Rail Plan, the Transpennine Route Upgrade, Restoring Your Railway, other Network Rail enhancements, East West Rail and Crossrail. High Speed Rail Group The High Speed Rail Group is led by Clive Maxwell who is the senior responsible owner and sponsor for the High Speed 2 programme and is responsible at executive committee level for the department’s work on a number of other major rail projects. These projects include East West Rail, Northern Powerhouse Rail and Crossrail 2. He is a member of the department’s executive committee and board. 6

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 the ScotRail and Caledonian Sleeper franchises as well as planning and delivering rail policy, strategy and development in Scotland

he Transport Scotland 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 £9 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. • 16 new stations. Franchises ScotRail services will move into Scottish Government ownership when the ScotRail franchise ends, currently expected to be in March 2022. The services will be provided within the public sector, by an arm’s length company owned and controlled by the Scottish Government. This is a result of the Scottish Government’s decision to run ScotRail services through what is known as the ‘Operator of Last Resort’. ScotRail staff will transfer to the new Scottish Government owned entity, with their terms and conditions protected. National Transport Strategy Transport 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. 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 Transport for Wales (TfW) was set up by Welsh Government in 2016 to oversee public transport in Wales

Stadler Rail An extensive programme of testing and commissioning is being carried out on one of the two Stadler built trains, which made maiden voyages into Canton depot, Cardiff in late November 2021.

he Transport for Wales Board is made up of the Chair, Chief Executive, four independent non-executives and two executive members. Its role is to provide effective leadership for TfW, monitor performance and promote high standards of public finance. 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. This will create more than six hundred new jobs, including two hundred new ontrain customer service staff, and add thirty apprenticeships per year. 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’ was made available in 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.

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 three-quarters of a billion pounds 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.

New Metros The South Wales Metro is an integrated public transport network for the Cardiff Capital Region which will involve electrifying around 170 kilometres of track, upgrading stations and signalling and building at least five new stations. TfW is investing £800 million in new faster, greener trains for the South Wales Metro and the Wales and Borders rail service. The Swansea Bay Metro will transform public transport in the Swansea Bay area, TfW will be introducing new trains on services through the Swansea Bay area, increasing capacity on services to West Wales and between South West Wales and Manchester. From 2024, TfW will be introducing a first-class service between Swansea and Manchester on their new trains.

Department for Infrastructure (An Roinn Bonneagair) The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) was formed in May 2016 and operates under the direction and control of the Minister for Infrastructure

fI is staffed by civil servants who are accountable to the Minister for Infrastructure. The Minister is a member of the Northern Ireland Executive and accountable to the Northern Ireland Assembly. The Departmental Permanent Secretary, Katrina Godfrey, is the Accounting Officer for DfI and the Minister’s principal adviser. Katrina Godfrey chairs the Departmental Board, which directs the delivery of Corporate Governance within the Department. Details of 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 non-executive, independent members. The Department provides capital and revenue grant funding 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 carries out the governance function of Translink on behalf of DfI and monitors spend of the grant allocated to Translink against plans, 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 2014/15 to 2020/21, the Department has funded over £360 million of capital works on the railways here. The major projects recently completed include: • North West Multi Modal Transport Hub • New Portrush Train Station • Knockmore to Lurgan Ballast Rehabilitation • Lurgan Area Track Renewal The Department has responsibility for the licensing, safety certification and safety authorisations of all mainline, light railways and heritage railways operating in Northern Ireland in exercise of the powers

conferred on it under the Railway Safety Act (Northern Ireland) 2002. The Department regulates railway safety to ensure all Railway Undertakings, Infrastructure Managers and heritage rail operators comply with regulatory duties to provide a safe rail network. In addition, the Department is the Competent Authority for assessing compliance with technical standard on the rail network. The Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company The Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company (NITHC) is a public corporation and its responsibilities include holding and managing property assets and the oversight, in terms of support, control and supervision, of its private limited subsidiary companies, the principal ones being Ulsterbus, Metro (previously Citybus) and Northern Ireland Railways, trading jointly as Translink. It is expected to operate commercially and has a duty to operate in line with Ministerial policy. The chairman and other directors of the Holding Company shall be appointed from among persons who appear to the Minister to have had wide experience of, and to have shown capacity in, transport, industrial, commercial or financial matters or to have other adequate or suitable experience, and the Minister in appointing them shall have regard to the desirability of including among them persons who are directors of, or concerned in the management of, the subsidiaries of the Holding Company. Travel Survey 2017-2019 In July 2021 the Analysis, Statistics and Research Branch (ASRB) of the Department for Infrastructure published The Travel Survey for Northern Ireland (TSNI) In-depth Report, containing statistics for 2017-2019. The key points for 2017-2019 are: • In 2017-2019, 71 per cent of all journeys were made by car, 18 per cent by walking, five per cent by public transport (Ulsterbus, Metro, Other Bus, Northern Ireland Railways, Black Taxi) and one per cent by cycling, similar to ten years ago. • Around one third of all journeys were less than two miles long. Just under one

half of these journeys were on foot and a similar proportion were by car. The car was the dominant mode of transport for journeys of two miles and over. • Just under one sixth of all respondents travelled on a bus once a week or more. Around one in 30 of all respondents travelled on a train once a week or more.

Transport for the North Transport for the North is the country’s first Sub-national Transport Body, formed to transform the transport system across the North of England, providing the infrastructure needed to drive economic growth

ransport for the North became England’s first Sub-national Transport Body in April 2018, bringing together the North’s 20 Local Transport Authorities and eleven Local Enterprise Partnerships to enable the North to speak with one voice on the transport infrastructure investment needed to drive transformational growth and rebalance the UK economy. Strategic Rail The Strategic Rail programme is key to ensuring the synergies between the North’s classic rail network, the Northern Powerhouse Rail programme, together with HS2 Phase 2b and Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU), through the Integrated Rail Programme (IRP), are fully optimised. In operational terms, the programme partners with the Department for Transport in overseeing and managing the region’s biggest rail operators – Northern Trains Limited and TransPennine Express. The Rail North Partnership, informed by the advice and guidance of the Rail North Committee and the Department for Transport, oversees and manages the performance and delivery targets of these operators and works to ensure they are both fit for purpose and future-proofed. In 2020, with the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, the above work took on a special significance as both regional and national government effectively took control of the operators to ensure they could both meet national needs in providing essential transport links and have some protection against the economic effects of the pandemic. Rail recovery is now a key focus for the programme. The Northern and TransPennine Express rail services run through 25 local authority areas, including the 20 authorities that sit on the Partnership Board of Transport for the North. We engage regularly with representatives from all 25 authorities through our Rail Officer Reference Group. Northern Powerhouse Rail Northern Powerhouse Rail is a major strategic rail programme that will deliver radical improvements to train service frequencies and journey times, to better connect the key economic areas in the North

of England. Delivered over a phased 30-year period, the programme will transform eastwest rail travel across the region to enhance connectivity, capacity and reliability. By linking the east and west of the North, as well as linking with HS2, Northern Powerhouse Rail will deliver vastly improved regional rail connections, providing modern, high-speed, low-carbon services which will improve the passenger experience, and encourage a modal shift from cars to trains, contributing greatly to the decarbonisation agenda. Northern Powerhouse Rail will also release capacity in the existing rail network, supporting improvements in the local and freight services on which much of the region depends, as well as improving connectivity to international gateways including Manchester Airport. The programme will connect the major urban centres of the North, and under-served communities, to generate opportunity, attract investment, create jobs and move the North towards a more integrated economy that will ‘level-up’ the region and boost UK productivity The North’s economy will flourish with proper investment. Regional strengths in advanced manufacturing and research have already attracted investment from Boeing in Sheffield and Siemens in Goole, while recent announcements of the new UK Infrastructure Bank in Leeds and ‘Treasury North’ in Darlington, as well as the announcement of three freeports in the region in the 2021 budget, show confidence and ambition for the North. To maximise and expand upon this ambition, the North’s creaking rail infrastructure must be improved. Covid-19 hit the North especially hard, in part because the economy and industry of the region didn’t allow as many people to work remotely during the pandemic in comparison to the rest of the country. There is a strong case to invest in Northern transport infrastructure, with the North less affected by potential changes to future working patterns, as has been shown with high numbers of passengers returning to rail post-pandemic. Ultimately, Northern Powerhouse Rail - delivered in full alongside HS2 and the Transpennine Route Upgrade – will define the North’s economic prosperity for the rest

of this century, boosting jobs and growth, while also playing a significant role in reducing carbon emissions in the region and delivering tangible transformational benefits to people and business. Stay in touch Transport for the North produces a regular podcast on all things transport and the Northern Powerhouse, covering topics such as devolution, levelling up, economic growth, productivity, investment and more. It is available via the TfN website and on Spotify and Soundcloud. The All Points North e-newsletter highlights the top stories each week – sign up via the TfN website.

Transport for London Transport for London (TfL) is the integrated transport authority responsible for delivering the Mayor of London’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. TfL Rail 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. 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. On 20 September 2021, TfL opened the new extension to the Northern Line from Kennington to Battersea Power Station. The extension took seven years to build and is a vital part of enabling regeneration across the Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea Opportunity Area. The two stations at Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station are connected with three kilometres of new twin-tunnel railways. Journey times from the new stations to the West End of the City will be approximately 15 minutes, and the stations are set to unlock 25,000 jobs and 20,000 new homes. The extension project also boasts an impressive benefit to cost ratio of 16

at least eight to one, truly representing one of the most successful examples of Transit Oriented Development (TOD). 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 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. 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. 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.

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) Formed on 1 April 2011, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority is run jointly by the leaders of the ten councils and the Mayor of Greater Manchester

ver the last decade several devolution agreements have been 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 GMCA is run jointly by the leaders of the ten councils and the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham. 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. GMCA coordinates transport services through the public body Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM).

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is 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 nonconstituent authorities/councils and one observer council, as well as the Mayor of the West Midlands. The transport arm of the WMCA is Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) which coordinates investment to improve the region’s transport infrastructure and create a fully integrated, safe and secure network. It is also responsible for assessing and planning for the region’s future transport needs so the network can meet the demands of businesses and a growing population. The expansion of the Midland Metro tram system is just one of the many projects that TfWM is delivering to help meet those future needs. Midlands Rail Hub The Midlands Rail Hub is a £2 billion package

of improvements to transform east-west rail connections. The project was awarded £20 million in the March 2020 Budget to develop the scheme to outline business case. The plans outline a programme of new and upgraded infrastructure that will be implemented in phases between now and 2033. It will strengthen rail links between Leicester, Nottingham, Coventry, Derby, Hereford and Worcester, improve services to Wales and the South West and allow more people to access HS2. 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 ‘plugin’ 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.

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT)

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 twelve 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. 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. In March 2021 the Chair and Vice-Chairs of SPT presented a proposal to evolve SPT into ‘Transport for Strathclyde’, a more powerful authority in control of one network across the region. It called for a new parliamentary Bill to empower the body and a ‘public transport social contract’ with the public which guarantees access to work, health, education and recreation – ‘without breaking the bank or planet’. 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 16 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.

North East Combined Authority The NECA is the legal body that brings together the seven councils of County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside and Sunderland

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.

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) SubCommittee.

Image credit: NEXUS

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. From that date the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Area was dissolved. NEXUS manages the 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

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. Metro The Tyne and Wear Metro serves Newcastle upon 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. North East transforming cities fund bid In March 2018 the Department for Transport (DFT) launched a Call for Proposals for city region authorities wishing to obtain capital funding from its Transforming Cities Fund (TCF). On 28 November 2019 the North East region submitted an ambitious and integrated programme of capital investments to the Department for Transport, seeking funding from the Transforming Cities Fund. The region’s programme envisages a £467 million investment in public transport, sustainable transport and supporting capital investment. The programme as a whole represents high value for money – its economic benefits outweigh the costs of investment by a ratio of 3:1 – and can be delivered by 2023.

ore than 5.6 million journeys are made across Greater Manchester’s transport network each day. TfGM coordinates transport networks across the region, decides where to invest transport funding, and owns and runs the Metrolink tram service. It builds and manages bus stations and transport interchanges, provides travel planning and timetable information to passengers, and promotes walking and cycling as safe and healthy choices. The Greater Manchester rail network is now used by around forty million

passengers a year. This is an increase of thirty per cent over the past decade and TfGM has an influential voice in developing the best possible rail services in Greater Manchester. TfGM assets include 99 Metrolink stops across the light rail network, 120 tram vehicles, 15 Park & Ride sites, 20 Free Buses, over 15 transport interchanges and many other properties. In 2021, TfGM marked ten years since its inception after a reform of local government in Greater Manchester granted the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive

(GMPTE) more powers and led to a rebranding. Since the rebranding, TfGM has delivered many high profile and successful projects and schemes, including: • The £1.5 billion ‘Phase Three’ Metrolink expansion between 2010 and 2015, which saw new lines through dozens of local communities, with extensions to Rochdale via Oldham, Ashton-under-Lyne, East Didsbury and Manchester Airport. • The £350 million Trafford Park line in March 2020, adding a further 5.5km of track and six new stops to serve one of the region’s major employment, leisure and retail destinations. • New transport interchanges in Rochdale, Ashton, Altrincham, Wythenshawe and Bolton, while Radcliffe and Wigan now enjoy new, state-of-the-art bus stations. • The award-winning £122 million Leigh to Ellenbrook Guided Busway in April 2016 which, prior to the pandemic, required extra services to help cope with demand. • The delivery of the first 55 miles of safe cycling and walking routes by the end of 2021, with plenty more schemes in the pipeline for delivery as part of the Bee Network, a plan for the UK’s largest cycling and walking network. • The TravelSafe Partnership – a multiagency body led by TfGM and Greater Manchester Police, that takes an intelligence-lead, problem-solving approach to tackling crime and ASB on public transport.

Office of Rail and Road The Office of Rail and Road is a non-ministerial government department and is the independent economic and safety regulator for Britain’s railway.

he Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is responsible for protecting the interests of rail users now and in the future. ORR does this by holding Network Rail (and in future Great British Railways) to account and keeping the railway safe by regulating the rail industry’s health and safety performance. It also holds HighSpeed1 Ltd (HS1) to account and makes sure that the rail industry is competitive and fair. ORR is also the monitor of National Highways and ORR has economic regulatory functions in relation to railways in Northern Ireland and the UK section of the Channel Tunnel.

ORR IN BRIEF: ORR regulates Network Rail including setting the targets it must achieve and reporting regularly on its performance. ORR also regulates health and safety standards and compliance across the whole rail industry. It oversees competition and consumer rights issues – driving a better deal for rail passengers and taxpayers. ORR regulates the HighSpeed1 link to the Channel Tunnel. ORR is the monitor of National Highways’ performance and efficiency against government set targets.

Keeping Britain’s railway safe Britain has one of the safest railways in Europe for passengers and workers. With more than 100 HM Railway Inspectors dedicated to keeping every railway safe – from the mainline network, London Underground to light rail, trams, and the heritage sector – ORR works with the rail industry to identify, assess, and manage safety issues. Inspectors are out on the network every day ensuring all train and freight operating companies and Network Rail manage passenger and workforce health and safety risks appropriately. ORR also offers advice, guidance and conducts research to promote continuous improvement. ORR’s inspectors carry out investigations into breaches of health and safety law on the railway and take both informal and formal enforcement action, and as a last resort, ORR can prosecute a company for health and safety failings when things go wrong. Holding Network Rail and HS1 to account The railway network needs to be run for the benefit of the whole country. ORR oversees Network Rail (and in future Great British Railways), holding it to account for its performance and service – overseeing whether it is delivering value for money – for passengers, the freight industry, and taxpayers. As part of this, ORR monitors Network Rail’s train punctuality performance and upkeep of rail assets. ORR is also responsible for determining operator access when disputes arise between Network Rail and operators. As outlined in the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail, the role of Network Rail is changing through rail reform. ORR’s role will adapt to reflect these changes and ensure ORR remains a strong independent body overseeing Great British Railways. This is essential to maintaining accountability, transparency, and efficiency across the network. ORR also holds HS1 to account for the performance of its railway for train services, upkeep of the network and that it meets its efficiency targets. ORR is working with the French rail regulator Autorité de Régulation des Activités Ferroviaires (ARAF) to promote competition, full transparency, and fair access to the Channel Tunnel. ORR works to ensure that rail markets are

competitive and fair – for passengers, freight customers, railway operators and taxpayers. ORR does this by integrating its economic, competition and consumer functions and powers. ORR and consumers For consumers, ORR has a key role to improve the rail passenger experience for which it has regulatory responsibility, taking prompt and effective action to improve the service that passengers receive where it is required. ORR also sets guidance on the standards train and station operators must meet on assisted travel, ensure train companies provide accurate and timely information, particularly during disruption, et complaint handling procedures and monitor train and station operators against these. Independent publication of railway data As the accredited primary provider of railway industry official statistics, ORR publishes a range of statistics, including railway performance, rail usage (both passenger and freight) and safety. This open data and information about the rail industry promotes transparency and a better understanding of Britain’s railway. The trustworthiness, quality and value of ORR statistics are overseen by the UK Statistics Authority’s regulatory arm – the Office for Statistics Regulation.

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. Sustainable Rail Executive (SRE) by RSSB The SRE is a pan-industry group of rail industry leaders, committed to sustainability leadership who will be responsible for a new Sustainable Rail Strategy. The group

will oversee and promote the development of an ambitious, affordable, and coherent sustainability programme to make rail the leading mode of sustainable transport. SRE’s representatives are drawn from: Chiltern Railways by Arriva, Crossrail, Department for Transport, DB Cargo, Eversholt Rail, HS2, Network Rail, Office of Rail and Road, Rail Operations Group, Rail Delivery Group, Rail Freight Group, Railway Industry Association, RSSB, Siemens, Transpennine Express. Five-year plan On 4 April 2019, RSSB published its 20192024 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 2021-22 deliverables include: • Continue to develop the Covid-19 risk assessment to reflect the rollout of vaccinations. • Drive forward our Leading Health and Safety on British Railways strategy as the groups set up to oversee its implementation enter the next phase of working on their plans. • Champion the need for improved accessibility and support ‘levelling up’. • Pursue work to understand how rail can become more affordable and reliable. • Support knowledge sharing in the innovation arena and continue to promote the benefits of the Rail Technical Strategy. • Lead the development of GB rail’s first ever Sustainability Strategy. Training courses One of the many benefits for members and affiliates is preferential access to training courses. RSSB leverages the expertise and knowledge of trainers who are leaders in their field to offer high-quality courses that help build industry’s competencies. The training courses are delivered by technical leaders that

designed them, and they are regularly updated to reflect the ever-changing environment of the rail sector. To support the rail industry to grow, refresh competencies and minimise skills fade, RSSB’s training courses have been developed to give members and affiliates the greatest flexibility for learning. All courses can be delivered in a face-to-face setting of the company’s choosing, or remotely. E-Learning courses are also available in some key topic areas such as mental health and non-technical skills. To see the full list of courses, visit www.rssb.co.uk/training. An example of how remote learning and a modular approach benefited learners is the Risk-Based Training Needs Analysis (RBTNA) course that was delivered to Transport for Wales Rail Services (TfWRS) in May 2020. TfWRS approached RSSB to help review and redevelop the RBTNA for its conductor role. The course was originally face-to-face delivery, but it was adapted into three twohour sessions and delivered remotely due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

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.

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 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.

Light Rail Safety and Standards Board Established in 2018, the Light Rail Safety and Standards Board (LRSSB) is committed to further improvements to what is already one of the safest forms of public transport

rawing on experience and expertise from across the sector, it brings all aspects of light rail safety under one roof while providing a central resource where colleagues can access the latest guidance and standards documentation. Building on the significant work initially undertaken by a safety steering group formed by the sector’s representative organisation, UK Tram, the LRSSB is ensuring the implementation of RAIB’s recommendations, and exploring innovative ways to drive continuous safety improvements on existing and future networks. One of the LRSSB’s key development projects is the Tram Accident and Incident

Reporting database (TAIR), a pioneering online reporting system aimed at enhancing tram safety. The majority of UK networks now utilise the platform as their primary database and the LRSSB continues to work with the Office of Rail and Road on its future utilisation. As part of a continuous development programme, its use for RIDDOR reporting is under consideration. Whilst all tramway and light rail systems have different challenges and potential hazards, the TAIR database enables them to add their own data to the platform and contribute to the most comprehensive risk management tool developed for the light rail sector in the UK. With strong support from across the wider light rail community,

and funding from the Department of Transport, the LRSSB is also taking the lead on numerous research projects.

National Infrastructure Commission The National Infrastructure Commission carries out in-depth studies into the UK’s major infrastructure needs and makes recommendations to the government

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 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 Government 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 Commission undertakes research into specific transport proposals when asked to do so by government, but also advises on broader questions of policy and approach to planning upgrades and new investment in road, rail, and other transport modes. 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 – a target upgraded to 65 per cent of UK power by 2030. • 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 a goal of 100 per cent of new car and van sales being electric by 2030. • Ensuring resilience to drought through halving leakages by 2050, additional water 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 businesses. Furthermore, the Commission recommends 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. In November 2020, the government published its National Infrastructure Strategy. The Strategy adopted the majority of the recommendations made in the Commission’s first Assessment. The Commission is now working on the second National Infrastructure Assessment, to be published in autumn 2023. 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. The second cohort features ten young infrastructure professionals from a range of

professions, backgrounds and regions of the country. The Panel has its own agenda and work programme developed in conjunction with the Commission. Example Report In November 2017 the Government asked the Commission to conduct a new study on the future of freight. The Commission’s study reviewed options to improve the existing infrastructure and recommended ways to use new technologies and processes to transform how freight is moved. A Call for Evidence was issued in January 2018 and an interim report was published on 21 December 2018. The final report of the study – Better delivery: the challenge for freight – found that through the adoption of new technologies and the recognition of freight’s needs in the planning system, it is possible to decarbonise road and rail freight by 2050 and manage its contribution to congestion. The government published its formal response to the study in August 2021, welcoming the core themes of the Commission’s report, and announcing its intention to form a partnership with the freight industry to create a ‘future of freight’ strategic plan with a cross-modal focus.

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 • 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 Transport Police and the Office of Rail and Road. • Implementing a new computer tool for the management of investigation data. • Continuing to explore ways of communicating RAIB safety learning in a way that better meets the needs of stakeholders (including the use of social media). • Working to improve information exchange with railway accident investigation bodies in Europe and beyond. • Forging new working relationships with

the rail industry and academia. • A fresh examination of the way RAIB recruits and develops its talent to promote greater inclusion, and improve the diversity of its team. As it is based in operational centres in Derby and Farnborough, RAIB is able to respond quickly to accidents in any part of the UK. Safety digests Safety digests are a way of quickly sharing important safety messages when RAIB have decided not to undertake a full investigation for any of the following reasons: • The safety learning has already been covered by a previous recommendation or will be addressed by an ongoing investigation. • The safety learning mainly relates to compliance with existing rules, procedures or standards. A recent safety digest looked at a near miss, RAIB summarised the incident, described the cause of the incident and highlighted the important safety messages relevant to the incident.

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 Image credit: British Transport Police Authority

ith the passing of the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003, the BTPA was established to oversee the British Transport Police (BTP), review its performance and allocate funding for its budget. It also deals with complaints, recruitment, and managing relationships with the rail industry. The Authority is responsible for setting objectives for British Transport Police (BTP) before the beginning of each financial year. The BTPA announces these objectives, as well as its strategic direction and performance review of the Force by publishing its annual Policing Plan, Strategic Plan and its Annual Reports. The Policing Plan contains the Force’s priorities for the year and the financial resources expected 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 recruitment of Chief Officers and BTP senior Directors. Strategic Plan 2018-22 The existing 2018-2021 Strategy provided the framework for BTPA’s policing plan and was the product of a comprehensive strategic review in 2017. At the beginning of each strategic planning cycle, BTPA would ordinarily conduct an extensive review. With this not being possible in 2021 the BTPA published a refreshed Strategy for policing Britain’s railways which updates and extends the existing plans to 2022. The BTPA will undertake an extensive review during 2021 to formulate its plans for 2022-25, with the anticipation that this will include focusing on the recommendations of the Williams Rail Review. Some key goals are the upgrade of all front-line mobile devices; the modernisation of public contact, which builds on the recently delivered digital public access for services, and the relocation of BTP’s command and control centre and other functions in Birmingham as part of the estates modernisation programme. An earlier plan referred to working towards plans to deliver devolution of railway policing in Scotland. The Scottish and UK Governments have carefully considered the options for this and have decided to retain the current successful model.

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 oversees large financial projects. The Authority maintains the accounts of BTP and has them audited each financial year. For 2021/22 the BTPA set a core policing budget of £328.1 million for policing Great Britain’s railways. A total of £255.5 million has been allocated to overground rail services and £72.6 million for London Underground. Police Service Agreements The BTPA enters into Police Service Agreements (PSAs) with TOCs and FOCs, PSAs require payment from the train 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 Policing Britain’s railways, the British Transport Police serve rail operators, their staff and passengers across the country

Image credit: Railway Mission

he BTP is split into three divisions covering London and the South East of England, The Pennines, Midlands, South West and Wales, and Scotland. Their mission is to protect and serve the railway environment and its community, keeping levels of disruption, crime and the fear of crime as low as possible. BTP employs 3,123, police officers, 233 PCSOs (Police Community Support Officer), 306 special constabulary officers and 1,452 police staff. Due to Covid-19 related travel restrictions, the rail network experienced a significant reduction in passenger numbers. At the start of the third national lockdown in January 2021, Network Rail and Transport for London (TfL) managed stations saw just 15-20 per cent of normal passenger use. This reduction in passengers resulted in a change in demand on the Force in terms of crime. In the initial stages of the pandemic crime levels were extremely low (around 30 per cent of previous levels) but returned to near normal levels in late 2020 (around 80 per cent of previous recorded crime). Targeted intelligence-led deployments and proactive policing operations under Operation Viking and Operation Engulf to deter, disrupt and detect violent crime, resulted in a 29 per cent reduction in these types of crimes. These operations, together with other crime prevention tactics, such as

the deployment of knife arches, contributed to an increase in the number of weapons seized by 13 per cent (752 during 2019/20 compared with 851 during 2020/21). During 2020/21, BTP officers and PCSOs intervened in 25,997 cases involving vulnerable people. This included identifying and safeguarding children and young people, responding to people in mental health crisis and dealing with domestic abuse, stalking and harassment. National Strategies Every three years BTPA sets out medium and long-term objectives for the British Transport Police in a Strategic Plan. This is in addition to the annual policing plans, which cover objectives for the three-year period from the date of the plan’s publication. In 2020, a decision was made to extend the 2018-2021 BTPA Strategic Plan for an additional year to 2022, due to the current Covid-19 Pandemic. You can read more about the strategic plans in the British Transport Police Association section. Moving the Needle In 2020 BTP launched the Moving the Needle action plan, setting out its commitment to tackle racism and unconscious bias and make BTP a fairer more inclusive police force. Moving the Needle is

an ambitious, wide-ranging plan which has been drawn up through discussion with a cross section of the Force’s employees.

London TravelWatch London TravelWatch is the official watchdog organisation representing the interests of transport users in and around the nation’s capital since July 2000

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 enquiries from transport users, taking up cases with

the operator when the original response the complainant had received was unsatisfactory. Monitoring trends in service quality as part of an intelligence-led approach. Regularly meeting with and seeking to influence the relevant parts of the transport industry on all issues which affect the travelling public. Working with a wide range of public interest organisations, user groups and research bodies to ensure it keeps up to date with passenger experiences and concerns. Speaking for the travelling public in discussions with opinion formers and decision makers at all levels, including the Mayor of London, the London Assembly, the Government, Parliament, and local councils.

In 2021, London TravelWatch brought TfL and the rail industry together to improve cooperation on data sharing, which has led to better information being given to transport users about the busyness of services. At the start of the pandemic in 2020, TfL removed the facility to pay by cash at over 200 Underground, DLR and Overground stations across the capital on a temporary basis and later in 2020, they proposed to extend this to cover all their stations in London. London TravelWatch research showed the significant impact withdrawing cash would have on passengers, especially those on low incomes, children or the 260,000 adults in London without a bank account. London TravelWatch’s investigation showed that some stations don’t have a Ticket Stop, usually a newsagent or convenience store, nearby, meaning that it would have been harder to top up an Oyster card with cash. On 21 June 2021, Transport for London Commissioner Andy Byford confirmed that the ability to pay by cash will start to be reinstated at all of the Underground, Overground and DLR stations where it was removed at the start of the pandemic. London TravelWatch also has a statutory role to assess the impact and make recommendations if proposals are made for the closure of a railway line or a station (or station facilities) within the London railway area. London TravelWatch keeps its work

priorities under review by means of a simple set of criteria. These criteria are similar to those used by other consumer protection and enforcement bodies and allow London TravelWatch to plan and coordinate its activity with other consumer bodies and the London Assembly. London TravelWatch Board meetings are open to the public, details are available on its website. Public statements In comments made prior to the Comprehensive Spending announcement, London TravelWatch Director, Emma Gibson highlighted several priorities for the capital: ‘Londoners will want to see a safe, frequent and reliable Tube service so it is essential that TfL have enough money available to be able to invest in new Tube trains and signalling upgrades as well as CCTV on Tube lines which don’t currently have it. Investment is also needed to ensure that TfL’s programme to make more stations step free can continue. In addition to this, investment in more zero emission, electric buses is essential to help improve air quality and make an important contribution towards decarbonising transport in the capital.’

Crossrail Established in 2001, Crossrail was set up to build the new railway that will become known as the Elizabeth line when it opens through central London

Image credit: Crossrail

ointly sponsored by Transport for London (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. Crossrail Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of TfL on 5 December 2008, after years of planning and development, Crossrail broke ground on 15 May 2009 at Canary Wharf, tunnelling began in May 2012 with eight tunnel boring machines (TBM) called Phyllis, Ada, Elizabeth, Victoria, Jessica, Ellie, Sophia and Mary used to construct the rail tunnels under London. Crossrail remains on track to open the Elizabeth line in the first half of 2022 and continues to make progress on completing the works necessary to start passenger services in the central section of the railway, from Paddington to Abbey Wood. When the Elizabeth line opens, it will operate as three separate railways. Passengers will still have to change at Paddington for services to Reading or Heathrow Airport, and at Liverpool Street for services to Shenfield. Following the opening of the central section, services across the Elizabeth line from Reading and Heathrow in the west and Shenfield in the

east will be introduced. Original plans saw these services being integrated in two separate stages six months and then a year after the central section opens but latest plans have now brought those together and will mean journeys can be made into the central section from Autumn 2022. The final Elizabeth line timetable will be in place no later than May 2023. As of October 2021, delivery of the Elizabeth line was in its complex final stages. The project is currently operating timetabled train movements in the central operating section, known as Trial Running, and has handed over seven of the ten new stations to TfL. The Trial Running programme involves integrated trials to test that the railway is safe and reliable. Crossrail is running twelve trains per hour (tph) in the 42 kilometres of tunnels that have been built below London, increasing train mileage, building reliability and flushing out issues with the systems and signalling software. The final phase after Trial Running is known as Trial Operations and involves testing over 150 real-time service scenarios to ensure the readiness of the railway, some of which will include staff volunteers to simulate passengers.

Getlink On 20 November 2017, Groupe Eurotunnel changed its name to Getlink, the group manages cross-Channel transport for passenger vehicles, trucks, Eurostar passengers and rail freight trains which travel through the Channel Tunnel

n 1802, French mining engineer Albert Mathieu-Favier put forward the first ever design for a cross-Channel fixed link based on the principle of a bored two-level tunnel. Two-hundred years later, Eurotunnel became the first private company to be granted a rail operator’s licence valid across Europe, following the liberalisation of rail freight. 25 per cent of the trade between the UK and the European union is carried through the tunnel, with 320 daily trains, more than half of which carry goods. Each year, Eurotunnel safely transports more than 20 million passengers, 1.6 million trucks, 2.6 million cars, two billion tonnekilometres of freight and, eventually, one gigawatt of electricity.

Since 18 September 2021, a new crossChannel freight service has been open to all transporters, using an unaccompanied mode through the Channel Tunnel. The crossing is managed by Eurotunnel Le Shuttle Freight and operates 24 hours a day and six days per week. Departures are from the Group’s two terminals in Calais or Folkestone with a capacity of 8,300 trailers per year. At the end of 2021, Eurotunnel and CargoBeamer signed a partnership for the launch of a new, 100 per cent unaccompanied rail freight transport service across the Short Straits, from Calais to Ashford. The extension of the rolling motorway from Perpignan to Ashford is a logical step in developing a future international intermodal network between the Channel and the Mediterranean.

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. Socioeconomic 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 • 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 high-speed 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. Freight rail services HS1 Ltd is in a state of readiness for freight operating companies to operate high-speed services on the network. Being a highspeed railway network, which provides high economic value to its customers, there are significant benefits to be seen by freight operating companies, in particular those who deliver time critical commodities to its customers. As such, the high-speed rail network provides a dynamic transport infrastructure which leads to substantial commercial benefits for organisations. 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 (2018-

19). 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 (HS2) 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. 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. Ecology HS2’s specialist ecology teams will plant over 300,000 trees, bringing the total to 730,000, across the Phase One route between London and the Midlands to over by Spring 2021. HS2 funding is available for a wide range of independent environmental projects to benefit nature and communities along the route. This could include creating new parks and play facilities, investing in green spaces in urban areas, regenerating areas

along canals, and conserving and enhancing the historic environment. By working in partnership with organisations and individuals, HS2’s Green Corridor will deliver a positive, long term legacy for the natural and historic environment, and for people and communities across the country. Graduate recruitment scheme The opportunity to join one of Europe’s biggest infrastructure projects, and play a role in levelling up Britain, will become a reality for the 17 people who secure a place on HS2’s coveted two-year graduate programme. With a major engineering programme ahead, HS2 is bolstering its infrastructure directorate by offering the opportunity for engineering graduates to join the teams charged with overseeing the delivery of the stations, tunnels and viaducts along the 140-mile section of the first phase of the railway. Freight Throughout 2021, more than 180 freight trains are delivered material to the site taking the equivalent of 12,670 trucks (HGVs) off the road and saving 30,150 tonnes of carbon – the equivalent of flying from London to Edinburgh 930 times. The train – operated by DB Cargo UK and Hanson – delivered 1,650 tonnes of aggregate that will be used in the construction of the temporary Calvert Railhead. Across the whole HS2 project, 15,000 freight trains are set to be used to haul 10 million tonnes of aggregate to construction sites – taking the equivalent of 1.5 million HGVs off the UK’s road. Station Arup’s design for HS2’s Interchange station received a gold award at 2020’s World Architecture News (WAN) awards ceremony. The awards bring together the most senior and influential professionals from across Architecture internationally to recognise and celebrate excellence. The year’s awards, held online due to lockdown restrictions, saw designs for the new Solihull HS2 station recognised in the ‘Future Projects – Transport’ category for their sustainability credentials and the station’s glue-laminated timber structure, which judges said is a ‘very impressive response to sustainable design for the future’.

The award follows on from the station’s recent recognition as the first railway station globally to achieve the BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ certification – a measure of sustainability for new and refurbished buildings – putting it in the top one per cent of buildings in the UK for eco-friendly credentials. Chiltern Tunnel In May 2021, a 170 metre long Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) covered the first mile cutting through a mix of chalk and flint beneath the Chiltern hills just outside London. Named ‘Florence’ by local school children, the TBM is one of two identical machines excavating the twin ten-mile-long tunnels. A second machine, named ‘Cecilia’ is a short way behind, with both TBMs expected to break out in around three years time. Designed specifically for the geology of the Chilterns, each machine is a selfcontained underground factory, digging the tunnel, lining it with concrete wall segments and grouting them into place as it moves forward.

Midland Metro Alliance The West Midlands Combined Authority, the design consortium of Egis, Tony Gee and Pell Frischmann, and contractor Colas Rail came together to form the Midland Metro Alliance in July 2016

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 and helping the West Midlands attract regeneration and investment. Ongoing projects 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 Wolverhampton Interchange, the West Midlands Metro extension will run from a junction with the existing West Midlands Metro system close to the current terminus at Wolverhampton St. George’s through to Wolverhampton Railway Station. West Midlands Metro will stop at the city’s Bus Station on Pipers Row, before continuing to Wolverhampton Railway Station, allowing easy interchange with other modes of transport in an area of the region where most journeys are completed by private vehicle. Birmingham Eastside Metro extension The Secretary of State for Transport has announced that he has decided to make the Midland Metro (Birmingham City Eastside Extension) Order and relevant documents to this order can be found via the Statutory Information tab below. The Birmingham Eastside Metro extension to Digbeth will serve the High Speed 2 (HS2) station at Curzon Street, separating from the existing West Midlands Metro line at Bull Street. The route is planned to consist of 1.7 kilometres of twin track running from Bull Street to a new terminus at High Street Deritend. The scheme includes four additional West Midlands Metro stops serving the east of Birmingham City Centre. The extension will service the Eastside regeneration area offering connections with New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill Railway Stations, in addition to the new HS2 station. The scheme also includes a new

bus interchange adjacent to Clayton Hotel Birmingham to provide an efficient bus, Sprint and coach interchange with HS2. Sustainability Each project has an overarching Project Sustainability Plan, detailing how the project is to contribute to the sustainability objectives and how the project will manage any environmental impacts. All new projects are registered with CEEQUAL and will complete a CEEQUAL Assessment to assess the sustainability of the scheme against a benchmark of industry best practice. The CEEQUAL process is externally verified giving assurance of the quality of the awards. All new construction works will also register with the National Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS). The CCS is a voluntary code of practice that seeks to minimise any disturbance or negative impact

(in terms of noise, dust and inconvenience) sometimes caused by construction sites to the immediate neighbourhood; eradicate offensive behaviour and language from construction site; and recognise and reward the constructor’s commitment to raise standards of site management, safety and environmental awareness beyond statutory duties. As with CEEQUAL the code offers an external validation of the scheme performance against industry best practice.

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. Network Rail owns, operates and develops Britain’s 20,000 miles of railway track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and 20 of the UK’s largest stations. 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.

Performance On 1 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).

