Foreword
‘If 2019 was tumultuous, 2020 is set to be equally challenging for growth in the railway industry.’ This was the opening remark in last year’s Rail Professional Supply Chain Directory, as penned by Darren Caplan of RIA
UK rail in 2021
W
ho amongst us could have ever anticipated how astonishingly more tumultuous 2020 would become compared to the year before? The railway year is never, as far as I can remember, without its dramas and politics, but 2020 really did prove to be unprecedented.
Last year’s foreword referenced Network Rail’s reorganisation: the increasing responsibility of the devolved regions and routes. Under the Putting Passengers First programme, decision making became more localised with the aim of better understanding what passengers and freight customers need. Caplan also referred to the fact that a significant number of rail business leaders were concerned that 2020 would not be a year of growth (ref: ComRes). He also highlighted that there was widespread uncertainty around major projects including HS2, Northern Powerhouse Rail and Crossrail 2. A year on and against a backdrop of dangerously low passenger numbers and continuing uncertainty of the future of the rail franchise system, there is unrest. The joint leaders of Connecting Britain are collectively urging the Prime Minister to deliver the whole of HS2 to realise the country’s levelling up ambitions. Representing this coalition of business and political leaders, Councillors Judith Blake and Kay Cutts, leaders of Leeds City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council, and Sheffield City Region Mayor Dan Jarvis state that they ‘wholeheartedly’ reject the National Infrastructure Commission’s (NIC) report that was published in December 2020. In their letter to the Prime Minister, they write: ‘We are calling on the government in the forthcoming Integrated Rail Plan (IRP) to confirm a clear timescale that honours your commitment and sets out when the Eastern leg will be delivered in full and at pace, to allow for our cities and towns to have certainty around their growth strategies and long-term economic planning.’ Meanwhile Ben Houchen, the Tory metro mayor for the Tees Valley is leading a campaign to see ‘Treasury North’ located at Teeside with the aim of ensuring policy better reflects the needs of areas that have long suffered under investment. On a more positive note, perhaps, the popular press has reported the launch of the government’s ‘Ideas Fund’ to research the feasibility of reversing some of the Beeching cuts. Furthermore, funding to break ground on East-West Rail and to upgrade the Northumberland Line has been announced. This, I feel, is great news for the communities in question however I find this dichotomy confusing. Recently Grant Shapps, Secretary of State for Transport, stated in interview that ‘Investing in transport links is essential to levelling up access to opportunities across the country, ensuring our regions are better connected [and that] local economies flourish.’

Foreword
On the one hand we have the NIC recommending that major projects be ‘prioritised’, causing regional leaders to urge the Prime Minister not to pit major projects in the North and Midlands against one another. On the other hand, we hear the Secretary of State acknowledging that better connected regions are crucial to developing and supporting thriving local communities. To me these seem to be very divergent approaches which intimate that there is not a shared opinion on how or where to deliver major rail projects that simultaneously support our communities at a regional and national level. The UK has been criticised for putting financial return at the heart of transport policy, as opposed to putting first the societal benefit that an accessible and affordable public transport should provide. In The Economist, Winnie Byanyima, the executive director of Oxfam International, argues that we must never ‘discuss the needs and potential benefits of infrastructure projects without involving the very communities whose lives will be impacted by such projects’ and that we should ‘demand that those investing in our future infrastructure do so in ways that truly serve local communities’. 2020 was indeed a tumultuous year for the rail sector; unless we can regain passenger confidence and encourage them back onto trains, and unless we can truly give a more economically viable share of network access to rail freight, the sector remains at risk. To achieve this, we need to understand and represent those people whom we wish to use the rail network i.e., we must embody the ethos of equality, diversity and inclusivity (EDI). Without this, we will seek to revitalise a transport mode that does not respond to the needs of its users. Without this, the fear of a stagnating rail sector that RIA’s ComRes survey uncovered could quite possibly become the reality. This is where I feel a major positive came out of 2020, and where I hope that 2021 will enable us not to find our new normal, but to be the new different. 2020 was awful in so many ways, but where we saw some great progress was in the exposure given to EDI. The joint ‘Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Charter’ was launched by Women in Rail and
RIA, Network Rail became White Ribbon accredited and the Rail to Refuge scheme provided a free lifeline to hundreds of women, men and children. EDI is not simply about our having a more diverse workforce; it is about us being a workforce that can empathise and communicate with our customers. Throughout the year a number of organisations and individuals contributed to the EDI agenda like never before. Perhaps most visibly was Loraine Martins, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Network Rail, recognised in the New Year’s Honours with an OBE for her work on diversity and inclusivity. Alongside Loraine, others have contributed massively to the conversation. For example, Lorna Gibson, Director of the QTS Group and Steering Group Member of Women in Rail, Scotland presented to an international audience at a Diamond Project webinar on how we can engage with industry to overcome the challenges experienced by women to help improve the gender balance and address the skills gap. Newer names are also rising up: Daisy Chapman-Chamberlain, joined the Knowledge Transfer Network’s as rail knowledge transfer manager; in addition, she was also invited to represent the UK at the Commonwealth Youth Parliament. In these roles Daisy champions innovation not only in terms of technology, but through the championing of diversity, neurodiversity and inclusivity to ensure transport contributes further to social mobility. It is encouraging that our rail colleagues are involved at such a level: this shows that EDI is receiving more attention than ever before. Hopefully this means we will see more positive change than ever before, and that rail becomes more suited to all of those that need to use it, as well as want to us it. 2021 holds much uncertainty for the rail sector; I sincerely hope that regional projects are not pitted against one another and that the government places more value on the societal benefits of rail projects. I hope that the upcoming Williams Review and the Integrated Rail Plan will represent the needs of a diverse clientele, not just the balance sheet. I hope that 2021 will be as unprecedented as last year, but in a good way. I hope we are able to build back better, in such a way that the general public hold our sector in as high a regard as we that work in it do.

Government and Regulatory
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
W
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. Regulation of BTP The BTPA is responsible for setting objectives for the BTP before the beginning of each financial year. The BTPA publishes these objectives, as well as its strategic direction and performance review through three different publications. 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. 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.
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.
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.

British Transport Police Every day, more than six million passenger journeys are made across the rail network in England, Scotland and Wales
I
t is the role of British Transport Police to ensure the safety of every single passenger and member of staff. With growing passenger numbers, freight kilometres and a demand for 24-hour policing, the importance of BTP has never been greater. With police forces nationally seeing an increase in violent crime, the Force has launched a strategy to tackle the issue head-on and keep serious offences as a rarity on our network. The Force also continues to be busy emphasising the importance of vigilance from both staff and passengers. Last year, specialist advisors continued to run Project Griffin counter-terrorism awareness events to thousands of attendees from the rail industry across the UK. The Force now has specialist counter-terrorism teams in the Midlands and North West and continues to operate Project Servator, which delivers unpredictable and highly visible deployments designed to deter, disrupt and detect crime, including terrorism. Protecting and supporting those who are vulnerable or otherwise at risk on the railway network continues to remain a priority for BTP. Working together with industry partners, they made 2,529 lifesaving interventions in 2018/19, a 32 per cent increase on the previous year, which meant 314 more lives were saved. They are also working closely with the National Crime Agency and other forces to extend their approach to County Lines – focusing activity to identify children and the vulnerable, in order to safeguard them from those who seek to exploit them.
Reporting crime The best advice is to always phone 999 in an emergency but otherwise, call BTP on 0800 40 50 40. Alternatively, and perhaps
the best course of action, is to text 61016 – this text will then be picked up by BTP’s control room and if needed, officers can be deployed immediately.

Department for Infrastructure (An Roinn Bonneagair) The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) was formed in May 2016 and carries out functions previously performed by the Department for Regional Development and the Department of the Environment, both now disbanded, it operates under the direction and control of the Minister for Infrastructure
D
fI is staffed by Civil Servants who are accountable to the Minister, the Minister is a member of the Executive and accountable to the Assembly. The Permanent Secretary, Katrina Godfrey, is the Accounting Officer for the Department and the Minister’s principal adviser. Katrina Godfrey chairs the Departmental Board, which is a key element in the delivery of Corporate Governance within the Department. Details of all the arrangements which have been established to ensure proper and effective management of the Department’s affairs are set out in the Corporate Governance Framework. The Departmental Board comprises a further five Executive members and two nonexecutive independent members. The Strategic Human Resources Business Partner for the Department also attends Board meetings. The Department provides a capital grant to Translink for Northern Ireland Railways to operate rail services. The funding helps maintain and develop the rail infrastructure, allows rail services to operate safely and efficiently and helps make public transport an attractive alternative to private transport. Public Transport Division approves and monitors the Capital Grant allocated to Translink ensuring that projects demonstrate value for taxpayers’ money and expenditure falls within budgetary limits. The past few years have seen significant investment in the railways. From the year 2009/10 to 2018/19,
the Department has funded over £430 million of capital works on the railways in Northern Ireland. The major projects currently completed or underway include: • Work continues on the additional train capacity project where 21 new train carriages will begin to enter service in 2021. • New ticketing project is underway covering both rail and bus services Phases 1 and 2 of the Upgrade of the Coleraine to Derry railway line was completed. This paved the way for the introduction of hourly train services between Coleraine and Derry.
railways operating in Northern Ireland in exercise of the powers conferred on it under section 27 of the Regulation of Railways Act 1868. The Department transposed a series of Directives into law in Northern Ireland designed to revitalise the railways and take forward the creation of an integrated European railway area. This is known as the transposition of EU directives on railway interoperability and railway safety.

Heritage and Tourist Railways in Northern Ireland are privately owned and run. They do not provide passenger services for the travelling public and are not funded by the Department, they are however a valuable tourist and heritage amenity. All railway operators in Northern Ireland including light and heritage railways are required to comply with all new regulations introduced by the Department to further improve railway safety. In some circumstances heritage railways operating on their own tracks and at a line speed that does not exceed 25mph may be exempted from some of the more onerous regulations where the Department is satisfied that the safety of passengers and the general public is not compromised. The Department has responsibility for the licensing of all light railways including heritage

Department for Transport A Government department overseeing transport has existed since 1976, with the current iteration referred to as the Department for Transport having existed since 2002
T
he Department for Transport’s (DfT) focus is to deliver a transport system that works for everyone. By always putting passengers and motorists first, we will make people’s journeys safer, cleaner, faster and more affordable today, while building the capacity we need for tomorrow. The Department’s work is directed and overseen by the Secretary of State, Grant Shapps, and his Ministerial team which is made up of four MPs and one Lords Minister. The Minister of State Chris Heaton-Harris and Parliamentary Undersecretary Paul Maynard are both directly involved in rail. DfT Rail Group The DfT Rail Group is a single, integrated section of the DfT. Its role is to provide strategic direction and funding to the railways in England and Wales, as well as to procure rail franchises and projects. Structure The Rail Group has two Directors General who oversee six separate areas: • One Railway and Security • Passenger Services • Rail Corporate & Business • Rail Infrastructure North • Rail Infrastructure South • Rail Strategy, Reform and Analysis Passenger Services is divided into: • Contract Design & Management, Franchise • Management, Markets, Passenger • Experience Policy, Rail Finance, Performance • Operations Objectives The Rail Group’s objectives are to ensure the delivery of improved operational and financial performance, and safety, on the railway. It is also tasked with securing appropriate rail passenger services at an acceptable price through effective specification and procurement. The Group develops and delivers a robust, affordable and sustainable strategy for the development of the railway that supports wider transport objectives and ensures the cost-effective and timely
delivery of major rail projects. The Scottish Government takes responsibility for all of the above in Scotland. Rail Review The Government will shortly bring forward reforms from the Williams Rail Review – the first root and branch review of the rail industry in a generation. These will be published as a white paper. The review has been led by independent Chair Keith Williams, Chair of Royal Mail and former Chief Executive of British Airways. He has focused strongly on improvement for passengers and considered all parts of the sector including its structure and the commercial model. Network Rail Network Rail is a central Government body which operates as a ‘not for dividend’ company regulated by the Office of Rail and Road. It owns, operates, maintains and develops Britain’s railway and is responsible for ensuring that the railway is safe and reliable. As NR’s sole Member, the Secretary of State for Transport is accountable to Parliament for the activities and performance of Network Rail. A framework agreement published in July 2019 stipulates that the Secretary of State has the power to appoint and dismiss the Chair of Network Rail and approve the board’s suggested candidate for Chief Executive. The Secretary of State also determines the Rail Investment Strategy and Statement of Funds Available which contain the Government’s plans for investment on the network. Oversight The DfT oversees the British Transport Police Authority (BTPA) and Transport Focus. The Chair and Board members of the BTPA are appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport directly. Transport Focus has a board of non-executive members appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport (a Chair and five members). Transport Focus is the statutory independent consumer watchdog for Britain’s rail passengers. The TF Board has three other members (in addition to the five appointed by the SofS) who are appointed by Scottish Ministers, the National Assembly for Wales and the London Assembly. The British Transport Police Authority is the oversight
Page 10 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
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.

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) Greater Manchester is one of the country’s most successful city-regions. Home to more than 2.7 million people and with an economy larger than Wales or Northern Ireland
G
reater Manchester was created as a metropolitan county in 1974 as a result of the Local Government Act of 1972. For the following twelve years the county had a two-tier system of local government; district councils shared power with the Greater Manchester County Council. Then, in 1986, the County Council was abolished as a result of the Local Government Act 1985. In its place the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) was established as a voluntary association to make representations and bids on behalf of Greater Manchester and continue to manage strategic public services that were delegated to it by the councils, such as public transport. In 2009, an independent economic review of Greater Manchester highlighted the possibilities for greater collaboration and the AGMA began actively seeking a formal government structure for Greater Manchester. The ten metropolitan district councils were consulted for their recommendations before submission of their constitution to central government. These changes included extra powers and swapping ‘Manchester City Region Authority’ (MCRA) for the ‘Greater Manchester Combined Authority’ (GMCA). The Greater Manchester Combined Authority came into force on 1 April 2011 and over the following years, several devolution agreements were signed between Government and the GMCA. These agreements brought new powers and responsibilities to the region, including transport. To deliver these devolution agreements, it was decided that Greater Manchester should have an elected Mayor to act as a directly elected point of accountability for the GMCA. The ten Greater Manchester councils that make up the GMCA are the council districts of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. The GMCA is run jointly by the leaders of the ten councils and the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham. The GMCA has monthly meetings which rotate around Greater Manchester’s ten districts, with the meetings being livestreamed on the GMCA website. Functional executive
bodies, such as Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), are responsible for the delivery of services with the Transport for Greater Manchester Committee (TfGMC) and its sub committees managing the TfGM and creating the transport policy on behalf of the GMCA, however some decisions still require approval by the GMCA. TfGM delivers the GMCA’s transport policies, by coordinating transport networks across the region, deciding where to invest transport funding, and owning and running the Metrolink tram service. TfGM is a key partner in Rail North and Transport for the North.

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
T
he North East Combined Authority’s ambition, as set out in its Transport Manifesto is to provide affordable, attractive, reliable, safe, healthy transport choices for businesses, residents and visitors while enhancing the environment. Working with partners, the NECA provides leadership and a united voice on key strategic transport issues, links strategic transport planning with economic priorities, provides strong representation on transport issues of national significance including rail, air travel, strategic road network and ports as well as providing more effective coordination to enable improvement to the area’s public transport network. Previously overseen by the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (ITA), in 2014 the responsibilities and assets of the ITA were transferred to the NECA. 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 1961 in accordance with the Transport Act 1968 and is responsible for overseeing work and ensuring

good governance. The vast majority of these responsibilities have been delegated to a committee of NECA – the Transport North East (Tyne and Wear) Sub-Committee. Some responsibilities, such as the setting of transport levies and the approval of the regional transport strategy are discharged by the Authority’s principal decision-making body – the NECA Leadership Board. The NECA has prepared and submitted a bid on behalf of the seven local authorities which aims to obtain in excess of £100 million in funding which will be invested in major improvements to sustainable transport in the area. The aim of this bid is to help close the area’s productivity gap through better connectivity and more mobility, enabling growth, reducing congestion and improving air quality and public health at the same time. 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

National Infrastructure Commission The NIC aims to provide impartial, expert advice on major long term infrastructure challenges facing the UK
T
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
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.
• 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. 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.

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.
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 recently 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

B
oard members of ORR are appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport for a fixed term of up to five years.
Safety recommendations ORR is responsible for regulating the entire mainline rail network in Britain, as well as London Underground, light rail, trams and the heritage sector, ensuring they are safe for passengers and workers. Its 100 or more HM Railway Inspectors routinely visit worksites to monitor how projects are being run. In 2020, ORR’s HM Railway Inspectorate celebrated its 180th year, helping to deliver efficient improvements in health and safety across Britain’s railway. Over the past year, ORR has seen important progress both in level crossing
safety, with a repeat of last year’s lowestever number of level crossing fatalities (two) and the publication of Network Rail’s longterm strategy for efficient improvements to level crossings. The ORR was also pivotal in setting up the Light Rail Safety and Standards Board, resulting from the Sandilands investigation. Its Safety Management System approach, continues to be the basis of not only railway safety in Great Britain, where it has led to fundamental, life-saving improvements, but also throughout Europe. In addition, the whole sector has reacted positively to the updated version of ORR’s Risk Management Maturity Model (RM3 2019) particularly the new approach to assessing and improving in the vital area of organisational culture.

Safety improvements Although ORR’s 2019-20 Annual Report of Health and Safety Performance on Britain’s Railways found that efficient improvements in health and safety continue to be made to the operation of Britain’s railways including metros, tram and heritage operations – the independent regulator, however, warned
Government and Regulatory
about the significant increase in risk to earthworks over the last year as a result of an increase in changing weather conditions. Management of the risk at the platform train interface (PTI) also remains a priority for ORR and it is pleased to see the proactive work being done by duty holders and by the RSSB, especially around new (longer) trains. However, ORR continues to see incidents and we have issued two improvement notices relating to PTI this year, so clearly there is room to improve. ORR particularly wants to see greater collaboration between designers, manufacturers and operators in this area, to bring into service trains that have been designed to reduce risk to
passengers to a minimum. ORR also say a focus will need to be made on pressure on the system, which is likely to change in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, with the recovery itself putting a different kind of pressure on the system. This could be addressed through supporting people, introducing new technology and managing change. Case study Peter Darling, HM inspector of railways wrote about the importance of ORR inspectors leading by example – and that means putting on full personal protective equipment (PPE) before setting foot on site. Commuters know that it can be hot on the London Underground network, especially in stations and tunnels. Well, it’s even hotter at night when the trains aren’t running and pushing air through to cool things down a bit, and if you add in the effects of heavy safety boots, goggles, gloves, hard hats, ear defenders and thick trousers and jackets in a lurid bright orange, it can get really sticky down there. Fully kitted out, ORR inspectors went down into a single bore tunnel to see track maintenance work being carried out near Barons Court Station on the Piccadilly Line. Work on the Underground mainly has to be carried out in five-hour periods when the trains aren’t running, so it was around 2am when the team arrived on site.
The inspectors observed closely while workers broke up concrete so they could prise out the sleepers that hold the rails in place and replace them with a new type of fitting that needs to be cemented in. Water was sprayed over the area to dampen down the silica dust whilst it is broken out, but with the noise and heat, it was a very uncomfortable environment to work in. The work was done at pace against the clock, but ORR inspectors were there to see that workers’ health and safety was not compromised by the speed and, of course, that the work done meets rigorous safety standards.

Rail Accident Investigation Branch The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) independently investigates accidents to improve railway safety, and inform the industry and the public
L
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 RAIB’s priorities are: • Continued delivery of high-quality investigations and the dissemination of timely and effective safety learning • Working with other railway accident investigators in the UK to share good practice and to help improve the quality of investigations throughout the industry. • The active exploration of new ways of working with the other transport accident investigation branches to promote improvements to its effectiveness, efficiency and resilience, whilst also safeguarding RAIB’s
functional independence in the selection and conduct of investigations • To review and revise RAIB’s documented working arrangements with British 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.

Rail Safety and Standards Board The RSSB (Rail Safety and Standards Board) is an independent body, working with its 88 member companies to drive improvements in the British rail system
I
ts role is to help the rail industry continually improve its health and safety performance in order to reduce risk to rail employees, passengers and the public at large. RSSB does this through developing standards, providing analysis and insight to health and safety data, carrying out research, promoting sustainability principles, and facilitating the industry’s technology strategy. RSSB’s strategic priorities are: • Supporting healthy and safe collaboration and informing industry decisions to reduce risk and harm. • Supporting enhanced performance and efficiency updating standards, modernising systems, informing and enabling innovation. • Supporting the application of sustainability principles by collating and sharing tools and best practice. RSSB members include Network Rail and other infrastructure managers, all the train operating companies (TOCs), all the freight operating companies (FOCs), rolling stock leasing companies (ROSCOs), infrastructure contractors, and suppliers.
Data sandbox RSSB collaborates with Network Rail with the Data Sandbox + research competition. The competition is aimed at developing data driven solutions to improve operational performance on GB rail. The Data Sandbox+ competition is part of the PERFORM programme which is a cross-industry initiative led by RSSB, which aims to achieve performance improvements. Essentially its
aim is to run trains on time today, while improving the rail performance of tomorrow. This looks into the potential of helping rail deliver operational performance improvements by exploring advanced data analytics technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. As well as reducing costs, these provide the opportunity to enhance the customer experience. This activity is strategically aligned with the Sector Deal and supports the Joint Rail Data Action Plan. The cross industry collaboration on Data Sandbox, consisted of five feasibility projects funded by RSSB and supported by various TOCs. RSSB launched the Data Sandbox+ competition on 4 April 2019 at the PERFORM programme launch event. The budget for the Data Sandbox+ initiative is £1.3 million, of which £650,000 was contributed by RSSB, and Network Rail matched this figure from its research and development portfolio. Five-year plan The same day the Sandbox+ competition was launched, 4 April 2019, RSSB published its 2019-2024 Business Plan, outlining how it will work over the next five years to support a safer railway into Control Period 6 (CP6) and beyond. Setting out how RSSB will meet a range of industry priorities and challenges to put passengers first, the plan focuses on the crucial areas of safety, health and wellbeing, sustainability, efficiency, innovation and the future post-Brexit. Specific deliverables include: • Supporting the industry to reduce the effects of poor adhesion conditions using improved technology and procedures to achieve better reliability and resilience, including piloting double variable rate sanders on the GB mainline • Launching a new Health by Design web hub, containing key resources for incorporating health and wellbeing within member organisations, including trialling health and wellbeing training for the workplace • Delivering research outputs to help support industry performance as part of the PERFORM research programme, including research into enabling better planning and resource management during train disruption

Railway Industry Supplier Approval Scheme The Railway Industry Supplier Approval Scheme ensures key suppliers can become recognised as best-in-class at delivering the most challenging and high-risk products and services, supported by RSSB
R
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. Future improvements include expanding the scope to all relevant safety critical products and services in infrastructure and rolling stock – as originally envisaged when the scheme was introduced. There will also be better integration with the RISQS platform to create a single, official, rail industry supplier assurance hub.
Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme RISQS is recognised and supported by the rail industry as the most effective means of deriving assurance and managing supply chain risk
I
t gives the industry’s 100-plus buyer members the assurance to do business with confidence with 4,000 supplier members. It’s an open, fair and transparent way for them to be formally recognised as capable providers of products and services to the GB rail market, on a smart, quick, easy web-based platform. Suppliers can be audited once via RISQS for their capabilities avoiding the need for them to be subjected to multiple, duplicate auditing from different buyers. As a scheme user you can, access the cutting edge on-line platform, save time and money by avoiding need for duplicate audits, and get independent qualification through the industry scheme. Buyers can buy with confidence, search for
and reach suitable suppliers and understand their capability, reducing the need for additional audits. Suppliers stand out and are visible to buyers as qualified and verified. RISQS is managed by RSSB to ensure it remains an independent, industry scheme working in the interests of safety. It provides oversight, coordination and a team of dedicated specialists to provide the necessary industry interfaces, service provider delivery and coordination, and ongoing system improvements. In 2019 RSSB reduced the price of membership and audits for suppliers, and continued an ambitious programme of improvements to the scheme including a new benchmarking tool.