Control Period 6 Network Rail runs five-year long Control Periods which it uses to determine priorities for investment. Each Control Period begins on 1 April and ends on 31 March to coincide with the financial year. Control Period 6 began in April 2019. Strategic Freight Network The Strategic Freight Network (SFN) aims to create a network of freight capable rail corridors across Britain by upgrading the existing network and building new infrastructure at key locations to allow more freight to travel on rail. Schemes currently underway include gauge clearance, train lengthening and capacity building. Eastern With railway from the borders of Scotland to the nation’s capital, Eastern region is critical to the success of Britain. It is an incredibly busy region, operating some of the busiest and most congested rail lines in the country, transporting large numbers of commuters to and from busy cities including Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, Derby, Norwich, Cambridge and London. The region is also home to other major transport hubs including three airports and 13 freight ports, connecting millions of people every day to city, town, coast and country, to friends and family, jobs and leisure, as well as goods to businesses here and abroad.

It measures safety from the perspective of passengers at stations and all aspects of interaction between the general public and the railway.

North West and Central North West & Central (NW&C) is the ‘Backbone of Britain’ – the economic spine linking the United Kingdom’s main cities, connecting workers with jobs, people with loved ones and bringing goods to market. The infrastructure runs from London Euston and Marylebone in the south through the Chiltern and West Midlands regions, the North West of England and Cumbria before joining with Scotland at Gretna. NW&C is home to the West Coast Mainline, the busiest mixed-use railway in Europe, serving London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Southern The new Southern region serves passengers and freight operators from Devon in the West to Kent in the East and links Wessex, Sussex and Kent as well as Network Rail High Speed. With over 5,800 employees, the Southern region is responsible for more than 700 million passenger journeys each year. Over the next five years the region will invest £6.3 billion to operate, maintain and renew the railway. Over 7000 passenger and freight services operate on the region every weekday – more than a third of Britain’s rail services. Southern moves over 266,000 tonnes of freight each week and owns and maintains 3,300 miles of track, 4,986 bridges, 895 level crossings and 7,990 signals. 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. Scotland’s Railway Scotland’s Railway covers a large geographical area from the Borders to Thurso at the far tip of the North East of Scotland. It provides rapid access along busy commuter routes to the country’s seven cities. It fulfils a variety of travel needs from business and leisure to daily commuter services, including cross border services; it supports rural services and the needs of freight customers alike. Over 2,500 daily services support the needs of communities and business across Scotland and the border to England, operating the largest suburban rail network outside London which meets the daily needs of customers into Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city.

Serco Serco has global expertise in the design, setting up, operation, and maintenance of heavy rail, metro and light rail operations across the globe – from the turnkey operation of the Dubai Tram 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. Merseyrail Merseyrail is a 50/50 JV between Serco and Abellio. Serco have redesigned the model of delivering a city region wide rail transit system through a model of operational excellence by focussing on delivering high levels of predictability, reliability, punctuality, trust, safety and customer service. All of which has led to Merseyrail

consistently being at or around the top of the league on customer satisfaction and operational performance. Serco Rail Technical Services SRTS is part of Serco’s Transport business, which operates various transport services around the world (primarily rail but also air, sea and road related). A specialist provider of Rolling Stock Testing & Commissioning (T&C) and technical assurance services, it is uniquely placed to provide a deep technical and practical insight into GB railway operations. Today it has over 50 years’ experience across a broad range of rolling stock and infrastructure technical services through the rolling stock development lifecycle. SRTS provides engineers at client depots and routes across the GB rail network. SRTS works closely with train manufacturers to successfully deliver extensive and complex rolling stock testing programmes at sites and other worldwide test tracks and depots. In 2021, SRTS completed the delivery of a contract for Network Rail, to undertake a programme of validation testing on the newly electrified section of the

Midland Mainline from Bedford to Corby. Electrification of the route was completed in August 2020, with testing concluding in March 2021. SRTS engineers delivered and fitted instrumentation to three East Midland Railway (EMR) operated, Siemens-built Class 360 units equipped with Brecknell Willis HPS MkII pantographs. This allowed for real-time monitoring of the contact force at the pantograph-Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) interface as the units travelled over the whole route. The SRTS engineers worked as an integrated team with NR, EMR and Siemens to a very tight schedule, to undertake collection, collation, and analysis of on-track test data to support system and construction validation of the newly installed OLE. This work is the latest project between SRTS and Network Rail for electrification validation testing across the UK, including Gospel Oak to Barking (GOBE) in London, the Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvement Programme (EGIP) and the Stirling, Dunblane and Alloa Improvement Programme (SDAIP).

Avanti West Coast Avanti West Coast is one part of the West Coast Partnership, a joint venture between FirstGroup and Trenitalia, and operates the 400-mile long west coast route that serves cities including Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and London, as well as Scotland and North Wales

nder the West Coast Partnership, which celebrated its first anniversary in December 2020, First Trenitalia is committed to delivering a range of passenger enhancements for InterCity West Coast services including new and upgraded trains, simplified fares, more destinations and improved onboard experience. The programme will transform all 56 of Avanti West Coast’s Pendolinos which have served routes between London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Edinburgh for close to 20 years and the upgrade will return the whole Pendolino fleet to an ‘as new’ condition. Rail manufacturer Alstom will oversee the refurbishment at their new depot in Widnes in the North West securing 100 skilled jobs. The first train, set number 390125, is due to have re-entered service by late 2021. The upgrade programme will run until February 2024 when the last of the 56 strong fleet is expected to leave Widnes. UK suppliers will benefit from 80 per cent of the £117 million investment, which is financed by Angel Trains, one of the UK’s leading train Asset Management companies.

High-Speed Rail West Coast Partnership will invest £1 million plus as part of the University of Leeds’s plans for The Institute for High Speed Rail and System Integration. The research tie-in will help deliver a UK centre of excellence for rail engineering in the Leeds City Region and is intended to drive improved customer experience and operation of HS2. When fully operational, the Institute will be capable of simulating the conditions found on busy rail networks, the findings of which will play a key part in the shaping of HS2 services. In the community Avanti West Coast has launched a new fund to encourage ideas to improve stations and local communities along its route. The Customer and Communities Investment Scheme (CCIS) encourages applications from projects that address regeneration challenges and tackle social needs across the regions served by Avanti West Coast. The money will be awarded to the successful bidders over a two-year period. This latest investment by the inter-city operator is part of its focus on helping others with community and charitable initiatives.

There are three phases of the CCIS, which spans five years and is set to provide a total of £5.5 million in funding.

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 29 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 brand new 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.

and low fares, in 2022, the Tramway extension is set to complete which will provide an integrated train, tram and bus network for Blackpool. 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.

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 133year lifespan, with some travelling around the world, like the iconic Boat car which was used in the USA during the 1970s. Global Light Rail Awards The Blackpool Tramway won the award for the Most Improved System in 2020/21. Blackpool Trams saw a resurgence in customer numbers after the Blackpool staycation boom brought about by travel restrictions in the wake of the Covid lockdown. Coupled with seamless ticketing

Other new features are included on the new trains, such as a hotel-style keycard entry system, charging panels and WiFi 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 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’.

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-for money 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, 10 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. 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. Technology In 2017 Chiltern trialled a ‘hands-free’ fares system for twelve months, part funded by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB). New technology will identify devices in travellers’ pockets or bags using Bluetooth signals and deduct fares when they finish 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 80

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 WiFi bars’ onboard a thing of the past – even through tunnels. Decarbonising Chiltern Railways has been awarded a new contract which includes commitments to continue working towards decarbonising and modernising its fleet. Chiltern is working with Magtec on the Hybrid DMU project with Angel Trains, Britain’s leading train asset management company. The £4 milion Class 165 Hybrid DMU project aims to reduce carbon and gaseous emissions, whilst addressing local air quality and noise pollution issues. The Hybrid DMU train’s electric drive offers improved acceleration compared to its diesel-only counterparts, potentially reducing journey times for passengers. Its smart drive system is able to detect proximity to stations or depots, switching to battery power to cut emissions

and noise in populated areas. Magtec’s new range-extender generators charge the traction battery and deliver power to the traction motor. They are smaller and more efficient than existing diesel engines and comply with the latest emissions standards. The battery is also recharged by the train’s regenerative braking system, increasing overall efficiency and further reducing emissions.

Passenger Operators

CrossCountry Since 2007 CrossCountry has provided passenger services to more parts of Great Britain than any other train operator, including operating the country’s longest passenger service from Aberdeen to Penzance

rossCountry operates five High Speed Trains, 58 Voyager trains and 29 Turbostar trains. The Voyagers, built by Bombardier and maintained at their purpose built facility in Staffordshire, are formed of four or five coaches and sometimes couple together to provide longer trains. These trains are the backbone of CrossCountry’s North-South long-distance services. The High Speed Trains are formed of seven coaches and operate services on the Anglo-Scottish route via the East Coast and maintained by GWR at Laira Depot in Devon. All five have been updated to modern specifications for accessibility including powered external doors and controlled emission toilets. The addition of two additional HST power cars in December 2020 increased the availability of the fleet, replacing some Voyagers to allow more services to be operated as double-sets for extra capacity at the busiest times. The Turbostars are formed of two or three coaches, operating in single or multiple formations dependent upon demand. They operate between Cardiff and Nottingham, and Birmingham, Leicester, Cambridge and Stansted Airport. These are maintained by West Midlands Trains at Tyseley Depot in the West Midlands. The addition of six carriages in May 2021 allowed greater capacity on many services in the East and West Midlands. Promoting safety

In 2020 CrossCountry completed its three year partnership with UK Scouts, promoting the importance of awareness and personal safety amongst younger generations when on or near the railway.

During the partnership over 34,000 Personal Safety Scouting badges were awarded and the scheme was recognised for its achievements 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 CrossCountry continues its commitment to delivering actions that benefit the customers and communities that it serves. In 2020 it established a new regionalised management structure, with directors and teams responsible for making its products and services more relevant to customers and local stakeholders. A partnership with the Newcastle College Rail Academy continues to support educating the students, by promoting the diverse and widespread careers across the rail sector. Through this partnership CrossCountry has donated over £50,000 worth of IT equipment as well as being a key contributor to events helping students to get a better overview of the industry. CrossCountry also supports many Community Rail Partners along its network, working on a variety of activities to strengthen their work bridging the gaps between rail and the wider community. This has included supporting award-winning collaborative projects such as ‘Dwell Time’ focused on raising awareness of mental wellbeing, featuring art, poetry and writing along the Penistone Line as well as nationally and even internationally. CrossCountry has helped fund transformative regeneration projects such as the ‘Whistlestop café’ in partnership with the Derwent Valley CRP, transforming old and unused heritage station buildings into enterprising and useful spaces, and other projects to establish tourist information hubs and support local community food banks. National Railway Museum Partnership In 2021, CrossCountry renewed its corporate partnership with the National Railway Museum. The partnership provides opportunities to work together towards the museum’s Vision 2025, to capture the hearts and minds of the next generation of engineers, innovators and thinkers. The National Railway Museum is committed

to highlighting the work of today’s railway network, as seen in the recent Railway Heroes exhibition showcasing railway workers who gave back to their communities during the Covid-19 pandemic. Vision 2025 is a six-year journey to transform the National Railway Museum, York, and Locomotion in Shildon into the ‘World’s Railway Museum’ by becoming a global engineering powerhouse and a space to celebrate the past, present and future of railway. Judith McNicol, Director of the National Railway Museum, said: ‘I am thrilled that CrossCountry has committed to supporting the National Railway Museum once again. The support of our partners will allow us to achieve our aspiration to become the World’s Railway Museum through the transformational Vision 2025 masterplan.’ Anna Weeks, North East & Scotland Regional Director at CrossCountry Trains said: ‘We are delighted to be renewing our partnership with the National Railway Museum to show our support towards Vision 2025 and help inspire the engineers and railway employees of the future.’

Elizabeth Line

Image credit: Transport for London

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. All of these services will run in anticipation of the opening of the Elizabeth line through central London as soon as practically possible – 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 stepfree 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 mixed-use 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.

Enterprise Enterprise is the cross-border intercity train service between Dublin Connolly in the Republic of Ireland and Belfast Central in Northern Ireland

BELFAST CENTRAL LISBURN LURGAN PORTADOWN

Strategic Development Plan Enterprise put out a document titled the ‘Strategic Development Plan’ in June 2018, detailing the projected population growth along the Dublin-Belfast corridor and how both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland plan to develop the railway. 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, which could come by 2024.

ointly operated by Iarnród Éireann (IE) and NI Railways (NIR) Enterprise operates on the Belfast to Dublin line. The Great Northern Railway (Ireland) (GNR(I)) introduced the service as the ‘Enterprise Express’ in August 1947 in an attempt to compete with air travel which was challenging the railways as Swissair and Pan Am both began using Shannon Airport as a stop-off on transatlantic flights in the Spring of that year. The initial service ran between Belfast Great Victoria Street station and Dublin Amiens Street station, which was renamed Dublin Connolly in 1966. Customs checks were limited to the Belfast and Dublin terminals to reduce journey times by ensuring that journeys were non-stop. In October 1950 the service was extended beyond Dublin to Cork. This proved unsuccessful and ceased in September 1953 when the governments of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland nationalised the GNR as the Great Northern Railway Board (GNRB). In October 1958 the GNRB was dissolved and its assets and liabilities were split between Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) and the Ulster Transport Authority (UTA) – the predecessors of Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) and Northern Ireland Railways (NIR) respectively. Following the completion of the Belfast Central Line Project, the Belfast terminal moved to Belfast Central station in 1976. The service was upgraded in September 1997 with a new timetable and new coaching stock from French train makers De Dietrich Ferroviaire (now Alstom DDF). At this point the service, which had operated under either the IÉ or NIR brands, was branded separately as Enterprise. The service has suffered disruption, particularly during the Troubles, when it was regularly halted by bomb threats. Since the Northern Ireland peace process, however, such disruption has diminished. Renewed investment in recent years has seen the line upgraded to continuously welded track capable of ninety mph running along the southern part of the route, as part of Iarnród Éireann’s rail network upgrades.

The Northern Ireland section of the line was also upgraded to run at speeds of ninety mph on many sections of the line. The Enterprise brand aims to be politically neutral, there are no Irish Rail or NI Railways logos inside or outside the train, only Enterprise specific branding, all announcements are made in English and not in Irish, and purchases are dual priced in Pounds Sterling as well as in Euros. Operating eight services in each direction, Monday to Saturday and five journeys in each direction on Sundays, the journey takes just over two hours. If an Enterprise set is unavailable, either a NIR or an IÉ set can be used. Both NIR and IÉ have equipped a number of their DMUs to each other’s specifications so they may be used in the event of a breakdown.

Eurostar Eurostar is a high-speed train that directly links the UK to France and Belgium via the Channel Tunnel, taking travellers from city to city

ince 1994, Eurostar has more than doubled the total number of passengers travelling (whether by air or train) between London and Paris and Brussels. On 31 December 2009, Eurostar (U.K.) Ltd changed its name to Eurostar International Ltd and on 1 September 2010, it became one unified business owned by three shareholders: SNCF (55 per cent), SNCB (five per cent) and LCR (40 per cent). LCR’s holding was transferred to the Treasury in June 2014. In May 2015, the UK government completed the sale of its 40 per cent share to a consortium made up of two companies: Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec (CDPQ) and Hermes Infrastructure. In 2019 the shareholders of Eurostar announced the launch of the Green Speed project and their ambition to bring together Eurostar and Thalys, the French-Belgian high speed rail operator, to create one unified European high speed rail company.

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. The Channel Tunnel It took just under six years and 13,000 workers to build the Channel Tunnel. The total cost came at an eye-watering £4.65 billion which would be the equivalent of £12 billion in today’s money. The Channel Tunnel runs between Calais in northern France and Folkestone in south Kent. The Channel Tunnel is made of three separate tunnels running parallel to each other. One train tunnel running south (UK to France), one train tunnel running north (France to UK) and one service tunnel. The Channel Tunnel is 31.5 miles long, 23.5 miles of which is under the English Channel, making it the world’s longest undersea tunnel.

Passenger traffic In 2019 overall passenger numbers on Eurostar increased by 1.7 per cent (11.1 million 2019: eleven million 2018), sales revenues were slightly lower (£987 million 2019: £989 million 2018) impacted by industrial action in France during the year. The preliminary unaudited operating profit for 2019 was £92 million. Leisure traffic that 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. The London-Amsterdam service began operating full direct services both to and from the Netherlands on 26 October 2020.

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

Glasgow Subway

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-years old 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 is now expected to be completed in 2022. 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

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

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. 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.

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. GTR will operate under its ERMA until the end of its contract term in March 2022, with the potential for a further extension. In January 2021, GTR joined enterprise technology network, swiftscale, for access to its global scaleup ecosystem – a network of

rail

organisations offering innovative technology services to meet business challenges and opportunities. As part of swiftscale’s corporate partner network, GTR is joining other leading organisations including NatWest Group, Coca-Cola European Partners, the Ministry of Defence and Macquarie Group, advancing themselves through scaleup collaboration. Rolling stock GTR is currently carrying out a £55 million fleet modernisation programme on 270 trains. The trains form the UK’s biggest fleet of ‘Electrostars’, the most common type of electric-powered train built since rail privatisation in the 1990s. The Derbybuilt, air-conditioned trains have been very successful and GTR’s Electrostars have been in service for up to 20 years. The £55 million

programme is funded by Porterbrook, the train owner from whom GTR leases the fleets.

Grand Central Rail

Image credit: Arriva Trains UK / Grand Central

Grand Central Rail is an independent open-access operator connecting London Kings Cross, Yorkshire and the North East

window which is continually updated on a rolling basis. Grand Central was able to make the upgrade after adopting the new Rail Availability & Reservation Service (RARS) system and working with its suppliers.

rand Central’s first route was launched in December 2007 and linked London Kings Cross with York and the North East. In May 2010, this was joined by our West Riding service, linking Doncaster, Bradford and West Yorkshire with London - most recently adding Low Moor in 2017. 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. Passengers In the Summer of 2020, the Transport Focus National Rail Passenger Survey (NRPS) reported that Grand Central enjoyed an overall customer satisfaction score of 95 per cent, as well as topping the Value for Money table with a passenger rating of 74 per cent. Travellers also reported a 95 per cent satisfaction rate with Grand Central’s punctuality, and strongly improved scores for onboard aspects of the journey following a £9 million refurbishment programme. 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. Grand Central has a six-month reservation

Trains Grand Central operates an all-Adelante fleet, with its ten Class 180 trains receiving extensive refurbishment and updates to improve passenger comfort in 2018. Grand central has five named trains: The Ashley Jackson which is named after Yorkshire Artist Ashley Jackson and the James Herriot train which is named after the famous North Yorkshire vet and author. The Hart of the North train was named following Grand Central’s ‘Name Our Train’ competition in the Hartlepool Mail and the other two trains are named after William Shakespeare and Wakefield Kirkgate station.

Great Western Railway Great Western Railway (GWR) operates trains across the Great Western franchise area, which includes South Wales, the West Country, the Cotswolds, across southern England and into London

Image credit: Great Western Railway

WR provides high speed, commuter, regional and branch line train services, and before the covid-19 pandemic helped over 100 million passengers reach their destinations every year. GWR was recently awarded an extension to its direct award franchise (called DA3), which shall run up to 31 March 2023, with an option to extend for a further year. Throughout the Covid pandemic GWR increased its cleaning hours every week by 24 per cent since March 2020 alongside sanitising (fogging) of 1,120 vehicles and carrying out 2,150 on board surface tests (ATP) every four weeks. Routes GWR runs trains between London and Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Oxford, Exeter, Reading, Swindon, Plymouth and Windsor. In 2021, the Government restored the Dartmoor Line, allowing services to resume for first time in half a century on 20 November 2021, the service will run hourly from May 2022.

Plan. In the Summer of 2021, GWR ran the first electric-only train to and from South Wales when it used a 12-car Class 387 to run electric-only from Swindon to Cardiff. More than £7.5 billion has been spent on electrifying the region’s routes from London to Newbury and Cardiff and track upgrades, as well as improvements to stations, the opening of new stations and the introduction of hundreds of new trains. Before Christmas 2018 GWR took delivery of its final Class 800 Intercity Express Train (IET) from manufacturer Hitachi, with a further 127 (Class 802) carriages – 15 trains – still to be rolled out during 2019. Replacing 40-year-old High Speed Trains, the IETs have up to 24 per cent more seats per train. Following completion of Network Rail’s electrification to Newbury new Electrostar, suburban commuter, trains have also been able to run to the town for the first time having been rolled out across London and the Thames Valley during late 2017 and 2018.

Rolling Stock GWR is working on plans to reduce the carbon emissions of its train fleet, with a view to removing all diesel-only traction from the network by 2040 in line with the Government’s Transport Decarbonisation

Mobile assistance At the end of 2019 GWR launched a mobile Customer Assistance Team to help those with reduced mobility to be able to travel with confidence. GWR’s new ten-member mobile team means that a member of staff

can travel with the passenger, taking care of the entire journey experience and ensuring continuity of service. Launched in December 2019 the team has now helped over 500 customers.

Greater Anglia is currently in the process of replacing all trains in its fleet with brand new ones, which are all longer, with more seats, USB and plug sockets, fast free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and improved accessibility features as well as dedicated cycle spaces. Throughout 2021, Greater Anglia introduced new commuter trains to replace 98

all the company’s old trains on Great Eastern Main Line routes between Liverpool Street and Southend Victoria, Braintree, Southminster, Stowmarket, Ipswich, Colchester, Clacton, Walton-on-the-Naze and Harwich. In March 2021, the first of 133 Aventra Class 720 trains being built by Alstom in Derby was introduced on the Clacton to London route. In September of the same year, the trains ran for the first time on the Harwich and Walton-on-theNaze branch lines. The full introduction of new trains on Greater Anglia’s services is due to be completed in Summer 2022. Carbon emissions Greater Anglia commissioned environmental consultancy WSP to assess its environmental impact which revealed that in 2020/21 financial year Greater Anglia reduced its overall Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by eleven per cent. This is in addition to the eleven per cent reduction in 2019/20, meaning that the company has reduced CO2 emissions by 21 per cent over the last two years.

London North Eastern Railway London North Eastern Railway (LNER) operates long-distance intercity services on the East Coast Main Line from London to North East England and Scotland

he company is owned by the Department for Transport (DfT). 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. LNER is the second time that a Government appointed operator of last resort has taken control of the InterCity East Coast franchise; between 2009 and 2015 the franchise was operated by East Coast following National Express East Coast defaulting. Routes LNER runs from London Kings Cross to Leeds, York, Newcastle, Edinburgh Waverly, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness. Rolling stock In May 2019 LNER introduced the first of its new Azuma trains on the East Coast Route. The Azuma trains were built at Hitachi’s rail vehicle manufacturing plant in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, the 65 trains provided an extra 12,200 seats, and with an expanded timetable, increased capacity into London’s King’s Cross station by 28 per cent during peak times. Passengers According to the National Rail Passenger Survey by Transport Focus for Spring 2020, 91 per cent of passengers had ‘overall satisfaction with the journey’. LNER was the first in the industry to roll out its trial of an ‘at-seat’ catering offer. The ‘Let’s Eat at Your Seat’ service enables customers in Standard to order and pay for food and drinks from their phone in the comfort of their own seat. LNER was also the first train company in the UK to use new artificial intelligence software to better manage disruption. When services are disrupted, the new system by JNCTION, aims to help LNER ensure any delays are kept as minimal as possible.

LNER invested more than £14 million over the 2020/21 period in improvements to stations and facilities. From a total transformation of Doncaster Station to new travel centres and toilets at York, a customer lounge at Berwick and car parks at Durham and Grantham, LNER has created first class facilities right along the East Coast of the UK with further improvements to come. New service On 13 December 2021, LNER began direct Azuma services between Middlesbrough and London King’s Cross. Additional LNER Middlesbrough services are planned in the future following the completion of further works around Middlesbrough station which are currently being drawn up by Network Rail and following a significant timetable change on the East Coast Main Line.

London Overground The London Overground, known to Londoners as the Orange Line, launched in 2007 and runs along a circular route around inner London, connecting 23 boroughs of the capital city and parts of southern Hertfordshire

rriva Rail London took over the London Overground network in November 2016 and supports TfL in delivering further improvements for customers on the already hugely popular network. The vast majority of the London Overground network is operated on Network Rail tracks, which are also used by other rail operators, freight and maintenance services. 187 million journeys were made on the Overground in the year 2019/20, compared to just 33 million when it launched in 2007/8. One third of Londoners live within walking distance of a London Overground station and overall satisfaction scores were at 87 per cent on the Spring 2020 National Rail Passenger Survey. A fleet of 106 trains operate on the network comprising 49 four-car and 57 fivecar electric trains. These trains make around 17,000 station stops each day. In 2020, Class 710 ‘Aventra’ trains began operating on the West Anglia routes, replacing the legacy fleet of Class 315s and 317s. The new Class 710 trains feature walk-through carriages, airconditioning, live network information and improved accessibility. Stations New London Overground trains run on all services to Liverpool Street from Chingford, Cheshunt and Enfield Town stations. Over half of London Overground stations have step-free access from street to platform. A further five stations are proposed to be made step-free by 2024 as part of the Department for Transport’s Access for All scheme. Transport for London are building a fourkilometre extension (1.5 kilometres of new track) of the London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking route into the Barking Riverside development in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. This will be supported by a new station at the heart of the development. The extension, due to open in autumn 2022, will provide an essential rail link to support the development of Barking Riverside, serving both new and existing residents. It will facilitate an interchange at Barking with the existing Fenchurch Street line and the District and Hammersmith & City lines, improving transport infrastructure to the area. 104

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 twelve trams per hour, following the completion of works to build an additional tram platform at Wimbledon station. Passengers 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.

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.

Cashless trams and Integration You can’t buy a paper ticket at tram stops but there are still a number of different ways to pay for your journey:

Rolling stock The original fleet comprised 24 articulated low floor Flexity Swift CR4000 trams built by Bombardier Transportation in Vienna numbered beginning at 2530, continuing from the highest-numbered tram 2529 on London’s former tram network, which closed in 1952. In 2006, the CR4000 fleet was 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.

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.

• 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

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

Image credit: Brendan Bell

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 106

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 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. Contactless 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.

Merseyrail The Merseyrail commuter network incorporates two lines, the Northern Line and the Wirral Line

he self-contained network operates over 600 regular services per day, every 15 minutes, to 68 stations throughout the Liverpool City Region, including four underground stations in the city centre that receive services every few minutes, with its Liverpool Central station being one of the busiest outside of London. Merseyrail is a 50:50 joint venture between Serco and Abellio, run as a concession agreement with governing body Merseytravel. As part of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Merseytravel delivers transport projects that support the economic growth of the region. Serco and Abellio took over from Arriva Trains Merseyside in 2003, winning a 25year contract. The company operates a fleet of 59 trains and employs 1,200 people.

Rolling stock In February 2017, Merseytravel ordered 52 new EMUs from Stadler for a complete fleet renewal. The modern Stadler EMUs are future-proofed, having been prepared for the retrofit of ERTMS and dual voltage equipment, and thus comply with the Liverpool City Region Long Term Rail Strategy. On 26 August 2021, Stadler handed over the first of 53 trains to Liverpool City Region. In July of that year trials undertaken on new Stadler-built trains using battery technology were successfully completed, paving the way to the potential expansion of the Merseyrail network, with services reaching as far as Wrexham and Preston. Producing fewer carbon emissions than standard vehicles and enabling the operator to run on an extended network, the battery train boasts enviable green credentials and

provides clients with greater flexibility than a standard train.

Metrolink Owned by Transport for Greater Manchester and operated by Keolis/ Amey, the Metrolink tram system connects all major railway stations and tourist attractions within Manchester

Whitefield sunrise with tram Image credit: Manchester Metrolink

wned 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 123 trams, the M5000 model, manufactured by Bombardier. 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 26 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 new look 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. Contactless journeys and The Bee Network The tram network’s touch in/ touch out system allows customers to travel quickly, securely and flexibly across the network without the need to download an app or buy a paper ticket. Initially launched in July

2019, it was further enhanced following the roll-out of the Bee Flex Weekly in September 2021 and by 17 September more than five million contactless journeys. The Bee Network is TfGM’s vision for an integrated transport system which will join together buses, trams, cycling and walking by 2024, with rail incorporated by 2030, to transform how people travel in Greater Manchester.

Northern Northern covers an area taking in Newcastle and Carlisle across to Liverpool and Manchester, then to Huddersfield and Nottingham

orthern is the second largest train operator in the UK, employing more than 6,000 people and running regional and commuter services across the north of England. The operator has retired its entire Pacer fleet and has introduced 100 brand new trains, part of a £500 million investment in regional rail. It is offering customers ‘a better way to go’ with further improvements across the network including the renovation of station facilities, better lighting, upgraded car parks and enhanced CCTV coverage. Northern provides more than 2,500 local and regional train services every day across the north of England, serving a population of nearly 15 million. There are more than 100 million passenger journeys made on the network each year. Northern Trains Limited is owned by DfT OLR Holdings Limited (DOHL), which took on the operation of Northern rail services on 1 March 2020. DOHL is led by the same team that successfully managed the transfer of Virgin Trains East Coast into public ownership to become LNER in 2018. It was established

by the UK Government’s Department for Transport to fulfil the Secretary of State for Transport’s requirements under Section 30 of the Railways Act 1993 – which places a duty on the Secretary of State for Transport to continue to provide rail services if a franchise is terminated.

Northern and East Midlands Railway (EMR). All former EMR employees have transferred to Northern as part of the deal and join the more than 6,000 colleagues already working for the publicly owned operator.

Improvements Northern is continuing a rollout of new state-of-the-art trains with a top speed of 100mph and delivering extra capacity with a new fleet. New technology is being trialled to identify crowding pinch points to reduce overcrowding and work is underway to extend platforms at 30 stations across the network to allow for longer trains and to improve journeys.

Nottingham Express Transit (NET) 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. 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.

Contactless journeys On 27 September 2021, contactless payment became available

across the network. Nottingham Contactless is a partnership between Nottingham City Council, NET trams, Nottingham City Transport and CT4N (who run the Linkbus/Medilink network) to make paying for bus and tram trips even easier by using contactless. 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 recently underwent 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, wellknown literary figures, scientists, community leaders, actors and sports stars related to the city.

Pre Metro Operations Pre Metro Operations runs the Stourbridge Shuttle in the West Midlands, a turn-up-and-go service using environmentally-friendly Class 139 railcars

re Metro Operations (PMOL) was founded in 1999 as an independent train operation company with the aim to establish innovative and lowcost light rail transit services on branch lines across the UK. The company first saw the potential to help connect the Stourbridge community with the rest of the Black Country using light rail technology on the Stourbridge Town to Stourbridge Junction branch line. Between 2005 and 2006, the company used a prototype Parry People’s Movers railcar during a trial period to test the viability of using light rail innovations on the Stourbridge branch line. Running this experimental service was a huge success, and PMOL subsequently decided to make the service permanent, receiving depot and operating licencing from the ORR. In 2009, the company launched seven day operations at Stourbridge,

replacing the existing heavy rail operation. Using two newly constructed Class 139 LPG fuelled, flywheel hybrid railcars, PMOL ran light rail transit services on the branch line with high reliability and efficiency; providing Sunday service on the line for the first time since 1914. The Stourbridge operation continued to see patronage grow, frequency increase, emissions have been cut, and service operation costs have been reduced. In recognition of this, Pre Metro Operations was awarded ‘Highly Commended’ at the Global Light Rail Awards in 2016 and 2017. They remain the only award winning VLR operators in the UK. The Stourbridge Shuttle currently operates seven days a week with basic ten-minute frequency. The reliability of the service was 99.84 per cent in 2021, having operated 500,000 miles and completed over six million passenger journeys to date. The

service has become ever popular within the local community. PMOL now runs the service on behalf of the West Midlands Railway franchise and is scheduled to do so until 2026. In light of the Restoring Your Railway DfT initiative, promoted by the Government, the company is ready to work with scheme developers, transport franchises and investors looking to establish cost-effective and green solutions that will restore Britain’s railway connectivity using a highly effective business model, vast amounts of experience, and over two decades of expertise in the light rail industry. Not being tied to any one vehicle manufacturer, the company is also working with leading UK light rail innovators to create a brighter, cleaner, and greener future for Britain’s railways. Stourbridge The Stourbridge Shuttle remains the UK’s most reliable train operation, recording an average PPM rating of 99.84 per cent in 2021. In October 2021, Stourbridge was named Britain’s favourite station after winning the World Cup of Stations 2021, organised by the Rail Delivery Group. Out of more than 2,500 stations across the country, Stourbridge was shortlisted as one of 48 qualifying stations participating in the weeklong tournament of Twitter polls. In the final round Stourbridge overtook Glasgow Central in the last minutes taking 43.3 per cent of the votes, with Glasgow Central agonisingly close with 40.9 per cent.

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. Between 2014 and 2019 Scotland’s Railway electrified 325 kilometres of the country’s central railway network. This investment supported the introduction of a new £370 million fleet of 70 faster, greener, modern electric trains, the class 385 built by Hitachi, with 44 per cent more capacity for customers. More than 76 per cent of passenger and 45 per cent of freight journeys are already electrified on Scotland’s Railway, and rail is already the most sustainable mode of public transport, contributing only one per cent of Scotland’s overall transport carbon emissions. On 8 April the last of ScotRail’s upgraded Inter7City high speed trains has arrived in Scotland. The upgraded Inter7City high speed trains initially operated on the East Coast mainline between Aberdeen and Edinburgh, but now run on the following routes serving all seven Scottish cities. The refurbishment programme was carried out by Wabtec Doncaster (coaches) and Brush Traction Loughborough (power cars) from late 2017 through to 2021. Record investment Figures published on 20 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 franchise. Earlier in the year, ScotRail introduced the first eight-carriage Class 385 trains between Glasgow and Edinburgh. 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 eight116

carriage 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. Motherwell station redevelopment On 14 September 2021, the £14.5 million redevelopment of Motherwell station entered its third phase. Once completed the whole project will deliver an enhanced station forecourt and building with glazed roof and brighter, larger concourse. Improved ticket retailing facilities and an improved rail/bus interchange on Muir Street. There will also be new facilities for taxis, car drop-offs and disabled parking.

South Western Railway South Western Railway provides commuter inter-urban, regional and long distance services to passengers in South West London and southern counties of England and Island Line services on the Isle of Wight

Image credit: South Western Railway

outh Western Railway (SWR) was awarded the South Western franchise in March 2017, and took over from South West Trains on 20 August 2017. SWR 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. Investment On 14 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 and at-seat power; and a full 118

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 9 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. Island Line The Island Line runs north to south along the east of the Isle of Wight and has existed since 1864 and in 2021 The Island Line was closed for a £26 million transformation of the railway’s trains, stations and infrastructure as part of South Western Railway’s Journey to Better. The new Class 484 fleet is made up of former London Underground trains, extensively refurbished

by Vivarail in Long Marston.

The project team is starting to set up now and the upgrade is scheduled to be completed in May 2021. The £2.25 million funding has come from two grants. The first is £1.5 million from the Kent County Council (KCC) Local Growth Fund, via the South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP). The second is £750,000 from Sevenoaks District Council’s (SDC) Community Infrastructure Levy. The contract has been awarded to a local Kent based company, WPB, who will be working in partnership with Southeastern and Network Rail to deliver the project. 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. Only twenty per cent of Southeastern passengers are leisure travellers, meaning eighty per cent are commuters. The TOC

he tram is owned by the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, which built the network at a cost of around £240 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 £1.15 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) 120

Stadler is also in the process of building a new £70 million Metro depot at Gosforth as part of the new fleet project. 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.

perated by luxury travel company Belmond, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (VSOE) epitomises the glamour and elegance of the Golden Age of travel. Taking luxury seekers from London to Venice and stopping off at other places across the European continent at cities like Paris, Berlin, Budapest, Istanbul, Prague, Vienna and Verona. Seasonal service VSOE runs services between March and November. The journey is not intended as a functional rail service taking passengers from A to B, but as a five-star experience in every sense of the word. Belmond operates 47 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. 2021 brought new Grand Tour routes crisscrossing through Europe. Embark on a thrilling voyage connecting some of the continent’s most vibrant cultural hubs. Explore the elaborate canals of Amsterdam – taking in the world-class museums by day

Image credit: Belmond / Venice-Simplon-Orient Express

est Midlands Railway is operated by West Midlands Trains Ltd, run as part of a joint venture between Abellio and the Japanese conglomerate Mitsui & Co. The West Midlands Railway brand was announced in 2017, after being created by the West Midlands Combined Authority. West Midlands Railway has a shared management board with London Northwestern Railway and both brands are in the midst of a £1 billion investment programme by West Midlands Trains owners Abellio, JR East and Mitsui. This figure includes £680 million on trains, including new stock produced by Bombardier and CAF, as well as £70 million on depots. 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. There will be nearly £1 billion invested into the overall network over the course of the franchise, £680 million of that will go into new and refurbished trains. 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. Midland Metro (MML) was awarded a 15year operations and maintenance contract

for the Metro system by the WMCA starting on 24 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 Eight third generation Urbos trams, manufactured to order by CAF, arrived in the West Midlands at the end of 2021, with the first five being put into service ready for the opening of extensions to the network in Birmingham and Wolverhampton city centres. A further 13 trams will be delivered in 2023 ahead of the opening of the Metro extension currently under construction between Wednesbury and Brierley Hill. The purchase of the 21 vehicles was part on an £83.5 million deal signed in 2019 between West Midlands Metro and manufacturer CAF. Also included is technical support and battery management services over 30 years, as well as an option to purchase a further 29 trams as the network grows. The network will triple in size, as a £1.3 billion investment programme

being spearheaded by the West Midlands Combined Authority and Transport for West Midlands is completed. The line is being extended by 1.2 miles from New Street station to Hagley Road and is currently predicted to start operations by 2022. 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. When completed the Metro will serve over 80 tram stops, more than 20 transport interchanges and link Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley, Brierley Hill, Digbeth, North Solihull, Birmingham Airport, the NEC and HS2.

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. Maritime Intermodal In October 2021, DB Cargo UK announced plans to lease its Mossend EuroTerminal rail freight facility to Maritime Intermodal. The Lanarkshire depot provides intermodal freight transfer between rail and road and is well-placed at the centre of Scotland’s road network, next to the M8 motorway linking Glasgow and Edinburgh. The announcement came two years after Maritime Intermodal took over the lease of DB’s intermodal rail freight facilities in Wakefield, West Yorkshire and Trafford Park in Manchester. Under the terms of that 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. New contracts DB Cargo UK signed a new ten-year contract with Brett Aggregates. The contract will see DB Cargo UK transport millions of tonnes of sea-dredged products every year from Brett’s marine aggregates terminals in Ipswich, Cliffe and Newhaven. DB Cargo UK has been awarded a new, five-year haulage contract with Tarmac. The announcement is a welcome boost for the rail freight company which already runs a range of services for Tarmac to and from Mountsorrel Quarry in Leicestershire and its aggregates facility in Angerstein Wharf, Greenwich, London. DB Cargo UK has been awarded a new, two-year contract to transport china clay for Imerys. DB Cargo UK also signed a fiveyear ‘hook and haul’ contract to transport

supplies of sustainable biomass to Drax. Each train will carry around 1,650 tonnes of sustainable biomass to Drax Power Station, which provides flexible and reliable renewable power for millions of UK homes and businesses. DB Cargo UK has also secured a new three year deal with fellow rail freight company GB Railfreight (GBRf) to undertake the maintenance of ten Class 60 locomotives for them as well as providing technical infield support. 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 post-Brexit. 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. 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.

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

ounded in 1965 in the UK, Freightliner has since expanded into Continental Europe. 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 116 freight railroads worldwide organised in eight locally managed operating regions with 7,300 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. 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. In 2019/20, Freightliner added 13 electric class 90 locomotives from Porterbrook Leasing to complement its existing ten locomotives. They operate using the 25k overhead line supply, reducing the dependency on diesel traction and contributing to making rail an even more sustainable and carbon-neutral mode for transporting freight. Rail freight is already producing 76 per cent las carbon per gross tonne mile than road freight, and Freightliner is the largest user of electric locomotives to haul freight. The expansion of the electric fleet helps to improve that footprint further. Some of the locomotives will replace the ageing class 86 fleet which will be retired from service until they can be overhauled and re-introduced as Freightliner expands its electrically hauled services.

FFA-G wagons In late 2021, 230 new Freightliner FFA-G wagons arrived in the UK from Poland, representing the next generation of energy efficient, 40ft intermodal wagons. The new FFA-G wagon is the culmination of two-anda-half years of work with partners Greenbrier Europe and Wabtec Axiom Rail and is the latest contribution to Freightliner’s energysaving strategy. Designed with fuel efficiency in mind, the FFA-G wagon is more than two tonnes lighter per platform than its nearest competitor, driving significantly less weight per train whilst maintaining industry safety standards. The modern low track force bogies ensure significantly reduced noise levels and minimise track damage.

Acoustics

Fast and quiet – can we have it both ways? Daniel Lurcock, Dr Martin Toward, Dr Giacomo Squicciarini and Prof David Thompson of the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research at the University of Southampton explain how train speed affects noise

Noise hot-spots from a passing Class 374 Eurostar train

ISVR researchers using a 90-microphone array

ISVR Consulting is an enterprise unit at the University of Southampton. Working alongside the ISVR (Institute of Sound & Vibration Research) at the University, they have been studying noise and vibration research for the last 25 years. This has included measurements to improve understanding on the factors affecting noise such as the surface unevenness of the rails and wheels, and the dynamics of the track. They have worked in the development of mitigation solutions such as rail dampers that reduce noise radiated by the track. In their research into railway noise and vibration they also use measurements conducted from the comfort of their own acoustic laboratories and test track, often alongside advanced computer models. How loud is a train? This sounds like a simple enough question, but things are often more complicated than they first seem. Noise from a passing train is generated from several sources. These can include rolling noise radiated from the track and wheels, aerodynamic sources, propulsion 140

components, and ventilation plant. Each of these individual source types has its own ‘sound power’ characteristics which can depend on the track conditions and the operating conditions of the train. In addition, noise from each source will depend, not only on how far away the listener is, but also whether that listener is located to the

side, front or rear of the source. The noise sources are located at various positions on the train, and most are dependent to some extent on train speed. However, determining the sound power characteristics of each train noise source is complicated, this is because a single microphone can only measure noise from all

Train Noise Expert, main user interface

Acoustics

the sources combined. Recordings of noise from multiple microphones can be processed to help reveal ‘hot-spots’ of noise coming from a moving train and therefore help determine the sound power characteristics of individual sources. The figure overleaf shows members of the team undertaking measurements using a 90-microphone array on HS1, with an example of some noise hotspots from a Class 374. Because of the number of sources and configurations that need to be considered, predicting the noise profile of a passing train can be quite a challenge. Whilst we could just try and get a measurement of train noise directly, this is not always possible, for example for new train or track designs that have not been built yet. In response to this requirement to predict noise from trains from multiple sources, ISVR Consulting has developed

sleepers and medium stiffness rail pads. In the software, generic source types may also be specified (with their sound power and directivity characteristics). These can be made to be independent of speed or alternatively provided with a speeddependent correction. In this case study, the following additional sources have been included: • Raised pantograph (aerodynamic, point source), • Lowered pantograph (aerodynamic, point source), • Windscreen (aerodynamic, point source), • Traction (point source), • Bogies (aerodynamic, point source, with unique value for leading bogie), • HVACs (box source), • Roof-level gaps (aerodynamic, point source).

dependent on speed, and that at high speeds, aerodynamic sources become dominant. Aerodynamic sources are shown to have a significantly higher speed dependence than rolling noise or traction sources. This is an important consideration for high-speed rail, which is faced with the additional challenge that many of the aerodynamic sources are at roof level and are therefore difficult to mitigate with conventional trackside noise barriers.

the commercially available software Train Noise Expert. This builds upon the work within the EU project ‘ACOUTRAIN’, which provided methods to predict noise from trains in accordance with ISO 3095:2013. It also incorporates the same rolling noise prediction methods as the widely used ‘TWINS’ software. A screenshot of Train Noise Expert’s user interface is provided opposite. Speed and noise One of the topics of interest is the impact of speed on railway noise. A case study is presented based on an indicative highspeed train. A range of speeds have been selected, consisting of 80, 160, 320 and 400 kph. Train and track parameters for the hypothetical high-speed train/track situation and are based on measured and modelled data from a selection of high-speed railways. For rolling noise sources, the sound power of the components is calculated by using models based on the ‘TWINS’ approach. Track and vehicle parameters for this study wre set to values typical of modern high speed rail: 8 coach EMU, with disc-braked wheels travelling at speeds betweem 80 and 400 kph on ballasted track with monoblock

A 3D representation (generated by Train Noise Expert) of the train geometry, source positions and directivities, and receiver locations for the case study train is shown above. Results are shown in this Section for train pass-bys for a receiver position 7.5 metres from the centre of the track, at a height of 1.2 metres above the rail. The time profiles of the overall noise levels are shown above, top-right. The figure above, centre-right shows the sound pressure level time profile of the 80 kph train in more detail, with the contributions of the individual source groups. The peaks at the start and the end of the 80 kph pass-by are more pronounced than at the other speeds, it is seen that whilst the central portion of the time profile is dominated by rolling noise, the peaks at the start and end of the profile are due to the traction sources. In contrast, the peaks at the start and end of the 400 kph pass-by are due to aerodynamic sources. By combining the various source types by group, an impression of the overall speed dependencies of each source type is shown above, bottom right. This highlights that the main noise contributions are highly

Overall A-weighted sound pressure levels for pass-bys, with train speed

For other train types (e.g. freight, local, high-speed, metro, trams), the dominant noise sources can vary, partly due to individual train design and partly due to differences in their main operating speeds. For this reason, appropriate noise mitigation solutions may differ between train types. This kind of prediction approach can therefore be helpful in ensuring that when noise mitigation is required, the most costeffective solutions can be employed. Towards a quieter future There is much research going on in this field to better understand and predict railway noise. This is important due to the costs and disruption required to run tests on physical trains. The work that ISVR Consulting are doing to develop prediction software is important for train and railway designers and is a step towards ensuring that appropriate attention is given to the dominant sources when considering mitigation measures.

The new up and coming Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) which will eventually replace GSM-R for realtime Train operational communications is also based heavily on 5G technology. The uptake of 5G for use with Railway Rollingstock will require a significant investment in new infrastructure

particularly trackside-based to enable the performance benefits of 5G to be harnessed fully. On the train itself the ‘link’ between the trackside wireless infrastructure and the onboard train communication equipment and sub-systems, the Antenna System, is of great importance. It can have a significantly good or detrimentally bad effect, on the overall performance of the Passenger Infotainment and OnBoard Operational systems.

Leading the way in waterway engineering projects Kaymac Marine and Civil Engineering Ltd. have earned an impressive reputation for delivering innovative, sustainable infrastructure solutions while ensuring minimal disruption to rail services

ince Kaymac began working with, what was then, British Rail in the 1980s, this family run company have evolved to become one of the leading experts in all manner of railway infrastructure projects in marine and water environments. In those early years Kaymac would undertake structural diving examinations above and below the waterline in the challenging environment of tidal estuaries and rivers. The quality of the work they delivered would lead them to develop longterm, loyal relationships with clients who still turn to Kaymac’s expertise more than 30 years later. As Kaymac’s reputation grew so did their in-house rail engineering team to accommodate an ever-increasing client base throughout the UK. Kaymac are renowned for delivering a safe, timely and professional high-quality service which adds value to a customer’s assets. Kaymac are the first choice to contact when issues arise from a rail track running over a culvert, river or watercourse. Rail construction companies know they can rely on Kaymac’s expertise to carry out an inspection survey before repairing and protecting the infrastructure. Kaymac are RISQS audited and verified; all Kaymac operatives are PTS (Personal Track Safety) trained to current legislation as specialist sub-contractors. For all stakeholders involved, it is of utmost importance that these assets are managed efficiently and effectively to ensure rail structures remain safe and dependable. This leads on to trust, which is a key factor in any business relationship and takes on even greater significance in such complex and hazardous work, where safety is of paramount importance. The trust between Kaymac and their clients has been earned through their ability to consistently deliver what they promise - sustainable, timely railway infrastructure solutions to the highest standard. Combatting the effects of climate change The recent COP 26 summit in Glasgow has raised awareness of the issues facing businesses in the UK with regards to

climate change. However, this isn’t news for Kaymac. Demand for Kaymac’s expertise has increased significantly over the past few years as more clients look to repair damage caused by the effects of global warming and also future-proof infrastructure for the challenges that lie ahead. Rising sea levels, more extreme weather conditions and frequent flooding are all having a devastating effect on rail infrastructure throughout the UK but Kaymac are giving clients the confidence and peace of mind to face whatever nature has in store. An innovative approach saving time and money In late July 2020, Kaymac were contacted by a client to assist with developing a proposal that would permit the safe installation of a fabric formwork scour protection system to the abutment of the Spey Viaduct railway bridge, near Inverness, Scotland. The client had planned to undertake the works in dry conditions using a portable frame dam system. However, this would not be feasible given the depth of the river in certain sections. Following the site visit, Kaymac’s engineers developed an alternative proposal which would permit the undertaking of the works through diving operations, without adapting the detailed permanent works design which would have likely resulted in the works being delayed until the following Spring, 2021.

Kaymac advised the client that a number of value engineering principles could be implemented. These included utilising the existing rock armour material that was on site and due to be used for the permanent works, which would protect their diving operatives from the river flows during installation. Kaymac take their environmental responsibilities extremely seriously and had to assure the client and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency that the work would prevent any pollution or suspended particles from entering the watercourse and being dispersed downstream. Confined space operations As well as scour protection, and as mentioned earlier, Kaymac have also fought the effects of climate change and fluvial erosion in a diverse range of rail engineering projects throughout the UK. These include emergency and planned repairs to culverts that run diagonally beneath rail tracks where fluvial pressure has caused erosion, embankment slip and failure causing damage to the integrity and safety of the structure. The projects involved specialist confined space operations and engineering techniques. Timber structure repairs Kaymac also specialise in repairs to timber 145

structures in a tidal environment involving a combination of traditional, marine, civil and sub-sea engineering. The team work from floating plant to remove and replace existing bolt assemblies on a one for one basis under live load conditions. They also remove and replace diagonal bracing and horizontal waling timbers, against the clock and within the blockade. Floating plant and access systems Kaymac civils division are able to ‘walkon-water’ to carry out masonry repairs to structures with difficult access and environments. Kaymac’s engineers have the capacity to design and fabricate bespoke access systems in-house, and also use modular pontoon barge access systems and supporting vessels to carry out repairs at all states of the tide, without any disruptions to rail users. Television feature Kaymac recently featured on episode three of Britain’s Scenic Railways on Channel 4, a scour protection project on the Redbridge Viaduct in Galashiels, Scotland. This is an arched viaduct carrying two rail lines between Galashiels and Tweedbank. The

scour repairs involved the removal of the riverbed material from between the piers and the installation of a scour mattress to protect the structure from the fast-flowing river. Following the installation of the mattress, the original riverbed material was reinstated to the original level. To ensure the Kaymac team could work safely, a portable dam system was used to reduce the river flow and create a manageable working area around each pier. This provided protection for their plant equipment, and more importantly for their team of in-house, qualified commercial divers when installing the permanent works underwater. The River Tweed is susceptible to high water levels and fast flows, making it a difficult and far from straight forward project – exactly the challenging conditions that Kaymac excel in. Delivering the best results Kaymac have always sourced and trialled new technologies and innovative methods to ensure that they have the safest, most productive and cost effective ways of managing transport projects, even highly regulated and time-sensitive ones. Having proven success and demonstrated

continuous commitment to being at the forefront of developments in this discipline, they guarantee the best results for clients whilst reducing downtime for users.

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 HuckBolt 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, has 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

Ballast Feeder Systems Railcare modernises the railway industry with efficient, sustainable, and green machines

Railcare Sweden Ltd, Daniel Oholm

Ballast Feeder System together with two Railvac machines on a project outside Aberdeen, in a series of single 12-hour shifts during five-weekend blockades

ince 2005 Railcare has been a part of the railway industry within the UK bringing new technology for the maintenance work on the railway. The core business for Railcare is the Railvac, a machine that excavates using vacuum technology. The Railvac was the first innovation from the company in the early 1990s and since then Railcare has gained lots of experience and created even more innovations. Developing the UK business Last year, Railcare was working all over the country across all of Network Rail’s routes. With a framework contract from Network Rail as a base for the business, Railcare offers various types of work with the Railvac and the Ballast Feeder. The Railvac offers great versatility, it is efficient, safe, and cost-effective. Everything from switch and crossing work, re-ballasting prior to renewal and for heavy refurbishment works, through level crossings, wet spot areas, drainage works, also excavation for under track crossings, sleeper, and bearer change, and much more. The ballast feeder system is well proven and has demonstrated itself as safe and very reliable. The Ballast Feeder System is designed to operate together with the Railvac, the removal/backfilling setup offers a unique industrial approach to the time-consuming 150

Preparing for the digital-first railway era Infinitive Group’s Ben Craze and Gavin Beattie reflect on the challenges faced during the global coronavirus pandemic and how digital transformation is playing a key role in supporting railway companies deliver ongoing benefits

he Covid-19 pandemic has triggered multiple paradigm shifts that have disrupted traditional ways of working, forcing many companies to adapt if they are to survive and continue to be part of the future of transportation. To overcome the effects of the pandemic, many railway companies are developing and deploying digital-first roadmaps that are driving the industry’s transformation into a new era of the railway. The Covid-19 pandemic has undoubtedly been a catalyst for change within the rail industry. So, to adapt to the new normal, what has now become business as usual? • Collaboration facilitated by company data sharing and cloud-based data storage this is fast becoming a new standard. • Using what is at hand to manage out of a crisis and identifying underutilised subscriptions to a wide range of data sources. • Anything, anywhere approaches. PreCovid-19 application growth has now been extended into the day-to-day business world with the provision of associated consumer technology being readily accessible and excellent. • Super-fast, and reasonably priced communication networks are now commonplace. • An ongoing drive to be smarter, better, faster! Who are Infinitive Group? Infinitive Group are a specialist consultancy and engineering technology business that sit at the intersection of the railway and IT industries servicing the transport sector. Infinitive Group works with its clients across the UK, Europe and Australia and excels at using big data and analytics to extract, transform and visualise information from complex datasets. Infinitive Group want to draw attention to the value-add SME/specialist suppliers that have the right domain knowledge to support Great British Railways and the WilliamsShapps plan for rail. Infinitive Group are advocates of open data where it allows the operator to make better decisions. There is a time and place for additional hardware, but it should not necessarily be the starting point. Infinitive Group has worked with multiple

owners, operators, and suppliers throughout the pandemic. A keen understanding of remote data acquisition supported by expert knowledge of industry communication protocols has allowed work to continue unabated to deliver analytical studies using real-world condition data. Time series analysis involves complex methods for analysing data to extract meaningful statistics and other characteristics. Developing analytical models and visualisations from event and time series data is a prime example of how Infinitive Group has been able to support its clients who are working hard to prepare for the easing of travel restrictions and maintain delivery of their business goals. We always challenge ourselves to focus on the art of the possible although faced with ever increasing volumes and complexity of data. Cloud computing has, in part, made storage, management, and processing of data easier, but there is still the battle for your brain to problem solve and fix what a machine can’t do for itself. Where we think we’ve got it right is the application of machine learning to do the heavy lifting anomaly detection blended with human insights and oversight for refinement and adjustment. Within a well configured cloud environment, units of computing are readily available and easily scalable to keep up with the requirements of most tasks, we’re pleased to say that spinning up a server,

even for a bespoke analytics piece, is now a simple process. We have entered an age when advanced information technology, once the exclusive privilege of large, wealthy companies, is now available to anyone. Infinitive Group want to address the tech gap between basic technology enablement and the cutting edge. That means understanding the clients’ application’s requirements and - crucially – providing the right technology for it to be successful. The companies that can take advantage of this will be the ones that grow and thrive. Good communication is key to any successful remote condition monitoring system. Many operators, both in the UK and abroad, understand the need, but aren’t sure how to deliver it, even though the prerequisite technologies have been in place in other sectors for many years. Within our railway careers to date, ideas have typically been surpassed by the speed and communication coverage and of the time. With the introduction of 5G, Wi-Fi, and other more exotic technologies like satellite comms, we might yet see the solutions we dream of matched or even outpaced by the communications development needed to deliver them. Increasingly, much of what makes a business comes from having the right tech. Both in the traditional sense, for day-to-day O&M delivery, but more recently to attract and retain the very best new employees and

top talent from a tech-savvy generation. Likewise, passenger demands are being driven by consumer products and services originating outside of the railway, they are becoming increasingly intolerant of an experience that limits their productivity or connectivity. Infinitive Group recognises this and believes that having a trusted tech partner is crucial for success and has established itself as a leading engineering and technology advisory. Partnerships, insights and new ideas Infinitive Group’s products, technology and services are honed to enable productivity and collaboration. It’s in-house R&D department gives it considerable insight into how both people and railway businesses use technology. The projects Infinitive Group has delivered thus far have demonstrated the groundbreaking insights into vehicle condition and maintenance through the combination of specialist industry knowledge and the effective utilisation of existing real-time datasets. Cross subsystem analysis provides key information for trends in traction performance, door health and compressor efficiency among others. Partnerships with key industry OEMs and suppliers have allowed the creation of a stable, scalable platform, which have been rolled out across multiple fleets. The platform offering from Infinitive Group allows the building of a future-proof, scalable system, which provides innovative, and targeted information in areas where it is most needed. Physical and digital expansion despite the pandemic To provide the team with new facilities, greater space, and better accessibility, Infinitive Group has recently completed the

154

relocation to new offices, expanding whilst remaining close to the emerging railway hub of Milton Keynes. The move was made more complicated because of covid restrictions, but careful planning through lockdowns made it a brilliant success. Bletchley Park will always be our spiritual home, so it was with a slightly heavy heart that we moved out of our first home and into our new premises. It wasn’t something that we undertook lightly in the middle of a pandemic, but we wanted a space that was befitting of the business that we’ve grown into. It was a bit tense vacating the old offices at very short notice and adopting a 100 per cent remote working policy, but we were confident that we could pull it off with the preparation and provision of technology that we had in place so that business continuity would be unaffected. We didn’t move far geographically, but in terms of space, outlook, and future-proofing, the new office and facilities couldn’t be more different to the old. Despite the challenges of 2021, Infinitive has achieved a lot of milestones this year, including certification in three ISO management systems, 9001, 14001 and 45001, and the Government-backed scheme for Cyber Essentials. In keeping with the physical building upgrades, Infinitive Group has completely revamped their website in keeping with an ever-maturing corporate identity and brand.

Consulting – SMEs

Future-proofing the UK rail network When it comes to adding value to UK railway clients and at all levels of the rail supply chain, Railway Project Services (RPS) is the SME consultancy to watch

critical safety, cost and programme issues. The business aligns delivery with stakeholders’ disparate requirements to ensure contracts are administered to meet on-time and safe handover. So what makes RPS uniquely placed to support infrastructure clients? Most of all, its resolute focus and agility for applying its experience for the benefit of each client’s unique and nuanced requirements.

ince 2017, RPS’ team has expanded organically to 15 project managers, estimators, graphic designers, and bid specialists in response to growing client demand due to award-winning service. Railway clients with the foresight and vision to engage SME project management benefit from reduced overheads, detailed expertise, and agile and adaptive services. Operating as an SME means RPS avoids excessive management layers, so clients interface directly with senior decision makers. This is important because the future UK rail sector will embed SMEs into the drive for efficiency. The business counts some of the UK’s most important clients among the recipients of its problem-solving approach to infrastructure development and upgrades. They include Network Rail, West Midlands Trains, HS2, and Siemens. This calibre of clients is testament to the high-quality, proactive service that encompasses: • Client-side project management across all lifecycle stages to maintain programme and minimise budget risk. • Technical stakeholder management across complex, multidisciplinary, multifunded projects. • Project businsses case development for station and infrastructure improvements to justify funding requirements. • Delivery-stage contract administration for projects. • Entry-into-service, handover, and project close-out support to de-risk these critical stages of delivery. Led by Managing Director Joe Whalen, RPS’ passion for improving project cost and time efficiency, from scope definition 156

to completion, stems from its having recognised opportunities for those benefits on dozens of projects and work programmes. RPS’ accolades include awards from the Railway Industry Association and the Federation of Small Businesses. In 2020, RPS secured ISO 9001 certification on top of its RISQS verification, enabling it to support a wider range of clients operating to the strictest governance and quality assurance protocols. RPS’ clients include Network Rail, HS2, WMT, Siemens, Morgan Sindall, VVB, GRAHAM Group, Quinn Core to RPS’ offering is client-side project management. Infrastructure organisations such as West Midlands Trains rely on RPS to deliver projects as important as: • Major station upgrades such as at Perry Barr and Birmingham University. • Operational station asset improvements including customer information screens and ticket office facilities across the whole route. • Improvements to maintenance depots where complex safety-critical requirements interface with influential stakeholders. Such complex, multidisciplinary scopes can be delivered only with the integral involvement of project management resources proven to be credible and experienced in guiding schemes through all stages. RPS unlocks client value by addressing

Getting the job done RPS drives successful project delivery through collaborative leadership with clients. The team works with clients’ teams to build the right behaviours. It maintains continuity of resources on projects to avoid loss of project knowledge due to changing teams. Consequently, clients benefit from cumulative project and corporate knowledge gain due to the consistency of expertise. The expertise includes detailed understanding of operation and governance gained from environments such as Network Rail, train operating companies, and freight and major infrastructure settings. This combination is particularly critical in third-party-led projects for which multiple funders create complex networks of needs and drivers. RPS represents West Midlands Trains on the Birmingham University Station project. The £60 million investment will be home to a plethora of services including an NHS diagnostic centre, retail offering, accessible toilets, and a Changing Places Room. RPS’ project management scope includes: • Ensuring the design delivers a station that can be operated safely and efficiently by the TOC. • Working with stakeholders (e.g. University of Birmingham, West Midlands Combined Authority, and the Canal and Rivers Trust) to ensure their requirements are built into the design. • Collating, quantifying, managing and reporting project requirements and aligning them with other parties’. This work de-risks the project and ensures the station will benefit passengers for years to come.

Consulting – SMEs

Defining and delivering the scope that actually achieves clients’ requirements RPS believes project requirements must inform project scopes. The scope drives design, leading to the Construction Phase Plan that delivers the requirements. Changing project demands, multiple stakeholders and time constraints can disrupt this rigour. To safeguard against that risk, Director of Projects Richard Gannon believes: ‘Recording and tracking requirements through development and into delivery is a key way in which we protect our clients’ projects against budget and programme risks.’ For that reason, all RPS projects use a requirements log to collate, track and manage requirements throughout the project lifecycle. Managing stakeholders’ concurrent requirements RPS is currently working on multi-millionpound station upgrades at which multiple stakeholders are contributing funding and expect specific benefits in return. The NHS, English Heritage, Canal and Rivers Trust, Highways England, Midland Metro Alliance, and higher education institutions

are all working with RPS to deliver projects. RPS’ management of those parties is underpinned by:

• Open and collaborative communication to unlock challenges and align requirements with project scopes. • Communicating project changes openly so that all stakeholders are aware of the impacts on developing designs. • Stakeholder mapping to ensure no parties are ‘off radar’. Robust contract administration Recognising that effective contract administration ensures open communication of risks and protects all parties from increased cost, all RPS’ project managers are trained in administering NEC contracts. By working with clients’ procurement teams, RPS builds the best Options for each project to ensure risks are borne by parties most able to manage them. The ideal project management service RPS’ strength lies in its agility as an SME, high-quality project teams, and a commitment to driving forward the UK’s capability in railway project management.

n commencing, few people could have predicted how quickly it would grow into an industry leading, end to end, fully managed logistics and installation service to both Network Rail and London Underground. Indeed, the rail sector is just one of many in the UK that have benefited from the dedicated and experienced teams that have added value to many projects nationwide. Radius specialise in providing expertise on projects that are logistically challenging, require performance in tight and enclosed spaces, involve large and or unusually shaped plant or equipment, and are both, on the critical path of the project whilst being extremely time sensitive. We are widely regarded by our clients as their specialist problem solvers; helping to manage and mitigate specific project risks. We are typically called upon early within projects when other specialist contractors and suppliers are unable to provide a safe or technically acceptable solution. We have been committed to concise and understandable safe systems of work since the companies’ foundation, a precedency that remains a key focus. The long-term partnerships with employees, customers and suppliers are based exclusively on sustainable behaviour and the resulting values that follow. For each specialist sector that we serve, we have also developed unique operational methods and manufactured equipment

of our own original design. To assist with projects within the rail sector for example, Radius own and operate the only London Underground approved escalator sledge, capable of carrying up to 450kgs down escalators to specific project locations.

Demolition – Major Infrastructure

Rail orientated demolition and asbestos removal Clarke Demolition Company Limited (CDC) is part of the Tru7 Group and operates from their purpose-built offices and workshop in Ipswich, Suffolk

e provide a nationwide service for any type of rail orientated demolition and asbestos removal. The management and site teams have many years’ experience working on the rail infrastructure, with the first brick arch bridge on the London Liverpool ST to Norwich line being demolished in 1983. Subsequent to that initial foray, 25 further similar structures were demolished on that line as part of the electrification process. The company has now demolished over 150 rail bridges of all types and size, including: • Rail overbridges. • Rail underbridges.

• Viaducts. • Road bridges. • River bridges. The structures demolished have also ranged from brick arch, steel beam with brick jack arch, steel beam with concrete deck, precast concrete decks with both pre and post tensioned concrete. The methods of demolition have ranged from complete dismantling, cutting and lifting, robotic demolition, traditional breaking down with machines and explosive blowdowns. One project even required the demolition of a large footbridge within Waverley station in Edinburgh Station under the cover of the main glass roof, which

hampered access and the work considerably. On another occasion the site team had to remain on site to assist British Rail (as it was then) with the reconstruction of the replacement bridge in the wilds of the Essex countryside! Other structures demolished have been Rail Maintenance Sheds, Sidings, Water Towers, Platforms, Platform Canopies, OHLE Structures, Signal Boxes, Station Buildings, Staircases and Walkways, Footbridges, P-Way Huts and other lineside structures. Staff are PTS trained and the company has its own Sentinel Sponsor for the issue of Track Visitor Permits if required. In addition to the actual work, the company can provide all temporary works

design and installation with CAT 2 & 3 check facilities. During the construction of the Cross Channel Rail Link, eleven bridges were demolished on behalf of Balfour Beatty and three further ones for Skanska. Two of the Balfour bridges were demolished in the same weekend. More recently we demolished a large road bridge over the Norwich to London line at Romford which required three phases as the A127 road had to be open at all times until the replacement bridge was completed. The final phase required the two large steel trestle deck supports to be removed underneath the new structure which again posed several constraints and restrictions on the method of work. However, it was all completed well within the required timescales and the line re-opened without incident. CDC is a member of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors and has achieved accreditation under the NFDC Site Audit Accreditation Scheme, CHAS, Constructionline Gold, RISQS, CIRAS, SafeContractor and Builders Profile. Environment At CDC, we work hard to reduce the impact of our activities on our immediate surroundings and on the wider. This acceptance of our responsibility is reinforced by the achievement of certification to the international standard for environmental

management system ISO14001. We reinforce this in three key areas: • Environmental Planning. • Pollution Control. • Recycling. For the majority of projects, we routinely prepare an environmental aspect and impact assessment to identify, control and reduce any environmental impact that our activity may create. This covers acceptable limits for emissions, minimum levels for recycling, any monitoring procedures and compliance with any legislation. At CDC, our work brings us in close contact with people and their living environment. We take responsibility to eliminate or minimise pollution and emissions from our sites. The combination of modern demolition techniques and well-maintained plant and equipment ensures we limit/eliminate noise, vibration, dust, contamination, spillages and excessive carbon emissions, where possible. With well-planned traffic management plans, we can also reduce disruption from excessive vehicle movements to and from site. As a responsible client, we understand that you wish to commit wholeheartedly to minimise environmental impact and CDC is here to help you achieve your goals. Talk to us about the many ways we can support your sustainability initiatives in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Demolition and Asbestos Management Services

Demolition, asbestos removal and salvage services The company was first formed in 1929 by a South African gentleman trading as EA Bond Builders Ltd and working out of a small yard in the town of Rhymney, South Wales

hey were operational throughout the Second World War and beyond, undertaking construction works for the Ministry of Defence amongst others. As the company grew, they diversified and invested heavily in mechanical plant, working the mines and tips for the National Coal Board through the 1960s and 70s until the gradual demise of the coal industry and the closing of mines shortly afterwards. The company was bought out by current owner Robert (Bob) Bailey at this time and traded as RN Bailey, however the recession hit hard around 1974 and the decision was made to take the company in a slightly different direction, with the formation of Bond Contractors Ltd. The new organisation grew significantly, becoming a large scale civil engineering company undertaking muck shift, groundworks, highway works and piling whilst assembling a large, skilled workforce. The company traded successfully up until 1999 when the economic climate meant that it was no longer viable to pursue large scale civil engineering projects. This brings us to the formation of Bond Demolition Ltd in the same year, with the decision at the time to work within the public sector to try and provide some job security for its loyal employees. Membership of the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (ARCA) was transferred to the new company in 1999 and National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) membership attained in 2005. We are pleased to offer a diverse, multidisciplined in-house service to our valued Clients and as our name suggests demolition has always been viewed as our primary activity. Being established members of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors, we offer a professional service to our client base through fully CCDO carded, competent and time served staff. We offer our services on a nationwide basis and can engage as either Principal Contractor or specialist sub-contractor with our Clients, also assuming the role of Principal Designer during the construction phase. 166

With over 80 years of in-house demolition experience, our management can provide a complete turn-key offering including: • • • • •

Document review. Site reconnaissance. Planning / client partnering. Expert advice for our customer. Design of an effective solution, working with highly acclaimed industry consultants for specialist services (e.g. explosive demolition). • Safe and timely delivery of a project. • Project review on completion. • Client feedback. In providing specialist demolition and asbestos removal activities, as well as undertaking groundworks and land reclamation projects, Bond Demolition Ltd places significant emphasis on environmental matters in the execution of its works, assisting in protecting the environment as a whole, as well as our personnel whilst at work.

We provide environmental management through the various stages of the project, from planning through to inception, implementing such measures as dust suppression, environmental barriers and screening to mitigate any impact on the surrounding occupants, businesses and natural habitat. To supplement these measures, we arrange personal, dust, vibration and noise monitoring as well as air testing across our sites. Additionally, we look to produce a Demolition Environmental Management Plan (DEMP) for each of our projects, which identifies and assesses the aspects of demolition that could have an environmental impact. We are always looking at new opportunities to reclaim/recycle materials during the strip out and demolition processes and have links to a network of specialist waste companies throughout the UK, thus ensuring materials are not transported any great distances, consequently reducing the carbon footprint.

Demolition and Asbestos Management Services

A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) is produced for each project to estimate and record the waste produced and disposed of / recycled, observing our responsibility under current legislation and guidance. We offer our customers complete transparency, with all records being made available on site and copies issued as necessary. Where practicable, we look to recycle between 95 and 100 per cent of materials on our projects, depending on the precise nature of the structures being demolished. We look to engage closely with our client and utilising our expertise, guide them through the process from inception through to practical completion. Bond Demolition Ltd was the first demolition contractor in Wales to adopt the Oil-Quick automatic quick hitch coupling system for hydraulic attachments, providing a safe mechanism of attachment change for the machine operators and minimizing the risk of hydraulic oil loss through the process.

Demolition, Asbestos Removal and Land Remediation

Network Rail case studies We’ve been working closely with Network Rail for over a decade in a contracted framework relationship. Throughout this time, we’ve become expert in the nuances of the rail industry and bring that experience to improve outcomes for rail projects. Rhodar has undertaken asbestos removal, demolition and land remediation projects for Network Rail as either individual specialisms or collectively within enabling works packages.

The overall works were conducted over a twelve-week period in a variety of shift patterns to suit the location and accessibility of the site which included normal working hours, weekend and evening possessions. All works were undertaken in a lineside environment under a Network Rail safe system of work and COSS supervision. Additional works were undertaken to demolish the Bristol East Relay Room in a lineside location just outside of Bristol Temple Meads Station. Works were carried

remediation of impacted soils, to enable construction of a compound for plant, equipment and site offices ahead of planned engineering works to the active railway lines and flyover. Adhering to Network Rail protocols and the requirements of CARSOIL, we removed fragments of asbestos from the soil, excavated contaminated soil and removed it safely from the site. Special consideration was given to movement of vehicles beneath the flyover, maintaining its structural stability.

London Waterloo At London Waterloo an innovative solution was required for asbestos removal planned works, when replacing the central ‘Bait Raft’ advertising boards above platform ticket turnstiles with digital screens. Using a floating scaffold and modular DCUs, working 1am-4am shifts, Rhodar successfully removed the ACMs without hindering the daily 400,000 turnstile footfall. The project success was reflected in our nomination for the UK Rail Industry Awards, in the Outstanding Projects category. The Head of Safety & Sustainable Development at Network Rail commented: ‘Rhodar presented an innovative solution for a prime station location. Their commitment to quality, and understanding of the importance of a cohesive design, made them a great partner in meeting the functional and aesthetic goals of the project.’

out using hand demolition techniques to break the concrete roof and demolish the walls before breaking the slab with a small micro excavator and backfilling using imported MOT Type 1. Due to ALO working restrictions, our demolition works were undertaken over a five week period during a series of daytime and evening line blocks.

Maidstone East train station As a key delivery partner within the £2.5 million NSIP project, Rhodar was appointed by Network Rail, as principal contractor, to remove asbestos and demolish the former Victoria Hotel and Public House, situated on top of a live railway tunnel above one of Southeastern’s busiest railway lines, adjacent to the town centre, transport links and Maidstone East train station. On completion of the demolition phase, Rhodar excavated the basement to expose the tunnel, applied a waterproof lining and installed a permanent fill solution up to development level. This prepared the site for the new station entrance and forecourt development. Due to the building’s position over a live railway line, the demolition had to be carefully planned and managed to minimise any stress or impact placed on the rail tunnel below.

Bristol Area Signalling Renewal & Enhancement project For the Bristol Area Signalling Renewal & Enhancement (BASRE) Project, Rhodar worked in conjunction with Network Rail to remove asbestos insulating board ceilings from 14 relay rooms at various locations within the Bristol region. The rooms were being prepared for demolition following decommissioning after the signalling upgrade works.

Embankment West Rhodar was appointed as asbestos removal, demolition and remediation specialists for the enabling works phase of the Embankment West development site, close to Manchester city centre and a live rail network. Working in conjunction with Network Rail and the developer we implemented effective plans to minimise disruption, dust, noise and vibration impact on the public and the network. Prior to demolition, asbestos-containing materials were abated and notifiable and non-notifiable waste was removed. Follow-on remediation commenced with excavation below ground level in order to remove relict in-ground structures. The demolition phase involved the removal of the overburden and splitting the arches in an innovative way to prevent vibrations or loads being transferred onto Network Rail’s foundations. This significantly cut costs and reduced programme time by around eight weeks.

access and egress system was also employed to ensure the safety of our operatives, with up to six High Speed Train (HST) movements per day.

Sustainable working We work with our suppliers to ensure a robust ‘chain of custody’. This means we have viable and sustainable origins on our plant, materials and consumables. For example we use: • FSC-registered timber for our asbestos removal enclosures. • Innovative electric plant and equipment, like hybrid crushers and excavators, and fully electric tracked dumpers, on demolition and land remediation projects. Our aim is to reflect Network Rail’s Sustainable Development Strategy, and we continually do this through: • • • •

Efficient use of natural resources. Innovation with sustainable materials. Reduce, reuse or recycle any waste. Energy efficiency across all of our infrastructure and operations.