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.
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.

T
ransport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is a not-for-profit local Government body responsible for delivering Greater Manchester’s transport strategy and commitments set by the Greater Manchester Mayor and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA). 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 works alongside industry partners helping to drive major improvements to the rail network by securing improvements to capacity, connectivity and reliability and are currently supporting Arriva Rail North
(Northern) and TransPennine Express in delivering their franchise commitments. These include new and longer trains, more travel options throughout the week, improved customer experience and integrated and smart ticketing. TfGM also works closely with the Department for Transport and Network Rail to identify future improvements that align with Greater Manchester’s growth ambitions. In partnership with Network Rail and train operators, TfGM is delivering improved customer information and detailed journey planning and supports a range of rail station improvements by securing more funding to complement work already planned. Local knowledge enables TfGM to recommend which facilities and improvements will offer the greatest benefit for local passengers and which rail station development can spur local regeneration and economic growth. This collaborative approach enables rail to be an integrated part of the transport network. TfGM is actively pursuing opportunities to use rail stations as more than boarding
and alighting points, in the belief that stations have the potential to be important assets at the heart of local communities. TfGM works closely with communities and industry to make rail stations attractive, safe, appealing and accessible for all. Our Prospectus for Rail In September 2019, The Mayor of Greater Manchester published a masterplan to double the number of rail journeys in the city-region by 2040. Developed by TfGM on behalf of GMCA, Our Prospectus for Rail is a part of Our Network, Greater Manchester’s ten-year plan to create an integrated, simple and convenient public transport system with simple fares and ticketing and an improved customer experience across all types of transport – trains, trams, cycling and walking and buses.

Transport for London Transport for London (TfL) is the integrated transport authority responsible for delivering Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s strategy and commitments on transport
E
very day around 30 million journeys are made across the network and TfL keeps the city moving, runs the day-to-day operation of the Capital’s public transport network and manages London’s main roads. The services operated include London Underground, London Buses, Docklands Light Railway, London Overground, TfL Rail, London Trams, London River Services, London Dial-a-Ride, Victoria Coach Station, Santander Cycles and the Emirates Air Line. TfL provides modern ways to pay through Oyster and contactless payment cards and provides live travel information in a variety of formats to help people move around London. The TfL programme of transport capital investment is one of the world’s largest. It is modernising Tube services and stations, transforming the road network and making it safer, especially for more vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. Docklands Light Railway The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) opened in 1987 and operates as a driverless, computerised system with performance and dependability among the best in the UK. The DLR network of 45 stations has multiple connections with the Tube, buses, National Rail, Overground, river and coach services and runs 149 vehicles. The number of people using the DLR has increased rapidly, rising from ten million in the early 1990s to around 122 million in 2018/19 and the DLR route has been extended six times. The DLR is operated by KeolisAmey Docklands under a franchisee contract awarded by TfL. It operates the trains, stations and maintains much of the network. KAD took over the franchise from Serco Docklands in December 2014. A contract was awarded to Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A (CAF) in June 2019 to replace some of the oldest trains operating on the network. The new fleet of walk through trains are expected to start entering passenger service from 2023 providing a number of customer improvements, including the latest audio and visual real-time travel information, air conditioning and mobile device charging points.
London Overground TfL is responsible for London Overground – a group of orbital lines serving many areas of the Capital. Launched in 2007, around a third of all Londoners are within walking distance of a London Overground station. There are six London Overground routes that, together, form an outer London orbital network. This route travels through 23 London boroughs, as well as southern Hertfordshire and serves 112 stations. More than 189 million people used the Overground in 2018/19, compared to 33 million in 2008/09. In November 2016 Arriva began to manage the network’s stations and trains on a day-to-day basis. Network Rail manages and maintains most of the track and signals, as London Overground is part of the National Rail network. London Trams TfL took over the running of Trams in 2008 and completely refurbished the Trams network which had been created eight years earlier. Trams offer frequent services from Croydon to Wimbledon, Beckenham Junction, Elmers End and New Addington. TfL sets the specifications for tram frequency and overall performance, is responsible for fares and revenue, carries out maintenance, and plans and funds improvements and extensions to the network. The tram network has 17 miles of track, 34 trams in the fleet and 39 stops. It serves seven National Rail stations and more than fifty bus routes, nearly 29 million passengers used the service in 2018/19. Tram Operations (TOL), a subsidiary of First Group, operates trams dayto-day under a franchisee agreement with TfL. TOL’s contract will expire in 2030. London Underground London Underground, better known as the Tube, opened in 1863, it is the world’s oldest underground railway network, and one of the largest. TfL is responsible for all aspects of the Tube’s operations including running the trains, stations and control centres, making sure the Tube is safe and secure, and collecting and protecting fares revenue as well as the maintenance and renewal of most of the infrastructure used by the Tube, although some services run over track that is the responsibility of Network Rail. The Tube handles up to five million passenger journeys per day. At peak times, there are more than 543 trains in use on the
eleven lines that cover 250 miles and serve 270 stations. TfL Rail/ Elizabeth line TfL started managing the Liverpool Street to Shenfield rail service in May 2015 and the running of eleven stations between Acton Main Line and Taplow (excluding Slough station) in December 2017. Those stations transferred to TfL Rail outside London were included because they are part of an existing rail route. TfL Rail does not affect the ‘fast’ trains that serve major stops such as Southend-onSea. These are still the responsibility of the Government and run alongside TfL services. TfL has overall responsibility for the train frequency specifications, standards for station facilities and overall performance as well as fares and revenue management. TfL also plans and funds improvements of extensions to the network, and works with Network Rail, Crossrail and other stakeholders to improve those stations and trains inherited, and to build those commissioned as part of the project being constructed by Crossrail. TfL Rail saw passenger journeys increase to more than 47 million in 2016/17 from 38 million in 2015/16. The Elizabeth line is expected to open through central London in 2022. MTR Elizabeth line is the train operator appointed to manage and operate trains and stations on a day-to-day basis.

Transport for the North Transport for the North is the country’s first Sub-national Transport Body, devolving powers from the Department for Transport to 19 constituent authorities in the North of England
O
ver the next thirty years, Transport for the North (TfN) want to transform the road, rail, sea and air connections to help drive long term economic growth. Their Strategic Transport Plan explains the need for investment in transport across the North and identifies the priority areas for improved connectivity. Having a reliable, resilient transport network for journeys to, from and within the North is an integral part of the TfN vision of developing a multi-modal, longterm Strategic Transport Plan for the North of England. TfN want to connect the key economic areas of the North to drive growth, improve access to jobs and ensure the North is a great place to invest and live. The Plan will inform how the Government, Network Rail, Highways England and High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd can work with TfN to deliver investment in transport infrastructure. Civic and business leaders from across the North came together to publish the draft Strategic Transport Plan. The 30-year plan is the first of its kind and outlines how transport connections across the North of England need to be transformed over the short, medium and long term to drive sustainable economic growth. The public consultation on the draft Strategic Transport
Plan and Integrated Sustainability Appraisal ran from 16 January to 17 April 2018. Northern Powerhouse Rail Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) is a major strategic rail programme, the programme promises radical changes in service patterns and target journey times and to better connect the key economic areas and cities of the North. Delivered over thirty years and combining new, existing and already planned lines, the programme will improve east-west connections, offering a huge change in journey times, reliability frequency and capacity. TfN aim to provide improved passenger and freight train services through enhanced infrastructure and radically improved rolling stock, and to support a wide programme of transformational change. This includes working closely with the rail industry to deliver the Great North Rail Project, the TransPennine Route Upgrade, smart ticketing throughout the North and, in the longer term, working to support the Northern Powerhouse Rail Programme. Northern Powerhouse Rail, together with HS2, would transform rail travel across the North, offering much faster, more frequent and reliable rail links. Northern Powerhouse Rail would link the North’s six main cities and Manchester Airport, as well as other significant economic centres. It could be developed in stages, making best use of existing rail infrastructure and planned investments (such as HS2) alongside new railway lines and significant upgrades. Currently fewer than ten thousand people in the North can access four or more of the North’s largest economic centres within an hour. This would rise to 1.3 million once Northern Powerhouse Rail is delivered. The Northern Powerhouse Independent Economic Review identified businesses that have the North’s prime capabilities and by delivering Northern Powerhouse Rail more than 40 per cent of those businesses would be within 90 minutes rail travel of four or more of the North’s largest economic
Page 30 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
centres, compared with only twelve per cent today. Transport for the North provides the strategic opportunity to join up ‘track and train’, meaning train service solutions can be developed and implemented alongside infrastructure schemes. Strategic Rail The Northern and TransPennine Express rail services run through 25 local authority areas, including the 19 authorities that sit on the partnership board of Transport for the North. Strategic Rail, which became a part of Transport for the North in April 2018, was formerly known as Rail North. Instrumental in bringing transformational rail franchises to the North of England and, working in partnership with the Department for Transport through the Rail North Partnership team, TfN are now leading these franchises and engage regularly with representatives from all 25 authorities through their Rail Officer Reference Group. Through the Northern and TransPennine Express franchises TfN have secured investment in new and refurbished trains, enhanced station facilities and faster and more frequent services. This will enable forty thousand more train passengers to travel each day and two thousand more train services to be operated every week including improved Sunday services.

Transport for West Midlands Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) is part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) - the strategic authority with powers over transport, economic development and regeneration for the West Midlands
T
he authority consists of 18 local authorities and four Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) working together to move powers from Whitehall to the West Midlands and its locally elected politicians. It includes the seven metropolitan West Midlands councils (constituent authorities), ten non-constituent authorities/councils and one observer council, as well as the Mayor of the West Midlands. TfWM is the executive body that oversees transportation (road, rail, bus and Metro) within the metropolitan county on behalf of the WMCA. It is responsible for assessing and planning the region’s future transport needs and coordinates the relevant investment while working with operators to improve existing services. TfWM provides rail and Metro park and-ride facilities and works with bus operators to provide improvements, under the Bus Alliance. Improvements such as contactless fares and discounts for young people has seen passenger growth in the region at a time when numbers are falling elsewhere. HS2 Connectivity Package investment The WMCA has been a strong advocate for the planned HS2 line and has put in place a £4.4 billion HS2 Growth Strategy to make the most of HS2 arriving in the West Midlands. As part of this Growth Strategy there is a Local Connectivity Package of 20 transport schemes to effectively ‘plug-in’ the two new HS2 stations to local transport network. These schemes include the transformational East-West Metro with tram extensions to Dudley/ Brierley Hill and through East Birmingham to North Solihull and the HS2 Interchange station. West Midlands Rail Executive The region is looking to reverse some the Beeching cuts by reopening rail lines to passenger services for the first time in decades. These include the Camp Hill line serving suburbs in South Birmingham and the line between Walsall and Wolverhampton. Railway stations, including the busy University Station in Edgbaston, are also being rebuilt as the region prepares to host the Coventry City of Culture in 2021 and
Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Local rail services are co-managed by the West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE) – a partnership of 16 local transport authorities – and the Department for Transport under the West Midlands franchise. Services are run by West Midlands Trains (a joint venture between Abellio, East Japan Railway Company and Mitsui) but branded West Midlands Railway. West Midlands Metro The first West Midlands Metro line between Birmingham and Wolverhampton opened in May 1999. It links key areas along a busy transport route serving local centres on the way. Around £1.3 billion is being invested in the expansion of the tram system and the first part of the Westside extension in Birmingham city centre, with trams running on battery power, opened at the end of 2019. Further extensions are at different stages of development, including the construction of a line between Wednesbury and Brierley Hill, via Dudley. The Midland Metro Alliance (MMA) is a partnership of planning, design and construction specialists building a number of new tram extensions over the coming decade on behalf of the WMCA and TfWM. The WMCA has a wholly owned company – Midland Metro Limited – which is responsible for the day-to-day running of

Crossrail Established in 2001, Crossrail Limited was set up to build the new railway that will open as the Elizabeth line
The history of Crossrail In the 19th Century the Regents Canal Company, began plans for a new surface railway across London. They lobbied for permission to build a railway that would link Paddington with London’s docks, running alongside or even replacing the Regents Canal itself. Parliament granted permission for the scheme in the 1880s, but it ultimately came to nothing. However, fifty years later, the Abercrombie Plan argued that better links were needed between the east and west of the UK’s capital city, and proposed building two new Tube lines. Although much of the Abercrombie Plan came to pass the new Tube lines did not, the idea, however, was not forgotten and transport needs continued to develop and soon the need for a new line that provided better cross-Capital links began to seem more pressing. In the 1974 London Rail Study, that line finally got a name – ‘Crossrail’. The genesis of the idea was a northern tunnel that would join British Rail’s Western Region lines west of Paddington to the Eastern Region lines east of Bethnal Green. The study recommended feasibility studies be undertaken as a priority, in 1980 a British Rail discussion paper, proposed an intercity link across London featuring three route options. Rather than focusing on the east and west, the scheme suggested linking the existing infrastructure north and south of London, possibly via a deep bore tunnel.
Although the route was very different from that which had been proposed in 1974, the overall objective was not massively dissimilar. The 1980 discussion paper ultimately led to nothing, Underground congestion that both it and the 1974 study had highlighted continued to develop and by the late 1980s, the existing Tube and rail capacity was approaching its limits. The Government therefore commissioned and published the Central London Rail Study in 1989 – a report which took many of the schemes highlighted in the 1974 study and developed them into more concrete framework: East-West Crossrail, a line from Wimbledon to Hackney via Chelsea and Thameslink. In addition to all this, the Jubilee line extension was proposed in the East London Rail Study published a few months later. In October 1990 the Government finally gave the go-ahead to British Rail and London Transport to develop the east-west Crossrail scheme. In November 1991, a private bill was submitted to Parliament but the recession in the early 1990s, combined with constraints on public finances, proved key factors that lead to Parliament rejecting the Bill. Despite the decision not to proceed, the October 1990 announcement safeguarded (legally protected from conflicting development) Crossrail’s route, and in 1994 it was announced that the Crossrail project would be pushed forward under the Transport and Works Act (TWA) system,
Page 36 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
but in April 1996 the Secretary of State for Transport, Sir George Young, asked London Transport and British Rail to temporarily suspend their TWA application. Crossrail, he stated, could only come about after the Jubilee Line Extension, Thameslink and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link had been dealt with. In July 2000 the Government once again asserted that an east-west rail link should go ahead. The Mayor of London’s Transport Strategy also prioritised the relief of overcrowding on London Underground. The Government asked the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) to study the requirements for extra passenger capacity to and through London. The London East West Study that the SRA published recommended that both Crossrail and the Hackney to southwest London routes be resurrected and schemes developed to construct them. The London East-West Study was well-received and as a result Cross London Rail Links (CLRL), jointly owned by the SRA and Transport for London (TfL), was set up to undertake project definition work on a Crossrail link and a feasibility study of a possible Hackneysouthwest London scheme. Crossrail Limited Established in 2001, Crossrail Limited was set up to build the new railway that will open as the Elizabeth line. Jointly sponsored by TfL and the Department for Transport, once the railway is complete it will be handed over to TfL and run as part of London’s integrated transport network.
Infrastructure
In 2004 the Government, committed to introducing legislation to enable Crossrail to proceed, and worked closely with TfL and wider stakeholders to develop a funding and financing package. The Crossrail Hybrid Bill was presented to Parliament in February 2005 and The Crossrail Act 2008 finally gave Crossrail a confirmed route – Heathrow and Reading in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east, with new rail tunnels (and stations) under central London as required. Crossrail Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of TfL on December 5 2008. After years of planning and development, Crossrail finally broke ground on May 15 2009 at Canary Wharf and
tunnelling later began on the project. Crossrail tunnelling began in May 2012 with eight tunnel boring machines (TBM) called Phyllis, Ada, Elizabeth, Victoria, Jessica, Ellie, Sophia and Mary. Tunnelling ended at Farringdon three years later in May 2015 with the arrival of tunnel boring machine Victoria. The operational railway was renamed the Elizabeth line in February 2016 in honour of Britain’s longest serving monarch. The Elizabeth line will open from December 2018 with 10 brand new stations and 31 upgraded stations. When completed, three separate services will operate: • Reading to Abbey Wood • Heathrow to Abbey Wood • Paddington to Shenfield. In May 2019, direct services will operate from Paddington to Shenfield and Paddington to Abbey Wood and in December 2019, the Elizabeth line is fully open with services extended to Reading
and Heathrow Terminal 5. Elizabeth line services through central London will commence in Autumn 2019. Tel: 0345 602 3813 Email: helpdesk@crossrail.co.uk Visit: https://www.crossrail.co.uk/

Getlink Getlink was officially born on 20 November 2017 when Groupe Eurotunnel underwent a corporate rebrand
E
ach year, Eurotunnel safely transports more than 20 million passengers, 1.6 million trucks, 2.6 million cars, two billion tonne-kilometres of freight and, eventually, one gigawatt of electricity. Rebrand Talking about the rebrand, Chairman and CEO of Getlink, Jacques Gounon, said: ‘With revenues of over €1 billion, an operating margin of fifty per cent and predictable cash flows up to 2086, Getlink has demonstrated the effectiveness and resilience of its economic model. It is on this same basis that we will continue to generate growth by offering our customers high value adding solutions’. Summer records Summer 2017 saw Eurotunnel set new traffic records for Le Shuttle Passenger service. With almost 564,000 vehicles carried over the period from 17 July to 3 September, traffic grew by two per cent compared to the same period in 2016, which was itself a record year. Beyond the traffic records, recent investments in the premium service, like the opening of the new Flexiplus lounge in France on 15th July are also bearing fruit with bookings for this category up by six per cent. In addition, Le Shuttle has seen Frequent Traveller bookings increase by twelve per cent. Jo Willacy, Eurotunnel Commercial Director, said: ‘Our customer numbers continue to grow alongside their loyalty to our service. I can only thank them on behalf of all our staff for the confidence they have shown in us. The Le Shuttle frequency of departure and the speed of service are key factors in booking decisions.’
Innovation In June 2017 the first stone of the future freight train scanner, the first of its kind in France, was laid at a ceremony held at CalaisFrethun freight yard. The £5.7 million freight train scanner, paid for entirely by Getlink, will be sited on the national railway network following an agreement reached with SNCF Réseau. Operated by customs officers from the Douane, the only authority certified to use such material in France, the scanner will bring savings of several hours to the process of controls on trains heading for the UK via the Channel Tunnel. The installation of this equipment will enable the control of up to 30 trains per day at a speed of twelve miles per hour, without stopping. In addition, the new scanner will considerably improve the efficiency of action to prevent smuggling. Patrick Jeantet, Chairman and CEO of SNCF Réseau, stated: ‘Our specialist teams will work closely together to install this scanner. SNCF Réseau has made space available and will modify equipment to accommodate this innovative solution which will considerably improve cross Channel traffic flow.’ Traffic growth On 28 April 2017 Eurotunnel inaugurated the first of three new, third generation freight shuttles. With the boom in the digital economy and the concentration of cross-Channel traffic onto the shortest routes, particularly in light of environmental
concerns, the market for Eurotunnel’s Le Shuttle Freight is set to continue its growth over the coming years. In response to this demand and to reach its objective of transporting two million trucks in 2020, Eurotunnel invested £36 million to acquire three new, 800-metrelong freight shuttles, each made up of 32 carrier wagons, three loaders and a club car for the truck drivers. Made to order by WBN Waggonbau Niesky GmbH for Eurotunnel, and benefitting from the latest developments in technology to ensure energy efficiency, strength and reliability, these three new shuttles will strengthen the existing fleet and bring an additional twenty per cent capacity, enabling Eurotunnel to offer up to eight departures per hour.

High Speed 1 High Speed 1 (HS1) is the UK’s first section of high-speed rail and operates along a 68-mile-long railway between St Pancras International in London and the Channel Tunnel
O
perating as both a domestic and international service, the line carries passengers from St Pancras International in London to the Channel Tunnel and connects with the international high-speed routes between London and Paris, London and Brussels and London and Amsterdam. HS1 Ltd has the 30-year concession to own and operate HS1, as well as the stations along the route: St Pancras International, Stratford International, Ebbsfleet International and Ashford International. In July 2017 HS1 Ltd was acquired by a consortium comprising of funds advised and managed by InfraRed Capital Partners Limited and Equitix Investment Management Limited.The cost of construction was £6.2 billion. HS1’s domestic service, Southeastern High Speed, was introduced in 2009 and transports passengers from St Pancras International to Kent. Journey times to Ebbsfleet International are only 17 minutes, with Ashford International just 37 minutes from St Pancras. In 2018, approximately 15.7 million journeys were made on Southeastern High Speed. Socio-economic benefits of High Speed 1 In 2017, HS1 Ltd published a report entitled ‘10 Businesses at 10 Years’. The report presents real life examples of how HS1 has helped ten of the most exciting businesses in Kent to grow and prosper. An accompanying survey of leading Kent businesses showed that: • 91 per cent of those asked said that their business has benefitted from HS1 • 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.
Page 42 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
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
H
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.
Page 44 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
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 set to deliver 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.

Midland Metro Alliance The West Midlands Combined Authority, the design consortium of Egis, Tony Gee and Pell Frischmann, and contractor Colas Rail (supported by their suballiance partners Colas Limited, Barhale, Bouygues UK and Auctus Management Group) came together to form the Midland Metro Alliance in July 2016
The second phase of the Birmingham Westside Metro extension will run from Centenary Square to 54 Hagley Road
E
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. 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 Part of the Wolverhampton Interchange, the Wolverhampton City Centre Metro extension will branch off from the existing route just before the current terminus at Wolverhampton St. George’s. The final phase of track laying for the short light rail route is planned to begin in spring 2021. When this route opens to the public later that year, those living and
working in the area will benefit from an attractive public transport gateway with West Midlands Metro services linked to other forms of public transport with new tram stops at both bus and rail stations in the Black Country city. Birmingham Westside Metro extension The Birmingham Westside Metro extension is part of an ambitious plan to expand the current Midland Metro network towards the West of Birmingham and Edgbaston, bringing long-term benefits to this area of the city. The first phase of the project saw the Metro extended from the former terminus at Grand Central to Centenary Square, with the new line, which provided two extra tram stops, reopening ahead of schedule in 2019. Construction for the second phase of the project, which will run an extra 1.37km from Centenary Square to Edgbaston, is now well underway and will add three further tram stops connecting the golden mile of Broad Street to other areas of the city and ultimately through to Wolverhampton.
Page 48 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
The second phase of the Westside extension is planned to be open in 2021, ahead of Birmingham’s hosting of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, where public transport improvements, including the Metro extension programme, will play an important part of delivering a successful event. Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension During 2020, the first preliminary works got underway for the anticipated Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension with utility diversions in Dudley town centre and aging structures assessed and demolished in Sandwell ahead of new ones being erected later in the construction programme. This route is more than eleven kilometres long and will eventually connect to the main Metro line in Wednesbury allowing transport to both Wolverhampton and Birmingham from Dudley and boosting public transport considerably in an area of the region where most journeys are completed by private vehicle.

Birmingham Eastside Metro extension and East Birmingham to Solihull Metro extension Elsewhere in Birmingham, following receipt of Transport and Works Act Powers in 2020, the Birmingham Eastside Metro Extension project was re-ignited with the first early works, consisting of utility upgrades and diversions, getting underway. This extension will provide new and improved public transport links for the East of Birmingham City Centre and Digbeth as well as connecting the forthcoming Curzon Station (HS2) to the Metro network and maximising interchange opportunities with various modes of public transport.

Network Rail Network Rail runs, maintains and develops Great Britain’s tracks, signalling, bridges, tunnels, level crossings, viaducts and 20 key stations
N
etwork Rail is a public sector arm’s length body, giving it commercial and operational freedom. Its main customers are the TOCs and FOCs which provide services on Network Rail’s infrastructure. In 2014, Network Rail began devolving day-today responsibility for railway businesses to eight strategic geographical areas. In late 2018, new Chief Executive Andrew Haines announced plans to deepen devolution, with 14 routes sitting under five new regions – Scotland’s Railway, Wales and Western, North West and Central, Southern and Eastern. These new regions became operational in June 2019. A new Network Services directorate was created to incorporate Network Rail’s Freight & National Passenger Operators department as well as elements of Group Digital Railway and certain national services, such as national performance and operations. Performance On 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 longdistance journeys respectively, at their destination, but the new measures report cancellations and the proportion of trains arriving to the minute at every station on the timetable. Network Rail also measures its safety performance using a model produced by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB). It measures safety from the perspective of passengers at stations and all aspects of interaction between the general public and the railway. 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.

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. Commenting on the launch, Ryan Flaherty, Serco’s Managing Director for Caledonian Sleeper, said: “Our new trains have been years in the making and to see them make their debut is a huge moment for everyone involved in making this dream a reality. The overriding ambition has been to deliver on our vision of a Caledonian Sleeper service fit for today’s traveller, one that combines the modern facilities people expect with that feeling of nostalgia that comes from long-distance railway travel. We want guests to have a magical journey with us, whether they are travelling for business or for pleasure.’ Dubai Metro Serco first began operating and maintaining the initial ten stations on the Red Line from the official opening of the Dubai Metro in 2009. Expansion of the Metro has seen the Red Line grow to 29 stations, while the Green Line, opened in 2011, added an additional 20 stations. The Red Line expansion for Expo 2020 adds 15 kilometres and connects seven stations. At that point, the Dubai Metro will have a total network length of 90 kilometres and over 120 trains running at peak times. Serco’s more than 2,000 employees on the Dubai Metro continue to deliver excellent operational performance and record numbers of passenger journeys.
In March 2019 Serco signed a two-year contract extension with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to continue operating and maintaining the Dubai Metro until September 2021. The contract extension includes the operation and maintenance of the Red Line expansion which is currently under construction.
The total value of the fixed base fee for the contract extension is around AED680 million (equivalent to about £140 million). 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.

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
U
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 including the roll out of at-seat ordering. The 56 Pendolino trains will be completely refurbished with 25,000 brand new seats, more reliable Wi-Fi and improved catering. Work is due to start in late Spring 2021 and undertaken by Alstom at their Widnes facility in the North West of England. This follows on from the completion of £8.3 million six-month overhaul programme of the Super Voyager fleet in 2020 by Bombardier at their Ilford depot in East London. The refresh of the 20 trains included new Standard Class seats covers and carpets as well as a revamped toilet area. Lighting was replaced with more energy efficient LEDs and the interior bodyside and ceiling panels in vestibules, toilets and Standard Class saloons were refinished in either paint or vinyl wraps. Fares and ticket types will be further simplified with mobile tickets and smartcards introduced. Stations will be improved with refreshed waiting rooms, better customer facilities, more car park spaces, and greater accessibility for those who need it. The other part of the Partnership is West Coast Partnership Development which will pave the way for a new era in high speed rail in the UK in the coming years, working closely with HS2 Ltd and the Department for Transport. New fleet First Trenitalia awarded a contract worth more than £350 million to Hitachi Rail to provide and maintain 23 new intercity trains (135 carriages), to be built at its County Durham factory. When completed, the fleet will comprise of 13 Class 805 Bi-Mode trains and 10 Class 807 Electric trains. Each Bi-Mode train, which can switch seamlessly from electric to diesel power, comprises of five carriages and has 301 seats, offering around 15 per cent more capacity than the Super Voyager trains they are due to replace. The electric trains will seat 453 in their sevencarriage formation. The new trains will also cut
CO2 emissions by more than 60 per cent. While initial empty body shells of the Bi-Mode fleet were sent from Japan, the Avanti West Coast order marks an important change in Hitachi’s train building approach. 56 body shells will be fully welded together in the North East, marking an exciting new chapter for Hitachi’s factory, where £8.5 million is
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.
being invested to allow the full build of trains to take place in the UK. The final assembly, where all components and electrics are fitted, of the entire fleet will take place at the Newton Aycliffe facility. The new trains will deliver better and more reliable free Wi-Fi, at-seat wireless inductive charging for electronic devices, plug sockets and USB slots; a brand-new catering offer and a real-time passenger information system that advises customers of connecting rail services.
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.
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

New upgrades The improvements previously made to the tramway received such a positive response from the public that at the end of 2018 Blackpool Transport alongside Blackpool Council began further upgrades. The existing tramway service operates between Starr Gate and Fleetwood Ferry from approximately 05.30am until 11.30pm, with a peak service every ten minutes. The tramway extension will leave the existing route at North Pier, via a two-way double track junction. The route will cross the Promenade highway and enter Talbot Square, which is being remodelled to provide segregation of trams and highway traffic. The existing pedestrian signals on the Promenade will be replaced by a signalled intersection. A new eastbound tram stop is to be located in Talbot Square, to allow interchanges with the existing North Pier tram stops. Beyond Talbot Square, a double track alignment continues eastwards in the centre of the highway. It is anticipated that the proposed tramway extension will be completed by 2022.

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.
a fine example of modern day voluntary working, with up to ninety per cent of its workforce being volunteers. There are twelve different types of car that have been used on the tramway over its 133-year lifespan, with some travelling around the world, like the iconic Boat car which was used in the USA during the 1970s.

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 red-letter 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.

c2c On 9 November 2014, c2c commenced a new 15-year franchise, at that time it was owned by National Express but in February 2017 it was sold to Italian train operator Trenitalia
B
uilt and operated by the London Tilbury & Southend Railway in the 1850s, the current c2c rail service has operated under a number of different names and ownership during its 160 year lifespan. The line was once known as the Seaside line until spending a few unfortunate years nicknamed the ‘Misery Line’ in the 1990s after privatisation, with fifty years of nationalisation in between. Trenitalia paid £72.6 million for c2c after being awarded a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire Passport enabling it to bid for franchises without needing to resubmit corporate data. 21st century service c2c currently serves 26 stations on the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway line from London Fenchurch Street to the northern Thames Gateway area of southern
Essex including Grays, Leigh-on-Sea and Southend-on-Sea. The main route from Fenchurch Street to Shoeburyness is 63 kilometres with a fastest journey time of 58 minutes. As c2c is mainly a London commuter railway and the typical journey is between 40 and 80 minutes, it does not offer First Class seating. Its Class 357s have standard high density ‘3 + 2’ seating to meet high demand at peak times, however 17 trains were converted into a metro style with ‘two and two’ seating and grab handles. London Underground’s District line connects with c2c indirectly at Tower Hill (for Fenchurch Street) and directly at West Ham, Barking and Upminster. Tickets are fully interchangeable between the two operators. There are also interchanges at Limehouse and West Ham with Docklands
Light Railway and at Barking and Upminster with London Overground. Record breaking c2c holds both UK records for the punctuality of its train service: for annual punctuality, at 97.5 per cent; and for punctuality over a four-week period, at 98.8 per cent (set in August 2010). c2c has also led the rail industry in being the first company to introduce customer friendly new products such as Automatic Delay Repay for customers whose journeys are delayed, Flexi-Season tickets for parttime workers, and Personal Punctuality Reports which allow customers to track exactly how punctual the trains that they were on have been. During 2016 the number of c2c passenger journeys rose by eight per cent,

boosted especially by the opening of the DLR station at West Ham in 2011 and the rise of Canary Wharf as a financial centre. In January 2020 research by independent passenger watchdog Transport Focus today concluded 87 per cent of c2c passengers were satisfied with the punctuality of c2c’s service. Technology The c2c app called c2c Live provides a onestop-shop for c2c passengers with everything from personalised journey information to buying tickets, and even paying for car parking. Developed with IBM, this is the first app made by a UK rail company to include nationwide door-to-door public transport journey planning, enabling users to plan a route for any journey anywhere in the UK. Other developments include the new c2c Smart card which allows c2c season ticket holders to switch from paper tickets to an Oyster-style tap-and-go smartcard ticket they can use anywhere on the c2c route. Upgrades Late in 2016 c2c added 24 new carriages to its fleet and on 9 January 2017 it changed the timetable again (in cooperation with local passenger groups) to further increase capacity on the route. Nine new four-car trains were introduced in 2019, followed by four more by 2022 and four more by 2024. c2c’s fleet is maintained at East Ham Depot, although there is also a depot at Shoeburyness. On 1 April 2017, c2c introduced free onboard Wi-Fi and an entertainment service called Vista, partnering with Now TV to provide free television shows available to stream for c2c passengers. Essex Wildlife Trust In September 2019 c2c met with the Essex Wildlife Trust’s Living Landscape Coordinator, John More, to discuss how the disused land around the railway can be used to promote the local wildlife in the area. c2c’s biodiversity site at Shoeburyness station was created by c2c’s Environment and Safety Team. Working with Railscape (using recycled track clearance waste) Mark Manser, Health, Safety and Environment Manager at c2c has created a beautiful and meandering lined and woodchip path throughout the 2,200 sq. metre plot. In developing the plot, the new path has also opened up access to an abundance of fruit trees and blackberry bushes. The local Shoebury scout group have adopted the plot and visit occasionally to practice woodcraft
skills, ‘and probably (along with other members of the local community) to enjoy some scrumping’ Mark reports. Shoeburyness station, was opened on 1 February 1884 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway and it was built primarily to serve the military establishment whose presence at Shoebury started in 1849 with a School of Gunnary followed by Barracks being built in 1863. The current station is pretty much as it was built with three platforms and wooden building, which is the original.

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

Upgrades and investment In 2019, the service took a giant leap forward with the introduction of its new trains – 75 carriages debuting across the Lowland and Highland routes. The fleet, built at a cost of £150 million, has been part funded by capital grants from Scottish Ministers and from the UK government. Designed to accommodate the modernday traveller, the new trains offer accommodation ranging from completely new comfort seats for the budget traveller to rooms with double beds and en-suites – for the first time in the history of Caledonian Sleeper. Accommodation includes: • Completely new redesigned comfort seats with personal locker, reading light and charging point • Classic Rooms (solo or shared use with an option of interconnecting rooms, toiletries included) • Club Rooms (solo or shared use with en-suite, station lounge access, breakfast, luxury toiletries included) • Caledonian Double (double bed with en-suite, station lounge access, breakfast, luxury toiletries included) • Accessible Rooms (double or twin, toiletries included and directly adjacent to accessible toilet) Other new features are included on the new trains, such as a hotel-style keycard entry system, charging panels and Wi-Fi throughout the train. Commenting on the launch, Ryan Flaherty, Serco’s Managing Director for Caledonian Sleeper, said: ‘Our new trains have been years in the making and to see them make their debut is a huge moment for everyone involved in making this dream a reality. The overriding ambition has been to deliver on our vision of a Caledonian Sleeper service fit for today’s

traveller, one that combines the modern facilities people expect with that feeling of nostalgia that comes from long-distance railway travel. We want guests to have a magical journey with us, whether they are travelling for business or for pleasure.’ Global appeal In 2015, the sleeper train service was named as one of Lonely Planet’s Super Sleeper Journeys and in 2014 it was named one of the best six railway adventures in the world by Travel magazine. Both singled out the Highland route to Fort William, known as The Deerstalker, as ‘one of the world’s most unforgettable train adventures’ and that it ‘isn’t a train ride, it’s an escape’. More recently, in 2019 Caledonian Sleeper was ranked in Lonely Planet’s Ultimate United Kingdom Travelist which ranks the 500 greatest experiences across Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.

Chiltern Railways Chiltern Railways began the franchise in 1996 following privatisation. The TOC is owned by Deutsche Bahn and is part of Arriva
A
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, 10th December 2017. Chiltern Railways put on more services and provided more seats over the festive period between Oxford, Bicester and London from December. Website and app Chiltern Railway’s new website has introduced several new features including a cheapest fare indicator and the ability to book season tickets, business upgrades and passengers assistance on a mobile. A new app was launched at the start of 2018.
The trial will involve around fifty passengers between five stations: Oxford Parkway, Islip, Bicester Village, Bicester North and London Marylebone. Chiltern is also working on providing passengers with continuous Wi-Fi through a partnership with EE, the biggest, fastest and most reliable network in the UK. Arriva will use a planned, innovative project with EE as a test bed for possible rollout across other franchises including the new Northern Rail franchise. The partnership will involve EE adding extra network capacity and coverage through a wireless trackside network, making ‘no Wi-Fi bars’ onboard a thing of the past – even through tunnels.

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

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
C
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 will allow 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.

It took over operation of the franchise from Serco Docklands in December 2014. Since it opened the DLR route has been extended six times while DLR trains themselves have grown from two to three cars. Today the railway has 45 stations, 25 miles of track and 149 carriages and during 2019/20 it carried 117 million passengers. The network currently has a 99 per cent reliability record – ranking it as one of the best performing railways in the UK. The DLR service Every station has step-free access to platforms and trains and the network has multiple connections with the Tube, buses, National Rail, Overground, river and coach services. Transport for London (TfL) sets the specifications for train frequency and overall performance and is responsible for fares and revenue. It also plans and funds improvements and extensions to the network. The DLR also connects with London’s cable car, the Emirates Air Line, at Royal Victoria. The service runs from 05:30 to 00:30 from Monday to Saturday and a slightly truncated timetable on Sundays, running from 07:00 to 23:30. All stations have level access to the trains along with lift or ramp access to the platforms. Accessibility TfL have priority seating stickers throughout the trains, better highlighting to all customers where the priority seats are located (eight per vehicle). This is an increase on the previous number of priority seats. Rolling stock replacement The rolling stock programme will replace two-thirds of the existing fleet and provide ten additional trains to provide more capacity and support population and employment growth across the network. DLR customers will benefit from more frequent and reliable journeys from 2024. With over 400,000 journeys made each weekday, the DLR is currently the busiest light railway in the UK. It operates across six
opportunity areas in London, which have the potential to provide more than 124,000 homes and 200,000 jobs. The additional capacity the trains will deliver is essential to support further growth, particularly in parts of the Royal Docks and the Isle of Dogs where the DLR is the main transport option. The programme will deliver: • A new design of trains with walk through carriages, real time travel information, air conditioning and mobile device charging points • An expansion of DLR’s main depot at Beckton. This will include modification of the existing layout to accommodate the extra trains and extension of the existing maintenance facilities to allow maintenance of the new design of trains • Supporting workstreams including an update to the signalling system for the new trains, an additional power supply to the depot and additional stair capacity at Blackwall station The programme will: • Support population and employment growth across the network, especially planned development in the Royal Docks, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the Isle of Dogs • Provide crowding relief through increasing capacity • Improve resilience and reliability by replacing trains nearing the end of their design life with modern, reliable trains History The origins of the Docklands Light Railway can be traced back to 1982 when the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) was created to coordinate the redevelopment of the Docklands area. It was clear that a new transport system was needed. The railway opened in 1987 with eleven single-car trains and 15 stations. The original network comprised two routes – Tower Gateway to Island Gardens and Stratford to Island Gardens. Even before opening day, planning was underway for the first extension, to Bank, which opened in 1991. A further five extensions have since been completed, keeping pace with the growth of Docklands as an international
business and financial centre, and an increasingly popular place to live and visit. Olympic Games legacy The Docklands Light Railway was crucial to the success of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As well as the Olympic Park itself, the DLR also served competition venues in Greenwich and the Royal Docks, and some road events in central London. Significant enhancements were made to the network in preparation for the Games, including the Stratford International extension, the upgrade to support three-car train formation, a new signalling and control system, and improvements to key stations. During the Games DLR carried double its normal number of passengers, which helped the network reach one hundred million passenger journeys in the year 2012/13. Extension plans At the start of 2020 a public consultation was undertaken looking at how to improve public transport around Thamesmead. This consultation, as part of the Thamesmead and Abbey Wood Opportunity Area, included plans to extend the Docklands Light Railway from Gallions Reach to Thamesmead, via the Thamesmead Waterfront site.

Edinburgh Trams Edinburgh Trams began operating in May 2014, achieving profitability in 2016 which was a full two years ahead of schedule
D
uring its first year of service the network carried nearly five million passengers – more than 360,000 ahead of its prelaunch target. This had grown to almost 5.5 million by its second year which contributed to the TOC making a profit so soon. Edinburgh Trams’ 8.7 mile network has 16 stops that stretch from Edinburgh Airport in the west to York Place in the east. Ticketing Regular users of trams and buses in the city can use the Ridacard, which gives the best value travel whenever it’s used. Fully contactless, one-week, four-week and annual tickets can be stored on the card, with the latter two offering savings on the weekly rate. Passengers are also able to use their smartphones for travel by using Edinburgh Trams’ free app. It provides users with live information on the quickest way to reach their destination and enables m-tickets to be downloaded and activated as needed. Edinburgh Trams, and its sister company Lothian Buses, also partnered with Google Maps from the beginning of 2016 to provide real-time travel information. Awards Edinburgh Trams picked up an award for ‘Excellence in Travel Information & Marketing’ at the prestigious Scottish Transport Awards. The operator of the city’s tramway was awarded the top accolade for its commitment to driving its patronage at
Edinburgh Airport and enhancing the customer experience. Edinburgh Trams demonstrated how a successful digital and offline marketing campaign had helped increase patronage at the capital’s airport by almost 60 per cent in only three years. Five year anniversary Five years in and residents have embraced Edinburgh’s new transport kid with a steady growth in users totalling 27.7 million customer journeys since 2015. Year-on-year they have reported increasing patronage, with a total growth of 40 per cent between 2015 and 2018. In 2018, carrying 7.3 million people to work, college, on much-needed holidays or just to enjoy all the capital has to offer. Keeping up with demand, Edinburgh Trams strove to improve the existing timetable and soon increased services by 23 per cent offering more trams and more seats, and reducing the travel time between Edinburgh Airport and the City Centre to less than 30 minutes. As a result, there has been significant growth in those choosing Edinburgh Trams to travel to and from airport, with these journeys increasing by 56 per cent between 2015 and 2018. The look of the trams have changed in the last five years and it’s not unexpected to see a clown’s face or an octopus holding Christmas presents gliding along Princes Street. In 2017 the City of Edinburgh Council transferred the advertising rights to Transport for Edinburgh and Edinburgh Trams, and the first commercial agreement took place with CR Smith who had 18 trams within the fleet
Page 72 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
branded with various scenes from across Scotland. 2018 saw Edinburgh Trams advertising at full occupancy thanks to new partnerships with Diageo, Parabola, Aberdeen Standard Investments, Qatar Airlines and others as well as small-to-medium local businesses and complimentary advertising for local charities. Edinburgh Trams have continued to push the boundaries on industry norms by being the first UK system to allow bikes on board, supporting the city’s desire for integrated transport and active travel. Making the system truly accessible, Edinburgh Trams permitted mobility scooters on board, allowing those who need that bit more support able to travel safely and confidently.

Elizabeth Line The Elizabeth Line will stretch more than 60 miles from Reading and Heathrow in the west through central tunnels across London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east
R
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 step-free access from the street all the way to the platform. The enhancements to the older stations have included improving accessibility at the ticket office windows and wider entrances to ticket halls. Better trains The new trains are 200 metres long and can carry up to 1,500 people. The trains will use up to 30 per cent less energy by tapping into the electricity produced whilst braking and then pumping that back into the power supply, just like a Formula One car. The trains have three double doors per side which open onto a clear area which allows for easier access to the metro-style and bay seating within. Other features include multiple wheelchair dedicated areas and 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
J
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.
BELFAST CENTRAL LISBURN LURGAN PORTADOWN NEWRY DUNDALK DROGHEDA DUBLIN 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. 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.

Glasgow Subway The Glasgow Subway carries 13 million passengers each year, and is currently undergoing its biggest modernisation programme in more than 30 years
T
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 was completed in Spring 2020. In 2013, SPT also introduced a new Smartcard ticketing system as part of the modernisation programme which has revolutionised ticketing options across all forms of transport in the region with train and bus operators all developing smart ticketing options. With more than 230,000 Subway Smartcards now in operation, SPT continues to work with transport operators and Transport Scotland to develop more integrated ticketing opportunities across the region. In 2016, SPT announced a significant step forward in the modernisation programme with the award of contract for the new rolling stock, signalling and equipment to the Stadler Bussnang AG/ Ansaldo STS (now Hitachi) Consortium. The contract worth £200 million will include the 17 new Subway trains which are of the same
length and size as existing rolling stock but made up of four-car sets as opposed to the current three-car sets. They also feature open gangways to maximise the space available. The first of the new trains was on show at InnoTrans 2018, the international Trade Fair for transport technology in Berlin, by leading manufacturer Stadler. The first of the three new trains have now been delivered to Glasgow. As well as the new trains, the Subway’s signalling equipment, control systems and control centre will all be replaced bringing improved availability and reliability to passengers. The system will include new platform screen doors, which will be ‘half height’ to preserve
as much space and openness within the stations as possible while still maintaining passenger safety and security. Once the new full system is in place – trains, signalling, operational control centre, platform screen doors – and has been fully tested, the Subway will move from its current partially automatic trains to Unattended Train Operations (UTO). Transport Focus survey The 2018 Transport Focus survey reported overall passenger satisfaction reached 97 per cent, whilst 95 per cent of surveyed
passengers said that they were satisfied with the Subway’s level of punctuality. 80 per cent said that they were satisfied with the value for money the service provides.