Depots – Maintenance and Services

Keeping clean Wilcomatic Rail specialises in the design and maintenance of wash systems for trains, trams, and monorails

e’re globally accredited for supplying and installing more than 40 wash systems and other associated depot equipment in both the UK and overseas. In addition to our 65 strong UK-based maintenance team, we have a huge support network working closely with an extensive network of engineers and maintenance partners across the world to deliver the levels of support expected by today’s customers. We can provide remote monitoring for our train wash systems across the world from both our UK and Indian maintenance centres and are able to provide a full range of spare parts and technical support to the most remote of locations. Our systems wash trains day-in-day-out everywhere from New Zealand and Australia to the Far East, Middle East, and Brazil. With our cutting-edge train wash technology giving the highest standards guaranteed, our train wash systems consistently outperform those from other manufacturers. They clean better, they’re quicker and use resources more efficiently. We also supply and maintain Controlled emission toilets (CET), Lubrication systems, T-system satellites and Pump stations as well as maintaining stock levels of consumables such as wash chemicals and brushes. The East Coast Integrated Depot The East Coast Integrated Depot (ECID) in Singapore will be the world’s first multistorey train and bus depot, combining three existing depots into one complex. As land is expensive and sought after on the small island, the Land Transit Authority initiated the project to save approximately 44 hectares of land which would then be used for other purposes. Construction began on the $2 billion (£1.1 billion) build in 2016, with an expected completion date of 2024. Siemens were awarded the tender to provide electrical and industrial equipment for the project. Having just completed a project with Wilcomatic in Malaysia receiving thirteen successful wash systems, Siemens approached Wilcomatic to work with them on the East Coast Integrated Depot. Wilcomatic provided a quote and were awarded the project over worldwide competition. The ECID was a unique project for Wilcomatic, requiring three separate, fully automated wash systems that would meet 174

the specific requirements for the Land Transit Authority’s different train models and lengths. Two machines will be installed in tunnels, making the design even more challenging. Wilcomatic compiled a detailed, technical specification and design of the machine, which was put forward to the Land Transit Authority as part of Siemens’ tender. The Land Transit Authority found Wilcomatic’s proposal matched their requirements, which helped cement their preference for Siemens as their equipment provider. Able to handle a continuous 24/7 processing of trains, the machines wash with sprays and brushes to provide a unique solution, and fully dry each train before it exits the wash programme, both of which were key requirements from the LTA. An extensive water recycling system also needed to be specially designed for handling the substantial number of trains. Controlled emissions toilets Controlled emission toilets (CETs) are now the rail industry standard. Simply put, CETs store waste in a large, secure tank in the train’s body instead of depositing the sewage directly onto the tracks. Every night when the train reaches the depot, the waste can be easily pumped out of the tank and disposed of safely. CETs are more hygienic for travellers – with the sealed tanks able to prevent unpleasant smells from escaping – and much

kinder to the environment and the people working on railway lines. Retention tanks are now commonplace enough for operators still using older-style toilets to receive negative media coverage for doing so. Controlled Emission Toilets are therefore a must for all newly-produced trains, and increasingly important for older rolling stock to be retro-fitted with. Features CETs are available in a range of different configurations to suit the infrastructure they will have to work within. For instance: • Emptying systems are available in manual or automatic options. • Most toilet retention tanks are cleared from fixed trackside extraction stations, but mobile extraction units are an alternative option for depots with limited space. • Underfloor systems are another option for where trackside space is at a premium. Each module connects to a main vacuum wastewater line to dispose of sewage safely and rinse tanks with clean water. • Remote diagnostics can be installed to monitor tank levels and identify any potential problems before they become serious. How difficult is it to install toilet retention tanks? All modern train fleets are built to accommodate Controlled Emission Toilets,

Depots – Maintenance and Services

with the main requirement being adequate space and access to the train’s plumbing system. It is when it comes to retrofitting older trains that more problems can occur. Unfortunately, operators know that replacing an old toilet with a modern CET

requires more than just bolting a tank on. Space on the underframe needs to be created to accommodate the tanks – and as there often isn’t the room for this to be directly under the toilets themselves, pipes will likely need to be re-routed. Installing

vacuum systems to enable more powerful flushing and save water adds another layer of complexity. Retrofitting an entire fleet can be a major operation, which is why operators are often reluctant to sanction upgrades. There are very live concerns over rolling stock being out of action for extended periods – putting more pressure on already squeezed capacity. However, with new, modern fleets often taking years to arrive, retrofitting is nonetheless essential in the medium term. What operators and manufacturers of new trains both need is access to the right expertise and a range of CET options. Not only will this ensure the best systems for the job, it will also mean as quick a turnaround as possible and prevention of costly delays. At Wilcomatic, we know the rail industry inside out. Our industry-leading designers and engineers are on hand to plan, build and install the best solution for your fleet’s needs.

DIN Rail Power Supplies

DIN-Rail power supplies for railway applications PULS DIN-Rail power supplies are authorised by NRAP for use on railway infrastructure for which Network Rail is the manager under ROGS regulations

ULS Power the specialist manufacturer of high reliability DINRail power supplies provides a range of reliable, efficient and robust DINRail power supplies specifically for railway applications. Using technology based on designs already proven in tens of thousands of industrial applications worldwide PULS power supplies also feature DIN-Rail mounting to enable simple integration into cabinets and enclosures both on board rolling stock and trackside. Performance requirements for electronic systems in railway applications are challenging on several fronts; failures cannot be tolerated, even under extreme mechanical stress over an extended temperature range. Further, the input voltages in railways differ from those experienced in industrial applications ruling out the use of standard commercial grade devices. PULS railway approved power supplies are ideally suited to the latest infrastructure projects such as HS2 and extensions to underground rail networks. PULS railway specific power supplies may be used in a wide range of applications within the train and on the track including, central power, air conditioning, communication and infotainment systems, signaling technology and train protection systems. PULS products are deployed in major infrastructure investments such as the SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) where power supplies have been installed along the railway track in some 800 electrical cabinets all over Switzerland for the control of power lines for the trains. Critical to this contract was the ability of PULS to deliver and support the chosen product types for many years after design-in, while also delivering cost savings over the existing installation. PULS continue to innovate and have recently introduced the new FIEPOS range of rugged IP67 rated power supplies which need no protective enclosure. These power supplies provide an intelligent distributed power solution and may be mounted in close proximity to, or actually on, the load. This reduces installation costs and simplifies commissioning while introducing increased flexibility and the ability to easily reconfigure systems. 178

PULS railway range of power supplies provide one hundred per cent greater mains failure bridging time than required by the railway standard EN 50155 (S2), are weather resistant with all PCBs having conformal coating as standard and are completely convection cooled simplifying installation, further increasing reliability and minimising system noise. Fully EN 50155 certified PULS DIN-Rail power supplies are classified according to T3, TX, C2 and S2 for use on rolling stock. They also meet EN 61373 for shock and vibration, EN 50121-3-2 for EMC requirements and EN 45545-2 for fire protection on a railway vehicle according to hazard level HL3. Five models from the PULS QS Series have been awarded full acceptance certification by Network Rail for use with

signaling equipment in environments not exceeding 95 per cent relative humidity. The Network Rail product acceptance process is required for products intended for use on or about rail infrastructure and ensures they are safe, reliable, fit for purpose, compatible and do not export unacceptable risks to the infrastructure. Only accepted products, (except those allowed by NR/ L2/RSE/100/05) may be used on rail infrastructure. Three of the Network Rail approved PULS DIN-Rail power supplies feature the advanced PULS ‘Hiccupplus’ overload protection mode. These employ technology innovations to overcome the problems associated with early hiccup protection circuits which were considered too sensitive when used in conjunction with motors or

loads that are equipped with large input capacity, running power supplies in parallel or battery charging. These are the QS40.241 with a DC output of 24V/40A, and the QS20.481.C1 and QS20.241.C1 with outputs of 48V/10A and 24V/20A respectively and

offer system designers and installers’ uncomplicated assembly and permits flexible positioning of the devices. Optional wall and side mounting brackets offer alternative mounting options. Spring-clamp terminals provide shock and vibration resistance, making installation intuitive and facilitates simple wiring without tools. Key features of the PULS QS Series of DIN-Rail power supplies include a wide input range from 100 to 240Vac, and a very wide operating temperature from -40⁰C to +70⁰C (depending on model) without derating (+60⁰C to +70⁰C with derating), typical efficiency greater than 94 per cent and operation in environments with up to 95 per cent maximum relative humidity. All models have a nominal 110Vdc input with a wide voltage fluctuation tolerance of -30 to +40 per cent and are available with an output voltage range from 24 to 28VDC with power ratings of 100, 200 and 400W.

Ecology – Vegetation Management

Mechanised vegetation management solutions Established in 1992 by owner and managing director Andy Back, Avondale provides vegetation management to a wide range of clients in key market sectors, with 30 years’ experience on the rail

he corporate philosophy has always been to supply mechanised solutions to vegetation control wherever possible. They provide huge efficiencies in cost and productivity as well as significant safety benefits. Fewer personnel trackside means fewer at risk. Avondale brings a wealth of experience in managing vegetation, including tree stock, enabling engineering rail professionals to do what they do best. Key services include but are not limited to: • Asset cleaning including tunnels, signs and graffiti removal. • Plant hire with operator. • Herbicide spraying. • Pesticide spraying. • Flailing. • Tree works. • Fencing.

As a key supplier to the Network Rail OnTrack Plant contract and working under its own POS (Plant Operators Scheme), it can supply services to the rail industry nationwide. From road to rail to site A major issue with service delivery on the rail infrastructure is often gaining access to sites that may be remote or on routes that are operating at near capacity. Road Rail Vehicles can mitigate this issue by using the existing road network to get close to site reducing the requirement for lengthy line blocks. Avondale operates a fleet of unique, purpose-built Mercedes Benz Unimogs. The Unimog is a self-contained, versatile, ‘go anywhere’ power unit operating a range of attachments; many designed and developed in-house. These are fitted to the front, mid

and rear of the vehicle and powered directly by the front and rear PTO (Power Take Off) high pressure air or hydraulic systems or a combination. The Unimog’s advantage is its off-road capability that allows it to approach the tracks at a 90-degree angle and cross them; its revolving platform is then lowered hydraulically transforming the Unimog into a fully functional rail vehicle in a very short time. ‘Track occupation’ is the key word here. The aim is maximum productivity in minimum available closure time. Effective solutions to new problems The company has always had a reputation for the design, development and delivery of bespoke vegetation solutions. Recent successful projects include the mechanised treatment of Oak Processionary Moth, an invasive species that has health implications for trees, humans and animals. Avondale’s solution removes the risk of human contact whilst maximising treatment during shorter mid-week possessions, with all affected areas being treated within a limited window of opportunity in the moth’s life cycle. Avondale delivers biodiversity enhancement projects for Highways England (high speed roads) that can easily be adapted for rail use. This includes selective weed control to manage woody vegetation to encourage local grass and wildflowers species, wildflower seed broadcasting and hydroseeding. A selective brushwood 180

herbicide can control the regeneration and germination of woody vegetation and invasive species (such as Japanese Knotweed) without damage to surrounding grass species. The principle applies to various gradients where established ground cover can naturally bind loose soil, reducing erosion. The establishment of desired species will help to naturally suppress unwanted ones and create a varied ground canopy to enhance wildlife habitats. Future developments will continue with this theme researching and developing viable and sustainable delivery mechanisms. For example, an electric or hybrid powered machine to enable rail tunnel cleaning to take place. ‘Let us solve your on track and off track vegetation problems. The answer is yes, now what is the question?’ – Andy Back, Owner and Managing Director.

protocol and procedures as well as a statement of intent to provide our Ecological Consultancy and Contacting services to a broader higher level market. Fast forward four years, a further four landmark HS2 contracts, as well as our first direct appointment by Network Rail, and the evolution feels complete. Keystone had proven themselves on one of the UK’s largest ever construction schemes and the challenge was no longer to establish ourselves within the sector but more so, how to evolve with the times and continue to provide our clients with the highest level of service, ensuring

they remain compliant with changing environmental legislation whilst striving to achieve added value and meeting the targets currently being discussed under the COP26 summit. Environmental and protected species legislation has historically been seen as a blocker to construction, a hurdle to overcome, an inconvenience. However, with the growing recognition that biodiversity is key to a healthy ecosystem, and with the requirement for infrastructure developers to achieve net gain consistently within their projects, there is opportunity in

Ecology Consultancy

protected species mitigation and through targeted habitat management and creation. It is no coincidence that wildlife thrives alongside our rail infrastructure network, despite little historical effort to promote its presence, and although protected species can on occasion cause disruption, with the appropriate foresight, planning and programme understanding, their presence and any potential mitigation measures need not be seen as a negative nor cause delays. Habitat corridors are key to population expansion and long-term viability and our rail network provides the perfect starting block to facilitate this, along with huge expanses of currently unmanaged land with great potential for biodiversity enhancement and offsetting for future essential upgrades and maintenance operations. HS2, habitat creation and species translocation To date Keystone has created over 33 hectares of habitat spread across ten individual sites which will, in time, form part of the wider green corridor bordering HS2. Key habitat features have been installed to provide flora and fauna with the fundamental building blocks to create a thriving ecosystem which will be managed over time to create an optimal environment for populations to establish and subsequently to expand. The green corridor will provide the perfect highway to encourage population integration and expansion as well as providing an area of green space for communities to enjoy and explore, surrounded by nature. These key habitat features have included creation of 17 new wildlife ponds, planting of 35,000 new trees and shrubs, creation of 9 reptile basking banks, installation of nearly 50 bat and bird boxes, 120,000m2 of grass and wildflower seeding and over 13,000 metres of fencing which will protect and segregate the new habitats as they establish. Since their creation, ongoing management of these sites, tailored to meet their specific needs and requirements, has resulted in uptake on a level we never could have anticipated, dragonflies and butterflies swarm the sites during summer months and amphibians have established healthy breeding populations within the new ponds. Perhaps the most rewarding element of the work has been witnessing the speed at which flora and fauna take up residence, demonstrating that given the right ingredients and initial aftercare, land of little biodiversity value can very swiftly become a thriving ecosystem. In addition to the habitat creation packages, Keystone were also a key supplier aiding in the translocation of protected species. Our contracting and consultancy teams supported one another across a number of sites with the installation of over 70 kilometres of herptile fencing utilised to exclude reptiles and amphibians from

the construction footprint and relocating them to areas of retained or specifically created habitats which, now matured, provide optimal conditions to sustain the populations. It is difficult to plan for that which you do not know, and the key to preparing for any works which may interact with protected habitats or their inhabitant species is solid baseline survey data. Once you have this information, along with a true representation of any potential impacts, the process to mitigate and compensate can begin and the fundamental key to this must remain, irrespective of what is unearthed at survey stage – what is the end goal? Understanding your client’s needs, programme and constraints is vital to providing a robust consultancy service and early contractor involvement is Norcar quad tracked loader extracting timber for use in habitat piles essential to ensure a project remains on target but also sets out with realistic and achievable goals.

By combining keen insights at survey stage with sound legislative knowledge and robust project management processes, we have become a trusted and legitimate ecological partner to some of the UK’s leading organisations. We continue to invest in research and development, extending our operation into new sectors and regional locations and helping our clients build their own understanding and knowledge of ecology. Our robust, intelligent approach to surveys and regulation minimises costs, risks, and delays, yielding complete, bespoke solutions that will maximise the success of your scheme. Investment in technology Company growth and market expansion has provided the commercial stability to allow Keystone to compete for larger more complex work packages whilst also allowing for considerable capital investment, targeted on both state of the art contracting machinery and also technology to aid in our survey activities. The key focus on any company investment is how we can improve our services, provide more reliable survey data whilst also reducing the demand on surveyors. The most significant and stand out demonstration being our investment in thermal imaging cameras to assist with bat activity and emergence surveys. These units have revolutionised our surveying methodology by enabling us to see continued bat activity once light levels deteriorate as the differences in the heat

of objects is easy to see. The units have been particularly useful for confirming the emergence of bats which typically appear when it is quite dark and to also observe bats crossing over particular features such as an unlit road. They are also very useful for the survey of trees, particularly if features which may support bat roosts are cluttered by leaf foliage or branches as footage can be reviewed once back at the office to confirm the findings of the surveyor. Whilst we have typically used these cameras to aid surveyors, in some situations they could actually replace a surveyor, for example in an unsafe location as the footage can be reviewed later in the safety of the office and correlated to observed behaviour alongside any acoustic recordings obtained. Couple this with the ability to slow and analyse movements, geo-map commuting patterns and cross reference with audio data from site, the survey outputs are a world apart from your traditional bat surveyor and bat detector. Notably the cameras can often cover a wider vista than a static surveyor potentially reducing the numbers required on some survey locations, and subsequently costs to the client. Where required, the units can also be stationed in a fixed position and left attended but from a distance, particularly useful when surveying bridge structures or crossing points which may otherwise compromise the safety and comfort of the field surveyor. It is safe to say having utilised the two new cameras solidly for a very intense survey season, often with both units being utilised four nights a week, the significant company investment and lengthy research prior to purchase has

been thoroughly rewarded and in doing so has enabled us to offer a level of service far superior to traditional survey techniques. Looking back, it is fair to say that the Keystone team have excelled both individually and collectively in their efforts to push the company to the next level and I owe special thanks to one and all, along with our supporting clients, who have played their part in this process. It would not be right to completely overlook a worldwide pandemic which has brought such disruption, and in some cases the end of their operations. Yet despite the professional, personal, and operational challenges we have all faced, to have maintained company growth, actively recruited and achieved repetitive record years is an achievement of which we can be very proud. As the country begins its journey out of such an unprecedented and difficult situation, it is with great optimism that we continue forward with the confidence that we can support our staff and our clients with any future challenges, however big or small.

Electrification

Delivering a bright energy future for the UK’s railways The UK’s net zero goals are setting the stage and fuelling interest to reach a net zero railway, including a rolling programme of electrification and fleet orders of hydrogen and battery trains

n 2021’s autumn budget and spending review, it was announced that a £46 billion investment will be set aside for railways and high-quality transport infrastructure that will bring communities across the UK closer together and connect them to opportunity. This is an exciting and opportune time for the rail industry to review how their electricity infrastructure can be modernised and future-proofed to support goals including efficiency and reliability of service, customer satisfaction and cost effectiveness while minimising environmental impact. Having a long-term strategic energy partner with a strong industry track record at delivering innovative rail projects that are aligned with these goals will be crucial. Five key characteristics to look for in your long-term strategic energy partner are safety, innovation, sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and collaboration. These characteristics ensure that your rail network electricity infrastructure will be taken care of with professionalism, benefit from an integrated and holistic view in mind and delivered to the standard required for the next decade and beyond. Safety UK Power Networks Services manages the associated risks of working with electricity and delivers safely for its clients in the most complex and challenging environments every day. Whilst working on Europe’s busiest runways, trackside on the UK’s fastest mainline railway, at nuclear sites, and military facilities, UK Power Networks Services has achieved an unprecedented safety record of zero lost time injuries in over 5,000,000 hours worked. This outstanding achievement is down to an unrelenting focus on safety, innovative processes and training programmes for colleagues and clients, and a culture where safety always comes first. Innovation As well as adopting the latest technology, it is critical that your partner should be able to adapt when unforeseen challenges arise on projects and respond with innovative solutions to keep the project on track. UK Power Networks Services’ innovative work

on the Great Western Electrification Project between Maidenhead and Cardiff included the implementation of a ground-breaking Rationalised Autotransformer System. The system delivers significant cost savings and better reliability for its client compared to other systems installed in the UK. Through innovation, we have also achieved a 99.9875 per cent network availability for High Speed 1, connecting St. Pancras in London to the Channel tunnel. Network resilience coupled with high availability of assets have been at the heart of High Speed 1’s success as Europe’s best performing high speed railway. Sustainability Sustainable solutions have a positive effect on the environment, economy, and people. These ‘triple bottom line’ benefits can have the 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. 187

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. 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 2021, it was also named sixth in ‘The Sunday Times 25 Best Big Companies To Work For’ list. Collaboration Any long-term strategic partner must be experienced at collaborating with multiple partners when delivering complex and large-scale projects involving renewals, enhancements and major schemes while demonstrating ‘value for money’ infrastructure investment. The more partners involved in a project the greater the complications that can arise. UK Power Networks Services is committed to establishing long-lasting, open and trusting relationships. It is accredited in the Collaborative Business Relationship Management System ISO 44001:2017 standard to help it deliver successful collaborative relationships with appropriate clients, delivery partners and suppliers. Through a collaborative approach, it contributes to the creation of value oriented enterprising teams that deliver high performing infrastructure. Conclusion To be effective, your long-term strategic energy partner needs to demonstrate these five crucial characteristics – safety, innovation, sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and collaboration. UK Power Networks Services’ business is built around these characteristics. Its investment is focussed on these characteristics. Its greatest successes are where it has brought these characteristics to life in its delivery with its clients. It has delivered for its clients for more than 50 years and its portfolio includes High Speed 1, Network Rail, London Underground, Docklands Light Railway, and EDF (Hinkley Point C). UK Power Networks Services also delivers for leading UK airports, Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City. Email: enquiries@ukpowernetworks.co.uk Visit: ukpowernetworksservices.co.uk 188

Electrification – Enclosures

Outdoor enclosures – the unsung heroes Outdoor enclosures, the ones you see beside the road, on the pavement, trackside on the railways

he ones you walk past every day without giving them a second thought, these metal boxes, more often than not contain highly critical equipment that is fundamental to our everyday life. Broadband connection, the controls of signalling on the railways, the important instructions on overhead motorway gantries, these functions and many more impact our daily activity. Whether we are working from home or travelling, the controls that make these things possible are housed out of sight and out of mind. That’s not a bad thing, they are designed to be inconspicuous to the public. Outdoor enclosures need to be many things, they have to be functional and flexible to house various forms of equipment, they have to aesthetically pleasing whilst also being secure enough to be placed in both remote and busy public spaces. Surviving the elements is another critical feature, they could be placed outdoors for in excess of ten years whilst dealing with the hottest summers and harshest winters. So, whilst outdoor enclosures may seem a fairly innocuous feature there’s actually a great deal of design and innovation in them. When equipment has to be placed

outdoors, it’s not just one factor that has to be considered. Unlike indoor applications there are so many more variables that need to be taken into account. Let’s talk about the weather for instance. Heat and humidity in the summer, cold and ice in the winter; not to mention the wind and rain. Faced with the elements the enclosures design, construction and material used needs to withstand everything the weather can throw at it. Using powder coated Aluminium means the enclosure is protected from the outside elements, we at Rittal also give the enclosure a double skin. Having a double skin does many things, it helps with the UV solar gain during warmer times protecting the equipment internally just that little bit more from overheating, Alternatively, if cooling (passive or active) is required, the dual casing makes this more manageable. A double skin also means additional heat when the temperature drops, rather than the heat dissipating quickly through the walls of the cabinet. Heat from the equipment or an internal heater means critical equipment can be kept at its optimum working temperature whether its summer or winter. A double skin also means better

protection from intentional or accidental damage. Outer skins can easily be replaced bringing the enclosure back to its original condition whilst the inner skin protects the internal equipment whilst the repair works are being carried out. No need to replace the whole enclosure if only the outer shell is damaged. Other key design features are the ones that keep outside elements outside. For outdoor enclosure one key element is the Ingress Protection (IP) rating achieved. We would suggest IP55 rating as being sufficient for an outdoor enclosure. This means the cabinet is protected from wind driven rain and dust. What is of great importance, is that the enclosure is designed so that standing water does not pool on the enclosure or sit on the enclosure seals. If the seals are protected, then the risk of leakage into the enclosure is low. Enclosures where water can sit for a prolonged period of times means eventually a breakdown in the seal material. If this standing water, then goes onto freeze it can cause a gap between the enclosure door and housing. Overhanging roofs that fully protect the enclosure door seal is an imperative design feature that

money by allowing a system to be online in a shorter timescale. The need for outdoor systems is increasing due to the ever-expanding requirement for all things to be connected. This need will only increase but it is paramount that when a system is to be placed outside serious consideration is given to the design of the housing that the critical infrastructure equipment will sit in. Whether it be telecoms, rail, airports or highways the overriding factors are the same. Protection from the outside world is key!

Rittal outdoor enclosure

must not be overlooked when placing such a product outdoors. Security is critical outdoor. Whether this be specific lock types dependant on customer and application, or maybe even remote access could be required. These features need to be options to give the end client peace of mind. Whether the cabinet is in a crowded busy town centre, a remote or an airport runway, access to the inside of the enclosure needs to be limited as much as possible to those who don’t have the authority. Whilst the outer design of the cabinet is

arguably the most important the internals of the cabinet need to be versatile, flexible and also future proofed. Technology moves at such a rate these days that in some instances by the time a system is deployed the electrical components within it have been superseded. By having a more flexible system for mounting within the cabinet this can mean the ability to upgrade at a later date using the existing enclosures. By doing so it reduces the need for downtime, reduces labour and parts costs and overall saves the end client time and

Equipment enclosures get smart Like most industries today, the rail sector is being affected by fast-moving changes in technology. In turn, this may affect the ubiquitous but essential trackside equipment enclosure. Here, ICEE Managed Services describes how to gain more benefits from this often undervalued asset

The start of a complete enclosure solution: ICEE uses advanced 3D solid modelling (CAD) and design for manufacture (CAM) software to optimise cutting, bending and fabrication of enclosure parts, ensuring right-first-time, high quality build results, at least cost (Picture courtesy of Bystronic.co.uk)

y way of introduction, ICEE possesses over thirty years’ experience in electrical and telecommunication applications, having produced complete enclosure solutions for many industries, including the highway and rail sectors. In particular, on a bespoke basis to the customers’ specifications, it includes not only the design, manufacture, maintenance and refurbishment of trackside equipment enclosures, but also the manufacture of kiosks and information desks for use in busy railway stations. A key asset in infrastructure communication and control networks, the job of an equipment enclosure is to provide a weatherproof envelope, with strong protection against unauthorised access, and to maintain the right internal environment, enabling vital equipment to work properly. However, these days the technology inside is evolving rapidly. Unlike previous eras, in the digital age nothing stands still for long. Flexibility, agility and adaptability to change are now key watchwords. Enclosures 192

have to meet new requirements and become ‘smarter’. Developments such as fibre optic telecommunication systems, wireless networks and other significant innovations mean there is constant ‘technology churn’. That trend is set to continue, particularly with growing adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT), advent of the potent 5G wireless standard, more demand for Wi-Fi and the expectation of it all to be readily available and accessible. Not only is technology changing, the climate is too. Hotter summers and wetter winters may affect the temperature or humidity of an enclosure interior and equipment performance. This highly topical consideration has to be factored into any new design specification. Why is bespoke important? Today, certain types of communication and control technologies are in rapid transformation. When such equipment in an enclosure is upgraded, the new parts or assemblies may be bigger or smaller, or require more cooling. Whole new elements

may be added to the system, requiring enclosure extensions. More cables may have to be fitted and space has to be made for routing and connecting. In short, all this means the enclosure must help and not hinder change. Ideally, future change issues should be considered at the design stage and decisions made about whether a standard or bespoke enclosure will be a safe, longterm investment. The risk is, as technology advances so rapidly now, the wrong decision on an enclosure could mean one or many having to be replaced or scrapped in the future, an expensive gamble. In this scenario, a standard or off-theshelf enclosure may prove inflexible and hard to modify, especially if many have to be changed in the field. Unwelcome compromises often arise and in some cases, system performance could suffer in the short or long term. In comparison, a bespoke enclosure may be designed to provide exactly what is required now and have flexibility builtin to accommodate future changes or

Installation and maintenance: ICEE not only designs and makes bespoke equipment enclosures for a number of industries, the company also installs and maintains cabinets and systems in the field. Upgrading and refurbishment is another cost-saving service.

improvements. Thus, the customer gets the right solution today and a ‘futureproof’ asset. Compromise is minimised or eliminated. Investment is protected. The bespoke approach also provides the opportunity to build in competitive features. Competitive features with bespoke What does ‘competitive features’ mean? Let’s look at an example. ICEE works in several industries including the telecommunications sector. In particular, the company delivers complete enclosure solutions to a number of fast-growing and ambitious broadband internet service providers (ISPs). The government’s aim to provide ‘fast fibre’ throughout the United Kingdom before this decade ends has resulted in an explosion of new and regional ISPs across the UK, competing against large national, established names. Many of these new enterprises want bespoke enclosure solutions that serve not only their existing and known requirements now, but also include features that provide competitive edge and future flexibility. In general, these competitive features are designed to streamline installation, commissioning, maintenance and upgrading. Later, refurbishment across the network may also be a requirement. ‘Future-proofing’ features range from simple to complicated. Such as providing more internal brackets and mountings to quickly re-position existing equipment and make room to install new devices, with easily implemented cable management options, or attachment of comprehensive cabinet extensions. There may be special requirements. In

remote areas, sensors are sometimes fitted in the enclosure to detect unauthorised entry or vandalism, or ensure secure locking after maintenance is done. Generally, valuable data can be collected to support performance reports and aid traceability audits. Connection through the network or wireless telemetry enables this data to be automatically transmitted to and fro between a control centre and a remote enclosure, or between a network of several. ‘Smart’ or connected enclosures have the potential to play a key role in positively contributing to the operational and financial performance of an organisation. If many enclosures on the network or infrastructure have this ‘joined up’ capability it can lead to higher productivity, more efficiency, increased competitiveness and profitability and above all, service excellence. Hence the enclosure is no longer a passive metal box, but one to be exploited as an integrated platform actively supporting management of the business. Bespoke is cost-effective The point is that a standard or off-theshelf cabinet is unlikely to meet all the functional demands described above, or offer much flexibility. In fact, all the enclosures ICEE make, install and maintain today are bespoke, built to a customer’s specific requirements. At ICEE, in relation to cost, the reason bespoke now competes with standard on price and speed of delivery is thanks to today’s sophisticated design and lean manufacturing processes, all based on interconnected digital technology. This starts

with computer-aided design (CAD) featuring powerful and realistic 3D solid modelling, seamlessly linked to computer numerical control (CNC) production machinery in the factory. A centralised business and supply chain management system coupled to strict project management ensures scheduling, delivery and installation are efficiently achieved. With bespoke comes another advantage, namely rapid prototyping on-screen. These days ICEE rarely builds a physical prototype. Instead, ‘soft’ prototyping is mostly done collaboratively, productively and remotely via video conferencing and the web. This saves money and precious time - no travelling and no limit on where collaborators are based. There are other major time and cost saving benefits. To aid optimisation, more iterations may be explored immediately onscreen. Potential issues and risks may also be identified and rectified at this early design stage, when it is easier to make changes. Parts and fabrication may be checked for rightness, rather than discovering costly mistakes after making one or more physical prototypes. A complete solution from one source Much of the story so far centres on the early design, manufacturing, fabrication or assembly stages of the enclosure lifecycle (or kiosk, or desk, or another type of enclosure or structure). Of course, subsequent stages are just as important including installation, commissioning, maintenance, upgrading and refurbishment, or decommissioning and replacement when required. Over the years ICEE has developed a successful approach to delivering this complete, end-to-end process. Other key attributes include the importance of standards and compliance, such as being part of the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS). Besides participation in RISQS, one of ICEE’s strengths is a policy of investing heavily in certification including possession of four flagship ISO standards, NICEIC, SafeContractor, CHAS and other widely recognised accreditations. Typically, ICEE seeks to work with infrastructure operators and prime contractors because, in a time of great pressures on industry, it can flexibly supplement a customer’s resources and provide extra capacity on demand. In contrast, with smaller enterprises the company can fill a gap, enabling those organisations to successfully bid for larger projects – whether for smart enclosure solutions, kiosks and desking for rail station operations, or another type of complete enclosure package, in each case supplied by one reliable, proven and highly accredited partner.

Fatigue Management

Managing your team’s fatigue Fatigue Manager is the specialist rail industry, online platform to help manage fatigue and risk in the workforce – arriving in Q2 2022

atigue management is a key safety issue within the rail industry, so much so that Network Rail is enhancing their standards in an effort to reduce the impact of this known risk to the industries workforce. Fatigue Manager is a unique package, developed by GRID Innovations to support employers and sponsors in managing this difficult risk in the rail sector – and so much more. GRID Innovations was set up by four Health and Safety professionals who bring a wealth of cross sector experience, with a key focus on the Rail, Construction and Utilities industries. The vision for GRID Innovations is to develop products to support organisations by reducing much of the administrative burden on operational and back-office staff. GRID is about to launch a platform they have been working on for some time, that they believe offers a solution to fill an industry-wide need. Their goal was to use their expertise to develop an effective, affordable and user-friendly platform for organisations to manage the fatigue of their staff and to provide them with a record of compliance to statutory requirements, industry best practice and client requirements. The result: Fatigue Manager. Fatigue Manager comprises a web and app-based database system featuring a variety of tools to make effective fatigue management possible for organisations

in the most cost-effective way possible. It helps increase safety – and compliance – at a fraction of the cost of the administration resource requirements of carrying out a similar function manually or with basic excel spreadsheets, while also removing the possibility of human error from parts of the processes. Background Fatigue is a significant risk factor across all industries and can contribute to accidents and incidents, in addition to reducing baseline performance due to it leading to a reduction in concentration and impairment of decision making. Fatigue also has negative effects on physical health, mental health and wellbeing. For this reason, numerous legislations have been introduced that place increasing levels of obligations on organisation to manage their fatigue effectively, including the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and Regulation 25 of the Rail and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 (As amended). As a result, industries have made fatigue management a requirement of their supply chain approval processes, including Network Rail (RISQS scheme), Oils & Gas Industry (FPAL scheme), United Utilities (UVDB scheme) and many of the large Principal

Contractors (Building Confidence Scheme). Network Rail has recently published an updated Fatigue Risk Management standard with a compliance date of October 2022. The new standard raises the levels of fatigue management required and will need to be adhered to by all their staff and supply chain. To ensure that fatigue is eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level, the new regulations encourage both managers and site staff to consider fatigue at all times throughout a shift, taking into account total hours and site and commute times, to ensure the proactive management and mitigation of fatigue. Previously, there has not been a cost effective, made-for-purpose solution on the market – companies generally use spreadsheets and time sheet systems of varying qualities and as an industry, processes in this area are generally fairy weak or flawed in key areas – with those that manage fatigue effectively relying heavily on administrative resource. Taking care of safety while companies take care of business Fatigue Manager will provide an easy and time effective way to ensure the health and wellbeing of an organisation’s people. It will simplify fatigue and risk management and reduce the burden of administration, with everything in one simple-to-use platform. The web-based platform presents a clear overview of shifts, rosters and hours worked, enabling efficient planning and monitoring of fatigue amongst the workforce with clear Fatigue and Risk indexes displayed throughout. It will also support optimal deployment of staff, compliance with HSE requirements and benefits to the health and well-being of teams due to an increased focus on the risks associated with fatigue. Fatigue Manager in practice Fatigue manager has been designed to make tracking and administration quicker, easier and more accurate than was previously the norm. Obviously, every detail has been considered with multiple package options for variations on individual organisation’s requirements. The following provides an overview of the key sections within the platform. Organisational Login – On receipt of the admin login details via automated email (including a handy option for

multiple admins) access becomes available to the control panels and dashboard of key information. A company profile is set up including billing information, package subscription and general business information such as the postcode and office locations. Admin Control – Admins will then be required to create profiles for each staff member including basic information such as where staff are based, job roles and contact details. The workers log in details can then be sent out directly allowing them access to view their scheduled rosters and input their actual hours worked via either the web portal or an app. At this point admins can also add their Clients and Primary Sponsors along with any Teams and frequent Work locations. Dashboards – At a glimpse, admins have a clear view of several critical data points that are driven from within the platform and the information that has been pre set through the rosters. Admins will know how many staff are currently working, if there are any absentees and have a clear view of fatigue and risk indexes. Exceedances and accidents will also be flagged up along with any staff who are yet to input actual hours – critical information such as this will be highlighted in red with notifications sent to the admin to investigate and will feed through into the reports and trending information graphs. Rosters – Building rosters in the system is pain and hassle free for admins and can be done months and even years in advance if the relevant information is on hand. The interface for roster creation is clean and simple, requiring just the essential information such as start and end dates, location, site contact details

and the allocation of your workforce. Our calendar view is aligned with the Network Rail calendar which allows clear views of upcoming and previous rosters. Rolling FRI scores along with planned vs actual and hidden hours are all included in the roster view. FRI – Firstly, the organisation will assign its working time limits and create a risk assessment for each employee based on the nature of their work, break schedule and typical commuting time. Once workers are then rostered, all the above information along with the roster schedule feeds through our bespoke API directly into the HSE Fatigue Risk Assessment system. This is what sets Fatigue Manager apart and makes it the complete solution as no spreadsheets or manual calculations are required, all scores are generated by the industry standard algorithm to provide the most accurate results possible. Most businesses will use a version of the HSE calculator which may well be outdated and not producing accurate results, Fatigue Manager is directly integrated with the host system meaning instant score feedback. Having this information readily available means admins can manage shift patterns and roster staff more easily with a higher degree of confidence that fatigue and risk indexes will not be exceeded. The affordable way to manage Fatigue Fatigue Manager is the most cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes due to the scalable pricing model that has been adopted which effectively works on a volume discount method. Plans start for organisations with one to five employees, rising to the highest

Added, proven safety Ensure Compliance Simple to use Cost-effective

Firstly, and most importantly, Fatigue Manager helps reduce the probability of a fatigue related safety events – clearly protecting people is essential and one of the platform’s key goals. And because of the requirements created by today’s legislation, it actually allows companies to show that they’re looking after the health and wellbeing of their workforce. Fatigue Manager complies with all UK legislation and Network Rail standards, HSE Fatigue Risk Index Calculator and Network Rail Hidden hours. It helps companies manage fatigue and risk compliance as well as RISQS scheme requirements. Fatigue Manager makes it easy to plan, view and manage a workforce and workflow. By viewing a dashboard, management reports can be easily accessed, facilitating the monitoring of key workflow data. This reduces administration and offers cost efficiencies through saving time and resources.

Building a beautiful environment Forbo Flooring Systems help to create a greener rail environment with Marmoleum FR² & Striato FR floor coverings

esigning rail vehicles to be greener is not just about using more eco-friendly engine parts and body components, it also means using sustainable products in the interior of the rail vehicle. Marmoleum FR² is a linoleum floor covering made from natural materials. A floor covering associated with sustainability, durability, high quality and innovative design. Natural ingredients The key raw materials used in the linoleum production include linseed oil, which comes from the flax plant seeds, wood floor as production waste from controlled forestry plantations and jute, a crop whose fibres provide the material for the membrane onto which the linoleum is calendared. These raw materials are obtained from their natural habitat right where they grow and renew, often in just twelve months time. Jute and flax are annual crops that can be harvested just like wheat or corn. Extracting rosin is a continuous process, while wood flour, a waste material from the timber industry, is derived from European production forests. Limestone is available in abundance.

CO2 neutral floor coverings Forbo’s Marmoleum FR² and Striato FR have been independently confirmed as CO₂ neutral floor coverings in the cradle to gate phase of the product’s life cycle, without the need for offsetting. In simple terms, the CO₂ produced in the extraction, transportation and manufacturing process of Marmoleum FR² / Striato FR is balanced by the removal of CO₂ through the growing of its natural ingredients such as flax, jute and rosin.