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

Grand Central Rail Grand Central Rail is an independent open-access operator and a subsidiary of Arriva UK Trains, part of the Arriva Group, which is owned by Deutsche Bahn
T
he company has operated passenger rail services on the East Coast Main Line from Sunderland to London King’s Cross since December 2007; and from Bradford Interchange to London King’s Cross since May 2010. In August 2014, Grand Central was granted an extension of its operating rights until December 2026.
Routes Grand Central connects Yorkshire and the North East to London with two routes. Five daily services on the North East to London route run between Sunderland and London King’s Cross calling at Hartlepool, Eaglescliffe, Northallerton, Thirsk and York. This route is known as the North Eastern service. Four daily services which run on the Yorkshire to London route operate between Bradford Interchange and London King’s Cross calling at Halifax, Brighouse, Mirfield, Wakefield Kirkgate and Doncaster. Some services also call at Pontefract Monkhill. This is known as the West Riding or West Yorkshire service. In May 2018 Grand Central commenced operating services on the West Coast Main Line from London Euston to Blackpool after the Office of Rail and Road granted fellow Arriva subsidiary Alliance Rail Holdings access rights for ten years. E-ticketing Grand Central Rail introduced e-ticketing towards the end of 2017, allowing customers to buy tickets online and display them on their mobile or tablet device. Instead of queuing at stations or waiting for tickets to be delivered, customers can now pay for their fare online. Available on desktop and mobile devices, tickets stay available until ten minutes before departure and after purchasing customers receive an email with

Great Western Railway Great Western Railway (GWR) carries over a hundred million passengers across South Wales, the West Country, the Cotswolds, and large parts of southern England every year
A
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.
utumn 2017 was a busy season for GWR, with the end of the year approaching the company launched its brand new Intercity Express Train, marking the next stage in the biggest fleet upgrade on the Great Western in forty years. The new Class 800, ten-carriage train has been built in Britain by Hitachi, it carried passengers for the first time on 16 October 2017, carrying early risers on the pre-dawn service from Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington. In 2018 GWR extended the fleet to serve Devon and Cornwall. A further 36 Intercity Express Trains – (known as Class 802s) have also been ordered from Hitachi’s factory in Pistoia, Italy to improve services between London Paddington and Exeter, Plymouth and Penzance.
Landmark electric trains On Sunday 5 January 2020 GWR ran electric trains to and from South Wales for the first time. Over the Christmas and New Year period, Network Rail engineers worked around the clock from 24 December to 2 January 2020 to switch on the electricity running through the overhead line equipment between St Brides, Newport and west of Cardiff Central station, ahead of a final stage of testing. Final testing took place in the Cardiff area, enabling GWR’s Intercity Express Trains to run on electric between Cardiff Central and London Paddington from Sunday 5 January.
New trains and more seats 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.

Oxford upgrades In the Summer of 2017 work which enabled improvements in line speeds to ease congestion on the railway into and out of Oxford was completed. More than one hundred Network Rail engineers worked through each shift, putting in more than 32,750 people-hours in total during the nine-day closure to renew around just under two miles of track between Hinksey Lakes and Oxford Station. This work forms part of the £200 million Oxford Corridor Project, which will deliver a series of enhancement schemes to increase capacity and improve reliability for passengers and freight operators.

confirmed that the ‘Entry into Service’ process is also nearing completion. This is the process where all the new equipment and facilities are being tested and commissioned. As such this is very complex, involving a wide range of stakeholders. The station will benefit from the introduction of the new Cross Country and GWR timetable, the latter covering all GWR services across Western England and South Wales, representing the greatest change on the GWR network for over 30 years. Some key peak services to and from London will take less than two hours, with a fastest time of one hour 49 minutes, and passengers will be able to get to Cardiff in one hour 23 minutes, to Nottingham in one hour 49 minutes.

Greater Anglia Abellio first won the Greater Anglia franchise in 2012, it re-won the franchise in October 2016
I
n early 2017 40 per cent of Abellio was sold to Japanese company Mitsui. The 150-year-old company operates in a diverse array of sectors and is the first Japanese company to take a stake in a British TOC. At the time of the sale, which had been announced three months earlier in December, Abellio managing director Dominic Booth said the ‘longstanding objective of running the franchise as a sixty-forty joint venture’ had been fulfilled by the sale. Operational history Greater Anglia began operating in 2012 under Abellio, the international arm of the state-owned railway of the Netherlands. It operates commuter services between
London Liverpool Street and destinations such as Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk, the Stansted Express, intercity services between Norwich and London, as well as many of the regional services across East Anglia. Investment and advancement With the inception of the new franchise in October 2016, Abellio announced it would invest £1.4 billion in fleet replacement which resulted in 33,000 new train seats at morning and evening peak travel times. Heavy investment has been made in the new trains with 665 carriages being built by Bombardier in Derby and 378 by Stadler in Switzerland, as well as advancement in the passenger experience.
A mobile app was introduced which features live travel updates, service information and multiple ticket purchasing options. Other steps forward include seasonal smart card tickets and the Delay Repay scheme. New trains On 21 January 2020 Brand new longer trains went into passenger service on Greater Anglia’s Sudbury-Marks Tey route. Made by Swiss manufacturer, Stadler, the new trains have more seats, USB and plug points, free fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, better passenger information screens and improved accessibility including a retractable step at every door which bridges the gap between the train and the platform, making it easier to get on and off with a wheelchair, buggy or heavy luggage. They are much greener than Greater Anglia’s old diesel trains, with lower emissions, and modern brakes which release less brake dust into the environment. Also in January 2020, Greater Anglia started running the first of its new intercity trains on the Norwich-London route. By Easter all its old intercity trains will have been replaced with brand new trains, also made by Stadler. The first of the company’s 111 new electric commuter trains, made by UK manufacturer, Bombardier, which will run into Liverpool Street from Essex, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Ipswich has also been delivered, ready for testing on the network.

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

W
hen the UK’s smallest open access operator launched in 2000, Hull Trains ran just three services and served just 80,000 passengers in its first year. Embedding Hull’s community values into its customer service and building a strong relationship with its customers, Hull Trains now runs more than ninety services a week, carrying over one million passengers a year between London King’s Cross and Beverley, East Yorkshire. A customer-focused ethos has been key to the success of Hull Trains – consistently demonstrating values which has seen it ranked highly among customers and winning awards along the way. In 2017, Hull Trains became the first East Coast Mainline rail operator to be awarded Gold Standard Investors in People status in recognition of its excellent working environment.
New trains On 25 November 2019 Hull Trains welcomed the first of five state-of-the-art, bi-mode trains into Paragon Interchange. Hull Trains has invested £60 million into the Paragon fleet, built by Hitachi Rail, which will transform train travel from Hull to London. Once fully operational, people will benefit from 5,500 extra seats a week, greater reliability and a quieter and smoother ride. Focusing on customers Hull Trains’ unique personable feel is evident through everyone working closely and intuitively together to ensure customers enjoy a high standard of service. The operator has also introduced the UK’s first 4G-enabled single sign-up Wi-Fi and the UK’s first on-board information screens fed by live real-time train running
information to provide more for customers. As a result, journeys are increasing and Hull Trains continues to focus on innovation, people, market leadership and customer service to further increase passenger numbers and improve the customer experience.

announced the early termination of the InterCity East Coast franchise in 2020, three years ahead of schedule, following losses on the route by operator Virgin Trains East Coast (VTEC), who had been due to pay more than £2 billion in franchise premiums to the Government over the last four years of its contract. This was brought forward in February 2018 to mid-2018. The Department for Transport (DfT) decided to either negotiate a deal with VTEC to continue to run the franchise on a temporary non-profit basis while a new franchise competition was conducted, or to arrange for VTEC be taken over by the DfT’s operator of last resort. On 16 May 2018 it was announced that the latter had been decided and that LNER would take over from VTEC on 24 June 2018. The DfT also announced that LNER would be the long-term brand applied to the InterCity East Coast franchise. As part of the overall strategy for the East Coast franchise, the Secretary of State for Transport stated that Great Northern services could potentially be integrated into the operation when the Thameslink Southern & Great Northern franchise expires in 2021. 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.

A
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 five-car 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, air-conditioning, live network information and improved accessibility.

Tramlink Spanning a 17-mile-long route, the London Tramlink runs through central Croydon from Wimbledon, Beckenham, Elmers End and New Addington
T
ramtrack Croydon Limited (TCL) was awarded a 99-year concession to build and run a tram system in 1996. The Tram system opened in 2000. As well as on street running, it made use of a number of disused railway alignments. Part of the line between Wimbledon and Croydon actually follows the route of the Surrey Iron Railway which first opened in 1803 with horse drawn trains, some 22 years before the much more famous Stockton to Darlington Railway. In June 2008, TfL bought out TCL, and set about refurbishing trams, track, and tram stops, which had received little investment since the system opened. In June 2012, six new trams were introduced, enabling services in central Croydon to be increased from eight to twelve trams an hour, and allowing a new route from Therapia Lane to Elmers End. A total of 34 trams run in a circle round Croydon and then carry on west and east for 39 stops. In April 2016, services between Wimbledon and Croydon increased from eight to 12 trams per hour, following the completion of works to build an additional tram platform at Wimbledon station.
lines between Blackhorse Lane and Addiscombe tram stops. Contractor Morgan Sindall was appointed to do the work. Work includes weight being removed from the bridge to ensure the safety of the tramway under it and demolition and reconstruction of both the bridge over the tram line and the bridge over Addiscombe Railway Park. Trams 2030 Passenger numbers are expected to grow to nearly 60 million by 2030, Trams 2030 summarises TfL’s proposed 15-year plan to accommodate growing demand, improve reliability and support the regeneration of Croydon town centre. Trams 2030 sets out TfL’s ongoing works (including the Wimbledon line enhancement programme), the current proposals including major upgrades and expansions to the network, such as Dingwall Road Loop, and the longer term plan for trams in south London.
Integration Passengers can use a contactless bank card, device or Oyster card to pay for their journey, needing only to touch the yellow reader on the tram platform before boarding. London Trams are cashless with paper tickets no longer available at tram stops.
Cashless trams You can’t buy a paper ticket at tram stops but there are still a number of different ways to pay for your journey: • Pay as you go with contactless (card or device) or an Oyster card for £1.50 for a single adult journey. • Travelcard including Zones 3,4 5 or 6. • Bus & Tram Pass on an Oyster card. • One Day Bus & Tram Pass. • Paper Day Travelcard including Zones 3,4, 5 or 6.
Trams Since 2000, the number of passengers on the network has increased from 14 million to around 30 million today, and this is expected to reach nearly 60 million by 2030. An upgrade to the trams network is acknowledged to be needed to accommodate this growth. Trams for Growth summarises TfL’s proposed 20-year plan to accommodate growing demand, improve reliability and support the regeneration of Croydon town centre and the wider south London.
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.

London Trams
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.

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
E
ach year the London Underground carries over one billion people across the nation’s capital, the same number as the United Kingdom’s National Rail network. The network is just under 250 miles in total length, with just over one station for every mile track there are eleven lines serviced by 270 stations. Opened in 1863, the first journey was on what is today the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines from Paddington (Bishop’s Road) to Farringdon Street. For the first one hundred years the Underground, nicknamed the Tube, was funded by private companies, the current operator, London Underground, is a wholly own subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL). Trend setting In the 1860s only basic signage – the station name and exit – was provided, in 1892 the first rail map was shown at stations on the District Line with the first free map being distributed to the public in 1908. That same year the world-famous roundel, the red circle logo featured at every station and all the Underground signage, first appeared. The London Underground made several advancements throughout the 19th Century, many of them coming before any other city in the world had even built its own underground line. The first tunnel was opened in 1880 with the first deep level electric line coming ten years later in 1890. By 1884 there were over 800 trains running on the Inner Circle every day, less than ten years later the Government had approved five more underground lines. Six different lines had been opened before the turn of the century. The Oyster card was first introduced in 2002, other cities, like Hong Kong in 1997 with the Octopus card had brought in their
own automatic touch ticketing cards. Others came later such as the SmartLink card in New York 2007 and the Opal card in Sydney which was expanded to include the city’s light rail in 2014. Modern organisation In order to keep up with the pace of growth London experienced at the turn of the new millennium, multiple changes were made to the Underground’s organisational structure and operating procedures. The first change came with the creation of TfL in the Summer of 2000. For four years the Underground was reorganised into a public-private partnership (PPP) where private infrastructure companies carried out upgrades and maintenance work on the system. This arrangement was short lived however 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
Page 92 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
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 is a 50:50 joint venture between Serco and Abellio, run as a concession agreement with governing body Merseytravel
T
he Merseyrail network has 68 stations and 75 miles of route, of which 6.5 miles are underground. Carrying approximately 110,000 passengers each weekday, or 34 million per year, it forms one of the most heavily used railway networks in the UK outside London. 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. The concession is formed of two lines of the National Rail network known as the Northern Line and the Wirral Line which run underground in central Liverpool. These are operated by Merseyrail and are electrified throughout using the third-rail 750 V DC system. A third line, separate from the electrified network, is known as the City Line, operated Merseyrail Northern Line

primarily by Northern with funding from Merseytravel. The City Line, shown in red on the Merseyrail map, is a term used by local transport authority Merseytravel to describe the suburban services which depart from Liverpool Lime Street on the Liverpool to Wigan, Liverpool to Manchester Lines and Liverpool to Crewe line. Services are less frequent than those on the Northern Line and Wirral Line, generally half-hourly on weekdays. The electric trains are branded Northern Electrics on the services using the Class 319s. Rolling stock Brand new state-of-the-art trains are set to run on the Merseyrail network. The trains, built and maintained by Swiss-based manufacturer, Stadler, will replace the near 40 year-old fleet that currently runs on the

network. The trains will be bought and owned by Merseytravel meaning that they are designed specifically to suit the network. The state-of-the-art trains came into service in 2020 and replaced the current Merseyrail fleet of 59 Class 507 and 508 three-car 750 V DC third-rail EMUs which date from 1978-80 – the oldest fleet in the UK. They will be safer – most notably in the ease in which everyone can get on and off, and will also make Merseyrail the most accessible traditional network in the country. They will be able to carry 50 per cent more passengers while retaining the same number of seats: will cut journey times and will have the capabilities to eventually run beyond the current Merseyrail boundaries to places like Skelmersdale, Wrexham and Warrington. The approval of the project, by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, marked the end of an extensive procurement process which formally began in October 2015 when the Merseytravel Committee gave permission for the project to go to tender after approving the business case for new trains. The Great North Rail Project The £140 million transformation of Liverpool Lime Street was completed with the full reopening of all ten of the station’s platforms in November 2018. Liverpool Lime Street’s upgrade was part of the Great North Rail Project – a rail industry team effort to transform train travel for customers across the North through track and train improvements.

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
T
rams currently run every twelve minutes, but the frequency will be increased to every six minutes in early 2019. Since its opening in 1992 the network has tripled in size thanks to a £1.5 billion expansion programme and in 2017 carried 40 million passengers. Owned by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), the sprawling tram network boasts 93 stops, and spans 60 miles across seven of the ten districts of Greater Manchester, with a fleet of 120 trams. Built in three phases over three decades, the network serves Bury, Oldham and Rochdale in the north, Ashton-under-Lyne in the east, Eccles and MediaCityUK in the west, and Altrincham, Wythenshawe, Chorlton, Manchester Airport and East Didsbury in the south. Construction work on the transformational £165 million Second City Crossing (2CC) finished in late 2016 – the final phase of a £1.5 billion investment to expand the network. A section of the line opened between Victoria station and an award-winning new stop at Exchange Square in December 2015 thanks to fast-track funding from the European Regional Development Fund. Following three years of construction work, the final section of the Metrolink Second City Crossing, between Exchange Square and St Peter’s Square, was opened to passengers on 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.

Nottingham Express Transit (NET) Award-winning network goes from strength to strength
F
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. Awards In October 2019, the network was named ‘Most Improved System’ at the Global Light Rail Awards in recognition of its success in boosting patronage and customer satisfaction. The operator also scored highly in a benchmarking report by the highly respected Institute of Customer Services. It recorded an impressive 83 out of 100, compared to an average of 71 for the transport sector in the ICS’ UK Customer Service Index – research results which support previous independent and internal survey findings. Community activity With close links to many community partners, the network provides support for a range of groups and organisations in the neighbourhoods it serves. In 2019, employees voted to ‘adopt’ Macmillan Cancer Support as their charity of the year and, with poundfor-pound match funding from the company, they are on target to raise £10,000 within twelve months for their ‘adopted’ charity. 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, well-known literary figures, scientists, community leaders, actors and sports stars related to the city.

Pre Metro Operations Pre Metro Operations is a highly commended train operating company working with leading rail franchises and investors to create community connectivity across the West Midlands
P
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 currently stands in the region of 99.8 per cent 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.

S
cotRail provides over 94 million passenger journeys each year, with over 2,300 intercity, regional and suburban rail services a day, more than 340 stations, and 1,016 trains serving Scotland’s railway. Record investment Figures published on 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. The roll-out of the state-of-the-art trains has been made possible by the Scottish Government funded electrification of the main line between Scotland’s two largest cities and the completion of platform extensions at Glasgow Queen Street station and Edinburgh Waverley delivered by Network Rail Scotland. This follows the retirement of ScotRail’s Class 314 trains, which operated on routes across Strathclyde since 1979. The state-of-

the-art Hitachi built Class 385 trains operate on routes across Central Scotland, and the completion of platform extensions at Glasgow Queen Street station by Network Rail has enabled ScotRail to operate eightcarriage Class 385 Express trains between Glasgow and Edinburgh via Falkirk High. ScotRail is also in the process of introducing 26 refurbished high-speed Inter7City trains to connect Scotland’s seven cities. When the Inter7City rollout is complete, it will allow the train operatorto make better use of its existing trains, with even more carriages deployed to Fife and the Borders.
Robroyston station On 16 December ScotRail’s award winning Robroyston station is celebrating its first anniversary. The £14 million station, which scooped the Transport Team/Partnership of the Year prize at the recent Scottish Transport Awards, was officially opened on 16 December 2019 by Michael Matheson MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity. Robroyston had an immediate impact when it opened, recording average customer journeys of 3,500 a week. The coronavirus pandemic slowed demand
down to a fraction of its pre-Covid levels, however, the train operator and its partners are confident when passenger numbers begin to climb, Robroyston will prove to be an important part of the rail network in the west of Scotland and beyond.

S
outh Western Railway is owned 70/30 by FirstGroup and MTR. The company operates commuter services from London Waterloo to south west London and suburban and regional services in Surrey, Hampshire and Dorset, as well as regional services in Devon, Somerset, Berkshire and Wiltshire. Its subsidiary Island Line operates services on the Isle of Wight.
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 refurbishment of passenger accommodation using quality materials. The refurbishment of the Desiro fleet is part of a £110 million programme to refurbish five fleets 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.
Sustainability Throughout 2018 South Western Railway increased its recycling to 3,900 tonnes of waste a year and diverted all of its other waste to generate energy. The company also arranged for old uniforms to be reused or donated to charities and has plans to roll out water fountains across more stations. In November 2018 this work was rewarded with a gold award in the Environmental Excellence category at the Green Apple awards. South Western Railway was also commended for hitting its zero waste to landfill eight months early (since July 2018, a hundred per cent of its waste is diverted from landfill – it is either recycled or used to generate energy).

Stations All 187 stations on the South Western Railway (SWR) network now have Wi-Fi available. The upgrade by BT builds on other recent improvements delivered by SWR, such as its £1.5 million station re-painting programme, further demonstrating its commitment to bettering its service at every stage of the journey. It comes as part of a three-year SWR partnership with BT, which has already delivered the upgrade of 104 4G EE cell masts on SWR’s network and will soon see 31 new masts built. These will be critical to the improvement of SWR’s onboard Wi-Fi, something SWR and BT have made significant headway on, with onboard connectivity speeds increasing by approximately 23 per cent since January 2019 across the 104 sites.

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

Stagecoach Supertram Stagecoach Supertram has been serving the city of Sheffield since 1994 with four tram lines calling at 50 stops
T
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) distributes electricity to trains at 750 volts DC, which is considerably more than the power on most tram systems.
Around 14.5 million passengers use the tram every year. Tram Train innovation Tram train vehicles that can operate on both mainline rail and tram tracks rolled out on 25 October 2018, making it possible to make a single journey between tram stops and conventional rail stations. Three Tram Trains an hour travel on the Supertram network from Sheffield Cathedral to Meadowhall South, before proceeding over a new section of track linking the tram line to the rail track called the Tinsley Chord and on to the national rail network to Parkgate Retail Centre via Rotherham Central station. The Government funded programme is a partnership between South Yorkshire
Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE), Network Rail, Stagecoach Supertram and Northern Rail to pilot this pioneering technology. The seven Stadler built tram trains have been in public service since September 2017.

essential to delivering the ambitions of the draft Programme for Government and the Belfast Agenda. North-West Transport Hub Representing an investment of around £27 million, funding for this major project has been secured from the EU’s INTERREG VA Programme, administered by SEUPB with support from the Department for Infrastructure and the Department of Transport in Ireland, as well as from Derry City and Strabane District Council. The North-West Transport Hub in Derry~Londonderry has been in operational use since October 2019. The project was fully completed, following works to provide a 100-space park and ride site (including accessibility parking and e-charge points), a bus turning circle and additional greenway works, in November 2020. The new bus turning area makes it easier to drop off and pick up passengers, while those that prefer to walk or cycle can easily use the new Greenway path linking the Hub to Foyle Street Bus Station and the city centre via the Peace Bridge. The Hub is a major scheme that will be a key portal for the North-West region, supporting business, leisure and tourism opportunities, as well as acting as a vital community space for everyone in the city. The project also protects the iconic Victorian station building and will be a catalyst for development in the wider Waterside and Duke Street area.

assistance to ‘turn up and go’ will be introduced from April 2020. Stations and overhead wires will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, with at least 50 per cent sourced in Wales. The availability and quality of ticketing facilities will be transformed by 2023 and Delay Repay was introduced for delays of above 15 minutes from January 2019. More than 700 new customer information screens will be installed across the network and in other locations including colleges, hospitals and workplaces. To support an integrated network, Transport for Wales are ensuring that there is appropriate signage at all stations to promote onward travel by public transport and it will also fund and support all staff who want to learn Welsh. These improvements are part of a series of investments from a range of sources, including the Welsh Government, totalling £1.9 billion that will be made over the 15-year contract period to bring about a transformation in rail travel for people and communities the length and breadth of Wales and its borders.

West Midlands Metro The West Midlands Metro is a tram line running on a 13-mile-long route between Birmingham and Wolverhampton via West Bromwich and Wednesbury
O
wned by the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and operated by Midland Metro (MML), the West Midlands Metro opened in May 1999 and ran on a previously unused section of line that was part of the Great Western Railway – the Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton Low Level Line. Rebrand and expansion MML was awarded a 15-year operations and maintenance contract for the Metro system by the WMCA starting on 24th June 2018. Working with Transport for West Midlands, it expects to grow the £12 million turnover to £50 million by 2030. It currently employs 200 staff and carries eight million passengers per year, it is expected this will grow to over 400 staff and 30 million passengers by 2030. The West Midlands Combined Authority and Transport for West Midlands is spearheading a £1.3 billion investment programme. The project will add new control, communications and passenger information systems and an upgraded depot, control room and maintenance facilities. Rolling stock Currently, there are 21 Urbos 3 model trams operating on the regional network. The first of those to be fitted with batteries was launched into operation in April 2018. The other 20 existing trams are being retro-fitted with batteries in a rolling programme designed to ensure passenger services remain unaffected. The battery technology removes the need for overhead electrical wires. This will
help engineers meet various challenges constructing the new network extensions – for example, the battery-powered trams will be able to travel underneath the Five Ways roundabout and the new Curzon St station. Once a supplier is awarded the contract, around May 2019, there will be a two-year design and development process. The first of the new trams are expected to be in action by Summer 2021. Extension project In 2016 the tram line was extended into Birmingham city centre. Work on five new stops started early in 2017 in a £150 million extension project, £60 million of which comes from the Department of Transport and the rest coming from Birmingham City Council and other local authorities and developers. The line is being extended by 1.2 miles from New Street station to Hagley Road and is currently predicted to start operations by 2021/22. In order to maintain the aesthetic of the buildings along the extension parts of the route will not have overhead lines and the trams will instead run on batteries. The single line currently stops at 26 stations with four more under construction. Brierley Hill On 20 November 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May announced a £250 million grant which would create eight thousand jobs as part of the Government’s ‘Transforming Cities’ initiative. The total size of the fund is £1.7 billion, with £207 million of the grant being allocated by the West Midlands
Combined Authority towards the extension to Brierley Hill. Preliminary works for this line are under way and it is expected to open to Dudley Town Centre in late 2022 and Brierley Hill in late 2023. The line will branch out from Wednesbury station and run for just under seven miles, mostly along a disused freight line. Services will operate every six minutes during peak times and every ten minutes at other times with a journey time of 24 minutes between Wednesbury and the terminus at Brierley Hill Town Centre.

West Midlands Trains West Midlands Trains began operations on 10 December 2017, taking over from London Midland in a new franchise that will run until March 2026
T
he company operates two franchises – the Birminghamcentred West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway, which replaced London Midland’s West Coast services. The West Midlands Railway brand was announced in 2017, after being created by the West Midlands Combined Authority. The introduction of two new, separate, railway brands is to enable potential devolution of Department for Transport powers to the West Midlands Combined Authority. London Northwestern Railway would remain under the remit of the Department for Transport for future retender. Both London Northwestern Railway and West Midlands Railway offer fresh propositions for their customers. The brands have a shared management board while being closely aligned to their specific regional and route requirements. The current changes are a part of the near £1 billion of investment into the network over the next nine years 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. Dominic Booth, Managing Director of Abellio UK, said: ‘We are delighted to bring the London Northwestern Railway brand to a whole new generation of passengers, and it seems apt during a time of record investment into the railways. ‘This is all part of the £1 billion of improvements we are delivering to the network over the coming years.’ More than £60 million is to be invested in station improvements delivering over a thousand new car parking spaces and over 2,500 cycle parking spaces. This is alongside new and refurbished waiting rooms, more seats at stations and feasibility studies into developing new stations in the West Midlands. 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.
Dominic Booth said: ‘It is great news that so many of these trains will be produced in the UK. As a company, we are committed to working with the government to strengthen the British economy and deliver thousands of high-quality jobs over the
coming years.’ The trains will provide improved information for passengers with audiovisual displays on all trains as well as 800 new digital screens across the network. Free Wi-Fi is being installed on all trains.

As part of the cash injection 900 new apprenticeships will be created over the lifetime of the franchise with existing staff benefitting from a £13 million investment in staff training and development during that same period. In September 2019, WMT launched the first round of its £1.7 million Customer and Communities Improvement Fund which invited bids from groups for schemes to boost the immediate and wider station environment. There is a further £1.25 million earmarked for investment in community rail initiatives. West Midlands hub Trains running only in the West Midlands area will be jointly managed by the Department for Transport (DfT) and West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE), a consortium of 16 local councils. This is the first time that West Midlands authorities have had such a level of influence in setting out what a train company needs to deliver for local passengers. A business case outlining the importance of a Midlands Rail Hub, was drawn up by the Midlands Connect partnership in collaboration with
Network Rail. Key elements of the Midlands Hub study included: • Building the Bordesley Chord which will allow key services to access Moor Street station instead of New Street station and provide the potential for new stations at Moseley, Kings Heath and Hazelwell • Bringing additional platforms at Moor Street into use • Increasing the number of tracks from two to four through Water Orton to accommodate more passenger and freight services • £2 billion of economic benefits unlocking new jobs and supporting economic growth over the next ten to thirty years • Up to ten extra trains per hour in and out of Birmingham linking with other towns and cities in the Midlands including Leicester, Nottingham and Tamworth and Burton-on-Trent. • Up to 26,000 lorries off the road every year
Cllr Mark Winnington, Vice Chair of the WMRE and cabinet member for economic growth at Staffordshire County Council, said at the time: ‘The proposals in this Study would bring significant benefits for West Midlands passengers with more trains, more destinations and more capacity. That is crucial when you consider there will be an estimated 24 million extra passenger train journeys being made in the Midlands each year by 2023. ‘As a consortium of local councils we have already been able to secure a raft of improvements starting in December when we will take over management of the commuter network in partnership with the Government.’ Key Personnel Managing Director: Julian Edwards Engineering Director: Zena Dent Contact Information Address: 134 Edmund Street, Birmingham B3 2ES Tel: 0333 311 0039 Email: Contact Via Website Visit: www.wmtrains.co.uk

Freight Operators
Colas Rail Freight Formerly known as Seco Rail, Colas Rail is a rail freight operator owned by French industrial group Bouygues
C
olas Rail is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of railway infrastructure services.
The organisation is split into four different sections: • Rail Infrastructure • Rail Services • Urban Rail • High-Speed Rail The infrastructure section covers railway construction and maintenance activities, much of this work is done on behalf of Network Rail. The services section consists of freight activities and rail grinding and strategic plants services and the urban section is dedicated to urban rail construction and maintenance. Combined, the different sections of Colas Rail cover all aspects of rail infrastructure, high-speed and light rail as well as being a national freight operator. It currently has a freight haulage contract with Network Rail worth £90 million. That contract runs for the entirety of Network Rail’s Control Period Five which comes to an end in 2019. Rolling stock Colas Rail currently operates an extensive fleet of railway assets: 130 locomotives, 500 wagons and two track-laying trains. As well as three ballast clearing machines, 32 ballast tampers, three stabilisers, 13 ballast regulators, 55 road-rail vehicles, 15 loaders, and three concreting trains, across the 20 countries in which it operates. Included in this collection are several ‘Specialist Wagons’ including eight ‘Slinger’ rail delivery and recovery gantry wagons, one high capacity 125T Kirow crane KRC 1200 UK, 16 PEM LEM switch handling units (PEMs/ LEMs) and two Track Relaying Machines (TRM). Following on from a shift away from freight operations towards rolling stock maintenance it expanded its rolling stock maintenance business in October 2016 by establishing a new French subsidiary, Ramfer. Site of the future In 2019, Network Rail and Colas Rail UK used solar lighting and power generation to prove the viability of a sustainable ‘Site of the Future’, achieving 97 per cent diesel-free operation in support of a major rail renewal
project at Llanwern, South Wales. The joint Network Rail and Colas Rail initiative used solar and battery technologies from Prolectric Ltd instead of diesel generators to save 6,000 litres of fuel, and more than 15 tonnes of CO2 during a 14-day project centred around a 72-hour possession over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. The results are being viewed as a significant achievement that marks an environmental milestone towards clean, carbon-free off-grid working, in support of Network Rail’s target to reduce non-traction energy consumption by almost 20 per cent and carbon emissions by 25 per cent by 2024. Network Rail contracts In 2019 Colas Rail UK secured three major contracts with Network Rail, a Rail Systems Alliance contract, a Signalling and Telecoms Framework contract and a Rail Haulage contract. The first of these contracts involves the Rail Systems Alliance in the South. It was awarded to Colas Rail and AECOM to deliver rail system works including track renewals, signalling, electrification and civils works for the South of England worth an estimated £1.5 billion. The ten-year contract spans Control Periods 6 (2019-2024) creating an alliance between Network Rail, Colas Rail (installer) and AECOM (designer) covering the Anglia, South East, Wessex, Western and Wales routes. The second contract awarded to Colas Rail covers signalling and telecoms (S&T) frameworks for the western region, worth an estimated £75 million for Control Period 6, including stand-alone level crossing renewals, life extension works, telecoms renewals and related civil engineering works. Colas Rail will be involved from design to construction, testing and commissioning of signalling and telecoms works. Network Rail has also awarded Lot 1 and Lot 5 of the rail haulage and seasonal service contract to Colas Rail worth an estimated £12 million per year. Colas Rail will deliver haulage for bulk ballast and will be operating the snow and ice treatment trains. New tamping machines In 2019 Colas Rail welcomed four brand new Unimat 09-4X4/4S Dynamic Tamper Machines to its plant fleet. The purchase of these new machines allows Rail Services to support Rail
Page 124 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
Infrastructure in achieving higher hand-back speeds following track renewal works and saving time and money for its clients. The new machines boast quite a few impressive features some of which are listed below: • Continuous action tamping for plain line track and turnouts • Continuous treatment of turnouts using three rail lifting and four rail tamping • Four independent tamping units with a total of 16 tamping tines • Integrated track stabilising unit (DTS) • The outer tamping units on each side are positioned on telescopic jibs and can be extended for tamping the fourth rail • Lifting and lining unit with hooks and roller clamps • Smart ALC Automatic Guiding Computer • DRP-8 Channel recorder A conventional machine would need to stop and start as it ‘tamps’ the track; this machine however maintains constant movement. The tamping banks are in effect separate from the machine (Satellite system) itself making it more efficient and able to carry out tamping while the machine is still moving. Traditionally relay teams go in and re-lay the track, followed by tamper works, the track will be handed back to traffic at a reduced speed, during this time a train will slow down when it gets to that section of track as a speed restriction would have been put in place. After a few days a tamper will go back in to compact the ballast to bring the track up to line speed. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the machine, the integrated Dynamic Track Stabilising system (DTS) at the back of the machine can now treat the track with a downward pressure equivalent to one hundred freight trains. Compacting the ballast and allowing for hand-back at line speed.

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
T
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. 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 five-year ‘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 in-field 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. Intermodal In April 2019 DB Cargo UK announced a major new agreement with road haulier Maritime Transport Ltd which saw two of the UK’s largest freight operators combine their expertise to increase railfreight capacity and competition in the intermodal market. Under the terms of the proposed agreement: • DB Cargo UK was contracted to run Maritime Intermodal’s rail operations out of Felixstowe and Southampton • Maritime Intermodal took on responsibility for DB Cargo UK’s
terminals in Trafford Park, Manchester and Wakefield in West Yorkshire, thus strengthening the road haulier’s national network of strategic hubs • Maritime Intermodal took responsibility for DB Cargo UK’s existing intermodal customers on its Felixstowe and Southampton services Two new Maritime Intermodal services have been launched between London gateway and Trafford Park in Manchester. Track infrastructure renewals In August 2019, DB Cargo UK started work on a multi-million programme of investment to improve track and rail infrastructure at three key sites. The UK’s largest rail freight operator is replacing more than 20 kilometres of track at its depots at Immingham in North Lincolnshire, Rotherham in South Yorkshire and Toton in Nottinghamshire. The investment will further improve the safety and reliability of services.

Freightliner Group Freightliner is an intermodal and bulk haulage rail freight company operating in the UK and Continental Europe
F
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. New services In November 2019, Freightliner commenced its new bulk rail-haulage service for Mendip Rail Ltd. a joint venture between Hanson Aggregates and Aggregate Industries. Under the new contract, Freightliner hauls in excess of eight million tons per year of aggregate to terminals in London and the Southeast of England from quarries in Northern Somerset. Freightliner CEO Gary Long said: ‘By adding one of the largest bulk haulage contracts in the UK, we are also adding to the foundation of our long-term bulk business as we have successfully replaced traffic losses caused by the collapse of the UK coal industry in 2015.’ Freightliner has also recently
commenced a new contract with Tarmac hauling aggregate from Tarmac’s Tunstead site in Derbyshire as well as their West Country quarries, including deliveries from Wales, Somerset, and Herefordshire. 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. Keeping the country running during the pandemic With flexibility and resilience built into its operations, Freightliner has quickly established business continuity procedures to ensure it has been able to continue operations as a critical infrastructure and bulk freight supplier during the coronavirus crisis. Despite the COVID-19 challenges, which have seen a significant reduction in intermodal and bulk freight volumes across the UK, Freightliner has continued to haul much needed supplies and materials to keep the country running. Throughout lockdown, Freightliner has continued to haul aggregate to terminals in London and the Southeast of England from quarries owned by Hanson and AI in the Mendips, Northern Somerset to ensure vital construction projects can continue in London and the South East.
‘I am delighted with how well the contract with Freightliner is progressing and, in particular, the professionalism, flexibility and resilience demonstrated by their bulk haulage team in keeping vital construction materials moving during these challenging times’ said Mendip Rail’s Director, Jason Black. Additionally, Freightliner operates three trains a day on behalf of customer, SUEZ, moving around 1,500 tonnes of domestic waste from the streets of Manchester to the energy-from-waste (EfW) plant in Runcorn where it is recycled into high quality raw materials and renewable energy. ‘Everyone in the waste industry is working hard to make sure we are able to maintain essential services for residents across the country during these extremely challenging circumstances’ said Communications and Partnership Manager, Recycling and Recovery UK, Mike Nuttall. ‘Freightliner is one of SUEZ’s key partners in the north west, and they are a vital link in the management and transportation of domestic waste in Greater Manchester. We rely on the Freightliner team every day to move tons of material from our waste handling and processing facilities across the region to the energy from waste plant in Runcorn, ensuring we are able to maintain the provision of key services to communities and local authorities across Greater Manchester.’ Key Personnel Chief Financial Officer: Patrick Taylor Chief Commercial Officer: Emma Dempsey Contact Information Address: 3rd Floor, 90 Whitfield Street, London W1T 4EZ Tel: 03330 169545 Email: info@gwrr.co.uk Visit: www.freightliner.co.uk

Women in Rail The membership of Women in Rail currently includes representatives from a wide range of undertakings and stakeholders across the UK rail industry
W
omen in Rail was created to improve diversity in the UK rail industry through providing networking opportunities and support for all women within the sector, encourage undertakings and stakeholders to adopt diversity as a business strategy and devising initiatives aimed at positioning rail as an attractive career choice for young people. There are roughly around 85,000 people working in the rail industry, but only 14,000 of these are female. This ratio of around one in six decreases further when it comes to certain jobs such as train drivers or engineers. Despite individual measures already being taken by rail companies to foster a more inclusive culture, the industry must, now more than ever, work together to foster the talent we need. 2021 Mentoring Programme The 2021 Mentoring Programme will take to a renewed virtual platform. The essence of mentoring is a human connection and retaining that relationship in times of crisis is crucial to help navigate increased stress due to the global pandemic but also to eradicate any feelings of isolation that may result from remote working. The core focus of the programme during lockdown is keeping the mentoring network engaged, help mentors and mentees stay connected with colleagues and retain a sense of community whilst at the same time continuing to share knowledge and access the personal and career development benefits that comes from learning from each other. In January 2020, Women in Rail also reached out to the 140 companies who have signed the joint WR/RIA EDI Charter, outlining the steps they may take to support their pledges and promote EDI within their own workforce.
train of thought to support them during a very uncertain time. Never Mind the Gap Never Mind the Gap is an initiative designed to attract more women to the railway industry. Never Mind the Gap targets women who are not in employment, either as a result of a career break (i.e. moving on from caring), redundancy or otherwise and who may not previously have considered a career in our sector. Through this initiative, women are offered free training and twoweek work placements in a rail company, gaining direct experience of what it is like to work in the railway. SWIFT SWIFT is a network of senior women in (or formerly in) UK rail and transport and their male allies whose purpose is to offer a peer-topeer network to senior executives in UK rail and support high potential women progress their career and transition to more senior roles. The keynote speakers at the launch (sponsored by PWC) were Keith Williams and Lillian Greenwood MP.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Charter This Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Charter reflects the commitment of the UK railway sector, and more precisely, the Railway Industry Association, Women in Rail and signatory companies, to champion equality, diversity and inclusion in the rail industry and to work together to build a more balanced and fair and high performing sector. Signatory companies recognise that an inclusive workforce is good for business. It brings diversity of thought, innovation, and a positive workforce culture as well as improved customer relationships. Diversity and inclusion are also increasingly important to rail clients and investors. Signatory companies support social mobility and are committed to creating equal opportunities for everyone. They recognise the role our industry can play in creating opportunities and unlocking talent. They understand that embedding an inclusive culture within their own organisations, and collectively within the UK railway industry, is crucial to unlocking the potential a diverse workforce can offer.

he ethos of CryoGen’s board is to challenge the traditional industrial services landscape by providing additional value at every opportunity. This is facilitated by the business’ unparalleled expertise and knowledge, high levels of responsiveness and industry-leading mobility rates, plus its commitment to the uppermost health and safety standards. The company’s year-onyear triple digit growth is testament to the quality of its solutions and how it nurtures the strength and longevity of its client relationships. Tailored services for the rail sector Privately owned, CryoGen acts as a trusted advisor and services partner to a wide range of blue-chip customers that work across multiple sectors, including power, oil and gas, petrochemical, construction, and transport. It has assembled a team of experts with direct experience of the transport sector and therefore the business possesses a strong understanding of the challenges currently being faced by rail operators, as well as their suppliers and partners. CryoGen’s product portfolio for the rail sector includes: • Specialist dust-free surface preparation technology • Corrosion protective coating systems • Cleaning of rolling stock utilsiing pioneering dry ice blasting • Graffiti removal and application of anti-graffiti systems
• No secondary media entrapment. • Requires no drying time • Guarantees increased operator safety A closer look at dry ice cleaning • IMPACT – Using compressed air, manufactured pellets or shavings of dry ice are accelerated at high velocity directly onto the contaminated substrate. The resulting force and impact fractures or weakens the contaminant. • COLD – On contact, due to the low temperature of dry ice, an instant thermal differential between the substrate and the contaminant causes the contaminant to shrink and thus, further weakening its adherence. • EXPANSION – On impact, the dry ice instantly sublimates back to its natural state, increasing in volume over 700 times its original size, and forces (lifts and blasts) the contaminant away, leaving the substrate in a contaminant free condition. Surface preparation for the rail sector CryoGen offers a comprehensive range of highly effective dust-free surface preparation solutions, which are perfect for any specialist rail cleaning or protective coating project – regardless of size, environment and location.
When it comes to the cleaning and asset maintenance of rolling stock, CryoGen can offer rail operators a comprehensive contracting solution via a strategic partnership with Cold Jet, the global leader in dry ice blasting. This state-of-the-art process – which is the most advanced in the UK – is a nonabrasive, non-conductive, chemical-free and solvent-free solution, providing substantial cost savings via the following benefits:
Page 132 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
This includes: • Dry ice • Vapour blasting • Glass or plastic beads • Sponge blasting • Ultra-high-pressure jetting When using dry ice for surface preparation that requires an anchor profile, it is often accompanied by a secondary blast media, which is deployed using a mixed media blasting machine. CryoGen’s team will always consider what will work best in different scenarios, as well as the option that achieves the best value for money. For instance, did you know that Mixed media will utilise 75 per cent less abrasive media than conventional blasting methods, whilst also allowing for an easier ‘clean up’ and a reduction in man-hours? Industrial coatings The organisation’s market-leading industrial coatings provide both the resilience and the visual appeal for every kind of railroad project.

Why choose Huck Fasteners? ®
Fasteners are an important engineering component; product reliability is key
H
uck fasteners are used in many tough engineering applications, although their function is simple – to hold components together – there are a wide variety of designs and sizes available. These fasteners have been designed to cope with extreme stress and vibration, providing strength and facilitating lighter, stronger, more durable structures. Huck Fasteners are commonly used in railcars, railway tracks, rolling stock, aerospace, truck suspensions and chassis, bridge construction, heavy defense vehicles and mining/quarrying applications. In fact, anywhere that fastener failure is not an option. Engineered for easy installation, and long, reliable life Direct-tension HuckBolt’s and structural blind fasteners can often be a faster, more cost efficient, and safer alternative to traditional processes. Fasteners are an important engineering component; therefore, product reliability is key. Due to the complex working environment, traditional bolted joints often experience self-loosening (gradual loss of preload) over their working life, which can cause a decrease in the structures strength and loss of joint integrity. The key difference between HuckBolts and conventional fastener installations is found in the structure of the threads of each of the fastening systems. Instead of the deep threads required to achieve a tolerance fit between conventional nuts and bolts, the
HuckBolt pin requires only shallow locking grooves into which the collar is swaged. The shallow design of the locking grooves allows for a much larger pin root radius, which contributes significantly to the fatigue strength – up to five times that of a conventional nut and bolt. Alternatives to welding For years, welding was seen as the only way to ensure the integrity of joints in demanding load-bearing or high-vibration structures. Today there are alternatives to welding, the direct-tension, swaged Huck BobTail® Lockbolt is a uniquely engineered fastener. It is a two-part fastening system that consists of a pin and a collar. This enables the structure to be easily preassembled by hand allowing for additional alterations and checks. The fastener is then installed using a direct tension technique, in which the pin is pulled and the collar is simultaneously swaged into the locking grooves of the pin, deforming the collar into the grooves and swaging the material forward. This action develops the high clamp force. The Huck BobTail has been designed to provide superior joining strength and offers fast, secure and simple installation. Even taking into consideration the need to drill holes, installing a Lockbolt is significantly faster than welding a joint and a quick visual inspection is all that is required to confirm the accuracy and quality of the installation.
HuckBolt’s can be effectively used with virtually any metal, and disparate metals with dissimilar coefficients of thermal expansion present no problems. Varying piece sizes in a joint are readily accommodated, and surface finishes are not harmed. Most importantly, HuckBolt’s are proven to hold up over years of service in demanding high-stress, high-vibration environments. Independently tested with third party approval The Huck BobTail 12,14,16, 20mm and oneinch diameters, after lengthy and vigorous independent testing, have gained the prestigious Allgemeine bauaufsichtliche Zulassungen (German national technical approval) from the world renowned DIBt (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik) for use in both static and dynamic applications in civil engineering. The approval concludes that retorque/re-tension of an installed Huck BobTail LockBolt is not possible and also not necessary, and connections do not require maintenance regarding preload. Joints fastened together by BobTail large diameter LockBolts, within the range specified, are maintenance free. Technical support that will add value to your project Star Fasteners have been a Huck fastener distributor for over thirty years and are the UK’s largest stockists. Star Fasteners work closely with their customers to understand their applications and suggest new products that they may not have initially considered for a project.

Their site personnel have experience with all aspects of the construction process from materials quality to workmanship, lining installation and testing. GZ’s extensive tunnel rehabilitation experience ensures that your rehabilitated tunnel will not only fulfil its intended purpose today, but will do so for its new extended life. Tunnels form an integral part of our infrastructure that we fundamentally rely on and expect to last for 100 years or more. In particular, older tunnels constructed many decades ago reaching back into the late 1800s exhibit deficiencies typically caused by adverse ground and ground water conditions that affect the tunnel linings which often lack waterproofing. Thus, many tunnels require repair to ensure continued intended use, be
it for rail, road or utility. With GZ’s extensive experience in design of new tunnels and tunnel refurbishment, we take a holistic approach to tunnel rehabilitation, not only determining the source of a tunnel’s deterioration, but providing our clients with engineered long-term solutions by applying state-of-the-art tunnel rehabilitation, waterproofing and strengthening techniques. GZ’s construction and programme management services cover the entire course of tunnel construction and refurbishment,
beginning with the planning phase and ending with the installation of tunnel systems. Their highly specialised construction managers and tunnel inspectors follow proven procedures, and provide critical interface coordination between project elements to ensure smooth project progress and a high-quality product.