We adapted to dynamic continual change and overcame the challenges posed by a global pandemic. This has been achieved by the extraordinary efforts of everyone involved within our teams throughout the UK. Interaction with our customers has moved to ECI and multistage tendering meaning that we have been able to consistently provide our customers increased out-turn value and projects that closer match their needs and expectations. A key area of note is that of digital construction. Within the past 18 months we have seen a move towards projects that have been built virtually before they are built technically. This has led to improved utilisation of space on restricted sites, clash detection and avoidance and a much greater

ability to be able to adapt to the inevitable dynamic change that occurs on every site. A great example of this is our soil nailing works on the Bearsted blockade where we successfully estimated, planned, rehearsed, and delivered a 14-day blockade from conception to completion within six months. The use of digital tools meant we could test and prove our approach quickly, simply and without getting muddy boots. All of our rail sector projects go through a digital rehearsal to ensure that all goes to plan and there are no issues when we get to delivery. We adapted to dynamic continual change and overcame the challenges posed by a global pandemic whilst successfully delivering numerous complex projects. This was achieved by making use of our ‘break glass in case of emergency’ Continuity

Planning, developed over the previous ten years, which foresaw this circumstance as one of its scenarios in an environment that many did not. Our site teams adapted using social distancing, temperature checks, physical barriers and air fed extraction hoods borrowed from the extractive industries part of our business to continue to support our customers and the challenges they faced. All of these measures were implemented on our extensive work bank on the CP6 Network Rail Frameworks across the UK. A year of exceptional success The pandemic has hugely impacted the way many people work and where they work. This instant, huge change to peoples commuting habits meant that the railway sector found itself in a position of massively reduced 201

Geotechnical

traffic on their infrastructure, enabling the sector to quickly mobilise the opportunities to deliver projects. Through our engagement with numerous CP6 Framework contractors we stepped up to the challenges that were being laid down. There was a need to comply with all the Health and Safety requirements associated with the pandemic while embracing the opportunities to accelerate the delivery of numerous key projects on the Network Rail Infrastructure. Where blockades previously took 12-18 months to plan and deliver, it become possible to do this within six months. This was the approach available to us at Bearsted and Warhurst, which over delivered in their performance and delivery. Further accelerated success has been delivered at the Lovers Walk project. The way we work at BAM Ritchies • We have Integrated Solutions – One team, eight specialisms We harness talent from our eight ground engineering disciplines to create a fully integrated team. A team equipped to manage all moving parts of a rail project construction process to increase value, lower risk and reduce waste in ground engineering. • We are Digital – We build it before we build it From pre-construction to delivery, we use forward-thinking digital tools that minimise risk and help us collaborate more successfully, with you, our supply chain, and the community. It helps us deliver safe, efficient rail projects every time. • We are Predictable – Your deadlines, our guarantee We don’t do surprises. That’s why we arm our team with digital techniques to keep well ahead of the construction process. So, we can stay in control of our performance and fix problems before they cause delays. Our blockades exceed expectations and deliver right first time, on time, every time. • We are Sustainable – Engineered for the future At BAM Ritchies, reducing our carbon footprint is a fundamental. Not only do we invest in energy efficient plant, fossil fuel alternatives, materials, and construction processes. We also upskill the companies we work with, to instil sustainability through the supply chain. We don’t have an alternative so we must change.

Lovers Walk Rig

Building a sustainable railway Our future is in the balance, we have to change the way that we deliver what we do so that we can guarantee a world for generations to come. We also have to guarantee that the rail infrastructure is resilient to the impact of Climate change and enables problem free travel for the passengers. We have changed all our plant over to be fuelled on HVO, so cutting 90 per cent of the carbon footprint of our plant, we continue to invest in upgrading and replacement of our plant fleet so its more efficient, reliable, and economic. We already have cement free concrete for piles, we have recycled steel for rebar, soil nails and rock bolts. We have solar panel powered welfare, offices, and security. We have electric cars and vans for our people. We are investing in research with universities to find alternatives to cement in the grout we need for our projects, this is the last hurdle to a virtually carbon free future for our geotechnical and ground engineering disciplines. This is our aim and our vision, to deliver a sustainable railway. If we all contribute and all make the changes then we will achieve a future for generations to come. Company profile BAM Ritchies is the specialist geotechnical division of BAM Nuttall Ltd; one of the UK’s leading civil engineering contractors and an operating company of the European construction group Royal BAM.

Reaching out to keep on track Network rail have committed to support the government’s target of being net-zero by 2050 and deliver £4 billion of efficiencies through use of new technology and innovative approaches. This involves working closely with their supply chain to improve productivity through new technology and innovative methods of working

22m long reach with envelope control

he selection of construction equipment for current schemes across CP6 (2019-2024) demands careful consideration not only in terms of environmental credentials, but also capability and availability of specialist plant to ensure these targeted efficiencies are met. Long reach excavator specialists, WM Plant Hire, with a wide-ranging fleet from four to 115 tonnes have invested heavily in recent years to ensure that they have the capability to tackle almost every eventuality. Whilst the reach is always a major factor, access constraints usually dictate the size of the machine and so the company has extended its offering in this specialist market. Their fleet includes a wide track – low ground pressure long reach machine, a zero tail swing that fully rotates within the width of the tracks and ‘Spider’ or ‘Walking’ excavator that can access where tracked machines are unable to go. Their 14 tonne Spider can work on steep slopes, in deep water and climb over obstacles such as fencing and safety barriers and has successfully completed some critical projects. Involvement in the rail sector for over 25 years has developed their expertise and allowed them to enhance their offering to help clients overcome challenges faced. Working on numerous high-profile contracts including HS1, HS2, Crossrail, Hooley Cutting, London Underground and Evergreen, together with emergency 204

schemes and blockades at Barnehurst, Bearsted, Crowhurst, High Brooms and Newington Embankment to name a few, have demonstrated that efficiencies can be achieved by selecting the right machine regardless of the application. The company also offers experienced and dedicated long reach operators which it believes gives the customer the very best in safe and productive working. Commitment to safety and environment Working closely with the equipment manufacturer on the exact machine specification ensures that safety features are enhanced wherever possible to meet the stringent requirements of rail operations. Their capability to offer the full range of machine control systems: height, lift, slew and envelope control, together with additional safety features including 360 degree all round vision cameras, boom and dipper mounted cameras and LED lights, is designed to maximise safety. Above all and one of key safety features of the long reach excavator is the fact that operations can be carried out at a safe distance with minimal disruption to the rail network by allowing lines to remain open. WM Plant Hire have shown their commitment to environmental improvements across the fleet with the latest low emission technology employed and most recently using alternative greener fuels such as HVO.

Earthworks and embankments Network Rail’s strategy outlines its aspiration ‘to see infrastructure free from service-affecting earthworks failures’ placing an emphasis on key activities within its earthworks asset management to achieve this aim including failure detection and better targeted capital interventions to reduce disruption to train services. With a major benefit of ‘long reach’ operations allowing lines to remain open and improve efficiency WM Plant Hire have seen their fleet of specialist machines working well across the UK with key Network Rail contractors, demonstrating their versatility in assisting the delivery of soil nailing, embankment stabilisation and emergency repair schemes. Emergency response Due to unprecedented heavy rain last winter a section of embankment dating back to Victorian times was affected by a land slip in Kent, at Newington between Rainham and Sittingbourne. Having the necessary resources, the company mobilised its machines swiftly to assist Network Rail engineers working 24/7 with contractors Van Elle and Balfour Beatty to deliver 62 metres of sheet piled wall, removal of 1,000 tonnes of slipped clay, placement, and compaction of new engineered fill and 329 metres of track drainage. Ongoing bad weather caused further slippage at High Brooms near Tunbridge

Geotechnical – Excavation

Wells on a larger scale. Working with BAM Nuttall to remove some 5000 tonnes of failed material, WM Plant supplied more than four long reach machines including their 13-metre rubber tracked long reach machines working from track level and larger, more powerful 18-metre and 22-metre long reach excavators working from the top of the embankment using GPS machine control technology to reprofile to the new design. Their 22-metre long reach was used by BAM Ritchies to provide the long-term fix using soil nailing to anchor the slope and this was fitted with an electronic slew restrictor for safe working near the overhead lines. The really critical task was to clear material in close proximity of these overhead power lines that couldn’t be isolated – this is where the ‘Spider’ machine came into its own. With the capability to work directly on the 35-degree steep slope, the Batemag Spider machine was able to work within safe distance of the cables using a tilt-rotate unit to allow grading at any angle to be achieved with any buckets or attachments. While many rail emergencies can involve blockades often the use of long reach for planned works can avoid this. At Morley Station

working with Story Contracting a 13-metre long reach fitted with rubber tracks enabled soil nailing operations to be carried out over a wall from local highway reducing the need for works trackside and therefore duration of closure required.

Spider Batemag

Technology and innovation Rail embankment sites can often face real challenges with access constraints. Innovative approaches using machines within the WM Plant Hire fleet have improved efficiencies in embankment schemes by overcoming some of these problems. Their latest 16-metre reach ‘Zero Tail Swing’ long reach machine was used for some vegetation removal on a blockade and the ‘Spider’ Excavator has a proven track record on slopes. The fitting of

electronic machine control further enhances the safety and efficiency and is now widely accepted for that added safety benefit. Ensuring customers benefit from new innovations and investment is particularly important to this family business. With their passion and dedication, they actively seek feedback from clients to ensure their continual investment in their fleet reflects customer needs. To this end, current investment is being targeted to enable the supply in the New Year of more zero-tail long reach machines for constrained sites together with 22-metre long reach machines, specially configured for maximum capability with increased lifting power that may be needed for soil nailing operations. Larger drill masts weighing several tonnes are required for certain projects, with WM Plant Hire reporting one such job using a mast weighing nine tonnes fitted to their larger CAT 374 long reach machine – now that really is impressive!

since the start of the pandemic has been the worrying rise in alcohol and drug use and the impact that this is having on workforce wellbeing and safety at work, particularly in more safety critical industries, such as rail and construction. Medigold Health offers market-leading alcohol and drug testing and support services through its specialist Hampton Knight division, which has over 21 years’ experience in this field. It continues to invest in technology and systems that will help to streamline the process of testing and reporting, rolling out the latest testing equipment and providing advice to employers on policy and ways to support those with substance dependency issues.

The impact on mental and health and wellbeing Smith added: ‘Alcohol and drug misuse can disrupt spatial awareness, affect reaction times and lead to a lack of co-ordination, which can make accidents more likely. It can significantly impair employees’ ability to function safely and productively at work. ‘However, perhaps one of the most significant effects of drug and alcohol misuse is its impact on mental health. It is our belief that organisations should support employees who declare an alcohol or drug dependency to access the help and treatment they need. All organisations have a duty of care for the wellbeing of their employees, and it is much more individuals drinking at home. Over 5,500 drivers failed the roadside breath test last year between the hours of 6am and 12pm. ‘Alcohol and drug misuse can have a significant impact in the workplace, often resulting in higher levels of absence and reduced performance and greatly increasing risks to health and safety. A robust and effective alcohol and drug testing policy can be a key component of ensuring safety in the workplace for everyone’. Non-judgemental support reaps rewards ‘Hampton Knight advocates a proactive and constructive approach to managing the issue of substance misuse. We believe that any testing programme should be underpinned by a robust policy which seeks to educate

Scot Smith, CEO of Hampton Knight said: ‘There has never been a more important time to focus on your employees’ wellbeing. The increase in problem drinking and substance misuse during the pandemic has been well documented. The latest statistics on drug use indicate that over a quarter of a million individuals are treated for substance misuse annually in the UK. In fact, the UK has one of the highest rates of drug-related deaths in Europe. ‘Alcohol misuse alone costs the UK around £7.3 billion a year through absenteeism, lost productivity, and workplace accidents. The cost to society, including the impact on the NHS and policing, is even greater at £22 billion. ‘Statistics suggest that 75 per cent of those seeking help with alcohol are in work, so it is perhaps no surprise that 40 per cent of accidents at work involve the use of alcohol.’ ‘Morning after effect’ impacts safety ‘One of the most significant risks in this area is the impact of the ‘morning after effect’. As it takes the body one hour to process a single unit of alcohol, consuming large measures in high volumes can mean that employees remain above the minimum legal limit for driving the next day. This has been exacerbated by the pandemic, with many 208

and promote awareness and that employers should offer non-judgemental support to any employees who ask for help. ‘That’s why we provide an end-to-end solution, complementing our flexible alcohol and drug testing services with policy review guidance, counselling and support services and relevant advice and training for managers on how to support individuals who have been identified as having a substance dependency, to help ensure that any issues are dealt with sensitively, fairly and effectively.

less disruptive and costly to support existing staff and get them the help they need than to dismiss them, and then re-hire and train new colleagues. Substance misuse is an illness and employees experiencing issues are entitled to support under the Equality Act 2010. ‘It is vital that we work to address the stigma associated with substance abuse because that is the only way to tackle the hugely detrimental impact of this situation. Hampton Knight can assist by providing initial guidance on how to manage the situation as sensitively as possible by arranging specialist assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. We can also help to draw up a counselling contract between you and your employee and arrange one-to-one support via one of our associate counsellors. ‘Introducing alcohol and drug testing within the workplace starts with having a robust policy in place. Getting this right provides a solid foundation for processes and procedures that everyone can understand and follow. The policy needs to be clear and simple and must be communicated to all employees.’ To find out more about Hampton Knight’s alcohol and drug testing services, get in touch via the contact information below.

Heavy Lifting – Bridges

Staying on track Much has been said about the change in direction for Britain’s railways with the integrated rail plan published at the end of 2021

he ambition is to deliver improvements faster than intended, for the HS2 eastern leg and Northern Powerhouse Rail. Covid-19 has played a role in altering some of the assumptions on which the scheme was designed and, bearing in mind its scale and scope, we should perhaps not be surprised that national projects need to evolve, rather than simply ‘be rolled out’. Still, one element of these plans is incontestable: the replacement of older infrastructure is something that has the potential to ‘derail’ entire project timelines, to upset the communities being served by this network, and to increase costs exponentially. Insight pays dividends With Osprey’s experience in replacing rail infrastructure, the temptation is to say, ‘we know how to do this’. However, the reality is that, while we have proprietary methods that bring time and cost efficiencies to each project plan – every major bridge replacement on the network is a unique and challenging exercise. These are some of our rail network highlights over the last 24 months, illustrating the range of projects we’ve worked on across the network. We’ve created new approaches to this particular field of specialist logistics and set new records in the process, working for clients that include Alun Griffiths, J. Murphy & Sons, Dyer and Butler, and BAM Nuttall: Bewsey Street – August 2021 On behalf of J Murphy & Sons Limited, we removed and replaced a Structure 129 railway bridge during a 72-hour possession in Warrington town centre – challenges aplenty, at every stage. A full swept path analysis had to be done on half a kilometre of public highway, navigating both trees and street furniture. The weathering 150Te bridge was lifted clear of its abutments with the Enerpac JS250 system, aboard a ten axle, four file self-propelled modular transport (SPMT) arrangement and temporarily stooled at height in a designated compound – we own our own fleet of SPMTs, and continuously challenge ourselves to find new and innovative use cases that benefit our clients. The new 26-metre long, 350Te bridge was then loaded and installed less than 18 210

hours after the existing bridge was lifted clear. With the JS250 system, we showed our team can innovate, delivering efficient and safe operations: this project clocked up over 4,000 accident-free hours alongside other contractors throughout the weekend. Stour Bridge – May 2021 To replace one of Network Rail’s 1900 bridges, we were planning for a new type of installation – direct fix – that has all the rail infrastructure in place, prior to installation. The bridge is fabricated; the concrete decks are cast, and the tracks are directly fixed, so there’s no ballast needed on the deck.

This new approach is going to be pivotal for Network Rail, as the underside of this new type of bridge now sits 350mm higher at the 1-in-100 flood level for the River Stour. Less risk, more sustainable infrastructure and, crucially, an increased line speed through this part of the network. Penstone Bridge – May 2021 Dyer & Butler commissioned us to replace the Network Rail Penstone Bridge. This involved the tightest access and the tightest timelines too, with the full gamut of our heavy lift and transport equipment in play. That included SPMTs, climbing jacks, gantry

systems, our turntable and a large amount of supporting steelwork – the infrastructure was handed back ten hours early. Warrington Bridge – April 2020 At Warrington Bank Quay, J Murphy & Sons Limited asked us to support them in the removal of one old railway bridge carrying two railway tracks, and the installation of its replacement, all over a Bank Holiday weekend. Minimum downtime is crucial. Despite the pandemic being in full flow at this point, and new ways of working such as Covid testing being necessary, we handed back on time and on budget, as always – in fact, we have a reputation for handing over early. Whaley Bridge – November 2020 Sometimes, the space restrictions of a working environment mean a straightforward move does not involve moving straight forwards. This is where Osprey excels. In Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, the town’s Reservoir Road bridge needing a replacement. To support J Murphy & Sons Limited here, we used two SPMT (Self-Propelled Modular Transporter) set-ups, each one driven

individually, to remove the two half bridge sections – each one weighing in at around 20 tonnes and install two new U-Decks weighing 60 tonnes each. The maximum width we could put on the road was the same as the trailers themselves, about 5.5 metres, as we needed to move through a residential area. Each section is about twelve metres long, so we fitted a turntable to the top of each SPMT configuration – the first time this had been done, a unique solution for an unusual but increasingly common challenge. We know how to excel in tight spaces, and we’ll take this insight into other projects too. This configuration let our Heavy Lift team pick each bridge section up, move clear of the abutments, and rotate the bridge so that the longer length would then run along the road rather than across it. By planning the setup and delivery of equipment down to the last detail, we were able to use all the space available but minimise the disruption for the community and for Network Rail.

weighed in at over 5,200 tonnes, making it one of the UK’s heaviest single-span bridges. Working for Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd, we used a 144-axle SPMT with 576 wheels, a brilliant team and an innovative arrangement of hydraulic jacks and longitudinal beams to move the superstructure at Gipsy Patch carefully into place. Our approach to installing fixtures on rail infrastructure at ground-level, before moving the asset anywhere really, has set the standard for this kind of project now. We reduce the risks of working at height instantly, and the installation can happen in parallel – there’s no need to factor extra time into the project plan. Like much of the new infrastructure we’re helping to deliver, the Network Rail installation at Gipsy Lane should last for at least the next 125 years. We are proud to be helping Britain not just ‘build back, better’, but to be building a network that can support the next generation of freight and rail passengers, and beyond.

Heritage Railway

Steam railway signals a greener future The last days of steam were not pretty. Grimy, soot-caked, poorly-maintained locomotives belched their way across the land, awaiting their final journey to the scrapyard

Green is clean – the little Terrier locomotive on the right will always win the hearts of visitors to the Kent & East Sussex Railway, but the diesel railcar wins hands down when it comes to being environmentally-friendly. Image courtesy of Ian Scarlett.

ore than 3,000 miles of railway had been axed, more than 2,000 stations closed. Those that remained were shabby. The immaculately uniformed stationmasters were to become a memory. And so it might be seen as ironic that today’s preserved heritage lines are prominent in the campaign to protect the environment. The Kent & East Sussex Railway, which runs through the picturesque Rother Valley, is typical. Its locomotives, lovingly scrubbed and polished by willing volunteers, look as beautiful as when they were built – which in some cases was nearly 150 years ago. A million and more miles under their belts, these historic locomotives amble serenely along the ten-mile track from Tenterden, in Kent, calling at Rolvenden, Wittersham Road and Northiam, before reaching their destination at Bodiam in Sussex. The stations boast fresh paint and fabulous flowers. The volunteer staff, welcome passengers as friends rather than customers. This desire to return to gentler, kinder times, might explain the paradox of an enterprise relying on fossil-burning engines being so committed to the green cause. The K&ESR has in 2021 planted more than 2,000 trees along the railway line; an enticing ‘Nature Detective’ activity sees 212

passengers young and young-at-heart given a spotters’ guide, so they know the best places to watch out for the abundant wildlife; and the railway has formed a specialist team to concentrate on all aspects of sustainability. K&ESR trustee Paul Vidler, from Brighton, is a town planner and has been a volunteer with the K&ESR for nearly 50 years currently volunteering as one of the Company Directors, a Signalman and leading the Railway’s recently formed Sustainability Committee. Paul said: ‘Whilst we are operating a railway powered by coal and diesel, we are a business that owns five stations and a ten-mile stretch of line in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.’ Tenterden Station is in a conservation area. The Railway believes it is the first heritage line in the UK to start using biodiesel. First usage following tests has been extremely encouraging and the move will increase the railway’s green credentials. Although best known for its steam locomotives, which are up to 150 years old, the K&ESR also operates a regular diesel service. Paul said: ‘We all know that burning fossil fuel is bad for the planet, but heritage railways are limited in what we can do to reduce our emissions.’ Between them, heritage lines use a steady 35,000 tonnes a year and the

problem sourcing coal is starkly illustrated by figures revealing the collapse of the UK mining industry. In 1913, an astonishing 292,000,000 tonnes were produced. By 2020 this had fallen to 1,700,000 tonnes and by 2025 it will be just 2,500 tonnes, largely from the Forest of Dean, according to the Heritage Railway Association. However there is now a premium hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) made from sustainable raw materials, which releases just 195kg of greenhouse gas for every 1,000 litres of diesel burned, compared to 3,600kg for traditional diesel. Some of the first delivery of 2,000 litres was used by the diesel observation train during the intensive summer train service and it was reported as having ‘never run so well’. Paul said: ‘We want to ensure that where we can, we are doing our bit for environmental responsibility. This new Crown HVO is made from renewable, sustainable raw materials, none of which releases any new CO2 into the atmosphere. It looks like diesel, smells like diesel (don’t ask what it tastes like!) and will be tried on the diesels we operate. It wasn’t overly

expensive and was delivered very quickly.’ Renewable energy is high on the agenda. Paul said: ‘We can consider solar panels, wind turbines, heat pumps – how can we utilise our stations and buildings. ‘We are looking as an organisation at how we can buy ‘green’, buying local and reducing food/miles. At how we can reuse/recycle our waste, with separate bins for collection from customers, food waste from our dining trains and industrial waste’ Most passengers arrive at the railway by car and this is another area in which Paul believes improvements can be made. ‘Are we promoting other more sustainable modes of transport? We can look at cycle parking, parking for the disabled, electric vehicle charging points.’ The Rother Valley is perfect walking country and the railway sees this is as great opportunity not only to attract passengers, but also provides links on their website to footpaths and K&ESR Railway Walks. The High Weald Landscape Trail passes through Tenterden. ‘Our aim should be to make K&ESR a leader, not a follower, in sustainability and environmental responsibility. There are so many ways we can lead by example, while at

the same time preserving one of the loveliest heritage lines in the country.’ The Kent & East Sussex Railway, which originally ran from Robertsbridge in Sussex to Headcorn in Kent, was the first light railway opened in Britain under the Light Railways Act of 1896. This act was introduced to reduce the cost of building new railways in rural communities but imposed restrictions on speed, number of trains operating and axle weight of locomotives. The line was built by Colonel Stephens, an early pioneer of the concept who subsequently went on to build and manage many more examples around the UK, most closed many years ago but today’s Docklands Light Railway is a modern example of the concept. The railway is now one of Britain’s most loved and original heritage railways, running trains as a popular tourist attraction, from Tenterden, capital of the Kentish Weald through ten miles of countryside, to Bodiam, Sussex in the shadow of the 600 year old National Trust castle.

INFRA Skills invests in new training centre in Birmingham In September 2021, Andrew Stephenson, Minister of State at the Department of Transport and the HS2 Minister, officially opened the new purpose-built INFRA Skills Training Centre in Aston, Birmingham

he new INFRA Skills Training Centre focuses primarily on rail and construction training. This essential training facility will assist infrastructure companies in developing and training their workforce to meet increasing demand, particularly in the rail sector. The West Midlands area is currently responsible for 49,000 railway-related jobs – the joint second-highest concentration of all UK regions outside of London. Purpose-built rail training area has over 80 metres of track The new centre, located in the heart of the West Midlands, provides modern on-site training. Adjacent to the centre is a purposebuilt Rail Training area with more than 80 metres of railway track, including working points, signals, RRAPs and a level crossing. There has been significant investment, making it one of the best training facilities in the country. INFRA Skills trainers work with students to ensure they gain hands-on, practical experience in learning the skills required to build and maintain rail lines. Learn to build, maintain and repair the UK’s infrastructure INFRA Skills actively supports rail and construction companies to build a workforce capable of building, maintaining, and repairing the UK’s infrastructure, while also ensuring our industry has the skills it needs to grow the economy, especially when HS2 opens in 2026. We spoke with the Minister about the government’s training initiatives and the importance of training providers like INFRA Skills in delivering their plans. Andrew Stephenson MP, Minister of State, Department of Transport said: ‘I’d like to pay tribute to the work of INFRA Skills in delivering the new skilled workforce that we need for the rail sector. There is going to be a huge opportunity in the Rail industry in the years to come. There are many people in the workforce currently who are ageing and have a huge amount of skills that they want to pass on to the next generation, but we need to get that new pipeline of talent. We need to bring more people into the sector, and therefore, INFRA Skills has a real role to play

Infrastructure – Skills

Providing people for infrastructure – a contingent labour perspective At £38.9 billion, the size of the UK market for construction contingent labour is now thirteen times larger than it was in the early 1990s, when it was £3 billion

n 2018 there was an average of over 1.3 million temporary or contract workers on the industry’s payroll on a typical day. The temporary labour market continues to thrive because of the flexibility it offers and how well it adapt to changing demands of the infrastructure sector. These ever-increasing demands include managing and motivating a workforce effectively; managing performance and costs of short-term projects; developing the skills required over the long term; collaborating widely across the supply chain; and adding social value to local communities. In addition, today’s customers expect far more from their contingent labour suppliers than in past decades, often wanting to work in partnership with contingent labour suppliers, looking for advice and support for planning and tendering. So, in this diversified contingent labour market, with record levels of employment and job vacancies, how does one company

218

meet these demands while boosting the number of workers available? As experts in recruitment and support services for infrastructure markets, McGinley Support Services explains how they do just that. ‘A competent, qualified and motivated workforce is the first key for every project, no matter how big or small’ says Dermot McGinley, Managing Director, McGinley Support Services. Collaboration drives continuous improvement Given the announcement in late 2021 of the intended £96 billion Integrated Rail Plan and connected long-term planning across the supply chain, it is imperative that all stakeholders and suppliers engage early on when planning these projects, collaborating to provide the most effective and reliable service. A key lesson to note is that the traditional ‘master-servant’ model of command and control is unlikely to get the best outcome, especially in a sector increasingly focused on collaboration with initiatives such as Project 13. Playing multiple labour providers against each other tends to result in a ‘race to the bottom’, leading to inconsistent supply and a poorly motivated workforce. While a true collaborative labour provision can be more complex and timeconsuming to set up, it will deliver greater rewards with a well-trained and loyal workforce. Both procurement and projects need to facilitate open discussions with collaborators, to foster an environment of common goals and shared innovation. This could mean labour desk partners sharing common KPIs and agreeing on robust document processes – part of a ‘new normal’ for McGinley, according to Sean McGinley, Chief Operating Officer.

‘We look for clients, workers and suppliers that share our values and goals, evaluating them for best practices that reflect our own commitment to high standards. We value long term progressive relationships that bring efficiencies, innovation and mutual benefits. Once we are engaged, we offer consistent long term supply opportunities.’ Forward planning boosts workforce management The rail sector makes significant use of contingent labour, so it is crucial for labour providers to be able to effectively identify demand and any ‘hot’ periods of work. Forward planning is crucial in allowing contingent labour providers time to run recruitment campaigns in geo-targeted locations, training and upskilling of workers with specific skill sets and competencies to deliver the works concerned. But in order for this 100 per cent accuracy of labour requirements to be provided, the labour provider must work closely with the customer, to ensure work schedules are available. HSQE Director John Jebson notes the link to safety: ‘The award of multi-year, sole supply contracts has enabled us on certain projects to directly employ more key workers and provide them with job security and an improved career path, whilst minimising changes at short notice. This is the way forward, and a change I am excited to see as that helps overall well-being.’

Infrastructure – Skills

Making a difference to local communities and changing people’s lives The infrastructure sector plays a key part in the Government’s ‘Build Back Better’ plan for growth. Projects on the scale of HS2 add significant demand for labour to a booming sector - it is clear we need to attract high numbers of new entrants to the sector and tackle systemic challenges such as a looming ‘retirement wall’. This means recruiting new entrants, upskilling and training existing workers and expanding apprenticeship programmes and other employment models such as traineeships is a must. The rail network connects communities across the UK and supports millions of lives and many small businesses. For a contingent labour provider, it is about more than just supply of workers and project deadlines. It is important to give back to local communities, creating social value by focusing on employability and so helping all parts of society with job opportunities or by preparing people to apply for work. At McGinley, we aim to make a difference to people’s lives. By getting right into the heart of communities close to where the business works, we can create that legacy.

different needs, including female workers, school leavers, ex-offenders, or the workless, plus those with protected characteristics. We also support food banks and similar community projects.’

According to Fiona Burke, HR Director: ‘Long term contracts allow us to support workers’ development over many years whether trainees, apprentices, or potential future leaders. Taking positive action in our recruitment, we target parts of the UK in most need. We work with many groups with

New solutions for energy distribution in rail vehicles Connectors for rail applications need to be extremely robust, but also easy to install and maintain

ARTING has developed new solutions for rail vehicles which focus on the safety and durability of the entire infrastructure. These three new HARTING products are part of a complete system of cabling that extends from the vehicle roof to the underfloor distribution. The Han® HPR (High Pressure Railway) VarioShell is a housing system which has been specially designed for jumper applications. Thanks to a circumferential internal seal and mounting frame, the two-piece housing/hood achieves an IP69K rating. As the cover is removable, the housing/hood can be installed from both inside and outside the rail vehicle. This also simplifies servicing and maintenance because the housing cover can be opened and faulty conductors or contacts replaced without disconnecting all the connections. The contours of the VarioShell allow dirt deposits to slide off while channels guide water away from the housing screws so that rust does not form. Special curvatures on the upper side ensure that ice and snow slide off without exerting pressure on the wall and housing, increasing service life. The VarioShell is an open system that also houses mounting frames, cable managers and shielding plates to route and hold cables with different diameters. It can be used as a surface or panel mounted housing and is a robust alternative to distribution boxes for installation on the roof, outer wall or bogie. The Han® HPR HPTC (High Performance Transformer Connector) has been developed to meet all the requirements of the rail market. Hoods, housings and cable glands have been optimised for outdoor use, ensuring the connection between pantograph, transformer and train busbar remains stable over the long term. Existing contours on the transformer can be reused, meaning design changes are unnecessary. This product has been specially designed for simple assembly, maximum safety and to minimise the number of components used. A crimped contact on the cable side is inserted into a three-part, touch-proof insulating body and there is a cable gland that protects against dust and moisture whilst also forming part of the shielding, absorbing residual currents and transferring

them to the housing. The hoods and housings are metallically contacting on all sides, which means the cover and underside are connected across the entire contact surface. This is a new development, being the first transformer connector that is specially designed for shielded connections. Collecting and discharging residual currents is achieved with the Han® HPR HPTC P800 thanks to its two separate contact zones. It is directly connected to the flange housing by a surface on the underside and there is a thread on the upper side for a potential grounding, which dissipates the remaining residual currents. Neither shrinking nor taping are required in the assembly process and the interfaces are quick to prepare; simply crimp the contacts, insert the insulating body with shield contact into the housing, close the cover, and the cable side is ready. Two coding elements in the panel mounted housing enable 16 different possible combinations and one connector is sufficient for the transformer connection, meaning there is no risk of confusion.

The Han® HPR TrainPowerLine (TPL) replaces existing solutions such as UIC, power or Y-distributors for train busbars. It is tailored to modern trains running in a network and offers weight advantages of up to ten kilograms per rail vehicle compared to previous standards. As a result, very little space is required to reliably supply all the electrical equipment and systems of the train. Following requests from customers, the application was simplified considerably. A uniform solution replaces the many variants that were previously required for busbar construction and the number of parts used has been significantly reduced. At the same time, safety is top priority: male and female contacts are designed to be touch-proof and there are ground potentials on the top and bottom of the housing. The contours of the TPL also effectively remove dirt and ice to the sides. Previous interfaces for the underfloor were often hard-wired. The TPL is designed so that all connection points are now pluggable. The housings are equipped with 221

Innovation

Han® HC Modular high-current contacts that transmit power up to 800 A / 5100 V DC / 3000 V AC. The housing is based on the Han® HPR design and is made of corrosionresistant aluminium die castings. Therefore, the TPL is ideally suited for use in harsh environmental conditions and outdoor applications. This interface is a uniform connector design for the entire underbody distribution system of a train. Its advantages include shorter installation times, more economical use of materials, weight reduction and standardised assembly processes. As well as product systems, HARTING also offer customised solutions for rail vehicle technology. This supports the trend of progressive modularisation, whereby modern rail vehicles are often built at different production sites. This modular approach offers many advantages to manufacturers such as time savings both in the assembly and commissioning

222

of rail vehicles. With specialisms including cable assemblies, box builds and inter-car jumpers for the rail market, HARTING use their experience to design and create custom solutions that meet your exact requirements. All customised products are built and tested at their fully IRIS-certified manufacturing facility in Northampton and are based on marketleading connectors from the extensive HARTING range, including M12 and Han-Modular®. Inter-car jumpers are designed to run connections between train carriages, including roof or underfloor systems, ensuring a reliable supply of data, signals and power along the train. The HanModular® series allows you to create a versatile solution by combining individual inserts for different transmission media into standard-sized industrial connector housings. The series offers over a hundred different inserts, enabling a wide range of customisable combination options. For example, as the demand for data communications in rail vehicles increases, powerful network and data interfaces are required to power information systems and fast, reliable internet access. The Han® Gigabit module enables Cat. 7A transmission in the inter-vehicle area and

delivers higher frequency bandwidth for the flow of data. The interface is also shock and vibration resistant according to EN 61373 and shielded against electromagnetic interference (EMC). For the connection of WLAN equipment, X-coded M12 PushPull connectors enclosed in a box build are the ideal solution. As space for components becomes increasingly scarce in rail vehicles, the M12 PushPull offers handling, time and reliability benefits. The two sections are clicked into place by hand, a tool-free installation method which simplifies tricky installations and means the assembly density can be significantly increased, helping to save valuable space. No matter what the degree of complexity, HARTING have the capacity to produce bespoke, project-specific solutions to suit your needs, including installing components, efficiently routing cable harnesses and fabrication. To further assist you, their design team can create a 3D CAD visualisation of your build beforehand to ensure absolute accuracy before manufacturing begins.

Innovation – Insulation

Thermal and acoustic insulation for passenger safety and comfort The safety and comfort of passengers and staff is of paramount importance to rail operators, as is profitability

hose responsible for the design and maintenance of railway vehicles can help to meet all three criteria with the selection of the correct thermal and acoustic insulation. Leading global manufacturer of flexible equipment insulation material and engineered foams, Armacell, has more than 50 years’ experience in the railway industry, with a product range specifically designed to meet the specific requirements of this sector, including a comprehensive collection of fire safety and acoustic solutions. Fire safety In the event of a fire, for the protection of passengers and staff alike, all railway vehicles must meet the fire protection standard EN 45545-2 (Railway applications – Fire protection on railway vehicles Part 2: Requirements for fire behaviour of materials and components), with refrigerant and air-duct pipework achieving at least Hazard Level (HL) 2. The objective of these standards is to minimise the risk of fires starting, the level of toxic smoke generated and the spread of fire throughout railway vehicles. Armacell’s ArmaFlex® Rail range is the first flexible closed-cell thermal insulation with integrated fire protection for the railway industry; while some products achieve HL2, others meet HL3, providing the highest possible level of fire protection. ArmaFlex Rail SD offers exceptional fire properties and extremely low smoke density, achieving an excellent Euroclass Bs1 D0 rating for insulation tubes. Its smoke development is also up to ten times lower than that of a standard elastomeric insulation product, with self-extinguishing material that does not propagate fire or produce burning droplets. ArmaFlex Rail includes a wide range of products for application throughout vehicles, including in-heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC-R) systems on floors, walls and ceilings and around lavatory modules. In addition to providing a superior degree of fire protection, ArmaFlex Rail solutions guarantee the reliably low level of thermal conductivity necessary to prevent heat loss 224

and so ensure energy-efficiency. The energy required for heating and air-conditioning rail vehicles alone can account for up to 40 per cent of total energy use. The products are constructed from Armacell’s ArmaFlex closed-cell flexible elastomeric foam (FEF). Closed-cell FEF provides a superior degree of thermal insulation to open-cell materials such as mineral wool, maintaining a reliably low level of thermal conductivity over time. Comprising millions of tightly packed, closed air-filled cells, each bonded to those around it, ArmaFlex forms an impenetrable barrier for air and moisture, so maintaining thermal performance while mitigating against mechanical corrosion of the insulated equipment. A steadily low level of thermal conductivity is particularly important when it comes to the insulation of fresh-and

waste-water systems relating to washrooms and on-board kitchens, as temperature fluctuations can lead to contamination with legionella bacteria. ArmaFlex is the only FEF featuring built-in Microban® antimicrobial protection, guarding against the development of bacteria, mould and mildew which, over time, can compromise the performance of both the insulation itself and the equipment it protects. ArmaFlex Rail FEF products are easy to install on account of their flexibility, built-in vapour barrier and homogenous, threedimensionally linked structure which allows the material to be easily cut without the release of harmful dust and fibres. Acoustic comfort Optimising acoustic comfort is one of the most important factors in improving the

Innovation – Insulation

overall customer experience and making railways more competitive with other transportation modes. Armacell’s ArmaComfort® Rail products provide superior sound attenuation technology, minimising disturbance for a higher level of comfort for passengers as they sleep, work and communicate. Rolling noise is the main source of sound on high-speed trains, permeating carriages through floors, walls and ceilings and around doors. As trains become faster and passenger expectations rise, the minimisation of this sound becomes ever more important. Those responsible for the design and maintenance of railway vehicles have to balance the need for a low degree of noise transmission with a requirement to minimise the weight of and amount of space required by acoustic insulation. The lighter the train, the more energyefficient, environmentally sustainable and cost-effective its operation. The ultra-thin ArmaComfort range comprises products that offer an optimal weight-to-performance

ratio. A 3mm insulation provides a transmission loss of Rw 30 dB, while 5mm achieves a loss of Rw 34 dB. Company profile Armacell is an environmentally responsible manufacturer: ISO 14001-certified, its manufacturing processes minimise the emission of greenhouse gases produced and are energy-efficient. The company offers an unrivalled level of service: with a UK-based dedicated customer service team, national sales representatives and a technical support and application training service, it is able to offer a large range of value-added services. Based in Oldham, Greater Manchester, Armacell UK is part of Armacell, a multinational organisation employing 3,135 employees across 24 manufacturing plants in 16 countries.

Legal

Utilising camera surveillance Now ubiquitous in England, camera surveillance offers the possibilities of crime prevention and increased employee and passenger safety

he recent introduction of Body Worn Cameras (BWCs) by Train Operating Companies (TOCs) such as South Western Railway, together with increased usage of CCTV, present significant compliance challenges because the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 are likely to be engaged. To set the scene, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides the rules for the storage, management, and processing of personal data. Following Brexit, the United Kingdom UK-GDPR replaced the EU-GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) was amended. The UK-GDPR similarly applies to organisations which process or control ‘personal data’, i.e., information which relates to an identifiable individual. Since the objective of surveillance within rail stations and trains is to monitor and record the actions of individuals and identify these individuals as necessary to prevent crime, most of the data collected could fall into the category of personal data within the meaning of the UK-GDPR and DPA. TOCs should have undertaken a Data Protection Impact Assessment before introducing CCTV and BWCs to assess and reduce the data protection risks associated with using these surveillance methods within trains, stations and other areas. For example, BWCs are portable and consequently vulnerable to loss, theft, or damage. How are these risks to be reduced? The loss of personal data may incur substantial penalties, and thus TOCs must ensure necessary safeguards are in place to prevent unauthorised access to the data. Any data stored on the camera itself should be encrypted in order to minimise the risk of a data security breach. Other measures to reduce risk include staff training, and ensuring that operators of CCTV cameras are licensed by the SIA. In order to rely on the Prevention of Crime Exemption successfully, the use of surveillance cameras must be necessary, legitimate, and proportionate. In essence, their use should be restricted as much as is possible. For example, should all front-line staff wear the cameras, or is it sufficient for those working in particular areas to wear them? If the BWC captures both audio and video there needs to be an independent justification for obtaining and retaining each. 226

There may be circumstances where it is legitimate to retain images but not audio: for example where audio is irrelevant to the circumstances surrounding any crime

and simply records unrelated private conversations. Where audio and video recordings cannot be separated, the cameras should only be utilised in instances where

Legal

both are appropriate, such as for identifying perpetrators of crime. Individuals must be informed that they are being monitored and recorded, with prominent signage or announcements. Signs should contain contact details for the TOC or other industry party operating the system and explain the purpose of the monitoring. Any personal data captured should be retained for as brief a period as possible so as not to frustrate the purpose for which it was obtained. The information may be passed to the police without notifying the data subjects if that would prejudice the prevention of crime. Finally, TOCs should be aware that the present CCTV codes of conduct are outdated, with the most recent ICO code of practice published in 2014. In the ever-changing world of security technologies, TOCs need to be alert to new data protection risks and conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments to assess them. In summary, TOCs should verify that cameras are only recording the individuals and locations necessary for the legitimate purpose, and that the data recorded is stored for as little time as possible.

Level Crossings

Schweizer Electronic Group The Schweizer Electronic Group is a market leader for automated protection of track workers and equipment running on rails across Europe and the rest of the world

or over 50 years, Schweizer Electronic AG has developed and manufactured train detection and warning systems. Still a family owned business with headquarters in Switzerland, the groups goal is to increase safety whilst also improving access efficiency, user friendliness and overall productivity. Supplying countries across Europe for over a decade, the group provides a range of products including: • Automated Track Warning Systems (ATWS). • Lookout Operated Warning Systems (LOWS). • Semi-Automated Track Warning Systems (SATWS). • Signal Controlled Warning Systems (SCWS). • FLEX Level Crossings. Our core competencies centre on high security remote control and radio data transmission systems, along with interactive

diagnostic systems for use wherever safety and efficiency are important. Within the business, all operating processes are governed and certified in accordance with ISO9001:2006 and CENELEC EN 50 126. Our newest radio-based product, Minimel Lynx provides a platform for the next generation of track warning systems and is currently being used in LOWS, ATWS and SATWS across Europe. Automated Track Warning Systems (ATWS) Our ATWS system uses mechanical treadles or the most up to date wheel detection systems attached to the running rails to automatically detect the wheels of passing trains. These are positioned to provide a warning to track workers of approaching trains. The distances are applicable to the work area. A control unit processes these signals and passes the warning signal to either cable connected lamps or horns, whichever

is required for the work site. This signal can also be used to operate individually carried radio warning devices for each worker and work group. A combination of signal devices can be set up to monitor train activity through crossovers and signaling, which leads to trains being automatically being counted out of the work area, therefore cancelling out the warning. ATWS gives: • Automatic detection and warning. • Improved track access and workgroup productivity. • Reduced headcount. • Enables work on live rail or near an adjacent open line. Lookout Operated Warning Systems (LOWS) LOWS operates as a manual system and requires manpower to detect the trains approach.

Lighting Management Systems

Delmatic takes control of lighting at major rail projects Delmatic are leading international suppliers of advanced lighting management systems

elmatic have global expertise in supplying systems to some of the world’s largest and most prestigious buildings and rail infrastructure projects, including Crossrail, the Northern Line extension, Kings Cross Station, Doha Metro, Dubai Metro and the Haramain High Speed Railway. Delmatic pioneered electronic lighting control in 1959 and supplied the world’s first smart lighting management system. Today, Delmatic systems reimagine and redefine lighting control, providing absolute flexibility and versatility, achieving optimum energy and operational efficiency, sharing valuable real-time intelligence with other connected systems, integrating emergency light and battery testing and monitoring, and applying biodynamic tuneable-white profiles for enhanced comfort and wellbeing. Delmatic’s lighting management systems are modular, scalable solutions that seamlessly mesh wired, wireless and mixed-mode devices across physical or cloud networks. The systems continuously monitor, analyse and optimise lighting, as well as the performance of connected building services. Delmatic’s innovative multisensors and controllers combine with powerful graphical user interfaces, dashboards and apps, while expert application of open protocols DALI-2, Lon, BACnet, IP, and MQTT technologies, delivers unparalleled insights and intelligence. An unmatched depth of experience, a clear focus on the latest technologies and attentive project management made Delmatic the supplier of choice for Crossrail – Europe’s largest single public infrastructure development. Delmatic’s systems provide smart, secure and energy-efficient management and monitoring of normal and emergency lighting throughout eight Elizabeth line stations – Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel, Custom House and Woolwich as well as the network of shafts and portals. Delmatic’s involvement with Crossrail started at the earliest days of framework design, working collaboratively with the various project teams to create, supply and commission state-of-the-art systems that support Crossrail’s goal to deliver 232

energy-efficient, sustainable solutions. The project included the development of a unique set of BREEAM criteria for underground stations enabling assessment of sustainability and environmental performance. Crossrail is the first underground railway in the world to be rated under the scheme and will set a benchmark for future transportation projects. Delmatic’s smart lighting management systems enhance sustainability and minimise energy consumption through advanced digital dimming, which continuously adapts lighting levels and scenes based on presence, absence and daylight, coupled with the operational efficiencies gained through real-time management and monitoring of the lighting network. The systems log the number of hours each lamp has been in operation and generates relamping plans which avoid the premature replacement of luminaires (with the associated environmental and disposal issues) by ensuring that lamps are sustainably replaced at the optimum point. The systems also play a crucial role in supporting station security and safety. The lighting management systems integrate with the central battery network to provide comprehensive emergency light monitoring and testing, as well as track the performance of every lamp and highlight failures in real time. Innovative software algorithms monitor the illumination impact of individual lamp failures and automatically increase the output of neighbouring lighting to compensate for the outages. Throughout the stations different colour temperatures of lighting are used to promote intuitive wayfinding and transit movement. Commuters are encouraged to instinctively move towards the warmer tones of lighting on the station platforms, after exiting escalators or corridors which are lit in a cooler blue colour.

Delmatic’s innovative lighting management systems installed at Crossrail, received Highly Commended in the category of ‘Best Large Project’ at the 2020 DALI Lighting Awards. DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface), is a dedicated international protocol for digital lighting control that enables the easy installation of robust, scalable and flexible lighting networks. The DALI Lighting Awards showcase the very best application of DALI lighting management solutions around the world, and the accolade is testament to Delmatic’s commitment to design and supply cutting-edge systems of the highest quality. Delmatic’s systems also monitor and manage lighting in the new Northern Line extension stations – Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station. The Northern line extension is the first major expansion of the London Underground in almost 25 years. Delmatic’s smart systems optimise sustainability and energy-efficiency by

Lighting Management Systems

continuously adjusting lighting to changes in occupancy and the contribution of daylight. The systems also integrate with the central battery networks to track the real-time performance and status of the central batteries and provide a complete emergency light monitoring solution. Delmatic’s track record in providing advanced lighting controls for major international transportation projects was instrumental in their selection for Saudi Arabia’s Haramain High Speed Rail network. The 460 km high speed rail line links the cities of Mecca and Medinah via Jeddah and King Abdullah Economic City. Delmatic systems provide powerful scene-setting control and monitoring within the huge destination stations – ranging from 275,000 sqm to 460,000 sqm – as well as control of decorative concourse and façade lighting. During the day, decorative yet efficient lighting scenes sequence according to solar scheduling, daylight detection and occupation. After dark, dynamic scenarios simulate stars in a night sky while precision rotation and focusing of projectors onto spherical chandeliers cascade diamonds of light onto the station concourses and platforms. The complete

systems are managed and monitored across the IP network using Delmatic’s animated graphical software. Delmatic systems provide energy-efficient control of lighting across thirty-seven Doha Metro stations. The lighting management systems provide SCADA and open protocol Modbus communication across the stations’ IT network, and integrate with the stations’ building management system to share key data and optimise operational efficiency. The stations employ luminous lighting schemes designed to enhance the experience and safety of travellers through the underground stations. The unique ‘vaulted spaces’ architecture directs daylight deep into the interior and the Delmatic systems dynamically adjust lighting to replicate the effects of daylight in subterranean areas. Integrated light lines along the stations ceiling and pillars double as wayfinding elements and the systems initiate configurable day, evening, and night lighting accents and scenes as well as support and security functions. Delmatic have over 60 years’ expertise in the supply of advanced lighting management solutions to major international projects. Delmatic’s wealth of experience in the rail

sector, their deep understanding of the unique requirements and challenges of rail projects, and detailed knowledge of current and emerging technologies, enables them to give unique insight into the best-practice applications of advanced open-networked systems that optimise energy-efficiency and sustainability.

Maintenance – Rolling Stock

Cut the right costs The maintenance of rolling stock in a post-NRC world will require intelligence and the power to harness the latest technology

vid online shoppers probably noticed a changing trend from about June 2021. Prior to this we went online, clicked the items we wanted, paid our money and (not many) days later the item arrived on our doorstep. Not so today, where we are increasingly seeing 10, 15 or even more days-long delays in fulfilment and shipping. It is too simplistic to blame Brexit, Covid, or the blocked Suez Canal even, yet all those elements had cumulative marginal impacts on a very lean and fragile system. Chat to senior rail maintenance professionals and they share a similar view of the fragility in the system. Whilst performance and efficiency are high on the NRC agenda, and rightly so, in most organisations costs will need to be managed, and although maintenance is exempt the present voluntary severance scheme (VSS), are we primed to make intelligent cost savings in the future? Might we be sleepwalking into a worse place? The Covid pandemic has challenged many conventional economic forecasts as underlying social behaviour has shifted. 234

In many organisations this is manifesting with significant numbers of people choosing earlier retirement, even with reduced pension, to have a greater quality of life. This is particularly affecting the 55 to 60 age profile. Skilled rail engineering staff disproportionately fill that age profile. A recent study revealed several rail companies have over 35 per cent of staff in that age group (the national average being 27 per cent). This could mean that VSS might adversely impact engineering skill level. Ordinarily this presents an opportunity to fill the ranks with exciting young talent. But, as anyone who has tried recruiting recently will have found, young engineering talent is not in great supply in the UK. At a time when more skilled engineering staff is likely to be needed combined with a high ‘flight risk’ through VSS – caution might be the watch word. Intelligent cost savings will improve value In any transport business, maintenance takes a big slice of the cost cake and continually needs to get leaner. Depot

managers will be hard pushed to explain where such cuts can be made without impact on service. It is likely that in the first tranche of cost-cutting maintenance will be ring-fenced but, in the future, how can we intelligently reduce costs and yet improve value? An experienced planner once suggested that matching load (work hours required) to capacity (people hours to turn spanners) is everything in vehicle maintenance value. Well, it might not be everything, but it is a good 80 per cent for sure. Organisations with a pool of 100 maintenance technicians, often deploy up to ten heads on other duties. Surely taking ten out will have an impact on availability? Not so, given the high service focus of rail what typically happens is quality of maintenance will be marginalised. Not in a safety way, but activities like cleaning and presentation will be compromised, and other minor corners might be cut. As reliability lags poor quality maintenance by about twelve months (depending on fleet age), taking ten heads away will have little immediate effect. Confirmation bias then convinces us, we

Maintenance – Rolling Stock

only needed 90, and often are even tempted to take more away. But what if only 90 heads were required? Measuring productivity is key here, a good figure in an efficient rail maintenance organisation is 60 per cent; values below this indicate it is haemorrhaging hours (cash). Productivity is a key barometer of maintenance performance, measuring it accurately signposts ways to improve value. The Plan-led philosophy is a proactive approach to maintenance that considers efficiency and effectiveness at every juncture. Consider an operating theatre, the surgeon doesn’t set out their own tools, walk down to the X-ray department for the foils. Everything is presented to them so they can perform at 100 per cent during the operation. When the technician arrives on shift, the work instructions, tools, materials, train, and tasking sheets should be ready to start work immediately. Team Leader workstations out on the shop floor where good supervision (production control) is afforded would help the depot deliver at the best performance possible. Although defects cannot be predicted, the plan-led philosophy demands more than just waiting and reacting. Plan-led maintenance

forecasts, schedules, prepares and uses technology more effectively to reduce variability and control defects better. Planled uses a combination of LEAN and MRP tools, in a proactive philosophy. Harnessing technology and making it work for us Modern trains are crammed with technology, data is downloaded from them at a rate the Apollo missions could only dream of. Yet much of it is ignored. Using this technology as part of the plan-led philosophy enables the intelligent application of preventative maintenance. Doors are opened and closed many times a day by passengers; why not use telemetry to spot when door actuators are getting ‘tired’ and schedule a change, rather than changing routinely. In 1974 the USAF undertook a study to consider the impacts of removing preventative maintenance. In the short term they discovered removing maintenance improved reliability. A similar phenomenon was observed by London-serving TOCs during the Olympics. A note of caution, in both cases longer-term issues were noted. RR Aero engines have a big data analyst team considering data streaming from

their 55,000 engines worldwide. Actively applying this data has enabled them to keep engines on wing for eight years, saving airlines millions in overhaul costs. Rail has (at least) equally as capable systems but they are not being utilised to proactively reduce maintenance. EngPro has estimated that by using technology more effectively and challenging maintenance tasks through MSG-3 techniques, over 60 per cent of ‘depot maintenance’ could be safely removed. In the 100 people example above, that means you now only need 40 people. • Maintenance philosophy needs to be proactive. • Matching load and capacity accurately is a vital success enabler. • Grow data analysis capability to leverage the technology better. • Build production engineering capability to safely remove pointless maintenance. • Link this all together in plan-led capability.

Manufacturing

Door to door brush solutions Founded back in 1923 and now part of the KOTI group of companies, Kleeneze-KOTI are the leading manufacturer of brush strip products in the UK

rom humble beginnings selling household brushes door to door around Bristol, Kleeneze-KOTI now design and manufacture flexible brush strip seals and solutions for all aspects of the rail, automotive and aerospace sectors. Brush strip is one of the most adaptable sealing products available and much like Bristol’s own industrial heritage and evolution, Kleeneze-KOTI are continually developing practical solutions to today’s problems. Many of their dedicated team have over 30 years’ experience in providing bespoke solutions, and because they focus entirely on brush strip, Kleeneze-KOTI have built up an unrivalled knowledge and expertise that enables them to provide innovative solutions across all industries. Minding the gap Wherever there are sliding or pivoting parts, brush strips seals the gap perfectly. From cab control levers to signalling and points covers, brush strip seals prevent the intrusion of rodents, dirt and contaminants. Sliding platform screen doors fitted with fire retardant brush strip seals, suppress underground train noise, improve station climatic control and help keep platform environments cleaner. Gaps between sliding train carriage doors and internal panels are discretely sealed with custom formed brush strip, preventing accidental entrapment and foreign objects fouling the door operating system. Passenger safety Escalator Safetystrip is a durable brush deflector designed to provide a tactile reminder to passengers to keep away from the hazard zones between the moving step and the stationery sidewall and reduce the risk of an entrapment incident. First installed on London Underground escalators in 1982, Escalator Safetystrip has been protecting passengers from sidewall entrapment for over 35 years. Successfully fitted to over 400 escalators across the existing network, Escalator Safetystrip and platform screen door seals will also protect the expected 200 million passengers on the new Elizabeth Line due to open in 2022. Trackside cable protection Electrical enclosures, junction boxes and

trackside ducting are warm dry places, irresistible to rodents. There are many points of access through which a determined rodent can squeeze and make a nest and problems occur because rats love to chew. As they gnaw through the protective plastic casing they dangerously expose the vital electrical and data cable. Specially designed RODENTBRUSH is easy to use, and incredibly effective in deterring rodents. Unlike other forms of pest control, RODENTBRUSH can be easily removed for routine maintenance and then replaced for ongoing cable protection. Rodent brush can be exposed to all elements, allows air to circulate and water to drain away.

Always here to help As a close knit and dedicated team, KleenezeKOTI are proud of the products and service they provide. They offer a complete design, advisory and manufacturing service, providing friendly assistance in all aspects of problem solving with brush strip technology.

Manufacturing – Lifting Equipment

Flexibility in manufacturing Majorlift Hydraulic Engineering is a Bristol based manufacturer of specialist lifting equipment

stablished in 1971, we have been designing and manufacturing our own range of machinery for use in automotive, aerospace and defence applications. Increasingly, we are being asked to supply specialist lifting equipment for rail applications and have developed a range of tools for handling accessories up to one tonne in weight, such as actuators, air conditioning fans, cardan shafts and gearboxes, although we have the technology to lift up to 40 tonnes! Increasingly, we are being asked to work alongside the depot’s H&S team to develop safe methods of removing large, often heavy & frequently awkward shaped components from carriages, locos and wagons. A good example of which is a product we developed to remove the steps from carriages on the Eurostar. These weigh around 300kgs and need to be removed at an angle and then supported safely while being moved away from the carriage for maintenance. Once ready, the whole unit must be lifted up and replaced without damaging either the mechanics or the carriage. Developed in under three months, the finished unit was delivered and accepted readily by the customer. Another problematic maintenance issue, faced by many depots is the safe removal & refitting of hydraulic brake actuator units. These are heavy castings where the weight is off centre in several planes. The result is that handling these units, offering them up and fitting them can be a dangerous manoeuvre and there have been reports of finger injuries and traps against the rail. However, Majorlift was able to innovate and produced a solution based on our Patrolman trolley jack, as used by the biggest names in automotive roadside assistance. Combining an elegantly modified design with rails to bridge the pit and a mounting plate to secure the actuator has delivered a solution that makes removal and refitting, safe, quick and straightforward. This particular solution highlights one of the many benefits of using Majorlift. Relatively unknown in the rail sector, Majorlift Hydraulic Equipment limited is the market leading brand in automotive lifting. As such, with designs that use common parts from our volume manufacture of lifting equipment means that the solutions we are offer for rail clients benefit from large scale manufacture of components to provide affordable solutions, even for small batches of products.

We have developed a range of selfsupporting jacks, using a three-stage ram with a mounting plate that allows awkwardly shaped units to be secured and lowered safely, such as accumulators and couplings. The technology is well proven as they have been developed from our successful Vertical Transmission Jacks, used in automotive garages for removing gearboxes and transmissions from Heavy Vehicles. To make this product as versatile as possible, we have been able to standardise the fittings of the mounting plates so that a single base unit can complete several different servicing jobs, meaning cheaper overall cost and less space required for storage. We are encouraging designers to include a ‘jack rail’ in all new pits being installed. This allows users to future proof their facility by building in the ability to run lifting equipment – such as our industry leading commercial pit jack along the length of the bay to support, remove and refit heavy components from anywhere under the carriage, wagon or locomotive being maintained. Design and manufacture of all of our products happens in our factory just outside of Bristol. We use 3D Computer modelling to ensure that components are not over stressed and will be stable in use. We can also use the same software to model the underside of the rail vehicles and the pit to ensure we have the necessary space to carry out the work and to design mountings to fit

the unit being serviced. Our manufacturing facility uses modern CNC technology to machine 95 per cent of the product from raw materials – including all the rams and cylinders, power packs and air motors. Retaining this inhouse allows us to rigorously control the quality of the products and the lead times to our customers. We have invested in a highly flexible manufacturing process that allows cost effective manufacture of small volumes of products. Majorlift can produce large and small solutions, tailored to the customer’s needs – our largest application was to manufacture a bespoke lift for the removal and replacement of engines, gearboxes, cooler and fuel units from the Siemens Class 185 Diesel Train. Probably our smallest product is a turnbuckle, used for securing the trailing arm on bogies being moved for servicing. Majorlift products are in use all over the world and by such well known groups as the AA & the RAC, SKF bearings, Ryder group and Snap on. We are happy to brand for customers and most of our automotive product is sold through distributors in their own colours. We have built a business on a foundation of quality and customer service and would be happy to demonstrate these to you.

Swietelsky Babcock Rail - driving innovation Swietelsky along with our JV partner Babcock (SB Rail), working in collaboration with our rail industry partners have consistently delivered a number of firsts to the UK track infrastructure market

rom the introduction of the Plasser and Theurer AFM2000-RT Ballast distributing systems in 2006 SB Rail have consistently delivered innovative machine systems and working methods, these include: • 125mph plain line track renewal hand backs. • First ever 125mph S&C renewal hand backs. • First ever use of Sprinter concept of tamping in the UK. • First introduction of Plasser and Theurer Unimat 09-4x4/4S Dynamic Tamper with integrated intelligent DTS. Having the ability to handback switch and crossing as well as plain line projects at line speed allows for improved track quality, significantly less disruption and an enhanced passenger experience. Historically, ballast has required a period of settlement after heavy maintenance or renewal activity, this was achieved by normal in-service trains, running at a reduced speed to mitigate against any uneven ballast settlement. Using Dynamic Track Stabilising technology, it simulates the passage of 100,000 tonnes of traffic, thus giving a more uniformed consolidation of the track system and removing the requirement for temporary speed restrictions. Swietelsky were the first UK based Company to introduce Plasser and Theurer Unimat 09-4x4/4S Dynamic technology to the UK in 2014. Since the UK first introduction of 928001 a further machine was introduced in 2016 (74002) with two

more in 2020 (75012 & 75013) and two more in 2021 (75014 & 75015). These machines have proven to be a great success working with the Network Rail maintenance teams and working on various Plain Line and S&C renewal sites across the country.

Unimat 09-4x4/4S dynamic tamper The Unimat 09-4x4/4s Dynamic Machine represents the most sophisticated tamping and lining system available in the UK, the machine is able to provide performance surpassing that of any other switch and crossing tamper currently in use in the UK.

Operational capability The applications for this machine are many and varied. The biggest advance offered by its unique capability is the increase in tamping speed through turnouts and crossovers. Coupled with high output plain line tamping capability, this machine provides a tamping and lining system with over a third increase in the production capacity compared to the non-dynamic S&C tamping fleet in the UK. The proven 09 satellite tamping bank system provides for a modern and ergonomic

crossing designs. This redesign has led to an extension to our expected tamping bank overhaul cycles. In addition, the machines utilise the most sophisticated geometry control and monitoring systems available on any tamping system. The machine operates using the latest application of SMART ALC geometry guidance hardware, to augment the guidance software a DRP digital recording system is used to collect information measured from the machine’s output. This allows an accurate representation of the achieved geometry to be compared against the relevant geometry standards. The 09-4x4-4S also provides significant benefits on track renewal operations, both switch and crossing and plain line. The incorporation of the ‘intelligent’ dynamic track stabilising (DTS) unit on the machine eliminates the need for expensive four and twelve-week follow up tamping works and provides the ability to increase hand back

speeds which was first demonstrated as a UK first S&C 125mph hand-back utilising machines 928001 and 74002. This investment secures the lead technology position for Swietelsky as part of 248

Dynamic track stabilisation – why use it? The use of modern tamping and DTS technologies allow greater uniformity of consolidation and tighter track geometry tolerances to be achieved which are the catalysts for achieving 80mph+ line speed openings. The DTS operates using a concentric fly wheel to simulate 100,000 tonnes of traffic. Further control and adjustment of Track geometry alignment can be made by differing loads to each rail that is to be stabilised. This provides the ability to make small changes to the track geometry profile. The use of DTS systems allows a controlled force distribution to take place in three dimensions meaning that the lateral and longitudinal resistances are both improved. In the vertical sense, it leads to a homogeneous ballast consolidation and the avoidance of sleeper voiding. The unit has an independent measurement trolley separate from the tamping measurement system that provides a final understanding of track geometry position. This data is then displayed in the Data Recording Processor (DRP), this can be used as evidence for the hand back engineer. Another rationale for stabilising S&C, which has been treated during renewal or regular track maintenance, is that the operation of a DTS has proven to affect a 30 per cent increase in the track tamping intervals, which is reflected in a considerable reduction in maintenance cost and the achievement of the asset design life. In the first instance, thought should be given to how a DTS works:

These forces are transmitted into the track and subsequently into the ballast bed. • Vibration frequency is normally in the range of 32 – 37 Hertz (max 45). 1Hz = 1 oscillation cycle per second. The dynamic effect eases sleepers into the ballast bed causing a ‘flowing’ movement of the stone, allowing it to settle more closely together, reducing voids. For the more technically minded readers, the SB Rail 09-4x4/4S DTS has the following pre-set operating modes available: • Constant vertical load – achieves the maximum possible uniformity of settlement, ideal for renewals. • Standard variable on both rails – variable pressure on both rails for cross level correction and adjustment; ideal for straight non-canted track. • Superelevated rail pressure variable – constant pressure on datum rail, variable on float rail; ideal for S&C and canted track. The benefits include • Measured track geometry, stabilisation and Resistance to Lateral Displacement (RLD) values provide a high level of confidence for track hand back staff and NR Engineering teams – tangible evidence provided by the machine’s DRP. • Homogenous track consolidation and instantaneous increase in lateral stability of around 80 per cent improved ballast stiffness. • Reduces ‘quality tamp’ requirements. • Tamping and DTS operation become ‘business as usual’ for line speed opening due to the straightforward and repeatable process. • Reduction in Schedule costs. • Subsequent Mean Time Between Intervention (MTBI) is increased by 30-50 per cent. • Enhance prevention of track buckling, improving safety. Operating six 09-4x4-4S and three 09-3X tampers in the UK has led to efficiencies in our staff training and competence development, whilst the end user gets to experience the latest state of the art technology, it is then their choice to work the machines on high profile 125mph handback sites, two miles plus of maintenance tamping in a midweek night or utilising the on-board spot-tamping (sprinter) programme to remove short wavelength track faults. If you have any questions on the DTS process or the effectiveness of the process, get in touch with our technical department via the contact information below.

• There are two, heavy, dynamic consolidating units producing a horizontal oscillation directed laterally into the track structure with a combined vertical load.

Rolling Stock – Computing Platforms

Computing equipment at the rail edge RUGGED MOBILE Systems consider how suppliers and manufacturers are ensuring that advances in IT hardware are made available to support applications in the demanding on-train environments

lacing computing equipment into a rail environment presents a number of challenges. The continuing rapid advances in computing, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced video and data analytics etc., are already delivering benefits to many areas of businesses and society. The rail industry is no exception in wishing to exploit these advances. However, the implementation of such technology in rail, and in particular to on-train environments, has its own set of requirements and challenges not seen in most traditional IT. RUGGED MOBILE Systems has for the past twelve years been the UK value added partner and distributor for NEXCOM Inc – a world leader in the design and manufacture of mobile computing platforms. These platforms include an extensive range of solutions specifically developed and certified for use on rolling stock. This range is continually being extended to keep abreast of the latest technical advances in computer technology and ensuring that these advances are available for the benefit of on-train applications. The demand On-train computing solutions are required for a broad range of application areas including train security, safety and operational management; train telematics and asset monitoring; passenger information and entertainment; driver cab information support and train communication infrastructure etc. These applications encompass video recording and analytics solutions for passenger and luggage security, seat occupancy, Covid-19 mask wearing compliance, people counting, door clearance, and include the adoption of AI based analytics for scene analysis and facial recognition etc. In addition, train forward facing applications with video and LIDAR analytics for monitoring signal light adherence, detecting track obstructions, flooding alert, vegetation ingress assessments, and even rail-side and bridge damage detection. There is also potential for providing platform approach surveillance, with on-train cab display and alerting of platform incident etc., prior to the train arriving at the platform, and similar solutions for crossing incident warning direct to the train. 258

There are also a host of requirements for more advanced telematics and asset monitoring to improve the reliability and maintainability of the rolling stock. These range from real time pantograph and overhead power line monitoring using video analytics to sensor based monitoring of the drive train, breaking and doors functions etc. Enhanced passenger information with real-time updating of Passenger Information Displays and messaging boards, with access to additional real-time information and status of on-going connections across the rail network and beyond. Passengers also have an expectation to see seamless usage of internet access and streaming while on their journey – either via their own personal devices or seat back display systems. The ability of the train operator to support additional passenger services, such as train hosted video streaming, without needing to access the wider internet off the train, is now a reality. Support is also available for rail operators for enhancing on-train ticket verification and issuing, and on-train retail operations. Also, other systems can provide support to achieve optimal staffing of trains. These applications create increased demand for secure on-train communications, with high performance mobile access hubs, providing Wi-Fi access and multiple 4G/LTE and 5G communications channels to the internet/the cloud while on the move. The hubs also need to support high throughput on-train networks, including up to 10G Ethernet (copper and fibre SFP+ networks) and multiple Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connections to PoE camera’s, PoE displays, intelligent antenna and sensors etc. The on-train challenge The computing platforms to support such on-train applications are required to meet the strict criteria for EMC (electro-magnetic compatibility), operating temperature ranges, shock, vibration, and power input performance that the rail industry has defined for any electronic equipment installed on rolling stock. Manufacturers are required to independently certify that the equipment they supply meet Rail Standards, including the general standard EN-50155, fire safety standard EN-45545-2, plus other rail power standards. To complicate things further, a wide range of supply voltages are used on rolling stock,

with standards including 24, 48, 72, 96 and 110VDC. System PSU’s also need to continue to deliver output during power interruptions of up to 10ms etc. The train environment has a number of additional constraints not usually seen elsewhere. There are physical constraints, with limited cabinet space, resulting in equipment sharing enclosures with other electronic and electrical equipment, placing restrictions on the size of systems that can be deployed. This can also impact the operating temperature range of equipment. High data communications rates cannot be guarantee from the moving train to the internet, or to other off train rail systems. As a result, many systems are optimised for most processing to be carried out at the edge, and not returned centrally for processing. This is especially so with camerabased solutions, where data storage and analytics, including AI processing, is carried out locally on the train. In addition, systems are usually expected to run unattended, with no local terminal, and often need remote system management support. Specifiers often prefer systems that are fanless and be verified to an IP sealing standard for dust and water ingress – for improved reliability. There is also an expectation that the systems will have high longevity and availability of supply. The solutions NEXCOM Inc has a long and strong track record for manufacturing a wide range of high-quality systems that meet the requirement for most of the application areas mentioned above and maintain strict compliance with the rolling stock regulations and standards. These include compact entry level nROK

A global journey Stadler provides a comprehensive range of products in the heavy and urban transport segments: high-speed trains, intercity trains, regional and commuter heavy rail trains, underground trains, tram-trains and trams

One of the new trains at Kirkdale, Liverpool in summer 2021

tadler manufactures mainline locomotives, shunting locomotives and passenger carriages and is the world’s leading manufacturer in the rack-and-pinion rail vehicle industry. Featuring state-of-the-art technology, its trains are reliable, safe, and offer maximum comfort for passengers. To date, the Swiss rail builder has sold more than 8,000 units in 41 countries. The company was founded in 1942 and is headquartered in Switzerland. With a keen focus on the environment, Stadler produces innovative, sustainable and durable high-quality products. It is a market leader on sustainable and emission-free traction, applying the following eco-design principles in development, production and maintenance, as well as low-emission drive technologies: • Eco-friendly choice of materials in terms of weight, recyclability and functionality. • Eco-friendly choice of suppliers in terms of proximity to production, means of transport and packaging. • Production of sub-systems and components use up-to-date innovative technologies and procedures. • Minimal energy consumption of 260

trains and locomotives when they are operational. • Trains and locomotives make minimal levels of noise, including vibration. • Eco-friendly choice of materials and procedures for maintenance. • Easily removable components to facilitate recycling at the end of a vehicle’s life. Live orders in the UK Stadler and Rail Operations (UK) Limited signed a framework agreement for 30 Class 93 tri-mode locomotives in January 2021. An initial batch of ten locomotives are due for delivery in early 2023. The advanced locomotives will significantly reduce CO2 emissions for both rail freight as well as for potential passenger transport services, underscoring Stadler’s green credentials and demonstrating its commitment to decarbonisation. Class 93 is a Bo’Bo’ mixed-traffic locomotive based on Stadler’s Class 68 and Class 88 locomotives, which have been operating successfully in the UK for some years. It is capable of reaching higher speed than the previous ones, i.e. 110 mph instead of 100 mph. Stadler’s first tri-mode locomotive has

three different power sources. In electric mode, it is able to run on 25kV AC overhead lines with a power of 4,000 kW. In addition, the locomotive features a CATERPILLAR C32 engine and Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) traction battery packs, allowing it to operate over non-electrified lines. The diesel engine has a nominal power of 900 kW and meets EU 97/68 Stage V emission requirements. The two LTO battery packs provide 400kW extra power to supplement the engine when the locomotive is running in diesel/battery hybrid mode, as well as last mile carbon free shunting operation. In 2020, Stadler signed a contract with Nexus for delivery and maintenance of 46 METRO trains for the Tyne and Wear Metro. It was the company’s third METRO order in Great Britain in just shy of four years. Entirely replacing the 40 year old legacy fleet, trains will be bright and open, with special multi-functional areas for wheelchairs, prams, luggage and bicycles. They will feel more secure, featuring video surveillance, protection systems for door operation and clear warning displays. Good thermal and acoustic insulation will regulate on-board temperatures for the comfort of passengers, and newly developed air-sprung

bogies will reduce noise. The 60-metre long trains will each consist of five carriages, which can accommodate up to 556 passengers. Eight large double doors allow passengers to get on and off quickly. Power is supplied via an overhead line with 1,500 V DC and the maximum speed is 80 per kph. The lightweight vehicle, the recovery of braking energy and the use of highly efficient traction converter technology will all help reduce energy consumption. Trains will be built to accommodate an energy storage system, enabling them to operate on an extended network in future. Following the completion of the design review in the summer of 2021, the manufacturing process is now in full swing. In 2018, Transport for Wales awarded Stadler a contract to supply 36 three-car CITYLINK tram-trains and 35 FLIRT trains. The CITYLINK three-car tram-trains will rely on 25 kV as well as battery power. Eleven of the FLIRTs will be diesel-operated. The other 24 FLIRTs will be tri-mode, capable of running on diesel, overhead electric wires and battery power. The trimode fleet consists of seven three-car and 17 four-car trains. The use of batteries on tram-trains and tri-modes is an innovative and cost-effective solution that will provide a fully electric, environmentally friendly service north of Cardiff by enabling ‘smart electrification’ on the infrastructure. Trains will be longer and have more seats, which have been ergonomically designed to maximise passenger comfort. Each seat will be fitted with power sockets. Other stateof-the-art features include air-conditioning throughout and wide passenger information screens, providing customers with up-tothe-minute travel information. Noise and vibrations will be kept to a minimum, with the new trains quieter than the current ones. In November 2021, the first FLIRT

arrived in Cardiff for testing on the network. The Citylinks, being made in Valencia, are undergoing type-testing, with the first set to arrive in Cardiff in 2022. Stadler’s first order for METRO trains was secured in 2017 when it and Merseytravel (on behalf of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority) signed a contract for the manufacture and delivery of 52 trains for the Liverpool City Region. New trains will replace one of the oldest fleets in the UK and run on the Merseyrail network. Boasting the latest advances in safety and technology, including live-streamed CCTV, Wi-Fi and air-conditioning, they will feature open, airy compartments, which will be entirely walkthrough, wider aisles and larger vestibules at the doorways. They will provide step-free access for all passengers. Strong but lightweight carriages, built from aluminium extrusions will promote safety and be more energy-efficient, demonstrating Stadler’s environmental credentials. The 64.98 metre-long and 2.82 metre-wide trains will operate on a 750V DC third rail at a maximum speed of 75 mph (120 km/h). The units will also be equipped with batteries that allow independent movement of the units in the workshop and depot areas. The trains will have the potential to be retrofitted for 25 kV AC operation and ETCS Level II. In 2021, the Combined Authority ordered another train and announced that seven of the 53-strong fleet would be IPEMUs (independently powered electrical multiple units), enabling them to run on an extended Merseyrail network in future. The introduction of these battery trains would mean that passengers can make their journey seamlessly by rail. In turn, this allows operators to increase patronage. In 2016, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport awarded Stadler in consortium with Ansaldo STS (now Hitachi Rail) the

contract to supply 17 METRO trains for the Glasgow Subway, one of the oldest and smallest underground networks in the world. With its unusually narrow track and tunnels gauges, Glasgow Subway operates solely within its original Victorian tunnels, and has a track gauge of 1.22 metres and tunnel gauge of just 3.4 metres in diameter. This makes the contract highly complex. Tailormade to suit the network, trains will have a maximum speed of 58 km/h. They will be the same length and size as existing rolling stock, but made up of fourcar sets, as opposed to the current three-car sets. They will feature open gangways to maximise space and will be equipped for fully automatic, unattended train operation. This is the first time that Stadler is manufacturing trains for a driverless system.