Stakeholder surveys – five things you need to know A stakeholder survey invites an organisation’s stakeholders to share their opinions on where they believe the organisation is doing well and where improvements are most needed
T
he process typically involves both quantitative (an online survey) and qualitative (depth interviews) research techniques. The effective use of stakeholder surveys will not just improve stakeholder engagement but will help drive better business performance. Jungle Green has been conducting stakeholder surveys for the rail industry since the beginning of the millennium. There has been a sharp rise in enquiries about this activity over the last twelve months, suggesting that understanding what stakeholders think and feel about a TOC is of increasing interest and relevance. Jungle Green have recently carried out a qualitative research exercise with some of their longstanding clients and contacts to explore what they believe to be the most important aspects of conducting a stakeholder survey. Their contributions are summarised here as the five key things you need to know before embarking on a stakeholder survey. Five things you need to know about stakeholder surveys
Conscious undertaking Firstly, it must be a conscious undertaking. Ensure that you understand exactly why you are doing the survey and what you are going to do with the results. This does not mean that action based on the results will always be necessary but choosing not to act must still be a conscious decision. Rather than a passive reception of findings, ‘that’s what stakeholders currently think of us’, question the findings and ask ‘what does that mean for us and what do we need to do to fix that problem or build on that positivity?’ This point also has an impact on the time interval between surveys. There is a need to ensure that participants are not over-surveyed. Make sure that there is enough time to act on the findings before the next survey goes out. Stakeholders can otherwise become cynical about the true intention of the survey and will not wish to waste their time feeding back the same messages again and again. As one contributor to this article remarked: ‘Be ready to act on the findings, otherwise it risks being seen as lip service and eroding stakeholder trust.’
Hard truths The second thing to be aware of is that you will hear hard and uncomfortable truths at times, these can be some of the most valuable insights. This is best illustrated through the words of our contributors: ‘Don’t be afraid of criticism, it is the way as operators we get the opportunity to learn and grow, this should not be a vanity exercise.’ ‘It is a dose of reality. We should all be able to deal with that but sometimes it does mean some difficult conversations.’ ‘Consider how you and your business will handle or cope with negative feedback and what you will do about it. Do you have the buy in and support of your senior team to take action, if needed.’ ‘Stakeholders can be very blunt and honest via a trusted external research organisation. They know it is confidential and anonymous. Passing these truths on internally can also have more impact when they are contained in a commissioned research document.’ Cast your net widely The third piece of advice repeated several
Page 140 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
times in the qualitative research exercise for this article, centred on casting your net widely and wisely when embarking on a stakeholder survey. Many different stakeholder categories are relevant from rail user groups and friends of stations, through to community rail partnerships, business and local development related groups, chambers of commerce, the tourism sector, the education sector, MPs, the media, rail industry bodies, local/transport/combined authorities/PTEs. To seek the views of the complete spectrum of stakeholders that a TOC engages with will produce a full and varied picture. This will range from niggles at station level through to insights for planning engagement strategies and quite often adjustments to your wider business approach.
Consider how you and your business will handle or cope with negative feedback and what you will do about it.
Customer Engagement
Comparing and contrasting is key Stakeholders will answer between 15 and 20 questions on any one survey occasion. These will be a mix of rating scales and open-ended opinions on strengths, weaknesses and improvements. It is always a good idea to have a topical issues section that changes over time as issues arise e.g. the response to the pandemic. The subsequent analysis of responses, while useful by itself, is made all the more valuable when provided in the context of how the results compare and contrast with previous years, other TOCs and even other industries. Careful planning is key to ensure that the responses and ratings you are gathering are consistent and measurable over time, and comparable with other organisations. It bears fruit Finally, rest assured, conducting a stakeholder survey bears fruit. Here we return to the words of our contributors, individuals who have been carrying out stakeholder surveys with Jungle Green for many years. ‘The data helps us understand how to grow and develop. Gathering this level of information via a research exercise helps foster a better understanding of the knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, interests and experiences of the people we serve.’ ‘In particular this year, we have been able to validate the importance and high value of regular, meaningful communications with our stakeholders.’ ‘Collaboration was the buzz word this year.’ ‘Independent evaluations add enormous credibility and value. These surveys give us the opportunity to benchmark areas where Liverpool Lime Street station
Greater Anglia – New trains on test, Summer 2020
improvements can be made and review and check areas where satisfaction is high to retain that value and sentiment.’ ‘It consistently reinforces the value of personal, regular and consistent relationships with key stakeholders. It shows that where you listen to stakeholders and act on their feedback, they value that approach and will be greater advocates and supporters for your organisation.’ ‘We’ve found surveys tend to reaffirm some things we were already aware of, but they shed valuable light on ‘what next’’.
Summing up, a stakeholder survey generates useful pointers as to how you can improve not just stakeholder relations, but your wider business approach and, when things are going well, provides a helpful and reassuring endorsement. The time and effort required to prepare a high-quality stakeholder survey are very worthwhile. Don’t forget, don’t just do it, ACT ON IT. Jungle Green wishes you all long and happy relationships with your stakeholders and the best of luck with your stakeholder surveying.

Depots and Fleet Maintenance
Mechan carries on through Covid A can-do attitude at rail depot equipment specialist, Mechan, is helping to keep the industry on track during the coronavirus pandemic
T
he Sheffield manufacturer worked at full capacity throughout lockdown and continues to honour its service and delivery commitments, providing vital support to the facilities making trains available for key workers. In the six months from April to September this year, Mechan’s engineers completed 212 service visits to rail depots across the UK and beyond, with one member of the team spending four weeks in Egypt installing a bogie drop supplied to the Cairo Metro. Accomplishing this level of consistency has required considerable changes to the firm’s operational procedures. Site visits now follow strict social distancing and sanitisation rules, whilst those undertaken during the first period of lockdown had to be coordinated with the engineer that lived closest, as hotels were unavailable. This increased travel times, which impacted on the working day and in many cases, extended the job’s length. Lindsey Mills, Mechan’s Sales Manager, said: ‘If we had not continued to work during lockdown, depots may have been unable to maintain trains, leading to
potential complications replacing those not in service. Because we use local products and suppliers, wherever possible, we haven’t experienced any stock issues caused by the pandemic, enabling us to keep our in-house and partner products running without unnecessary downtime. This is critical to the levels of continuity we achieve and continues to be appreciated by our clients.’ Covid-19 has not only impacted onsite teams, but also Mechan’s head office. The majority of staff have worked from home since late-March, helping the firm become less paper dependent and changes have been made in its factory to facilitate social distang, with commissions now being completed by the same operative from start to finish. Collaboration at Clacton One of the projects Mechan has played a key role in during the pandemic is the transformation of the train lifting facility at Greater Anglia’s Clacton depot. The firm joined forces with other equipment suppliers to prepare the depot for a new fleet of Stadler bi-mode trains, being introduced on regional routes in
Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. This required the entire train lifting facility to be redeveloped – the biggest project undertaken at the site in years. As the Stadler fleet is heavier and longer than its predecessors, additional jacks were needed to increase the capacity of the existing system. Mechan was approached to provide four new 18-tonne jacks to work alongside an original set of 16 supplied by another manufacturer. The extra jacks and increased weight of the trains meant the entire floor (the length of four carriages) had to be levelled and strengthened to meet tolerance requirements. The firm’s standard jack motor and gearbox were modified for Clacton, to ensure the four units had the same lift speed as its current set. A castor wheelbase was also added so they could be moved around the depot. The original jack supplier then integrated Mechan’s equipment into its new control system and the two companies worked together to ensure a smooth, synchronised lift. Lindsey added: ‘The team at Clacton was very happy with the result of this collaboration, which is now enabling the new train fleet to be maintained safely and efficiently. We were pleased to be able to deliver such an involved project in a timely manner, despite the challenging conditions and enable the depot to continue improving the service offered to passengers in the region.’ For more information about Mechan’s servicing capabilities and depot maintenance equipment, get in touch with them via the information below.

DRB can provide a turnkey solution to any rail dependent challenge, as well as provide new innovative ideas and designs to improve your efficiencies.
Railway depot and workshop equipment DRB design, manufacture and install a wide range of workshop and depot systems to assist their customers in improving efficiencies and safety practises. Some of their previous works have included: • Wheel Removal Drop-Rig – DRB designed, manufactured, and commissioned a fully bespoke solution for their customer to remove train wheels quickly and safely from their axles. It was important that the process didn’t cause any damage and needed to eliminate human intervention during the procedure. The result improved the customer’s efficiency by 87 per cent, reduced maintenance costs, and improved their safety practices.
• Train Lifting Jacks – this was designed as a bespoke concept for their customer to assist with practicality, mobility, and multi-functionality. The jacking system was designed by DRB to lift the drive axle of the train from the track to free the drive wheels. This then enabled their customer’s engineers to conduct the necessary motor maintenance inspections and tests. This equipment is still used by their customer on a daily basis.

verhead Line Engineering Limited undertakes projects ranging in size from a few thousand pounds to several hundred thousand pounds and from initial feasibility to entry in to service. OLE Limited has a developed a broad client base which includes principal and specialist contractors along with design organisations and provides a broad range of overhead line engineering support services covering the whole lifecycle from project inception, through design, construction and commissioning and equipment upgrades and renewal. OLE Limited work with a group specialist engineering suppliers covering Civil engineering, EMC, structure design, track design, signalling design and signal sighting. This established supply chain enables the provision of design packages to Clients which have the interfaces with all relevant engineering disciplines managed through the IDC process.
A logical development has been to work with our supply chain to provide multidisciplinary design. A number of projects have been successfully delivered using this approach and it is an increasingly important strand of the service offering. Engineering excellence OLE Limited’s team of engineers and technicians have experience in all types of overhead lines installed in the UK from the ex-DC systems dating from the 1930s right up to the latest UKMS range. This breadth and depth of experience enables the production of design solutions for any project. A cornerstone of OLE Limited’s design approach is to utilise value engineering techniques to minimise the amount of work required whilst achieving the client remit and full compliance to Standards. The approach results in reduced whole life costs, reducing both initial costs through reduced
Page 148 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
work required and operational costs with less infrastructure to maintain and ultimately renew. Projects OLE Limited is supporting SPL Powerlines Group on the Midland Main Line Electrification projects. A range of services is provided including, multidisciplinary outline design, detailed design, staged isolation documentation along with engineering staff. A regular client is the Spencer Group, for whom OLE has produced design for a range of projects including modifications to ECML depots for the introduction of IEP trains. A current project is Stevenage Turnback. The increased traffic on the ECML resulted in insufficient capacity for Hertford Loop trains to run on the ECML. The project provides a single bidirectional line which allows Hertford Loop services to terminate at Stevenage without conflicting with the ECML.

OLE Limited designed further examples of its innovative headspan to portal conversion. This provides a low cost solution to install a boom on existing headspan masts and foundations in order to provide mechanical independence and so eliminating the Achilles heel of headspan structures The conversion to a portal allows the OLE for each line to be mechanically independent from the OLE on other lines which leads to a huge increase in system reliability as defects on one line are not cascaded to adjacent lines. It also vastly simplifies future adjustment to the OLE as each line can be worked on independently. OLE Limited has a longstanding relationship with Furrer+Frey, commencing in 2008 with the GE OLE Renewals project and continuing in to the future with the refurbishment of the OLE on the Thameside routes. Future Expansion With established offices in Derby and Milton Keynes and a diverse range of clients across the rail industry, OLE Limited is well placed to support a wide range of rail projects. It is expected that both offices will expand over
OLE
the next two years, as the CP6 work bank comes to market. As Network Rail brings more work in house, we have contracted direct with Network Rail in two Routes and seek to form relationships with the remaining Routes. OLE Limited believe that there is a bright future for rail electrification in the UK, if the challenge of value for money can be achieved. A significant factor is the production of highly accurate design to programme and this is the service that OLE Limited provides.
Accreditation OLE Limited has recently completed the transition to ISO 9001:2015 with the successful completion of a recertification audit of our Business Management System. OLE Limited hold RISQS accreditation to all codes relevant to OLE design. Tel: 01332 342122 Email: Contact@OLE-Limited.co.uk Visit: www.OLE-Limited.co.uk

ith over 3,500 part numbers, Gaia Converter offers all the necessary building blocks to help you realize your complete power supply architecture. Strongly focused on the transportation, industrial, and aerospace and defense markets, Gaia Converter’s COTS products will be the perfect solution for your power needs ranging from 4W to 350. Railway transportation power supplies have been subjected to stringent requirements including transient, energetic spikes and hold up specifications. Traditionally a majority of these power
supplies have been developed specifically with discrete components. The complexity of the railway industry lies in the lack of a universal DC input bus such as the standard 28V in avionics or the 48V in telecom. Each country defines its own input bus voltage, ranging from 24Vdc to 110Vdc. The EN50155 standard defines all possible values, including minimum (0.6x Vnom.) and maximum (1.4x Vnom.) limit voltages. With these parameters, a system
designed to work in any country would require an input voltage range between 14.4V and 154V to ensure interoperability between countries. Such a wide input range requires a permanent 10:1 input voltage ratio which is beyond the capability of most DC/DC converters on the market. Since the mid 90s with the introduction of
modular systems, the use of standard DC/ DC modules have gained importance. The standard input voltages in rail applications are 72 VDC or 110 VDC as in signaling applications. The 24 VDC is a variation described in the widely used EN50155 standard. Fast and energetic spikes are of primarily importance and need to be handled with sufficient protections. The power requirements generally range from 4W up to 200W per board. However, improvements in
Page 150 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
semiconductor performance over the last few decades, combined with new converter architectures, allowed us to introduce a new generation of DC/DCs that provide smarter solutions to address these issues. The GAIA Converter MGDDI series have been specifically designed with a 12-160V input voltage range to comply with the extreme voltage limits and remove the need for a voltage limiter. With such a wide input range, the same converter can operate on all EN50155 batteries, immediately simplifying configuration management. A second benefit being with only a single part number required, the quantities ordered are doubled, allowing a further reduction in purchasing costs. Gaïa Converter has participated in major railway programs such as the TGV for Alstom, the ICE2 for Siemens, the Lisbon subway, in addition to being present on the ERTMS and the TPWS. To cope with the rail requirements, Gaia Converter proposes typical off-the-shelf modular power architecture. Whatever your power system needs, Gaia Converter has a modular architecture using standard products to provide an instant solution to a wide range of applications from on-board electronics up to protection, signaling or trackside equipment.

Expertise and innovation in bearings and condition monitoring Schaeffler has more than one hundred years of experience in the rail industry, with applications including axlebox bearings and housings; bearings and components for traction motors and gearboxes; railcar connectors; tilting technology; and bearings for train doors
M
anufacturers of rail vehicles, as well as rail operators and passengers, all expect the highest level of reliability and operational safety in every type of rail vehicle – from trams to high speed passenger trains. In light rail vehicles, for example, the focus is on low-floor designs and multiple-section designs. The running gear, bogies and components must therefore be extremely compact and reliable, as these systems are safety-critical. Schaeffler offer a wide range of rolling bearings for axleboxes that meet all of these demanding requirements. Axlebox bearings are subject to extreme loads at the interface between the wheelsets and the bogie frame and so must meet various technical requirements. If the rolling bearing components are tested according to EN 12080, including ultrasonic testing of the inner and outer rings, they comply with the highest quality class and are labelled with ‘Class 1’. At Schaeffler, compliance with EN 12082 is verified on special axlebox bearing test rigs. Tapered roller bearings and TAROL units Tapered roller bearings are used in the axlebox bearing supports of all types of rail vehicles: Two single-row tapered roller bearings as a bearing set. One double-row tapered roller bearing as a ready-to-mount unit (TAROL unit). Ready-tomount TAROL units (Tapered Roller Bearing Unit) have an integrated seal, are greased and the clearance is adjusted during assembly. TAROL units are available in either metric or imperial dimensions and are supplied with all the necessary retaining elements and fittings. They are mounted on the axle journal using a hydraulic press. Schaeffler also provide customer-specific components, spare parts and housing adapters on request. Axlebox bearing housing and adapter The housing, which connects the bogie frame to the wheelset, must safely transfer loads. The design depends on how the forces
for use on TAROL bearings and detects speeds up to 2,500rpm, the direction of rotation and bearing temperature. Two independent temperature sensors can be integrated for temperature measurement. Acceleration measurement in a radial and axial direction is available as an option. The sensors operate wear-free and meet requirements for increased EMC and excess voltage protection.
are introduced into the housing. The correct shape ensures optimum distribution of pressure in the rolling bearing so that the specific load is reduced and stress peaks in the load-bearing contact surfaces are avoided. The design of the housing is individually adapted to the adjacent construction. The optimum design is ensured by means of complex tests that are supported by FEM calculations. The finite element method describes not only complex geometries but also the complex progression of the force flow in the housing as realistically as possible. Axlebox bearing housings and adapters can be supplied made from spheroidal graphite cast iron, cast steel or cast light metal.
Cylindrical roller bearings for high radial loads For decades, cylindrical roller bearings have stood the test of time in supporting the wheelsets of rail vehicles. The bearings are particularly suitable for supporting high radial loads and normally have special internal designs and polyamide cages. As well as other axlebox bearings, cylindrical roller bearings support the normal axial loads and have a modified linear contact between the rollers and the raceway to prevent edge stresses. Cylindrical roller bearings in axlebox bearings are principally used in two main configurations: • Two single-row cylindrical roller bearings as a bearing set. • One double-row cylindrical roller bearing as a ready-to-mount unit.
Sensorised TAROL bearings Sensors have been successfully used for measuring operating data on axlebox bearings throughout the world for many years. Schaeffler’s sensor kit is optimised
Double-row cylindrical roller bearing units have an integrated seal, are greased and delivered ready to mount. The dimensioning is normally based on a calculated operating life of more than three million kilometres. Spherical roller bearings for harsh conditions Spherical roller bearings are used in axlebox bearings for locomotives and other rail vehicles. Schaeffler provides spherical roller bearings for wheelsets with fixed inner ring flange and solid brass or sheet steel cages, which means the bearings can withstand extremely harsh conditions. They contain two rows of symmetrical spherical rollers that freely adjust themselves in the concave raceway.

Bearings for door systems In rail passenger vehicles, door systems are complex sub-systems that are subject to high loads and stresses. Door components such as bearings therefore need to be reliable to ensure long maintenance intervals. Schaeffler offers a wide range of rotary and linear bearings for door systems that meet all of these high requirements. For passenger vehicles, manufacturers typically demand an operating life of more than 2.5 million operating cycles (opening and closing) for door systems, depending on the specific type of vehicle. The opening cycle often involves a swivelling outward motion and a linear opening motion of the wings of the door. The swivelling movements are safely carried out with maintenance-free spherical plain bearings and rod ends. In some applications, radial insert ball bearings with flanged housings are also used. Linear ball bearings or special track rollers support the linear motion. Linear ball bearings Linear movements in rail vehicle doors must be carried out reliably. Here, smooth running linear ball bearings from Schaeffler provide a long operating life and the option of adjusting the angle if required. Depending on the design, these bearings compensate for misalignment and due to their compact dimensions and low radial section height, require very little installation space. They are available with or without seals, as well as Schaeffler’s Corrotect® corrosion protection, depending on requirements.
Corrotect® corrosion protection further increases operating life. Plastic-covered outer rings can be supplied to reduce noise if required. When various track rollers are in use, the pressure on the mating track surface is considerably reduced by the special profile. Radial spherical plain bearings/rod ends Maintenance-free INA spherical plain bearings and rod ends with corrosion protection are often used in the bearing supports of doors in passenger rail cars. These can also be found in bulk freight wagons where severe contamination from dust and dirt occurs. Here, they are used as reliable, maintenance-free bearings for camlock shafts, tilting rods and shutters. Reconditioning services With increasingly complex operating demands and more strict safety standards in the rail industry, Schaeffler’s test facilities provide customers with complete peace of mind. As well as refurbishments/ reconditioning services, Schaeffler is able to conduct functional tests on complete
Track rollers, yoke- and stud-type track rollers In sliding wall wagons, for example, Schaeffler offers track rollers and yoke type track rollers as complete units consisting of outer rings, inner rings, ball and cage assemblies, and seals. Stud type track rollers have an inner ring that comprises a stud, with which the bearing is fixed to the adjacent construction. These products are characterised by their high load carrying capacity, efficient seals and long operating times. Page 154 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021

This breadth of experience allows the company to draw upon skills and equipment that may not normally be found in the rail infrastructure environment to deliver best value for their customers. For example, they drew extensively from each of their teams to deliver the slope stabilisation works at Hinkley Point C as part of the Kier BAM jv and similarly utilised a mix of techniques and equipment at Hooley Cutting to investigate and stabilise the lineside slopes. This allowed the company to subsequently install the geotechnical solution using soil nailing, meshing and sprayed concrete techniques. The projects which call for this integrated solution are in many ways the most satisfying to deliver as it allows BAM Ritchies to showcase all the
skills of their directly employed workforce while simultaneously delivering best value for their customers. Their Pre-Construction Managers are often the first point of contact on a project and therefore they set the standard for all future engagements and lay the foundation for building the trust between the parties. They each have in excess of 20 years operational and delivery experience and the key skill which they possess is the ability to clearly articulate the experience they hold and make it relevant to the unique challenge of an individual project. They form the bridge from those initial meetings with a customer, handover to the delivery teams and then finally complete the project experience with face-to-face feedback sessions to identify lessons learnt and opportunities for improvement which can be brought to the next project.