We offer extensive complementary services to deliver a full suite of flexible project solutions for the rail sector, as well as the fleet and architectural markets. Some of these additional services we provide include an in-house design team, marketing, online ordering portal, and site audits. The stability of our customer base and number of long-standing relationships built with our clients, many lasting for over 15 years, clearly demonstrates our ability to deliver on quality, service and price in a highly competitive market. Project success lies in the implementation, so we pride ourselves on the resources we put in place to manage and plan projects; from the survey of sites, project manager 264

experts of the industry, and interpretation of branding standards to the logistics, safe-working and quality ‘first-time right’ installation approach. With Account & Project Managers based throughout the country and the UK’s largest directly employed installation operation and approved sub-contract installation network, nationwide support is always available to all our rail customers. Our project management team consists of an account representative, an external project manager, installation experts, and in-house designers. This ensures that we look after your project throughout every aspect. Over the years we have been lucky to work on a number of notable projects with highprofile rail industry brands. One of these was in 2020, where Aura showcased an incredibly successful project that was worked on in collaboration with Porterbrook at one of the many exhibitions attended that 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

most exciting and innovative new products and rolling stock equipment. At Rail Live we took the opportunity to demonstrate our phenomenal work and 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. Aura Brand Solutions were selected as one of the 25 UK-based companies to demonstrate more than 30 new 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 – one for the Innovation and one for the Hydroflex livery – with one carriage wrapped per day. It took us approximately two days of prepping with spray, and another two full days of wrapping. All the graphics produced for the interior and exterior of the trains came from our unique in-house design team, meaning that the entire livery was comprised of original

design work and graphics. Another notable project that gained incredibly positive reviews and nationwide coverage in the media was our project of providing Avanti West Coast’s Pride train wrap. Aura Brand Solutions were approached by Avanti West Coast to develop a new Pridethemed livery for their fleet that celebrated the LGBTQ+ community and highlighted the importance of diversity. This train wrap was to be a part of their Live Proud programme – initiatives and commitments to making Avanti West Coast an inclusive place to work, where differences are celebrated and staff can be their authentic selves. Alongside providing the full wrap for the Pride train, Aura Brand Solutions also agreed to supply all access equipment. Working within all government-advised social distancing measures, we ensured that health and safety was a top priority while installing. This project coincided with Aura’s continued support of Avanti West Coast – running alongside recent contracts with them and Alstom, including the exterior refurbishment of their Class 390, and the interior refurbishment for the class 221

Avanti West Coast fleet with Bombardier. The design of the train itself was provided by Avanti West Coast, and our in-house design team scaled all visuals for production and application to allow Avanti West Coast to complete all engineering changes. Alstom completed all paint and corrosion repairs, and Aura Brand Solutions supplied and applied film for project. One of our future ambitions is to continue our commitment to sustainability and add to our existing initiatives. We harness our environmentally conscious approach to sustainability to work on ways to prevent, reuse, reduce and recycle the waste we generate; restrict pollution; and continuously decrease our carbon footprint. We promote the use of all non-PVC solutions, including using industry leaders 3M’s Envision Wrap Films, in numerous rail projects to showcase our commitment to sustainability, and have received incredibly positive feedback from all our clients. Not only are the films non-PVC and more environmentally friendly, but also are phthalate-free; made in part with a bio-based materials; manufactured using 58 per cent less solvent; and made without chlorine or other halogens added.

We predominantly use Envision Print Wrap Film 480 – a high-quality, environmentally-friendly alternative for printing large format graphics, with some of its features including: • Twelve years durability. • Can be used for both external and internal use. • Six-year warranty. • Has a slower burn rate with less smoke giving 4.5x longer evacuation time. We are always actively implementing sustainable methods within our new and existing business practices, that provide innovative solutions and a positive social and environmental impact.

We truly do it all. Our unmatched portfolio consists of numerous services, including production, specialty, and transit rail grinding. These services will significantly reduce wear on your rolling stock, prevent premature rail failures or replacements, and extend your rail life and track component life. Our aim is to maximise your ROI, amplify the value of your rail assets, and ultimately allow you to provide your passengers with improved ride quality and comfort. Rail operations One unique feature of our services is that we hold a mainline operating license, which gives us the ability to operate and move stock, provide drivers to transport trains on the network, and provide a higher level of support to all our customers. Adhering to strict safety standards, we can guarantee that your rolling stock will be handled professionally and with care when moving from one site to another. Our numerous highly trained crew members out in the field can provide you with traction training and route conducting, ad-hoc engineering, and rolling stock movements to and from maintenance facilities. One fundamental aspect that is needed

to keep your rail operations consistent is the capacity of building space to undertake repairs. At the Derby RTC Business Park, we have extensive facilities space of 100,000 sq. ft that provides considerable scope for all fleet sizes and types. Our vast space includes a wash road, fuelling point, pits, and workshops, which allows us to take care of everything in one place without the hassle of moving stock.

Maintenance Rail vehicle maintenance is crucial for delivering high-quality and high-performing assets to your customers. So, choosing the right maintenance company to invest in can differentiate fleet failure and optimal operational performance.

Projects Our portfolio of resources also includes heavy overhauls and modifications, enhancements, repurposing, and best-in-

268

class refurbishment services. We recently had the joy of announcing a multi-million-pound deal with Network Rail to repurpose at least 250 side tipper ballast wagons. The work will involve removing the tipper element of the wagons to create reusable and far more versatile non-tipping static containers. Loram UK and Network Rail have worked together on maintenance and infrastructure programmes before, and Andrew Watson, our International Business Development Director, said the programme would further strengthen that relationship. He said: ‘The availability of wagons generally is an issue, so to be able to repurpose 250 provides much greater flexibility for Network Rail. It’s a project we’re very excited to be involved in and allows us to expand our horizons. ‘We are always looking at diversifying, and this allows us to not only carry out the work but manage the logistics in regards to collecting the wagons, the processes around

the repurposing and sending them back to Network Rail.’ The two-year repurposing programme will be done at our Derby site and will help secure around 35 jobs for the duration, along with 20 others across the supply chain. We have a superior breadth of experience under our belt, which means we can give you everything you need to consistently optimize operational excellence with minimal downtime. Whether you’re looking to enhance the infrastructure of your fleet or refurbish rolling stock, you can be assured that our innovative and specialist services will tick every box of your rail needs.

Safety and Security – Site Lighting and Site Safety

Prioritising safety with innovative railway safety solutions Regardless of the size, scope or nature of your project, ensuring worker safety will always be at the very top of your priority list

owever, a recent piece of research undertaken by HSE found that the construction sector was failing in a number of key areas. The HSE 2020 Construction statistics in Great Britain report found that, in comparison to industries that undertook similar work, the construction sector had a fatal injury rate that was almost four times that of all the industry rate. In terms of non-fatal injuries, data from The Labour Force Survey (as quoted in the HSE report) found that 2.8 per cent of workers in the construction sector suffered from an injury, a figure ‘significantly higher than the all industry rate’. Working within the railway renewal and construction sector is about as high-risk as it gets. That is why it is so vital that companies recognise their duty to adopt the very best, most sophisticated and dependable safety solutions within the industry. Triptex is a company that is committed to connecting these companies to solutions that they can depend on. Safety equipment that can be installed quickly and easily, establishing a safe working environment, with minimal delay to your project. What’s more, Triptex provides a railway safety service that covers all bases. Its products include safety barrier fencing, link

270

lights, tower lights and other accessories – everything that you need to ensure your site meets all of the railway industry safety standards. Below, we’ll be exploring these safety products in more detail (including their use cases and benefits). This way, it will be easier than ever for you to determine what safety features your site needs, and the most efficient and effective ways to reduce the risks that are present.

and bull head rails, ensuring a high strength and fully dependable barrier. Magnetic Safety Barrier Fencing operates in a very similar way, but uses high-strength magnets to fit the barrier directly to the web of the rail. It is renowned for its remarkable ease of installation and mobilisation, while still delivering the same level of safety. Magnetic Safety Barrier Fencing is more than 20 times faster to erect and dismantle, in comparison with conventional methods.

Safety barrier fencing Safety barrier fencing provides a rigid barrier fence system, which protects workers from moving trains. These fences are adjustable, extremely strong and are universal, so will fit onto any track. They are quick and easy to both install and dismantle, without the need for any tools or specialist equipment. Triptex provides two types of safety barrier fencing – Vortok and Magnetic Safety Barrier Fencing. Vortok Safety Barrier Fencing is both universal and adjustable, with a barrier that is designed to be positioned four feet away from the running rail. It is extremely strong, with the permission to be fixed on tracks that are running trains at speeds up to 100 mph. It works by clamping directly onto two areas of the tracks, both the flat bottomed

Link lights Link lights are designed to flood light long stretches of rail track. It creates a temporary lighting system, which lights engineering projects of any distance. In addition to rail tracks, they are also ideally suited to road or tunnel construction projects. These lights are easily portable, and are quick to both install and mobilise. What’s more, thanks to the use of LED lighting, link lights offer significant energy savings, and can achieve a running cost of 80 per cent less (compared to tower lights). The lights are designed so that, if any individual lights fail, power will keep flowing along the chain, meaning the light will not go out. Tower lights Tower lights light up a huge construction

area, and the adjustable stabilisers and level indicator enable construction workers to install and use tower lights across a vast array of different terrain, and even uneven grounds. Thanks to the on-road tow trailer, these lights can easily be transported to wherever they are required on the site. This equipment is extremely sturdy, and will hold firm against all the extreme conditions that are present on a modern railway construction project. Solar powered tower lighting solutions have also experienced a rapid rise in popularity. These eco-conscious options are ideal for companies that are wanting to meet or improve their environmental targets, and prove their eco-conscious focus to their customers. Other accessories Rail Safety Barrier Systems Gates are a fantastic additional option to a rail safety barrier. These gates create safe access points,

for construction workers to access the track whenever required. The gates are secured by a locking pin, providing a safe and yet easy to use access point. All of Triptex’s system gates are fully approved and meet all of the current industry safety standards. Another innovative accessory in this product range are the Rail Safety Barrier Linklite Brackets. These enable users to install Linklite directly onto an established rail safety barrier. This means that, if the project timescale requires it, the team can safely work outside of daylight hours.

• Dedicated and attentive customer service. • High quality, industry leading technology. • Affordable pricing.

Scaffolding & Access

Beyond Brexit Throughout all the challenges Layher continues delivering for the rail sector

f Brexit has dropped out of the main headlines for much of the last year, it is still very much at the forefront across industry – not least for those involved in the rail sector, where many companies have adapted and shaped operations to meet the new challenges. Since the UK’s departure from the EU, one particular organisation in the scaffolding and access sector – which has its feet firmly planted on both sides of The Channel – is ideally placed to reflect on how the changes have been accommodated and, moreover, have opened up new opportunities. Layher Ltd., the world’s largest manufacturer of system scaffolding, access and temporary protection systems, who point to many new build and maintenance projects across the rail industry, can take a genuinely balanced view. UK Managing Director, Sean Pike explains: ‘Our manufacturing plant near Stuttgart in Germany supplies a total of 42 subsidiaries worldwide and the UK has long been a growing market for our equipment and expertise’ he says. ‘Importantly, this has always had the provision of local services at its core and, through careful planning and clear-cut customer commitment, we have been able to maintain this by making a smooth transition to life outside the EU.’ 272

The organisation has long believed that customers’ decisions to use its modular systems is not based solely on proven designs, safety and performance, but also on the ability to access the full range of support services at a local level. Layher’s head office in this country in Letchworth is supplemented by a network of regional depots – at Eggborough near Doncaster, West Bromwich in the West Midlands and Livingston in Scotland. ‘To continue to pursue this philosophy, we took the decision in late 2019 to ensure each of our depots in the UK was fully stocked in readiness for the Brexit date, thereby accounting for any potential delays during the Brexit process’ continues Sean Pike. Sean Pike also emphasises the role played by Layher’s support capability in this context. Clearly an element of the company’s service that does not depend on physical material availability or delivery, it not only operated normally during the Brexit period but, now beyond, is continuing to thrive. Indeed, gaining a full understanding of the procedures involved – and being able to help customers do likewise – has also been vital in helping to create new business opportunities. ‘We have long held the view that,

irrespective of a project’s type or size in the rail sector – such as the provision of access for station development or, perhaps, the installation of temporary bridging structures – the relationship we build with each customer is the same’ adds Sean Pike. ‘Our service can range from initial support on site to the creation of structural design and build programmes, and we are always looking to develop operational partnerships that reflect the specific needs of each individual contractor.’ In this context, he highlights the growing use of computer-based design capability – ranging from CAD drawings, with the benefit of Layher’s LayPLAN facility, to the company’s full Scaffolding Information Modelling (SIM) software. ‘The aim is always to develop scaffolding structures that complement and accommodate specific layout and functional needs in the most effective way’ he explains. ‘This is the case both in terms of access provision when complete, and also during the build process itself.’ Importantly, UK customers can continue to rely on ongoing production investment, such as Layher’s recently commissioned third manufacturing plant, which underpins the company’s delivery capability. At the same time, Sean Pike points out that Layher remains fully committed to product development, much of which is derived directly from customer feedback. For example, he highlights components such as a choice of bridging systems and Layher’s recently introduced FlexBeam and AGS systems – all of which are seeing the rail sector as one of the main beneficiaries. ‘The fact that we have also been able to maintain this element of our service irrespective of potential Brexit considerations, has been extremely important to our customers across the board, including rail’ he adds. The continuing confidence and commitment that can now be demonstrated by Layher’s operations in the UK remain fully endorsed at Layher’s head office by Principal Shareholder, Georg Layher who says: ‘The UK is a key market for us and the growth that we have been able to achieve, particularly in the last decade, reflects on both the suitability and design innovation of our products as well as the accelerating move away from traditional tube and coupler scaffolding’ he says. ‘The efficiency, versatility and safety benefits associated with our systems and our

ongoing belief in using customer feedback to drive innovation will continue to be as relevant and as important in the future – irrespective of the relationship between the UK and Europe. Our belief in continuing success and growth in the UK at a local level remains as strong as ever.’ It is a view that is echoed here by Sean Pike: ‘Post-Brexit, and as we slowly emerge from the pandemic, our customer base is becoming increasingly active – in many cases, more so than before the events of 2020. The fact that we are able to respond to, and match, this growth pays testimony not only to our Brexit planning and ongoing equipment delivery capability, but it also reflects on our belief in working closely with customers to develop strategies that meet their individual needs. ‘This is the optimum way to ensure their order requirements are best met – despite fluctuations such as the widely acknowledged material supply shortage – allowing them to grow and develop their own businesses long into the future’ Sean Pike concludes.

Security – Doors

Security doors for the rail industry Sean Ballard, Group Managing Director at Sunray Engineering explains how the rail industry is benefiting from their range of bespoke security door products

ecurity is becoming a more prominent consideration in the Rail Industry. As part of the UK’s critical infrastructure, all rail networks and hubs (stations and power) must be protected regardless of the volume or usage. When it comes to the rail network there is an inherent need for such security measures in the form of various products and services, which are key to the protection of assets and the users. Our products are designed to blend in with the environment or build in which they are used, yet are manufactured to provide performance such as ventilation and cooling for instance with our Steel Louvre Systems and examples of use include transformer or power rooms, tunnel or shaft ventilation, and then other product examples include steel security and fire doors which restrict and control critical access areas and of course provide up to four hours fire resistance. Newer to our range and particularly relevant to areas which have Trackside embankments or areas close to Electrified Rail or Cables are our GRP Walkways, Platforms and Access Stairs. GRP is widely specified due to the nonconductivity of the product yet has the integral strength for weight loading. These can be brightly coloured with integrated grip on the grid and define safe passageways or access for rail workforce staff as well as passengers in the event of emergencies. As specialists in providing bespoke Security Solutions to the Rail Industry, Sunray have provided a number of products in applications where security for electrical 274

switch gear, tailored pressure relief measures for escape routes, plant room ventilation, station security, fire compartmentation as well as specialist Blast and Fire protection consideration, all of which is uniquely designed for a specific project. Due to the nature of Rail infrastructures, we often find ourselves working with complex design solutions where practicality and design must harmonise, yet

functionality and performance is critical. This can present challenges, however our ability to ‘tailor’ product ensures we blend seamlessly into any given structure. We manufacture all products at our factories in Ashford, which ensures the control, quality, and timely delivery of product to meet customer expectation. We also regularly test on site in association with the BRE (British Research Establishment)

Security – Doors

especially for those projects requiring ‘one off’ type scenarios. This ensures our Rail clients benefit from our proven history and track record of investing in design and innovation. As pioneers of the niche, when it comes to Security Doors and Systems, we will always strive to build the impossible yet blend with the environment. This makes us well placed for working with the Rail Sector so we can provide tailor made solutions

to exceptional criteria’s and demands the industry often faces. Sunray continues to invest heavily into R&D, keeping ahead the of the ever-changing regulations. Tomorrow’s products will require even more security and protection and given Sunray’s capabilities and experience we are well placed to assist this critical infrastructure and industry.

Security – Perimeter

Improving security for our transport infrastructure Following the easing of Covid restrictions this year, use of the UK’s roads and public transport network has almost returned to pre-pandemic levels, Peter Jackson, MD of Jacksons Fencing looks at the data

n March 2021, the Government published the Build Back Better: Our Plan for Growth strategy, which aims to begin transforming vital transit networks to relieve some pressure on transport infrastructure and local communities across the country. More recently, Rishi Sunak announced in his autumn budget for that year, that in order to level up the UK, £5.7 billion is being provided to build London-style transport facilities in Manchester, Liverpool and the West Midlands. A further £2.6 billion was confirmed to be used for developing a long-term pipeline for over 50 local road upgrades, £5 billion for local roads maintenance, and £5 billion for building roads for buses, as well as cycle lanes and pathways. The Government’s Build Back Better Plan is encouraging not only for those using the transport networks, but also for local communities and those involved in the planned developments across the UK. However, this proposed, rapid expansion over the next few years will also broaden 276

opportunities for criminals and vandals possibly impacting the safety of the transport network. It’s essential that transport security and perimeter safety are acknowledged and considered throughout every project, and any practical solutions that can reduce potential risks and threats are fully integrated into the design of such systems. Direct discussion Our recent research across the nation’s rail engineering profession found that 68 per cent of respondents thought much more needs to be done to improve railway perimeter safety. Engineers we spoke to directly stressed they wanted increased communication from product manufacturers, easier access to product specification, and increased inspection measures. Adopting these changes would all contribute towards the improvement of perimeter safety, it was felt. Illegal behaviour It is reported that during lockdown, crime

rates decreased, however, now restrictions have been lifted in the UK, these threats are rising. According to Farsight, by July 2021 there had been a seven per cent increase in crimes committed in the UK compared to April 2021, when restrictions started to ease. These statistics establish that risks to transport infrastructure, including railways, motorways, and ports are likely to increase, therefore security systems should be regularly checked to ensure they’re fit to withstand criminal behaviour. From our findings, there are two big threats to railway safety: ‘vandalism’ and ‘trespassers with criminal intent,’ and more recently other nations are witnessing increasing accounts of vandalism and theft, as well as anti-social behaviour. With new widespread projects involving railways, such as HS2 and Crossrail, safety measures need to be continuously developed by engineers and implemented in order to avoid or minimise potential accidents or criminal occurrences from taking place. Each site is unique and will need to be designed differently in order to meet the

requirements and prevent any criminal or illegal behaviour occurring. These issues can include end-user safety, emergency access, risk management, and pressing environmental concerns, such as increased temperature, unpredictable weather, and noise pollution. Animal welfare also needs to be taken into consideration. Safety solutions Having clearly identified the various threats to the safety of the transport infrastructure, it’s possible to outline solutions that will provide security, and ensure the areas discussed remain efficient and environmentally friendly. There are specific forms of protection that should be prioritised during transport upgrade and maintenance projects. I have broken them down into sections, clearly categorising what you should be looking out for. Assessments are key Starting the project by conducting a systematic assessment of the area will point out any noteworthy issues, including the most appropriate security barriers for the perimeter of the site. Aesthetics should also be taken into consideration at this stage, as our survey highlighted this is often a priority that is forgotten. With a simple online search, it’s possible to find a number of products that are aesthetically pleasing, fitting, and provide the best form of safety and protection. Meeting the requirements Next, make sure you’re adhering to both the safety and sustainability requirements of the wider project. If you need advice, suppliers’ websites or product videos can help to explain the requirements you need to

fence, gate, or barrier, make sure you follow this checklist:

Economic benefit It is important when working on these extensive projects to think about and prioritise high quality materials. Doing your research, understanding what is best, and choosing those which will last, will help manage the budget and likely prevent any further costs at a later stage. For instance, using a galvanised or zinc alloy-coated steel for fencing and gates will deliver even more protection against weathering and prevent any corrosion or rust, therefore extending the life of the product, and making it easier to maintain. More robust, high-quality products are often cost-effective as they will be less likely to require repairs or deteriorate, so make sure to think about the lifetime value of specified products beforehand. Also, if the budget is limited, make an effort to avoid opting for fence panels without a guarantee as it is likely these will require maintenance or need replacing sooner compared to those high-quality fences with a guarantee.

• Obtain proof or certification from your supplier. • Be sure of your fencing’s suitability to site-specific ground conditions. • Check specifications to ensure effectiveness against specific threats. • Specify appropriate coatings especially for use in corrosive atmospheres. • Install in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. • Regularly inspect for condition, damage, and operation. • Regularly maintain to prevent premature degrading.

Security systems that deter criminals Implementing an advised integrated security approach will significantly reduce the threat of criminal behaviour. Think to combine perimeter fencing with surveillance, such as CCTV cameras, and technology that enables alarms if there is a threat, such as anti-intrusion detection alarms or monitors. These are readily available and can help reduce potential imminent criminal occurrences or accidents. The complete checklist When specifying a ‘tested and certified’ product for a development site, such as a

Essential collaboration Policy makers or owners are not exclusively responsible for the reinforcement of transport security. Engineers working on rail, road, and port projects or in developments and designs all have an important role to improve security and minimise the risk and impact on local, surrounding communities. Security and acoustic barriers need considerable investment, but in return they provide protection for the public using the transport networks and also the general public from a range of risks. Suppliers are prepared to aid this drive towards securing transport, but in order for them to do so, improved training is required so those within the industry can fully understand the benefits of long-term investments, such as high-quality security fencing and access control.

Skills – Training

Delivering the skilled workforce of tomorrow As a seamless link between education and industry, the National College for Advanced Transport & Infrastructure (NCATI) is ideally placed to put the UK rail workforce back on track

n order to deliver the major infrastructure programmes and rail modernisation initiatives planned across the UK, the rail workforce – and the transport and infrastructure sectors more broadly – need a greater number of talented people, with a different blend of skills, and from more diverse backgrounds. This threepronged skills challenge sits at the heart of why the National College was established in 2017 and remains integral to the employerled curriculum that we offer today across our two state-of-the-art campuses in Birmingham and Doncaster. Addressing the skills needs of the wider industry Our foundations are built on being truly industry responsive: previously known as the National College for High Speed Rail and specialising in providing the vocational training required to deliver high speed rail projects such as HS2, we have since diversified to meet the demands of the

280

broader transport and infrastructure sectors. This includes offering technical training in pathways ranging from systems engineering to project management to digital design, endowing our learners with a more varied skillset and ultimately helping to deliver a highly skilled and adaptable workforce. Opening doors at every level Having relaunched in 2021 as part of the University of Birmingham group, NCATI is led by a team with strong links to both education and industry, who are ideally placed to advise and shape our offer in order to attract learners to the sector. To this end, our curriculum offer is not only expansive in the broad spectrum of career opportunities it showcases and leads to, but it is also accessible from levels two to six in order to demonstrate that rail can be a career destination for all. With one of the major barriers preventing people from considering careers in the rail industry being the perceived lack of necessary skills or

qualifications, this is crucial. Our curriculum offer is for ages 16 and over and includes part-time and full-time courses, as well as apprenticeships, all utilising the very best technology, facilities and teaching practice. Our industry links Industry collaboration is integral to our success, our outlook and how we promote ourselves to prospective learners. NCATI has already benefitted significantly from engaging with leading sector employers like Honeywell, BBV, Atkins, Arcadis and Volker Rail. This network of employers supports us in a variety of ways, from offering apprenticeships and placements, to giving learners at the College access to the very latest thinking in the industry via guest lectures, mentoring, and visits to their sites and depots. As well as tapping into a wealth of knowledge and experience, our strong industry links give our learners the most upto-date equipment to train with and prepare

Supply Chain

All aboard: next stop – supply chain transformation Over the past 12 – 18 months we have found that businesses are looking for a new approach to supply chain management

s we have engaged with more and more key stakeholders in the UK rail sector we’re seeing a desire to address areas that traditionally would have been performed in-house, such as demand forecasting, product sourcing, inventory management and tail end commodity spend. TVS SCS’ end to end solutions enable the rail sector to focus on and enhance their particular areas of experience, be that manufacturing and maintaining rolling stock right the way through to delivering best in class passenger experience. By taking a step back and outsourcing certain processes and requirements, they can become a leaner, more focused business. At TVS SCS, we can have direct and meaningful input into the supplier relationships and contribute to finding solutions to problems and issues that our customer sometimes doesn’t even realise they have. The key to our offering is our ability to manage inventory better, ensuring the highest availability while keeping costs to an absolute minimum. Alongside this, we provide best in class procurement solutions for our client’s spare parts and across a wide range of other core categories. Supply chain transformation Our solutions are individually tailored to each customer, and this starts with our Information Systems. At TVS SCS, we utilise the strength of our in-house developed platform Msys; a Cyber Essentials Plus certified system that drives our best-in-class supply chain solutions. Some of the benefits you can expect from Msys include intuitive usability, reducing the time spent training staff on day-to-day usage, efficiency, automation of tasks that otherwise would take time and cost money to complete and control. You will always have full visibility and cost control of your supply chain. Sitting within Msys, we have multiple systems that provide a wide range of solutions to the problems you may be facing. For example, our Warehouse Management System allows us to utilise real-time information to optimise the performance and accuracy of our warehouse 282

and distribution centres. This platform can also be integrated with purchase ledgers and update storage availability and stock shortage in real-time as they happen. Another bespoke platform that we have deployed to provide cost savings is our demand forecasting and planning solution. This can vastly reduce unrequired longterm stock holdings and deliver substantial improvements in product availability by ensuring the stock you need is on the shelf when you need it.

The Msys platform gives TVS SCS an edge in optimising your supply chain; as this platform is bespoke to TVS SCS, we can quickly make amendments to the software as required, rather than using a third-party provider to attempt to get changes made. TVS SCS is currently engaged in a longterm contract that involves supporting the infrastructure of the United Kingdom’s railway network, supporting the large-scale investment made to improve the United Kingdom’s rail infrastructure.

Supply Chain

Operational challenges The ongoing LGV driver shortages across the UK and Europe mean that some supply chains face stock shortages; however, TVS SCS engage various strategies that ensure that we have a robust and resilient supply chain that is ready to overcome challenges. These challenges, coupled with the Covid-19 pandemic, have made supply chain disruption inevitable. TVS SCS are acutely aware of the importance of having local, regional and

national supply chains providing ‘close to site’ supplier sources. This is now highly evident through the ‘Buy Britain’ mantra. Of course, the requirement to still utilise global supply chains remains a highly important factor for us but ensuring that we have contingencies in place allows us to continue to deliver for your business. Final destination By utilising the expertise of TVS SCS to transform your supply chain, you can expect

to find a robust supply chain network that effectively negates the chance of disruption. Our supply chains are agile and innovative; we use cutting edge technology to streamline movement, enabling us to adapt to a quickly moving sector; whilst simultaneously providing cost savings. Our demand forecasting expertise means you will only be ordering parts you need when you need them, releasing valuable cash back into your business. Ultimately, we can build a high level of operational efficiency which actively works to provide maximised profitability potential. Our industry expert, Andy Lawrence, has 30 years of experience of logistics and supply chain management and brings a strong knowledge of the rail sector, allowing him to identify areas of opportunity and growth within your supply chain.

Survey Equipment

The evolution of rail surveying techniques and equipment Ben Carruthers, Business Development Director - Rail Technology & Monitoring at Sunbelt Rentals takes us through the major developments in the surveying world

sing the right equipment is key to getting any type of job done properly and efficiently on the railway. With more and more surveying tools available to complete different types of jobs, it is something of a minefield for people to know exactly what equipment they need and how to use it. For many, it is human nature to stick to what they know. But with more modern solutions of surveying on the railway now available, there may be more efficient and accurate means of achieving results. When I went to school, I was taught trigonometry. At the time, I questioned what I would ever use trigonometry for, but it turns out that the principles of Sin, Cos and Tan form the basis of my working life on a daily basis. Whether the equipment is a Track Gauge or a Total Station, they all work in essentially the same way. Old surveying techniques When I first started surveying in the early 1990s, the Total Station was king and we used it for just about everything. Add a Track Gauge to the equation and you have most things covered. The Rail Foot was the final piece of the puzzle that would allow us to measure the tracks as accurately as possible. I remember surveying the tracks in Birkenhead one day, using a metal rail foot to pick up Insulated Block Joints (IBJ). The Signaller at the time wasn’t very happy, but it was all we had. We ended up offsetting every single IBJ. Any levelling was carried out from a local benchmark providing the wall was still standing and hadn’t been knocked over. And we had to visit trig pillars to get OS coordinates. When I joined Leica in the late 1990s, GPS (Global Positioning Systems) technology was not widely in use for surveying like it is today. Nowadays, it is referred to as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems). The reason for the name change is because GPS was the name for the American system. During the cold war, there were just two satellite constellations. The American system known as GPS and the Russian system known as Glonass. The Russian satellites were not maintained in the 1990s and fell into disrepair until the early 2000s when 284

efforts were made to return the system to full operation. The American system had what was known as ‘selective availability’, distortions to the timing coming from the satellites – this was a legacy of the Cold War. The Selective availability was subsequently switched off in 2000. During selective availability any GNSS receiver only had an accuracy of about 100 metres. However, introducing a Base Station, you could increase the accuracy to 5cm. The problem was that to position the Base Station you had to occupy the point and log data for about four to six hours. When there were fewer satellites available, this could increase the acquisition time up to twelve hours. Nowadays, without selective availability, any receiver can get under ten metres accuracy anywhere in the world immediately. Today, we also have access to two additional satellite systems - the European system, Galileo, and the Chinese system, Beidou. This makes GNSS much more usable, and this technology can be found in pretty much every mobile phone, as well as in cars and parcel tracking systems, to name a few. They are even being used to run autonomous delivery robots in Milton Keynes. Added to this, the ordinance survey has set up OSnet which is a network of over 100 Base Stations across the country. This means users can obtain OS position and height

above sea level in a matter of seconds. This proves particularly impressive when carrying out site control surveying on a new site. In terms of limitations, GNSS won’t work under trees or in and around buildings, so a Total Station must be used in these areas. Introduction of laser scanning The next major development in the surveying world was Laser Scanning. I usually explain this as a Total Station on steroids. Normally a surveyor with a oneperson kit will take about five seconds to walk to a point, erect the detail pole and take a measurement. A typical Laser Scanner will measure about one million points a second and generally covers a 360 dome above and around the scanner. A typical set-up with imaging can take about 15 minutes. The system still needs line of sight to objects, so multiple set-ups are required to pick up all the aspects of what the user is surveying. The challenge is to link these scans together (known as Registration) so that you have one large Scanworld of the object of interest. Once this is completed, you have billions of points each of have their own 3D position and can be used to extract data. Extracting the features from the resultant point cloud involves individually picking the points. This was a manual, time-consuming job in the past, however recently this is one of the major areas of improvement.

The software houses have now developed auto-extraction of data. This means they can extract objects like the running edge of the rail and overhead catenary from point cloud data. N4CE software for example, can extract height and stagger data for 100’s of metres of rail in seconds. Latest evolution of mobile mapping The latest evolution to rail measurement is the introduction of Mobile Mapping. This uses a combination of Laser Scanning and imagery on a mobile platform. Instead of being static like a normal Laser Scanner, the Mobile Mapping system uses a combination of GNSS and inertial measurement to dynamically work out the route that is taken in terms of coordinates. It can then generate a point cloud just like a Laser Scanner. The big difference is that users can cover vast distances at one sitting. For example, a Surveyor could mount the system on a Road Rail Vehicle (RRV) and travel at up to 20mph along the tracks, surveying not only the track they are on, but the adjacent roads as well. The accuracy is similar to GNSS, however significant mission planning is required which is key to a successful survey. Drones for surveying Drones are also proving more and more popular for large scale surveys and earthworks. Although the use of drones is relatively new and using them commercially requires licensing, the photogrammetry techniques used to create 3D data have existed since 1850s thanks to Aimé Laussedat. However, as digital photography is the main source for drones, computers rather than humans can carry out calculations much faster. The deliverable is the same point cloud as Laser Scanning/Mobile Mapping, so this method still requires same interpolation of the data. Modern equipment makes processes faster and more efficient Track gauges, sighting boards and other gauges have been around for many years to measure basic things such as track geometry and clearance. And there are still some instances where this equipment remains the best tool for the job. However, more modern surveying equipment makes the processes faster and more efficient. As an example, one of the surveying techniques I previously used was to measure height and stagger. This involved placing an Abtus 4640 Laser Height and Stagger Gauge on the track then lining the laser with the contact wire. The measurement would be taken with the laser, the stagger read and if necessary, the REFOS (Rail Edge Face Of Structure) would be measured. Once all the readings had been taken, you would then have to write them down along with the gantry number. This all took around 20-30 seconds. 286

Earlier this year, Abtus released a nextgeneration model called the ABT8000 Laser Height and Stagger Gauge. With this device, the user aligns the laser, presses a measure button and the display shows the results. If the user is happy with the results, they press the record button and the data is stored to a PDA in their hand. This process takes just 5-10 seconds, which can make a huge difference at 3am in the morning when it’s raining and a Signaller is keen for you to hand back a line block. Another example might be that you need to check the versines on a section of track but also check twist and cant at the same time. One option is to use a Track Gauge and Sighting Boards, but the quicker way would be to use the new Geismar Topaz system, which calculates geometry and versines as you go. Not only can you view the data real time, but it also records the data and produces the relevant reports. Sunbelt Rentals have all the above technologies and solutions available for customers to use. However, people are

sometimes reticent to use as new bit of technology that they are not experienced with. At Sunbelt Rentals, we have sterile areas which allow us to demonstrate, train and allow customers to experience how to use the latest equipment on track, but not on a live line. This enables customers to familiarise themselves with products and learn the right techniques before they use it under pressure. We also have manufacturertrained Service Technicians who ensure that equipment arrives on site in optimum condition. This is key in rail environments where time is critical, and safety is paramount.

We can also look at alternative approaches to help deliver challenging programmes. PBH Planning has over 40 years combined experience working with Network Rail Maintenance, Track Renewals and many principal contractors and we have helped to deliver many programmes on behalf of all of our clients safely and on time. Plain Line Surveys PBH have surveyed plain-line sites across the UK supplying data to many of the principal contractors. Each PBH surveyor has extensive componentry knowledge which, coupled with modern surveying techniques, ensures a final deliverable that meets and often exceeds the current Network Rail standards. S&C Surveys Complex S&C surveys require the highest

degree of knowledge and understanding of the permanent way infrastructure. The PBH team is highly skilled and trained in carrying out S&C surveys, with many years of experience of working closely with our in-house design teams to undertake these projects. Our survey teams work efficiently with single-operator robotic instrumentation and mass data capture systems to ensure that track access is utilised in the most efficient way possible. Gauging Surveys PBH Surveys provide structure gauge clearance surveys in compliance with Network Rail Standard NR/L2/TRK/3203. To ensure the safe passage of trains, surveys are carried out as part of the suite of gauging standards which manage risk relating to gauging compatibility, structural clearances, passing clearances and calculation of stepping clearances on the infrastructure. All gauging surveys are carried out with the latest compliant equipment utilising track mounted Abtus Routescans, Balfour Beatty Lasersweep, Robel Platform Gages and track mounted laser scanners on Track Measuring devices (TMDs). Gauging surveys include rail geometry collected from both TMDs and conventional topographical methods. The Permanent Way Design team within PBH Rail offers full clearance analysis through ClearRoute providing Network Rail National Gauging Database reports. Laser Scanning Surveys When surveying some of the largest and most complex structures on the network, PBH harness the benefits of laser scanning to ensure a more robust deliverable. Some of the benefits of laser scanning include: • Entire and accurate dimensions • A repeatable 3D environment allowing for easy navigation • Geo-referenced information which can be linked to design projects • Provision of an accurate basis to build infrastructure models • Safe non-contact data capture even in difficult or dangerous places to access • A ‘Capture-All/Capture-Once’ methodology to reduce the need for site revisits • An insurance policy against future scope

creep – the data is there even if not required at the project outset Utilities PBH Surveys offer PAS128 compliant Utilities Surveys to allow designers to know what is potentially beneath them when preparing and working on a site. This can help mitigate potential issues when breaking ground or positioning large plant and machinery during construction works, which may cause damage to services passing through the site. PBH use the latest detection techniques including Electromagnetic Detection, signal induced threading and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate utilities. Monitoring At PBH, we provide a range of monitoring services which can be tailored to suit the requirements of our client. Utilising a range of techniques, we are currently involved in monitoring track, structures and embankments on the railway infrastructure throughout the UK. The techniques deployed on these projects range from traditional track monitoring using retro reflective targets and total stations, to automatic wireless mesh networks which can deliver movement information in real time via an online web portal. Our tender stage consultation services aid our clients to consider monitoring provisions and solutions at the procurement and bid stages. The PBH Monitoring team have close working relationships with several leading global suppliers of monitoring equipment to provide monitoring solutions through all stages of construction and maintenance. UAV UAV surveys collect data using small remotely piloted aircraft systems, otherwise known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). PBH UAV operational platforms can be legally flown in wind speeds up to 20mph, and at heights up to 400 feet. UAVs will be operated within line of sight of the pilot, or within 500 metres, whichever is the lesser of the two. PBH Surveys operate UAVs under a Permission for Commercial Operation (PfCO) with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), with permission to operate multi-rotors (≤20kg). The platforms currently utilised to carry 287

A multi roto UAV with a 20mp camera/HD .mp4 video recorded UAV Surveys are a fantastic way to record orthomosaics and detailed 3D models of areas where poor quality, outdated or limited data is available. Rail depots Depots, although part of the railway infrastructure often pose a different set of challenges. Some examples of this would be: • Typically, depots are open when the railway network is closed • Generally, tracks are in a poor condition as maintenance is reduced due to the low speeds permitted • Often depots have a collection of varying materials and S&C ages which requires a wealth of experience when trying to identify

of all features required in specification. • Rendered High Detail – Photorealistic Models used for heritage grade/planning applications etc Case studies Below are some examples of different projects that PBH Rail has worked on.

Scotland for CRSA and Network Rail Works Delivery. This results in an annual combined workbank of circa 300 sites, ranging from Plain Line, Gauge Clearance, Drainage and S&C. Our in-house Planning, Survey, Track Design and OLE Design allows one point of contact for the client which ensures the demanding delivery timescales are met.