Collaboration on all the projects is based upon trust, in some cases this has developed as part of a long-term relationship where they have repeat business and in others it’s through early dialogue with customers to build that relationship prior to a rail project commencing. In both cases having that mutual trust is where successful projects start. BAM Ritchies then build on that initial phase by engaging with and supporting their customers to help them achieve their goals by delivering safely, predictably and to budget. They are fortunate to be part of Royal BAM and this gives them access to considerable investment and experience in the digital space both in the infrastructure and commercial property spheres. This has allowed the company to be early adopters of technologies and systems that may not have been used in the infrastructure arena before and utilise or modify the methods to suit the industry. Internally, BAM Ritchies have a very experienced digital construction department who have drawn on this global experience and undertake training with their operational teams to ensure that digital construction is ‘built in’ not ‘bolt on’. This means that digital solutions developed by our pre-construction teams can be shared with the operation teams, augmented during delivery and finally handed over to the asset owner for use in both the operational phase and decommissioning of assets in the future. Digital construction started as the production of 3D model to allow projects to be more clearly visualised by both customers and delivery teams. Now, the models can be produced more quickly with a degree of automation and contain more information that can be altered or updated without requiring complete remodelling. This means that changes can be accommodated more easily, the cost is reduced and BAM Ritchies can therefore produce models for projects that are relatively small or short duration. The models are used to plan and sequence operations, ensure that the correct plant is selected, produce priced and resourced programmes, and monitor and demonstrate the impact of change. The company continue to use the models as part of their risk reduction and activity planning to identify future hazards and mitigation measures to reduce the potential for safety or quality incidents. Sustainability is much more than just environmental. As for any business they have an obligation to their employees and shareholders to ensure that we remain commercially sustainable so that they can grow and continue to invest in their people. However, looking to the future BAM Ritchies
also believe they have an obligation and desire to reduce their impact on the planet for future generations. By using lean working and investing in research and development they are reducing their reliance on fossil fuels and carbon intensive materials, while simultaneously minimising waste and use of virgin materials. Although the Covid-19 experience has been incredibly challenging for the industry it has presented the opportunity to identify new ways of remote working that were seemingly impossible pre-lockdown, and this has minimised time spent travelling and improved the wellbeing of the company’s people. As a business they are focused on People, Planet, Profit. They all

he drive on sustainability to reduce carbon emissions continues and this is a key factor in demonstrating best value. Sourcing the vast array of construction equipment for these schemes demands careful consideration of the capability and availability of specialist plant in addition to their environmental credentials. Long reach excavator specialists, WM Plant Hire with a full complement of machines ranging in size from 4 to 110 tonnes and the ability to reach an incredible 30 metres, have expanded their fleet in recent years. Their involvement in the rail sector for over 25 years in a wide range of projects has developed their expertise and allowed them to enhance their offering. Working on numerous high profile contracts including HS1, HS2, Crossrail and Hooley Cutting to name a few, have demonstrated that efficiencies can be achieved by selecting the right machine with an experienced operator regardless of the application. One example on Crossrail, while some may have been sceptical in the use of long reach machines for the deep excavation on the
new Tottenham Court Road station, where logistics demanded high outputs, the machine choice not only met their targets but exceeded them to give significant programme benefits. 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. The capability to offer the full range of 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 the most obvious safety feature 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. As one of the first to offer long reach excavators with the latest engines to meet Stage V and Tier 4 final emission
Page 160 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
requirements, WM Plant have shown their commitment across the fleet with the latest low emission technology. ‘Clients benefit from reduced fuel consumption and CO2 levels that are in line with the ambitious target set by Network Rail to reduce carbon emissions’ says Director Damian McGettrick. As a Chartered Civil Engineer and past Chairman of the ICE West Midlands region, he is most passionate about promoting good engineering practices and fully understands the needs of their customers. Earthworks and embankments Major earthworks around the UK have been using long reach machines for some time now, but new technology is enabling improvements to both safety and efficiency. Despite the challenges that 2020 has brought, the company have shown the real versatility in the use of the ‘long reach’ working with key Network Rail contractors to deliver soil nailing, slope stabilisation, embankment drainage and emergency repair schemes across the country. The technology has worked most successfully.
Geotechnical
Technology and innovation Working with Alun Griffiths at a scheme in Bargoed, Wales – the flagship CAT 390 long reach excavator with 30 metre reach was brought in to assist the installation of vertical drains. The excavation of drainage trenches and filling with carefully graded stone used cameras and LED lighting on the machine, which proved ideal for the night shifts. An electronic dig profile system allowed the operator to see the line and gradient of the trenches, avoiding the need for a banksman and Engineer on the slope. A current project with AMCO Giffen on the West Coast Mainline near Northampton is relying heavily on GPS technology and machine control for important earthworks. A 45 tonne long reach machine with a maximum reach of 22 metres is being used to reprofile the embankment and place stone walling blocks adjacent to the live railway. Fitted with a 3D GPS dig profile system to accurately excavate a series of steps and then place fill to the required slope gradient required has worked very well with the safe working managed through two different systems. Firstly an envelope control system to restrict the arm movement to a ‘virtual
wall’ and to stay within the safe working zone and the other a rated capacity indicator (RCI) for safely managing the lifting operations. Without these the works couldn’t be carried out safely.
Spider excavator cutting drainage trench on steep slope
Emergency response The East Grinstead line closed after the extreme weather from Storm Ciara on 12 February 2020 caused slippage on the embankment, near Cookspond Viaduct in Surrey. Since then, no fewer than five further sites have suffered landslips on the route and Network Rail have been working with contractor BAM Nuttall to repair the line. Having worked on many emergency projects and with the necessary resources, WM Plant were able to mobilise swiftly to
assist on several of these schemes, including the embankment stabilisation at Cookspond where a 30 tonne long reach with 18-metre reach was fitted with an innovative tilt hitch mechanism and compactor plate attachment for the angles needed on the reprofiling works. Where swift response was of the essence in getting the line reopened, their operators experience and ability to maximise machine output proved a real asset. Ensuring their customers benefit from new innovations is most important to this dynamic family business and as such they are continually investing in their fleet. Being specialist means a constant look at new ways to solve problems, whether that be access or location. Their latest 16 metre reach ‘Zero Tail Swing’ long reach machine and ‘Spider’ Excavator are two such examples, ideal for constrained sites or steep slopes where conventional machines may not be able to even access, let alone reach.

O
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. Radius working at Bank Station
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. Our industry leading project paperwork ensures a quick and pain free process of acceptance by the client and any involved stakeholders, saving unnecessary delays and repeat submissions. Thus giving you reassurance that the operation is in safe hands. Utilising cutting edge software and planning tools, technology is always at the forefront of Radius offerings. Since 2006 we have played a major part in the installation of fans and associated ancillary components of London Underground’s ‘Cooling the Tube Programme’. This has given Radius unequalled experience in the installation of
Tunnel Ventilation equipment in a rail environment. Radius can offer a full turnkey solution for the installation of the fan, attenuators, transition pieces, dampers and associated Radius escalator sledge in operation
components. This has included off-site warehousing, sequenced site delivery, offload servicing and on-site lifting of various types of plant and mechanical equipment.

ArmaFlex Rail – stay safe It’s a phrase synonymous with 2020, but ‘stay safe’ should always be at the forefront of railway vehicle design and maintenance no matter what year it is
S
ince the introduction of EN 455452 (Railway applications – Fire protection on railway vehicles Part 2: Requirements for fire behaviour of materials and components), to achieve the highest level of safety possible in the event of a fire all railway vehicles must meet the standard. This includes all manufacturers of railway vehicles, from high-speed trains through to industrial trains. When considering the insulation
material on refrigerant pipework and airducts in the vehicle, it’s important to specify a solution that can meet Hazard Level 2 according to EN 45545-2 for the protection of passengers and staff alike in the event of a fire. Built in protection when it’s needed Closed-cell insulation can offer a range of performance benefits, but understanding the difference between different types of
Page 164 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
closed-cell insulation can open up a multitude of performance and safety benefits. ArmaFlex Rail SD, from Armacell, is a highly flexible elastomeric foam that can be installed easily on refrigerant pipework and ducts, but unlike other types of elastomeric foam it offers a high resistance to water vapour diffusion, and reliable long-term protection against energy losses and condensation. But what truly sets it apart are its safety benefits.
Innovation
Developed specifically to meet EN 45545-2, ArmaFlex Rail SD offers very good fire properties and extremely low smoke density, achieving an excellent Euroclass Bs1 D0 rating for insulation tubes. The smoke development of Armaflex Rail SD is also up to 10 times lower than that of a standard elastomeric insulation product with self-extinguishing material that does not propagate fire or produce burning droplets.
When considering the insulation material on refrigerant pipework and air-ducts in the vehicle, it’s important to specify a solution that can meet Hazard Level 2 according to EN 45545-2 for the protection of passengers and staff alike in the event of a fire In addition, the closed-cell insulation material offers built-in antimicrobial Microban® technology, reducing mould and bacterial growth and protects pipes against energy losses and condensation. The only insulation of its kind to offer this antimicrobial technology, ArmaFlex Rail SD benefits from the additives being built into the product during the manufacturing process, meaning the protection does not wear off over time. Unlike traditional insulation materials, which need to be protected against moisture penetration by a separate vapour barrier, the resistance to water vapour diffusion is built up throughout the entire insulation thickness. This means increased reliability (the diffusion barriers of open-cell insulation materials usually consist of aluminium foils which can be easily damaged) but also leads to a substantial reduction in installation costs. Making installation simple The often-tight spaces and complex pipework can mean standard insulation materials are difficult to manoeuvre and fit into place. Elastomeric foam differs, as the synthetic rubber material is bendable and flexible to any application with minimum effort. What’s more, it remains flexible irrespective of the climate, so won’t become stiff and rigid in colder environments. The high flexibility of the material also allows simple installation even on complex-shaped fittings and equipment. Application times can be further reduced by using self-adhesive sheets. Armaflex Rail SD is available in different insulation thicknesses for a complete range of tubes, sheets, self-adhesive sheets and tape.

Private finance in UK Rail – some (tentative) predictions The year 2020 made a laughing stock of prognosticators across many fields, and rail is no exception
A
t this time last year, we assumed that 2020 would finally see the publication of the Williams Rail Review recommendations, and would certainly not have predicted that it would see the end of the franchise system entirely by September! Nevertheless, the new year is a time for looking forward, so at the risk of future embarrassment, here are some modest predictions for the role of private finance in the UK rail sector. Brexit News that the planned UK/EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (‘TCA’) will have zero tariffs will be welcomed by UK-based rolling stock manufacturers, and ROSCOs and funders looking to finance new rolling stock. The overall need for new trains will depend on many factors, but any reduction in potential costs and complexity is worth celebrating. This is particularly the case for existing transactions where manufacturers will need to manage their originally agreed acceptance schedules against new import formalities for trainsets and components. Financiers will also be relieved that the immediate effects of Brexit on rail regulation should be minimal. Technical standards, interoperability and safety rules in the UK should continue unchanged in the near term, with EU-issued licenses and safety certificates remaining valid in the UK until 31 January 2022. While the Government has suggested that its right to maintain a separate procurement regime ‘will provide businesses with additional opportunities’, we also expect that procurement law will remain the same in essentials. The UK’s accession to the WTO’s Government Procurement Agreement suggests this, as it is based on substantively the same coverage as the UK’s previous participation via the EU. There is scope for some regulatory divergence. For example, while the current EU Technical Specifications for Interoperability for rail projects (‘TSIs’) will be enshrined in the new UK National Technical Specification Notices (‘NTSNs’), the NTSNs may change in future without direct relation to the TSIs, allowing the UK
to tailor its standards for UK passengers and freight users. The most salient area of divergence may be in state aid rules, a point of hot debate in Brexit negotiations. The UK has retained the ability to establish its own state aid system, without dynamic alignment to EU rules, although this is subject to broad constraints in the TCA, and to a remedial process including economic measures and/ or arbitration. Rail investors will need to watch for slow separation of UK and EU regulation, especially in infrastructure projects involving government entities. Rail infrastructure investment We have seen the investment envelope of recent rolling stock financing deals expand to include depot refurbishments and wider infrastructure. Rail infrastructure may be increasingly a target for private investment, given the reduction in Network Rail’s infrastructure enhancement budget, and ambitious plans for development including the Midlands Rail Hub and Northern Powerhouse Rail. The Williams Rail Review may also encourage synergies between service operation and infrastructure management. This could result in rail operation procurement requirements including broad infrastructure upgrades, which will need to be financed. There is room for bold institutions to propose their preferred approach to financing and risk in the rail sector. This is likely to require dialogue with the new National Infrastructure Bank (‘NIB’), and industry participants will eagerly await details of its mandate, powers and management to see if it will be positioned to drive rail infrastructure investment forward. One of the NIB’s known priorities is to help achieve the UK’s ‘net-zero carbon’ goals. For many of our institutional clients, environmental, sustainability and governance issues form a key component of their long-term investment strategies. We expect increased focus on the green credentials of rail projects from inception, whether it be the introduction of hydrogenpowered rolling stock, the electrification of particular track sections, or the ability of
Page 166 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
new infrastructure to increase passenger and freight capacity (and remove vehicles from roads). There may also be pricing incentives to encourage investments in ‘greener’ infrastructure. The NIB is also intended to act as both lender and advisor to local authorities for regional infrastructure projects, which ties in to another likely Williams Rail Review recommendation. Given the potential focus on devolution, investors will hope (and should work to ensure) that there is consistency in the approach to structures and documentation across regions. A key question is that of funding. Given the pandemic-induced pressure on public budgets, and question marks over fare box revenue in many regions, we expect continued interest in alternative funding sources (such as capturing property value windfalls in proximity to successful transport links). Economic and demographic forecasts are likely to be difficult for some time, which is likely to lead investors to take a conservative approach to traffic and other risks. Indeed, many parties will be looking to reallocate risks that they have typically assumed. For example, manufacturers and contractors may have been stung by a failure of their force majeure clauses to respond to the pandemic’s effect on their supply chains; they may wish to bolster these protections, or reduce exposure to liquidated damages and default for any consequent delays. It seems unlikely that funders will assume any of this risk – will public bodies pick up the slack? Changes to insolvency law Another area of change in 2020 has been the UK’s insolvency laws, and this may impact standard rail contracts in 2021 and beyond. Where project companies are incorporated in England and Wales, they will have protection, in a range of insolvency and similar events, from the termination of contracts for the supply of goods and services. This could impede a contractor or manufacturer from terminating a supply contract if the project vehicle becomes insolvent, while the vehicle’s financiers are free to enforce their
Legal
loans. It could also affect the termination of rolling stock leases in the event of the operator’s insolvency. It remains to be seen whether parties will respond with ‘hair trigger’ termination rights, which could in turn lead funders to request more comprehensive direct agreements with contractors. Counterparties with a significant UK connection (such as major contractors or guarantors) may also be able to restructure their liabilities under project contracts through the new Restructuring Plan under Paul Carrington, Partner
Part 26A of the Companies Act. Subject to certain conditions, this procedure allows for the imposition of a compromise to which an entire class creditors has not agreed, where other classes have voted in favour of the plan (the so-called ‘cross-class cram down’). While many financial contracts are exempt from the procedure, the effect on project documents could have serious ramifications for rail investors. What next? If 2020 reminded us of anything, it’s that

no-one knows what the future holds. However the prevailing market trends suggest how private investment in the UK rail sector might look going forward, and we are optimistic about the industry’s prospects.

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. Positioned at an appropriate

sighting distance, the lookout uses a hand switch to give the required warnings to track workers. These warnings are transmitted through mobile radio warning units carried by each workgroup. Cancellation of the warning is also carried out manually. LOWS gives: • Protection at night or in poor visibility • Short notice access for mobile maintenance teams Signal Controlled Warning Systems (SCWS) Schweizer Electronic offers a permanent safety solution for sections of the railway using SCWS. Similar to the other group warning products in that it improves track access and maximises network availability whilst continuing to provide a safe working environment for personnel track side, giving reliable automatic warnings. This is achieved via signals received directly from the interlocking which are then used to calculate the appropriate warning tailored to line speed and site conditions. Our SCWS solutions are capable of working with SSI, RRI systems and can integrate with ETCS and ERTMS. Level crossings Manufactured using standard industrial components with Innovative LED optics and wheel sensor technology, our FLEX level crossing offers reliability and attractive lifecycle costs. Certified SIL3, FLEX uses a modular design to allow for lower costs across engineering, approvals and overall project.

Light Rail
The Kent & East Sussex Railway 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
T
his 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. The vision of the organisation is to preserve the line as living history…making memories that matter and the railway provides a number of experiences and products for a wide audience. The popular Wealden Pullman Dining trains offer six course evening meals and three course Sunday lunches and was the first on-train
dining experiences offered by any heritage railway in the UK when launched in 1974. The railway usually operates steam services at weekends and on some weekdays March to October with services increasing through the summer months, including some diesel services. Tickets should be pre-booked online in advance for peace of mind and additional dining packages are available on many of these services. During December the Railway operates the ever-popular Santa Specials for families, many of whom have been returning year after year. Customers of the railway bring back their children and grandchildren to experience the unique atmosphere and share the quality memories these days out provide for all. The Railway is a registered charity and one of the principle objectives is to provide educational opportunities leading to a greater understanding and appreciation of this key piece of British industrial history. This is achieved in a number of ways; recreating the unique style of country stations in the area to create an immersive environment upon arrival, visual

The Railway also include in their annual programme a number of events that centre around educating visitors; to name a few the popular 1940s early Summer event followed by school’s wartime evacuation days. September sees Hop-picking take centre stage for the month, celebrating the role the railway played in what was once a key part of the agricultural story of the south east of England. An additional suite of educational products that are very popular as gifts for friends and family are the Railway Experience Days and Behind the Scenes tours that the Railway offers. These packages include a locomotive cab ride, signalling on the railway, driving a steam or diesel locomotive and undertaking other important support roles. These experiences offer a unique and often hands-on way to find out what is involved in running a heritage railway to modern safety standards. Over the years, the volunteer team has been boosted by those participants who wish to continue to contribute in their own way and can get regularly involved in a diverse range of volunteering activities across the railway. The railway has a small, dedicated team of paid staff across the commercial, operations and engineering functions to support the passionate and driven volunteer workforce and a significant number of the volunteers have chosen over the years to pursue a career in the wider railway industry and have found the skills and knowledge that they have gained as volunteers to be invaluable to their employment and development prospects. One of the challenges in developing a modern railway professional is the everreducing amount of infrastructure that
permits easy demonstration of basic railway operational and engineering principles. Whilst modern systems incorporate evermore-advancing technology, there can be a disconnect in relating this to the basic principles. Based on the knowledge volunteers gain in their duties, the Kent & East Sussex Railway believe that it offers opportunities to gain underpinning knowledge for the next generation of Railway professionals and this is a key area of development for the business. Similarly, the heritage sector welcomes the experience and skills that established railway professionals can bring and are keen to recruit such individuals as volunteers. Likewise, there has been a long tradition of the railway hosting groups of staff from Rail businesses across the sector to provide an opportunity to refine and develop their
skills in the basics of operations and engineering. This type of collaboration has mutual benefits and is another facet that the Kent & East Sussex Railway are keen to continue and grow. The wider industry can also deliver on their corporate and social responsibility objectives offering donations and loans of resources and materials and providing expertise and goodwill, of significant benefit to their smaller historic counterparts. Needless to say, the effects of the Covid pandemic have severely restricted operations and opportunity to generate income in the past twelve months but the railway has a pioneering spirit and will weather the storm with the support of its stakeholders and is keen to develop the opportunities described in this article going forwards. The purpose of the Kent & East Sussex Railway is to preserve, restore and operate any part or parts of Britain’s first light railway extending from Robertsbridge in Sussex to Tenterden in Kent as a permanent public exhibition and museum for the advancement of technical, historical and general education and for the permanent preservation, display and demonstration of steam and other railway locomotives, rolling stock, equipment and relics of historical value.

On track for a superior finish Joseph Ash Galvanizing are a UK leader of steel finishing services and a proud supplier to the railway industry
F
ounded by Joseph Ash in 1857, their services include galvanizing, spin galvanizing, shot blasting, powder coating and duplex coatings. Joseph Ash Galvanizing have eight plants in the UK (in Bilston, Bridgend, Chesterfield, Corby, Hull, Medway, Telford and Walsall). As well as servicing the railway industry, they also provide steel finishing treatments for large construction companies and fabricators, fencing and agricultural specifiers, and metal sculpture artists. The position as a steel finishing UK leader stems not only from Joseph Ash Galvanizing’s industry-leading levels of customer service – which meet the most exacting requirements of customers and end users – but also from an ethos of outstanding technical knowledge and additional services which include: • Collection and delivery • On-site storage facilities • Passivation post galvanizing • A range of different bath sizes and lifting capabilities • Additional paperwork if requested • The ability to powder coat aluminium as well as steel With a number of different bath sizes at the various plants (including the largest crosssectional galvanizing bath in the UK at the Telford plant), everything from lighting columns to staircases, gantries to bridges, and structural sections to access support steelwork can be treated. Small specialist parts such as hinges, nuts and bolts can also be galvanized in the company’s spin line galvanizing baths. Joseph Ash Galvanizing also offer a onestop-service for shot blasting, galvanizing and
Hot Dip Galvanizing Hot dip galvanizing provides a long-life, low-maintenance corrosion protection which safeguards steel from atmospheric attack.

When it comes to corrosion protection, the dedicated workforce and large and modern HGV fleet enable them to provide the highest standards of galvanizing quality and service available. Sustainability Many suppliers to the railway industry use steel galvanized by Joseph Ash Galvanizing. When processing steel – for example gantries, station canopies, car parks, bridges, fencing, lineside cabinets, cantilevers and CCTV posts – the team works hard to protect the environment as well, through an ever-growing list of recycling activities with processes supported by an Environmental and Sustainability Policy. For example, the company supports waste minimisation through recycling and the recovery of zinc from the waste stream. They also operate within a framework of a self-imposed Environmental Management System based on internationally recognised standards.

Small items such as nuts, bolts, chains and screws need to be as rust resistant as the steel structures they support, however they are too small to galvanize in a hot dip galvanizing bath. With spin galvanizing, small items can be placed in a perforated basket and immersed into molten zinc. Once the zinc/alloy layers form, the basket is centrifuged at high speed so that the spinning action removes the excess zinc and creates a clean profile. Powder Coating Powder coating is a type of paint that is mainly applied to metals to provide a harder finish than a normal paint. The paint is applied as a powder electrostatically from a spray gun and is cured in an oven under a high heat to form a tough, durable skin. Powder coating paints come in many colours and can be used to create different finishes such as textured or metallic. Duplex Coatings Duplex coatings are a synergy of hot dip galvanizing and powder coating. Used independently, a galvanized coating and a powder coat provides a good level of protection for steel. However, as steel begins to age, the galvanized zinc coating erodes, making the steel more susceptible to weather damage. If, however, the steel has also been painted or powder coated, the synergistic effect acts as an extra barrier, which slows down the zinc erosion rate and provides a far superior level of protection to extend the life of steel.
On track for a superior finish
With eight strategically located plants and a large transport fleet, we offer technical expertise, premium quality, and a first-class service when galvanizing, shot blasting and powder coating steel for the UK’s railways.