Kilsby Tunnel Network Rail realised that the Covid-19 pandemic would cause a reduced train service. As a result, a potential blockade could be secured on the West Coast Mainline covering Kilsby Tunnel to undertake the renewal of 800 yards of drainage and 870 yards of track. PBH got the call ten days before the blockade was due to start, requesting a full survey and design. PBH mobilised survey resources to complete

Monitoring PBH are regularly commissioned to undertake monitoring across a variety of projects. We are experienced in the use of remote web-based monitoring and conventional monitoring. Projects range from the monitoring of tracks, buildings, embankments and railway infrastructure such as tunnels, bridges and arches. PBH have developed bespoke monitoring solutions to meet the client’s needs.

the survey over one weekend night shift, processed the data and delivered to the design team within three days. The design team turned the design around within a week in time for the renewal to start.

Depot Newton Heath was surveyed by PBH due to various concerns raised by the Depot Manager regarding the condition of the structure, therefore a survey was required to assess what repairs were needed to be undertaken. We installed and coordinated a new grid tied to Snake Grid TPEN11 utilising six-hour GNSS observations as per the Northern Programmes standard. A mix of traditional topographical survey, UAV survey and terrestrial laser scanning was undertaken in order to deliver this project in the most efficient manner. The final deliverables were delivered to LOD300 standard along with our usual 3D dgn, registered point cloud and full NR3100 standard survey report. A flythrough of the site was created in order to assist the client with their design from the comfort of their own desk, minimising the need for further site walkouts.

Some depots have stabled stock that cannot be moved - PBH are well versed in selecting appropriate survey techniques to minimise the problems this may cause for a complete survey deliverable. Depots also require staff to communicate with depot managers to agree local safeworking arrangements on closed/open lines within the depot. This requires a clear understanding of depot layouts to work in close proximity to stabled trains and ensure minimal gaps are left in survey data. Deliverables PBH Surveys can deliver outputs directly tailored to client requirements: • ‘Traditional’ Linework/linestyles 2D Drawings – dgn/.dwg • ‘Traditional’ 3D Wireframe Drawings –.dgn/.dwg • ‘Simple Hybrid’ 3D Wireframes/ Solid Models – combining traditional track surveys with 3D Solid models of complicated structures - dgn/. dwg/.rvt/.msh • ‘Complex Hybrid’ 3D Wireframes/ Solid Models – Full solid models of all infrastructure supplemented with traditional topographic surveys - dgn/. dwg/.rvt/.msh • Total 3D Solid Models – No traditional Linework. - dgn/.dwg/.rvt/.msh All deliverables can be tailored to suit time/ cost budgets. • Outline Detail – Building Shapes/ groundforms – representative components. • Medium Detail – Building Shapes/ Features – basic componentry accurately depicted. • High Detail – WYSIWYM “What You See Is What You Model” Accurate depictions

For a more resilient passenger rail Four strategies for improving flexibility, responsiveness and efficiency

he global pandemic has certainly disrupted the passenger rail sector in an unprecedented way: volatile demand, evolving sanitary procedures, frequent timetable changes – and of course – plummeting ridership revenues. Nonetheless, passenger rail remains a core component of urban mobility and decarbonization of the transportation sector. These challenges, along with an evolving market and growing operational constraints, require rail operators to be more flexible and efficient than ever. For over 40 years, public transport and passenger rail operators worldwide have relied on the integrated modules and powerful algorithms in GIRO’s HASTUS software to optimize planning, scheduling and operations activities. Within an integrated environment, operators can plan, schedule and manage mission-critical resources, from track access and timetables to workforce assignments and train schedules. The resulting efficiency gains enable them to meet evolving business goals while also striking the right balance between quality of service, resource constraints and operation costs. Below are four proven strategies for achieving such resilience. They stem from discussions between rail operators and GIRO’s chief rail experts, Alexandre Savard, Director of Business Development, and JeanMarc Pennont, Product Manager. • Strategy 1: Implement dynamic timetabling to adapt and improve service. • Strategy 2: Leverage integrated planning to improve processes, resource allocation and costs. 292

• Strategy 3: Optimize rolling stock and maintenance planning to make schedules more robust and cost-efficient. • Strategy 4: Embrace short-term workforce scheduling and optimization to adapt to changes and empower frontline staff. Dynamic timetabling The pandemic has doubled or even tripled the frequency at which some railways have had to adjust their timetables. This doesn’t include all the last-minute changes needed to keep up with evolving sanitary rules and rampant workforce unavailability. One of the biggest barriers to dynamic timetable adjustments has long been crew shifts, which can’t be significantly changed once they’re agreed upon with staff and the union. ‘HASTUS has powerful optimization capabilities that allow for dynamic shift adjustments while keeping them within the acceptable range – such as ensuring the new report time stays within 30 minutes of the original report time’ says Jean-Marc Pennont. ‘It also takes into account up-todate ridership data and projected demand as well as rolling-stock plans. Imagine a single environment where you can move a train and instantly visualize and resolve the impacts on rolling stock and work shifts.’ Integrated planning Rail timetabling is just one piece of the complex scheduling puzzle. Annual scheduling, day of operations, timetables, track access, rolling stock, workforce. Everything has to be carefully synchronized to allocate resources in the most robust and cost-efficient way possible, without

compromising on safety. Being able to publish changes to schedules quickly is also essential, as riders, on-board workforce and station staff need – and expect – to have the most up-to-date schedules. Managing track access in a shared infrastructure network used by various operators is another puzzle. It takes time, expertise, and resources to efficiently analyse new track-access requests and apply changes, especially on high-traffic corridors. ‘HASTUS streamlines the back-and-forth between the infrastructure manager and train operators’ says Alexandre Savard. ‘If a rail operator requests a new train path or changes to an existing path to better fit its new timetable, HASTUS can use custom or standard data interfaces such as RailML to analyse and process responses from the infrastructure manager. For instance, if track access is granted, but with a slight time variation, HASTUS would automatically inform the operator if this violates any of its rolling-stock circulation rules or creates any discrepancies in workforce assignments. By improving integration and collaboration between stakeholders, HASTUS ensures that all resources required at a given time and location are available. This makes it easier for operators to adapt their services more efficiently while controlling access costs and planning more robust schedules.’ Rolling stock maintenance Creating and securing a viable rollingstock plan is yet another complex matter. Operators naturally want to keep these plans as stable as possible, as any planned or unplanned changes to rolling stock are likely to impact timetables and assigned staff. With optimization software, operators can generate, compare and put rolling-stock plans in service in record time. ‘The rolling-stock optimization algorithms in HASTUS can consider variables such as passenger demand, infrastructure constraints, rolling-stock types, yard capacity, maintenance and servicing plans and overnight service’ says Pennont. ‘This ensures the most cost-efficient deployment of rolling stock to cover all services while meeting maintenance requirements.’ By generating and optimizing rollingstock plans, operators can increase network robustness and quality of service while adapting schedules more dynamically to meet changing passenger demand or cope with service adaptations such as track works.

Technology

It can also lead to potential cost savings by reducing mileage, improving maintenance schedules and accurately defining the required workforce. ‘Optimization is a multi-variable problem in which resources, quality of service and costs have to be carefully balanced’ says Savard. ‘Optimization software leads to better-adapted rolling-stock plans that are robust, conflict-free, and ready to put in service with minimal adjustments.’ Empower frontline staff Technology also lets operators build more freedom into their workforce assignments. One case in point is SNCF, which recently tested a dynamic work-assignment system that considers staff preferences at the Paris Est station. This was done in the context of a major HASTUS implementation program aimed at transforming rolling-stock and workforce planning and management at SNCF Voyages, Transilien and TER. GIRO has also collaborated with several operators on developing short-term optimization algorithms and personalized rostering features in HASTUS. Instead of assigning detailed workweeks several months in advance, operators now only publish days

off and high-level duties to employees on a mobile portal. Employees then enter their work preferences for a given date or period using their smartphone. ‘If a train driver who normally works day shifts needs to attend to some personal matters, they can indicate a preference for evening shifts for the next little while’ explains Pennont. ‘When the adjustments period is closed, HASTUS distributes work by taking into account all rules, regulations, qualifications, costs and personal preferences in the most efficient and fair manner possible.’ Operators who adopt this more flexible and personalized short-term planning approach report a significant decrease in absenteeism, uncovered work and overtime costs. Employees say they have a better work-life balance and feel empowered because they are more involved in the planning process. ‘We support rail operators across the globe, and nearly all of them are focused on building enough resilience into their ecosystem to handle whatever the future brings’ says Alexandre Savard. ‘Optimization software lets them improve robustness, flexibility and efficiency.’

Leading to Predictable & optimized braking enabling closer running of vehicles to ERTMS & ETCS. Ultimately, increasing passenger capacity on the same infrastructure addressing the doubling of passenger journeys over the last 20 years.

Prototype. During this time, it has published and had granted several patents with respect to plasma track cleaning and track sensing, as well as many scientific papers around low adhesion intervention. Subsequently it has completed a successful on network trial with Network Rail Wales in Autumn 2020 of its Road to Rail product. This showed efficacy for cleaning the track at over 7.5 kph. It has also demonstrated the high-speed product on a full-scale rolling track and bogie with Knorr Bremse in Germany on its ATLAS test laboratory. This showed efficacy at 95 kph completely removing leaf layer from the track and returning the braking conditions to maximum levels. Network Rail launched a PIN (Periodic Indicative Notice 02/06/2020) for new track cleaning innovations. PlasmaTrack is the only UK based innovation, selected by Network Rail, for live line testing ahead of three other potentials.

Training – Assessing

Creating a skilled workforce through apprenticeships Investment in the next generation is the key to long term sustainability for the railway, as none of us live forever!

M Training and Assessing takes a railway centred approach to apprenticeships. Along with Educationwise Academy we have created a unique apprenticeship scheme for Signalling Apprentices. There are a number of concerns that companies have about apprenticeship schemes. Local colleges don’t have railway expertise One of the problems railway companies have with apprenticeship schemes provided by local colleges is that they focus on general engineering skills and knowledge. This means that the apprentices then must go on Signalling courses paid for by the company to make them useful engineers for the company. As you will know, this doesn’t come cheap. However, we have matched up the skills and knowledge required in the apprenticeship standards to the skills and knowledge required to be a Signal Engineer. This means that we have incorporated the traditional signalling courses into the learning that the apprentices do for their apprenticeship. Therefore, they get their training at no extra cost to the company. This also means more time to get experience putting into practice what they have learnt. Day release isn’t compatible with shift and weekend work Day release can work well for industries that work 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. As we all know the railway doesn’t work like this. In the railway there is shift work and weekend work. Also, quite rightly, there are limits on the time apprentices can work for and how long they need as rest periods. If the college decides that their day release will be on a Monday this can mean that they can’t work any weekends, which may be very inconvenient and expensive for the company. We have done this differently. Instead of ‘day release’, we do ‘block release’. This means that one week a month for ten months of the year they have a whole week of training. Therefore, we can plan in the traditional railway courses, as well as the technical knowledge training. The advantage for the apprentice is that they can 298

concentrate and get immersed in a subject for the week without any other distractions. They can do the traditional courses in the same way as any other engineer, as it is all incorporated within the scheme plan. The advantage for the company is that they know their apprentice will be in training for the week but the other 3/4 weeks of the month they can work in the same way as any other employee, including nights and weekends. Apprentices may have to be sent away for their railway courses With the college route, because the apprentices are not having the railway courses included in their college work, they

are often sent away to training schools to complete the signalling courses. This means extra time away from working. It also means extra costs for the company, as they quite often have to send them away on courses which means having to pay travel and accommodation costs as well. For larger companies that have six or more apprentices, we will come and deliver the training at your premises. This means that the apprentices are not staying away and there are no extra costs for the company. For smaller companies who only have a few apprentices, we group them by area so that they are not travelling away all the time. This also means that they get to meet

Training – Assessing

other apprentices from different companies and appreciate different roles that each company can play. It also creates a support network between the apprentices, as they are all signalling apprentices and often have the same questions and issues, so they can support each other. Colleges are often large and inflexible in their approach Colleges by their very nature, are all very large and therefore any apprentices have to fit in with the timetable and staffing set by the college. We are a small organisation and are therefore able to be flexible in our approach to the apprenticeship. An example would be when there is a commissioning on, we can delay the training for that month and move it to a different month which might be more suitable. We are also able to combine both face to face learning and online learning. One of the benefits of continuing to deliver during the pandemic, is that our trainers have become adept at using video training and online e-portfolio systems, to ensure that the learners can get the maximum benefit and don’t lose out when they are not physically able to meet together.

What do the levels mean?

• Level 2 is a one-year apprenticeship and is suitable for those who are going to be engineering operatives. • Level 3 is a three-year apprenticeship and is suitable for those who are going to be engineering technicians. • Level 4 is a more in-depth apprenticeship and is particularly suitable for those who are going on to be design engineers. • Level 5, this is a two year apprenticeship which is entirely competence based. Apprentices will gain the same amount of knowledge as the other apprentices; however, they will need to complete a portfolio of evidence that proves the planning, processing, maintenance and production of railway assets and equipment.

most. There are different rules in each of our nations, but for England, if you are a large employer and you pay into the government’s ‘Levy pot’ you have already paid for your apprentices. All you are doing is claiming that money back. The money goes straight to the training provider to pay for their apprenticeship training and assessment. Any training that goes towards the knowledge and skills training set out in the apprenticeship is covered. You only have to pay their wages and other training that isn’t covered by the apprenticeship e.g. PTS. If you don’t pay into the ‘Levy pot’ you only have to pay five per cent of the cost of training your apprentices. For example, for a Level 3 Technician you would pay less than £500 per year towards the cost of their training. This is probably less than a week long training course you would send them on.

Tunnelling – Interview

Kurt Zeidler, Principal at GALL ZEIDLER Consultants Sam Sherwood-Hale spoke to Kurt Zeidler, Principal at GALL ZEIDLER Consultants about his career, the history and development of tunnelling and GALL ZEIDLER’s work on HS2

my career the TBMs underwent enormous development, and now we can use them for almost any ground condition. So there has been an adequate development in this period, but it was not a quantum leap, there was a constant, steady improvement, especially in the materials that we use and in quality control, materials became much better known and more reliable which led to more repeatable results. But we haven’t really seen a quantum leap, because the industry is relatively conservative, so progress is slow. Where the codes regulations are concerned, I have seen the Euro code come into play, which didn’t exist when I started. The Euro codes are relatively widely implemented these days, which is an improvement from the national codes by providing a common base. There are many more specifications and standards in place for materials, there were types of concrete that we tested when I first began my career but there are no universal design standards for fibre reinforced concrete for example, even though we use it quite widely And testing standards for fibre reinforced concrete are available.

You’ve had a career spanning 35 years, how far back does your involvement in the UK go? I would say it goes back a long time, I worked in the UK for the first time in 1991 on Crossrail, in its early days and then we founded the company in Austria in 1999 and then first opened a UK office in 2006. Of course, much of my career has been spent working all around the world but with quite a long time in the United States, that’s where I teamed up with Mr Gall and this formed the beginnings of Gall Zeidler. Then I came back to Europe in 2011, I decided it was time to put a bit more effort into the UK office, leaving Mr. Gall to run the operations in

America. Of course going back further, it all started in my home country of Austria, where I worked primarily on construction sites, from 1981 to 1990, doing a little bit of design and then I started my own company in 1999. How has underground construction technology changed during that time? There have been significant changes, when I started, we used different materials and equipment. I remember my first tunnel was a TBM tunnel, it was a mainframe TBM which is for hard rock but there were no other TBMs available, and their use was very limited. Yet, over the first 20 years of

In recent years, the 130-year-old Severn Tunnel was made ready for electrification of the South Wales Mainline and Farnworth Tunnel was upgraded to accommodate two electrified lines near Bolton. Gall Zeidler Consultants provided expert design review services as the Category 3 independent design-checking engineer on the Farnworth project, what goes into rehabilitating a tunnel? Unfortunately, in particular the UK but also in many other countries as well, there is not that much appetite for rehabilitating old tunnels, despite the fact that the infrastructure is aging in all developed countries, because we all started our railways at around the same time. I have had discussions with relevant bodies in the UK for over 20 years about rehabilitation, but they are constrained by operational requirements, budget and timing. But there are specific challenges when it comes to rehabilitating old tunnels and I always 305

Tunnelling – Interview

try to use this experience I gained with rehabilitating old tunnels in the design for new tunnels, because I realized that for all kinds of reasons, lack of knowledge or lack of adequate materials, certain things were not done the way we would do it today, to make the tunnels live longer. When you start a railway tunnel rehabilitation project, it is typically a requirement of the authority that either the downtime or the closure time has to be limited to the absolute minimum, and you might even have to reopen the track whilst the rehabilitation goes on. That’s certainly a big challenge. And because our infrastructure is so in dire need of refurbishment, because we haven’t done a lot of that work for a long time, this gets more and more pressing, and less and less feasible to have both operations and, and rehabilitation going on at the same time. So that that’s one of the challenges. The other challenge is the lack of documentation. Typically, where there is a lack of documentation, you can’t really rely on what information you do actually have because there has not always been a strictly standardised system for documenting projects. For example, we worked on a project in Pittsburgh in the USA, where there was this ten-metre-high cavern above the tunnel. During the tunnel construction this area had collapsed, they cleared it out and built a brick arch in this area and then over roughly 100 years, material was falling on top of the brick arch and nobody knew that there was actually a void behind it. So when we got in there, we emptied out the refuse which was sitting atop the brick arch and all of a sudden all we saw was a big hole. And the real shocker for everybody was there was a house above us with a swimming pool. There was only a two and a half metre thick, solid sandstone slab in between us and the house – and nobody knew for decades! It’s like when you refurbish an old house, there’s always a surprise. Regardless of what you’re trying to plan, there’s always work to do afterwards that is different to what you expected. So, what we did was build a new arch and then filled the void with concrete, and that was the first time people realized that they had this huge void below them. So you have to be very creative in that moment, because it’s a problem where there’s no documentation and I imagine there’s not many instances where you’ve got this sort of issue, so it’s likely there’s no precedent to draw upon when you’re coming up with a solution? When it comes to collapses, there are often no reports on it, so you have to be prepared for all kinds of things. Typically, the condition of the lining itself, if it’s a brick lining, or stone masonry, that’s quite well known before you start. So you can determine the condition of the brickwork, 306

but what’s behind the brickwork can still cause difficulties. There are some tools being used, like ground penetrating radar, but we still need to develop new tools to give us a more reliable picture of the conditions behind the lining. We can map the shape of the tunnel very accurately and see its deformation, but that alone doesn’t tell you the whole story. A great example of past tunnelling is The Thames tunnel, the world’s first shieldtunnel under a river, which was a gift from Brunel who invented this rectangular shield and used bricks of extraordinary quality. It is unbelievable how hard those bricks were. But one of the other challenges facing these old tunnels is water, which is the prime cause of degradation that comes from the inflow of water inflow. Because in the good old days, we didn’t have a lot of material to act efficiently in such a way to close off the groundwater and avoid ground water intrusion into the lining of the brickwork. We were talking earlier about tunnel boring machines, TBMs, obviously today they are much more widely utilized in tunnel construction. Is that always by necessity, or is it the case that the technology has just improved so much that people are finding uses for them? I think it is always demand, unfortunately, I believe we are not tempted to invent new things for something which we don’t have a need for in that moment. The need for soft ground tunnelling machines came from the urban areas, where there is a higher demand for infrastructure, and the vast majority of big cities are built on soft ground. When you look at London, it is a historic city of tunnels and the reason for that is because of its relatively soft ground which is still well suitable for tunnelling. In your paper, ‘Modern urban tunnelling responding to social needs’, you talked about the socioeconomic reasons for major infrastructure projects, how much of that that has been the focus of your career? I asked myself very often, why do we do this? Because it’s a major effort, it’s a major investment of money, time, human resources, materials. This paper came from a discussion with my partner where we discussed this very question and wanted to publish an answer – why are we so enthusiastic about HS2 for example? So, instead of being technical, we looked at the potential effect of Crossrail once it is open – things like the value of property but also the reduction in travel time for commuters, which should improve their wellbeing, for some people it cuts their travel time in half. You’ve worked on Crossrail and on HS2, the Western Rail Link to Heathrow

Airport as well. What improvements in sustainability have been made in these more recent projects? We have improved the durability of the materials and we have tighter quality control, more protection measures like waterproofing so we can prevent the groundwater from flowing into the structure. Structures today probably have 50 to 100 per cent longer lifetimes than traditional structures. There’s always a discussion about the impact on the environment in any of these projects, for quite some time we ignored the environment when we built infrastructure. Anything we do has an effect on the environment and on our surroundings, but we can reduce the negative effects. For a long time grouting the ground was a generic solution for almost everything, whereas today we are much more efficient with the use of grout and due to the TBM technology, we use much less grout. When I look at HS2, our involvement is as a designer for the C1 project, the Chiltern Tunnel, and nearby there is a water extraction field which has a lot of pumps extracting drinking water and there was a long discussion about avoiding polluting the groundwater, which could then affect the pump fields. In the past, it would just be accepted that we had to build it so we have to risk doing this harm, but now the mindset has changed about the use of materials, and the use of natural resources as well, so we focus on engineering a solution. Our work in the Chilterns is focussed on designing the 38 cross passages and the portal where the TBM started where we came up with a support system in the portal area to avoid settlements. Do you think that a tunnel under the Irish Sea linking to Scotland and Northern Ireland feasible? Absolutely, yes it would be technically feasible, you would probably have to build islands in between where you can have escape shafts and ventilation shafts. Whether financially and economically, it makes sense is a different story, which to be honest, I can’t answer, if you look at the Eurotunnel, it makes much more sense to use that then flying from London to Paris, and there are plans for tunnel projects between Denmark and Sweden, I believe. For the future of tunnelling, we have to bring down the costs and the time spent on the project, and those are interconnected of course. We need to develop technologies which can increase the speed of tunnelling and reduce the costs of it. We also have to reduce the time involved with general planning, Crossrail is an example, I was personally involved in Crossrail in 1991, and I was there in 2012 when it finally started construction.

Tunneling – LIfe Cycle Support

Innovative solutions for the subterranean space Part of the Swiss based Amberg Group, Amberg Technologies / Amberg Engineering has many years of experience in all types of soft ground tunnel construction

sing both conventional methods and tunnel boring machines, Amberg is one of the world’s leading engineering and technology companies, which for more than 50 years has been developing designs and construction solutions in the fields of underground railway, metro and road tunnels. Amberg has built up a wealth of knowledge by building underground railways all around the world and deepened its understanding through close cooperation with research groups and the industry. This enables them to select the right technology for the particular local requirements. The company’s experts work with the most appropriate tunnelling methods, select the correct lining and deliver the optimum alignment. In addition, Amberg develops safety concepts and emergency planning, and design the ventilation for railway tunnels and stations. Signature projects include the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the Semmering Base Tunnel, Lyon Turin TELT Base Tunnel, the Brenner Base Tunnel, the Ceneri Base Tunnel, Follobanen, and many more. In Britain Amberg has been a strong partner for local contractors, building and maintaining railway infrastructure and tunnelling infrastructure for more than 30 years. Landmark projects in the UK realised with the technology and engineering of Amberg Switzerland include the below. 308

Crossrail London The contractors have relied on Amberg Tunnel as their tunnel survey and construction application along with Amberg Navigator in the field, providing intuitive tunnel construction and verification methods. Adapting to the latest tunnel survey technologies contractors on the project realized the potential to gain efficiency in the survey workflow which led to significant cost savings in a competitive construction environment. Amberg Navigator proved to be a tunnelling solution which was easy to learn and use, often operated by non-surveyors in the field. In the following phase of the project AMBERG RAIL provided the technology and the equipment to lay the slab track in the new tunnels with high levels of precision and efficiency. Additionally, the Amberg GRP track measuring device was deployed to do the quality control plus the clearance verification with an onboard laser scanner. What equipment was used? • GRP 1000 Slab Track to lay the tracks. • VMS 1000 for the relative and geometric quality control. • GRP 5000 for Clearance verification. What are the benefits for the customer the track owner? • The confidence that the tracks are

perfectly laid. • Reduction of high maintenance costs. • Properly aligned tracks are an important safety factor. What were the benefits for the contractor? • Cost-effective solution which allowed them to deliver the track meeting the highly set specifications. • Cost savings on equipment and crew. • Timely delivery of the tracks in the tunnels. • Minimal training of the track builders due to the unified AMBERG Rail field application even when using altering applications. • Strong local support by SCCS. Network Rail Challenge Network Rail always strives to improve efficiency and safety as demand on the network is very high and track access becomes more limited. Early in 2016 Network Rail opted for the latest development by AMBERG TECHNOLOGIES, the IMS 3000 Tamping system. The foresighted decision for the AMBERG IMS solution has proven to meet todays and the future requirements. The systems are being used by Network Rail Highoutput depots, which is the part of Network Rail that carries out track renewals and ballast cleaning. The AMBERG IMS3000 systems are used to carryout design verification surveys before

Tunneling – LIfe Cycle Support

the work begins, for pre and post tamping surveys and finally for as-built surveys to ensure the required track geometry has been installed. Up until then the surveys were done using a tape measure and five-point laser with a list of required offsets to the adjacent track. The improvement in productivity and quality using the AMBERG IMS solution over traditional methods have been significant. The benefits for Network Rail are: • Half the staff needed - double production output – double measurement accuracy – 100 per cent digitalized. • Strong local support by SCCS. Furthermore, the AMBERG IMS systems were used on the WCML (West Coast Main Line) for maintenance. The WCML is one of the only tracks in the UK where with a full control network with a control point on each OLE gantry (Overhead Line Equipment) and a 3D design. The systems are used to carry out maintenance surveys against the exiting design and create slue and lift campaigns to improve and maintain track geometry and safety. While our GRP systems are currently used on fixed installation in London, we

see a number of rail survey companies adopting AMBERG IMS, particularly the 5000 scanning system as it offers fast efficient capture of track and surrounding infrastructure. The AMBERG IMS 5000 system simultaneously measures rail positions, 3D point cloud and gauging data at speeds of up to 4km of track per hour. It can also be used in combination with data from a variety of other sources including drones to provide clients with a complete solution for rail surveying, from both the ground and the air. Our customers in the UK are already seeing the benefits of this technology allowing them to mitigate risk, improve safety, save cost and reduce program time, whilst delivering high-quality data.

supporting contractors on the HS2 project in the years to come. A wealth of experience with proven track records Over more than 50 years AMBERG has realized over 800 projects worldwide, spread through the five continents and in more than 25 countries.

he project related production of aggregates e.g. made from tunnel excavation material, the production of tunnel segments for TBM driven tunnels and the production of annular gap filling materials, as well as consulting are part of our services. The company started in 1998 with its first concrete deliveries for a tunnelling project in Germany. Since then, many projects – from tunnels to airports – were added to the reference list. From the UK to Oman and Chile to Azerbaijan, Mobil Baustoffe experts have been involved in a big array of construction sites. Well known tunnels like the Gotthard base tunnel in Switzerland or the Brenner Base tunnel in Italy have been built using Mobil Baustoffe’s concrete. In 2008, Mobil Baustoffe was purchased by STRABAG and can since rely on the strong network of its parent company. Success story – Crossrail In the UK, Mobil Baustoffe was involved in the Crossrail projects C300 and C410 in 310

London for the BFK JV. For the C300 lot, we produced the backfill grout component A using a bespoke setup directly at the tunnel entrance. The containerised grout plants were designed to ensure continuous production of grout even in the unlikely event of one plant breaking down. Using seven interconnected powder silos, we were not only able to achieve the storage capacity required, but also to use the constituents in both plants if necessary. The unloading of grout into the client’s vehicles was performed in close cooperation with the site directly at the start of the tunnel. For the C410 lot, we developed a tailor-made concrete mixing plant for the production of concrete right in the centre of London. The concrete batching plant with a 3.33 m³ twin-shaft mixer was designed to have the smallest footprint possible to fit in the space given. Using an overhead silo for aggregates and a large, screwed cement silo, we were able to achieve the storage capacity of constituents needed for 300 m³ of concrete as specified by the client. The

delivery of the constituents was performed smoothly right into the heart of London via Oxford Street. Using the plant in a 24/7 shift system, we were able to supply concrete directly into the client’s concrete pump (placed under the batching plant) at any given time. Under challenging conditions, we fully satisfied the needs of our customer. Success story – Finnetunnel We successfully produced 48,000 tunnel lining segments with extremely low tolerances for the construction of Finnetunnel for Deutsche Bahn. In doing so, we exceeded the planned performance by up to 40 per cent. This allowed our client to complete tunnelling work for the two tunnel sections within the given timeframe. The production took place in a factory built directly in front of the tunnel in a brand new and bespoke shed housing the carousel system, the curing chamber and a storage area. We also developed special concrete mix

Because success comes from working together. STRABAG subsidiary Mobil Baustoffe specialises in the production of on-site concrete for large scale construction projects such as tunnels but also produces high precision prefabricated segments for TBM drives (“tubbings”). Mobil Baustoffe has been in operation for around two decades and has produced over 15 million cubic meters of concrete in many countries around the globe. Clients can be found across the whole spectrum of contractors, from large groups to small businesses. In the UK Mobile Baustoffe experts have been involved in the Crossrail sites C300 and C410; are currently working for the North Yorkshire Polyhalite Project and are part of the team for the upcoming Segments production for the HS2 S2 East tunnel.

designs with our concrete technologists. With the support of an external concrete expert, the need for the segments coating, which is normally required by the German standard for the given ground water condition, could be eliminated. This also helped to reduce costs. According to the client, our production of the tunnel lining segments for Finnetunnel showed a quality never seen before in a comparable timeframe. For this project, Mobil Baustoffe produced the segments, the concrete and the backfill material – a real ‘one-stop-shop’ approach for everything concrete related. Success story – Cityringen Copenhagen, Denmark For the Cityringen Project in Copenhagen, we successfully produced over 125,000 high precision segments for about 30 kilometres of tunnel. To do so, we installed a production yard within the confines of Sassnitz Ferry Port on Rügen island (Germany). Production of reinforcement cages and segments was done in two separate sheds. The planned output was exceeded by up to 35 per cent. Our client shipped the finished segments via vessel to a storage yard in Copenhagen and eventually by truck to the respective sites along the tunnel line. Success story – North Yorkshire Polyhalite Project, UK On this site, Mobil Baustoffe experts produced the concrete for STRABAG’s segment precast factory. During a short period of very high demand for prefabricated segments, Mobil Baustoffe supported the 312

site with a rapidly setup segment production in its existing facility in Sassnitz, Germany. The segments were then shipped to the UK and placed in the tunnel. Only by standing with STRABAG’s slogan ‘TEAMS WORK’, such an outstanding cooperation was possible and lead to fantastic results. New Project – Tunnel construction works along HS2 (UK) Recently, STRABAG and Mobil Baustoffe have been awarded the contract to produce approximately 36,000 precast concrete segments for the tunnel construction works along HS2 (High Speed Two). The segments will be produced in a state-of-the-art factory to be built and operated by STRABAG UK Ltd. by the end of 2022 in the port of Hartlepool in the north of England. The project, commissioned by Skanska Costain STRABAG JV (SCS JV), will be realised on a leased industrial site at Hartlepool Docks to be developed into a production factory, storage and transport facility. With delivery starting in spring 2023, the high-quality tunnel segments will be used on one of the HS2 construction sites in London: the eastern section of the Northolt Tunnel, consisting of a 5.6 kilometre long, twin-tube tunnel between Green Park Way Ventilation Shaft and Victoria Road Ancillary Shaft. The manufacture of precast tunnel segments (Hartlepool, UK) Considering the precast manufacturing process, the units will be manufactured by means of an automated carousel system, the carousel consisting of a main production line,

a concrete cabin, a curing chamber and a prestorage area. The moulds are prepared along the production line by the installation of the appropriate cage and any other specified fixings. They then enter the concrete cabin where they will be filled with the concrete mixed in the batching plant and transferred inside the building by the flying hopper. Once the concrete is poured and the surface of the unit is finished, they are checked and then vibrated to ensure consistency of the final cast unit. Having travelled along the main production lines, the moulds will enter the curing chamber where the high temperature of the environment will accelerate the hydration process of the concrete to allow the unit to gain sufficient strength and be demoulded and transferred to the pre-storage area. The curing area is a three-stage process where the moulds initially enter an area of higher heat, then travel slowly to two other zones of decreasing heat. Having undergone the initial curing stages, the moulds enter the pre-storage area where they will be tilted by a tilting table, then lifted and stacked for approximately 24 hours prior to exiting the building through the table conveyor and taken to the precast unit storage area by the trolleys/forklift. Once in these storage areas, the precast units will continue the curing process for 28 days until they can be transported from site as a finished product.

Workwear – PPE

Not your average PPE Supplier Now leading the way with the UK’s first complete range of 100 per cent carbon neutral Rail PPE, we look at the journey so far for Safeaid, the specialist supplier of PPE and safety workwear to the rail industry

the 1970s as the Health and Safety at Work Act started to have an impact. Then, as the requirements for health and safety in the workplace increased, the team could see that to become a trusted partner, rather than just a supplier, would make good sense to all concerned. Becoming specialists in rail To add real value, Safeaid needed to truly understand its customers, so the decision was taken to focus activities on specific markets and become absolute specialists. This focus has enabled Safeaid to offer enhanced levels of service through its knowledge and expertise around products and industry safety standards. Initially, it focussed on the infrastructure markets, with the vision to become a fully integrated, indispensable part of a clients’ workflow through technological innovation and world-class customer service. It was just over 15 years ago that it identified the rail industry as a key market, fuelled by a genuine passion for ‘all things rail’ and a conviction that its know-how could make a positive difference – particularly to the rail PPE product range.

t is 46 years ago this year that Safeaid first opened for business. The leading specialist supplier of PPE and safety workwear was initially set up by current Chairman Roger Bowen to provide first aid products to customers in the south of England. Fast forward to the present, and the business has more than four decades of health and safety expertise and – with a focus on quality and compliance – has built a reputation, product range and service that its customers can rely on. It works with major contractors and sub-contractors on 314

leading projects throughout the UK and understands that PPE has to work just as hard as those who wear it. ‘Companies need to be certain that their workforce is not at risk of injury from noncompliant PPE and the reputation of the company is not at risk of damage as a result’ says Safeaid Managing Director, Richard Bowen. ‘Trust and confidence should be pre-requisites when choosing a PPE supplier and with so much at stake, procurement decisions must be taken wisely and based on factors other than price alone.’ The company expanded its offering in

Innovators in rail PPE Through working alongside track workers and health and safety professionals, the team identified a gap in the market for high quality, great value, fit for purpose PPE and from this, the Signal PPE range was developed. Advanced materials and processing technologies are employed in the fabrication of these high-performance products, with comfort and practicality at the core of the designs, which include features such as: • Large internal pockets for carrying notebooks or tablets. • Articulated sleeves, so that jackets don’t ride up when arms are raised. • Cuffs with thumbholes, to maintain full arm protection when gloves are worn. • Pocket flaps to give protection from rain. • Zipped pockets to keep keys, wallets and phones secure. • Eyewear that doesn’t steam up. Style was also a key factor in developing the range. ‘Naturally, companies want their workforce to look smart and professional as they’re a direct reflection of the business’

Workwear – PPE

says Richard, ‘but equally, employees want to feel good in what they’re wearing and if their workwear is great quality, they feel valued by their organisation – there are even studies that show how productivity is improved as a result. Signal, has quickly become the product of choice for many of our customers and is affectionately regarded as the industry’s best-loved PPE brand.’ Another benefit of manufacturing their own garment range is that Safeaid has complete control over supply and is not reliant on UK wholesalers. Safeaid is also the originator of QuickBand, the armband identification system which has changed the way the rail market uses armbands, replacing the outdated metal and acrylic alternatives. These initiatives underpin its commitment to innovations in rail. Knowing what the market wants The key to the company’s success is continually investing in developing and improving its product and service offerings, in line with customer requirements. In addition to Signal, these currently include market-leading PPE management platform, Mi365 and Fast-Track an order fulfilment service which gives customers next day delivery for branded PPE. ‘Ordering, controlling and managing PPE can be a real headache’, says Richard, ‘so we developed Mi365 to give customers a stress-free and time saving automated system which they can access free of charge.’ As well as making the process of ordering much easier, it has been proven to save customers up to 20 per cent on their annual PPE spend as it has the ability

to set budgets and purchasing limits. It also offers many compliance benefits as it has full reporting capabilities and the PPE issued can be tracked, traced and signatures captured. First class customer service and responding to customer needs is what drives the business and an example of this is Fast-Track which was launched following a customer survey. ‘As a leading Rail PPE specialist supplier, we fully appreciate the complexities of rail infrastructure projects, as well as the implications of missing a possession window’, said Roy Stone, Safeaid Sales Director. ‘We already provided next day delivery as standard on our stock items, but it came to light through the survey, that customers often needed their branded PPE just as fast.’ It seemed a relatively simple thing for Safeaid to fix as it already had an in-house branding facility. It invested in additional state-of-the-art equipment and more staff for that department and within a couple of weeks, it launched Fast-Track, its super-fast order fulfilment service which offers the fastest turnaround possible for branded PPE and is unique to Safeaid. Customers can now place orders and on the same day, their garments are picked from the warehouse, have their company logos applied, are wrapped and packed and despatched to arrive with the customer the very next day. ‘Fast-Track is genuinely industry-leading, and interestingly, customers have been quite taken aback that we’ve been able to do it’, added Roy. ‘Since its launch in Summer 2021, it has already proved to be a lifesaver for some organisations.’

Environmental initiatives – the new focus For such a forward-thinking business, it is hardly surprising that climate change is the next major focus for Safeaid with its launch of Signal as the UK’s first complete range of 100 per cent carbon neutral PPE for rail. ‘There is, understandably, huge pressure on businesses to lower their carbon footprint’ said Richard, ‘and our customers, just like us, are keen to play their part. For companies like ours to actively engage in climate action by selling carbon neutral products and services, we are taking responsibility for our unavoidable emissions by offsetting them. This in turn enables our customers to make climate-conscious decisions and sends a clear message to their workforce and well as those involved in the projects they work on.’ The process involves Safeaid providing a lot of data around all the items it produces. From this, the carbon emissions are accurately calculated and offset through a range of projects it supports. The second part involves reducing emissions through developing sustainable climate action strategies. Everything is independently audited by a certified third party. Safeaid’s investment in the initiative, supports its customers’ environmental objectives and immediately contributes towards helping them achieve their targets.