Majorlift Hydraulic Engineering Majorlift Hydraulic Engineering are a Bristol based manufacturer of specialist lifting equipment
E
stablished in 1971, Majorlift have been designing and manufacturing their own range of machinery for use in automotive, aerospace and defence applications. Increasingly, they 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 accumulators, air conditioning fans, couplings and gearboxes, although they have the technology to lift up to 40 tonnes. The first application they were asked to supply was nearly 20 years ago for a Siemens depot in Manchester. The 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. The underbody lift would allow the whole engine to be supported while unbolted and then be lowered out of the way and slid out from under the carriage. After 20 years of hard work, the entire unit was removed and returned to Majorlift for refurbishment. In under a month, the whole unit was resealed, rebuilt and resprayed before being returned to site and recommissioned. Other applications have been for selfsupporting jacks, using a three-stage ram with a mounting plate that allows awkwardly shaped units to be secured and lowered safely, such as brake cylinders and couplings. The technology is well proven as they have been developed from Majorlift’s successful Vertical Transmission Jacks, used in automotive garages for removing gearboxes and transmissions from Heavy Goods Vehicles. Design and manufacture of all of Majorlift products happens in their factory just outside of Bristol. They used 3D Computer modelling to ensure that components are not over stressed and will be stable in use. Majorlift can also use the same software to model the underside of the rail vehicles and the pit to ensure they have the necessary space to carry out the work and to design mountings to fit the unit being serviced. The 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 the Page 182 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
company to rigorously control the quality of the products and the lead times to their customers. Majorlift have invested in a highly flexible manufacturing process that allows cost effective manufacture of small volumes of products. Examples include their robotic welding cell, built for them by ABB in the Czech Republic last year and their new spray bay, installed last Easter. By using a standard parts list for their products, customers share the benefits of volume manufacture on many of the components, even if the final assembly is a ‘one off’. In addition, they have often been able to standardise the fittings of the mounting plates so that a single base unit can complete several different servicing jobs. One recent, new product is a turnbuckle, used for securing the trailing arm on bogies being moved for servicing. These are in use in the GWR depot at Exeter. Majorlift products are in use all over the world and by such well known groups as the AA and the RAC, SKF bearings, Ryder group and Snap on. Majorlift are happy to brand for customers and most of their automotive product is sold through distributors in their own colours. Majorlift have built a business on a foundation of quality and customer service and would be happy to demonstrate these to you. Tel: 01454 299299 Email: Info@majorlift.com Visit: www.majorlift.com

Business growth prompts Totalkare relocation to accommodate larger product portfolio Totalkare’s investment in state-of-the-art facility is the latest phase in a five-year expansion plan that sees the introduction of a new IT as the company continues recruiting despite Covid-19 pandemic
O
n the back of several years of sustained growth, Totalkare relocated to a new, purpose-built facility on Monday 21 September 2020. The modern facility, located at Pensnett Trading Estate in Kingswinford, near Dudley, will enable Totalkare to optimise the workflow on the shop floor and increase capacity for holding stock of mobile column lifts, in-ground and mobile brake testers, headlamp testers, smoke meters, railway lifting jacks and other future products. The move comes at a time when Totalkare is also implementing a new ERP system expected to drive a lot of internal and external efficiency improvements for the business. Alongside these, a further investment in enhanced service management software is expected to further improve the company’s service capabilities. These developments signal the beginning of a five-year expansion that will see more than £750,000 invested into the business. ‘Following the introduction of testing products to our portfolio of heavy-duty workshop solutions, Totalkare has outgrown its current premises’ said Managing Director David Hall, whose two years in the business have overseen substantial growth. The last 18 months has seen Totalkare add brake testers (mobile and in-ground), headlamp testers, diesel smoke meters and galvanised mobile column lifts to its portfolio. Most recently, the company has introduced vehicle inspection pits to support
customers seeking a pit in addition to the purchase of an in-ground brake tester. ‘Moving to the new premises – approximate four times the size of our Halesowen site – is a necessary move to facilitate further development. The additional space gives us room into which we can expand, not just in terms of headcount but also product portfolio and shop floor processes. It enables us to build on our founding principles of customer care and being experts in our field – it’s an exciting moment for Totalkare.’ Pedigree This year marks the 40th anniversary of the company supplying its first mobile column lifts in the UK. Many of its clients have benefited from Totalkare column lifts for 40 years, including some of the biggest names in the bus and coach, commercial vehicle, heavy haulage and rail sectors. ‘Unfortunately, because of Covid-19 we’ve had to curtail some of the events we had planned to mark this major milestone, but we remain intent on celebrating next year when – hopefully – normality has been restored’ explained David. Social distancing Increased office space will also enable more staff to return to the office while observing proper social distancing rules. In addition to non-contact anti-bacterial hand gel dispensers installed at the new premises’ entrances, the business has also invested in
anti-viral fogging machines, forehead infrared thermometers and desk partitions are being extended with perspex dividers. ‘We’d introduced Microsoft Teams into the business in 2019, so were already set up to work in an agile capacity before lockdown happened in March’ said David. ‘But the absence of social interaction in an office environment can negatively impact on one’s mental health, so it’s important we get people back in – safely of course – as soon as we can. Where it is possible for staff to continue to work from home, they will be able to do so, but those coming into the office will be able to do so with the peace of mind that Totalkare has taken every step to ensure their safety.’ Recruitment drive While Totalkare has not been immune to the impact of Covid-19 this year, recent months has seen headcount increased with several key appointments aimed at further improving the way the business supports its customers. A product manager has been recruited to identify and source products to complement Totalkare’s portfolio of heavy duty lifting and testing products, while the business has also appointed a new sales manager following a restructuring of its sales team. ‘I’m proud to say that, while it hasn’t been easy, we’ve been able to navigate 2020 without making anyone redundant due to Covid-19’ said David. ‘Expanding and restructuring the sales team will enable us to give our customers more attention and respond swiftly to their needs, enhancing the excellent relationship we currently enjoy with them.’ Tel: 0121 585 2724 Visit: www.totalkare.co.uk

Innovative material solutions for rail The rail sector is a core business focus for TRB Lightweight Structures, but the company has also diversified into other markets, such as hybrid and electric vehicles, and medical devices, the lighter, more environmentally friendly materials developed for these sectors are now finding new applications in rolling stock
T
RB Lightweight Structures Ltd. (TRB), based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, is a leading tier 1 manufacturing and engineering company that offers a complete concept to delivery service using in-house production, engineering and laboratory testing facilities. The company has been working with train builders and operators for more than 40 years, designing and manufacturing a wide range of interior and exterior components – such as floors, partitions, galleys and storage units, driver cab doors, main passenger doors and emergency detrainment door systems – for both new build and refurbished rolling stock. Today, TRB enjoys a strong reputation as an International Railway Industry Standard (IRIS) approved supplier of engineered parts and complete systems to leading train builders worldwide, including Hitachi and Bombardier. The company – which was listed as one of the London Stock Exchange Group’s 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain 2020 – is also DIN 6701 certified, and is a Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) registered and approved GB rail supplier, working on major UK rail projects including Hitachi’s Class 800/801 high-speed train, West Midlands Railway, the London Victoria Line, and UK West Coast Main Line. One of TRB’s core strengths is its capacity to develop, test and validate innovative lightweight metal and composite materials, which can be supplied to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as either individual components or fully assembled, ready to install units. In recent years, the company has focused on developing new
lightweight products based on more environmentally friendly materials for use in the rail sector.
Page 186 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
New sustainable materials and capabilities The 2016 Paris Agreement to reduce CO2 emissions has resulted in numerous mergers, collaborations and major capital investments by the global transport industry to develop new hybrid and allelectric cars, buses, trams and trains. Transport companies have needed to rapidly rethink, redesign and retool in response to ever-tighter environmental legislation and growing socio-economic pressures for cleaner, less polluting passenger cars, vans, lorries and public transport.
Manufacturing
The use of lightweight advanced composites in the next generation of highperformance trains offers a number of lifecycle cost benefits, helping to make rolling stock lighter, faster, more energy efficient and cheaper to maintain. In recent years, TRB has made key investments at its Huntingdon facility – including the creation of an ISO 14644 standard 4,000 sq. ft clean room, along with a 3.0 x 1.5 m autoclave – to enable the manufacture of high quality prepreg composite components meeting the exacting needs of the rail industry. TRB’s ultimate strategic goal – which is central to its business ethos – is to help reduce transport emissions by offering OEMs low weight alternative solutions based on sustainable materials. This led to a number of innovations for the rail sector, including the development of an awardwinning* sandwich panel rail carriage door leaf. This lightweight and sustainable option combines biocomposite resin-based carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a foam core produced from one hundred per cent recycled plastic packaging. This novel design is 35 per cent lighter than an equivalent aluminium door, helping to reduce train energy consumption with no cost premium for switching to a more environmentally friendly material.
Advanced composites for the rail industry TRB’s design and materials processing capabilities now include a broad range of alternative lightweight composite materials for the rail sector – including modified epoxy glass prepreg, fire retardant foam cores and select thermoplastic materials – that comply with the latest and most stringent fire, smoke and toxicity guidelines detailed in EN 45545. The company’s main production facility in Huntingdon is also DIN 6701 (Parts 1-4) A1 type certified for the bonding of safety-critical rail vehicle parts. Switching to bonding where possible eliminates the need for many fixings – further reducing weight, while improving assembly productivity and reducing overall production costs – and this comprehensive certification allows the construction of bonded rail vehicle products under any of the four DIN 6701 A1-3 and Z type classifications. This
includes safety-critical products requiring A1 approval for applications where part failure during use risks endangering passengers, and TRB currently manufactures and supplies emergency detrainment door systems, driver cab doors and passenger exit doors.
Weight and cost-saving rail projects TRB works in close partnership with its rail customers to devise new designs that minimise weight, reduce maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) costs, and improve safety. This service covers a wide range of potential applications, with past projects including the development of a new lightweight composite antenna cover for Hitachi and Alstom Transport, and the reverse engineering of a stiffer and lighter coupler hatch for the West Coast Pendolino. In 2019, TRB collaborated with CAF to produce 17 new trains for West Midlands Railway. Each four-car train is designed to operate as either a standalone vehicle or be coupled with additional units to increase passenger capacity. CAF required a UK-based partner and approached TRB due to its expertise in composite materials and extensive history in the manufacture of high quality rail interiors. TRB designed and produced new gangway doors that could be used to section the cab off from passengers in driving mode, or to create additional corridor space allowing passengers to move between coupled trains. Each of the 136 carriage doors – four per cab, eight per train overall – is rigid, strong and lightweight, with an aluminium external skin and aluminium honeycomb core. This design meets all CAF’s cost, weight and regulatory specifications – including GM/RT 2100 Rev 5 regulations – and is impact tested to BS EN15152 standards to ensure the door meets the stringent safety requirements of the UK rail sector. Revolutionising rail refurbishment TRB also has extensive experience in the refurbishment of trains and carriages, providing high quality, lightweight solutions for doors, internal partitions, floors, toilet units and roofs. This expertise covers everything from assessment and reverse engineering of components to improving
maintenance efficiency, while reducing the overall cost of components. TRB’s comprehensive service offering comprises all manner of processes to ensure that refurbished products stand up to the demanding rail environments. This includes stripping down panels, replacing worn materials, fixing water ingress problems, filling dents, replacing handles and rubber trims, repainting and additional services to precisely meet customer needs.
Ready for future rail needs TRB has made major strategic investments to grow its capabilities, while also running continuous improvement programmes across the business to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and raise quality even higher. Over the last four years, the business has expanded by approximately ten per cent annually, adding around 4,000 sq. ft. of new factory space per annum. Looking forward, the TRB management team plans to make further strategic investments and establish additional partnerships with specialist technology providers that complement its capabilities. Richard Holland, Managing Director of TRB, explained: ‘We will continue to invest in product innovations and technologies to meet the needs of rail and other transport markets. By supplementing our extensive in-house engineering and production capabilities with strategic collaborations with business partners who can bring innovative, added value technologies, we aim to continuously improve our ability to offer customers end-to-end solutions, including more environmentally friendly materials.’ The clear aim is for TRB to continue to grow by focusing on providing its customers with complete solutions that meet their evolving needs, responding to the growing global socio-economic pressure for greener, more sustainable products.

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
P
ULS Power the specialist manufacturer of high reliability DIN-Rail power supplies provides a range of reliable, efficient and robust DIN-Rail 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. 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
Page 188 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
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 feature conformal coating. The two other approved DIN-Rail power

Network Railway Productions from Kingfisher Suppliers of book and DVD productions to the UK railway and heritage sector Kingfisher pride themselves in having many DVDs and books covering the whole spectrum of railways in Britain. Our long list of cab rides which cover most parts of England, Scotland and Wales now number over 70 programmes. Some are pictured here but the remainder are on our web site or within our catalogue available through the post. We were commissioned by Virgin Trains and the Railway Magazine to film the record run achievement when the non-stop charity special broke all records between Glasgow Central and London Euston. Filmed from every angle and the buildup to the day and use of Network Rail’s helicopter footage, the cab ride from the Pendolino became one of the highlights of the year. Many of our cab rides have been used for crew training purposes and Kingfisher can arrange these carefully with the TOC’s when required. One of our most popular recent DVD titles has been the ‘Story of the Oxford to Cambridge Railway’. This is a very timely production due to the route being treated as a strategic railway connecting East Anglia with central and southern England - East West Rail.
‘Ribblehead’ One of our popular books is the history of the Ribblehead area on the Settle-Carlisle line. The hardback book delves into the history and building of the railway, viaduct and Blea Moor Tunnel. The final chapters show the refurbishment works completed in the late 1980s and early 1990s which secured the line from closure. Many detailed photographs of the works completed on the piers and arches accompanied by text from the site engineer make this book a fascinating historical document. Hardback book, £18
A look back at heritage traction - ‘Blue
Pullman’ A tribute to the 1960-built Blue Pull-
man trains in the year that sees the introduction of a modern Blue Pullman by LSL at Crewe using an HST set. Three colour archive films show the trains being constructed and in service until their demise in 1973. DVD £14.95

privatisation. Sprinterisation, Sectorisation and Modernisation were the buzz words of 1990. The DVD examines Network South East two years after its inception; Scotrail with Class 37s and 47s very much in charge; Intercity services; Railfreight and the many loco-hauled services at the time using Class 20s, 31s, 45s, 47s, 56s in Scotland and much more. Included are diesel events in East Anglia and many loco-hauled specials.
1 hour 55 minutes duration £14.95
Our heritage titles include a series which examine in detail the history of a railway bring it up-to-date with the current operations and survey of its structures. Such titles include -
‘The Story of the Settle-Carlisle Railway’
which in its 90-minutes duration surveys the route all the way from Settle Junction to Carlisle stopping off at all the stations and main structures. Our best-selling guide book to the line is now in its fourth reprint.
Coming soon - A DVD programme about the rise of Arlington Fleet Services at Eastleigh. From the desolation of the Eastleigh Railway Works site in 2006, Arlington have gradually brought back railway engineering to the town.

Rail Delivery Group
Rail Delivery Group Born out of privatization, the Rail Delivery Group provides strategic and tactical services for the whole rail industry
I
n 1993 ATOC (Association of Train Operating Companies) was set up to bring together all train companies to preserve and enhance the benefits for passengers of Britain’s national rail network. In 2011, it was joined by the Rail Delivery Group and five years later, the two bodies merged to become one organisation, known as Rail Delivery Group. Overall goal RDG brings together all passenger and freight operators with Network Rail and HS2 to provide oversight of all activities delivered by the organisation on behalf of its members. It provides governance in relation to the voice for the railway as a whole and also for the railway as a whole but also for passenger and/or freight operators separately where necessary. Vision in action RDG sees Britain’s railway as one of the safest and most intensively used rail networks in the world. Its vision is of a system operated by a number of organisations with clearly defined roles that work closely together to deliver a successful railway for passengers, freight customers and the public. Passenger and freight services are provided by train companies who operate over infrastructure provided by Network Rail. These organisations collaboratively deliver the timetable and customer service. Through the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), they also develop strategies and plans to improve the railway.
The strategy element of this comes from the appropriately named Strategic Boards which bridge the gap between the RDG vision for the industry and how that vision is delivered by the industry. They have been formed to give line of sight, alignment, and joining up of activities for all the groups charted to them. They also provide a point of escalation that can determine between competing priorities and, if needed, can give direction to their charted groups.
Membership The train companies and infrastructure provider are serviced by a large and specialist supply chain who provide everything from new trains to signalling systems and catering services. Members of RDG and RSG also work with Rail Safety & Standards Board (RSSB). RSSB supports the industry to help them achieve their objectives – particularly in regard to efficiency and safety. RSSB is independent, works across the whole rail network and facilitates cross industry collaboration. The RDG membership comprises the passenger train operators and their owning groups, freight operators and Network Rail.

Railway Industry Association
Railway Industry Association The Railway Industry Association (RIA) is the voice of the UK rail supply community, helping to grow a sustainable, high-performing, railway supply industry, and to export UK rail expertise and products abroad
I
t promotes and represent its members’ interests to policy makers, clients and other stakeholders in the UK and overseas. RIA has 300+ companies in membership in a sector that contributes £36 billion in economic growth and £11 billion in tax revenue, whilst employing 600,000 people – more than the workforce of Birmingham. It is also a growing industry with the number of rail journeys expected to double over the next 25 years and freight set to grow significantly too. RIA’s membership is active across the whole of railway supply, covering a diverse range of products and services and including both multi-national companies and SMEs (60 per cent by number). RIA works to promote the importance of the rail system to UK plc, to help export UK expertise around the globe and to share best practice and innovation across the industry. Background The Railway Industry Association can claim to be almost as old as rail itself. In 1875, a number of independent steam locomotive builders grouped together to petition Parliament. They won their case and decided that it would be valuable to create a formal body for their mutual benefit. It was first known as the Locomotive Manufacturers Association of Great Britain and proved to be very effective in promoting its members’ interests, both at home and overseas, and in such areas as coordinating development of technical standards. Membership was widened to include manufacturers of all forms of rolling stock, including components suppliers, with a change of name to the Locomotive and Allied Manufacturers Association in 1957. Finally, the change to the Railway Industry Association was completed in 1971 with the inclusion of all parts of the railway supply industry. With the break-up and privatisation of British Rail in the 1990s, many of the resulting supply-side companies joined RIA as they moved into the private sector.
Membership Its membership is active across the whole range of railway supply – including infrastructure, rolling stock, signalling, and consultancy – and incorporates many skills and resources which were previously part of the national railway undertaking but which now operate commercially in the private sector. RIA members represent the greater part of the UK railway supply industry by turnover. Most large firms are members, as well as a wide range of smaller companies. Services RIA provides its members with extensive services, including the provision of technical, commercial and political information every week. It also represents the supply industry’s interests to the Government, Network Rail and others. As with most groups with large and diverse memberships, the main advantage of membership is the opportunity for dialogue and networking between members. RIA also has lobbies Government for sectoral growth and has a keen interest in promoting the UK around the world. It does this by exporting promotional activity through briefings and visits overseas as well as hosting inwards visits. It also organises a UK presence at exhibitions overseas.
Unlocking Innovation The Railway Industry Association’s (RIA) Unlocking Innovation programme is back in 2021, with another strong line-up of events planned throughout the year. The overarching theme for this year Unlocking Innovation’s programme will be Railway of the Future - to look at how innovation can help spur a recovery from Coronavirus in the short-term, and build a greener, passenger-focused and more reliable network in the long run. The full programme for the year includes: • Talks on Building Back Better at the Rail Innovation Exhibition with DfT, KTN and Innovate UK – 9-12 February 2021, Online • RIA’s Innovation Conference – 28-30 April 2021, Online • Whole System Innovation – 13-14 May 2021, Online • Data Driven Maintenance – 5-9 July 2021 • UI Knowledge Hub at Railtex/Infrarail 2021 – 7-9 September 2021 • Climate Change and Resilience – 11-15 October 2021 • CP6 Half-way Portfolio Review – 13-16 December 2021 Contact For more information, you can contact Gaynor Pates, Operations Director on 0207 201 0777 or at gaynor.pates@riagb.org.uk.

Providing quality, British made braking products From humble beginnings back in 1983 in Northampton, UK, EBC Brakes was established and initially based out of one of Northampton’s many, now defunct, shoe manufacturing buildings. EBC is proud to be a worldleader when it comes to technology, quality control, and product performance
Q
uality has always been the watchword for EBC Brakes. With eight dynamometer systems in its two factories, millions invested in research, and a 60-year pedigree of brake material blending, this company’s name is synonymous with excellence. EBC Brakes is an independently owned and managed manufacturer employing over 400 people across the UK and US, and produces the world’s largest range of brake pads and discs – indeed, over 5,000 part numbers are catalogued for every conceivable type of moving vehicle, with continuous research and development ensuring that this figure is always growing to suit consumer demand. The majority of EBC braking products are made in the UK, and the range extends from cars, bikes and trains to tanks, wind turbines, industrial machinery – wherever friction material is required, you’ll find EBC operating with class-leading efficiency. Similarly, pads are manufactured to all manner of formulations depending on consumer, industrial or military application: be it aramid brake pads, sintered, ceramic or carbon, any and every requirement is catered for. EBC strongly believes that safety products such as these need to be handcrafted to ensure maximum focus on unimpeachable quality, and this approach – combined with constant development and testing – results in an unbeatable and growing product range. Working in synthesis with these product values is European Friction Industries (EFI), the Bristol-based manufacturing arm of EBC Brakes, where all of the company’s pads are
made. EFI has been part of EBC since 2001, and has a history stretching back to 1986. From humble beginnings in a storage building at Bristol City Docks, the five-strong team acquired and prepared machinery for production of brake pads for the off-road market, rapidly upscaling to larger premises in Brislington as demand soared. By the
railway requirements: the E308 material is an asbestos-free pad rated up to 120 kph, offering superior braking while also extending disc life – these pads provide better disc life and cleaner operation than the equivalent metallic-based materials. The E349 is rated to 140 kph, again asbestos-free and containing no heavy metals or other
EBC Brakes World Headquarters Northampton, UK
1990s, the company was operating out of two large factory premises, branching out into areas such as trains, trucks and wind turbines, evolving into the largest independent friction manufacturer in the UK with a skilled workforce of over 200 employees. The partnership between EBC and EFI in 2001 made perfect sense, as the two operations share identical values of obsessive quality and attention to detail. When it comes to rail applications, EBC has been supplying braking components to the industry since the early 1990s. EFImanufactured products can today be found in use in many rail and rapid transit applications, including the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in London, the Tyne & Wear Metro, and light railways in Denver, Washington and Sacramento. The EBC/EFI product portfolio is impressively broad, catering From wind turbines to bicycle pads, and everything in-between, EBC Brakes for all manner of believe they have the largest range of brake pad designs in the world Page 200 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
materials known to be environmental hazards, and it’s this product which can be found in rail applications requiring frequent stops – rapid transit, underground and metro systems. EFI has developed the E400 material range to meet the specific criteria of UIC code 541-3, the materials will be suitable for use for use on high-speed intercity passenger coaches, suburban multiple units and freight vehicles braking from speeds sometimes in excess of 200 kph. Research and development sits at the very core of EBC’s operations, the extensive facilities at its Bristol manufacturing plant including full chemistry, friction development and testing facilities with numerous dynamometers. The R&D engineers are responsible for researching, testing and homologation of not just established production formulations, but new elements and ingredients and production methods that can manufacture pads more consistently and with higher quality thresholds; once formulated, every EBC Brakes compound is subject to conformity-of-
Rolling Stock
production tests, and is also fine-tuned within the parameters of industry-standard guidelines to constantly ensure that the product performs to exacting standards. The methods are extremely rigorous: every batch of brake pads made at EBC is subjected to thorough interrogation, including destructive sheer testing, density testing, sonar and ultrasonic testing, compressibility testing, and friction level testing to ensure that every batch that leaves the factory is perfect.
Typical materials used in brake pad development
EBC has never used asbestos, cadmium, nickel, lead or mercury, and has developed new copper-free formulations which offer environmental benefits as well as working in-line with forthcoming legislation in global markets. When it comes to selecting, developing and testing new materials for braking products for rail systems, EBC has a clear process and set of protocols. Friction materials are complex composites made from ingredients
which can be broadly divided into four families: the first of these is binders, which are rubbers and resins that give the finished products their structure and act as a matrix to surround the other ingredients. The second is fibres, acting to reinforce the matrix and thereby improve toughness – for example, steel, aramid, or mineral fibres. The third family is friction and wear modifiers – this group can include abrasives and lubricants such as silicon carbide and graphite, which are adjusted to tune the frictional and wear characteristics as required by the individual application. And finally there are functional fillers; different types of filler will increase or decrease the density and porosity of the final product. Within each of these families there are hundreds of possible ingredients, which are selected based on the performance characteristics required from the final product. This is an iterative process requiring analysis of multiple dynamometer test results, and relying upon the experience of the compounder. Rail pad development work is carried out on a full-scale rail dynamometer, running a full-size railway brake disc and a calliper that can accept UIC200-shape pads. Depending
on application, the process usually begins with benchmarking existing approved materials; the results of this testing, along with any input from the marketplace or customer, will form the performance requirements of any new product. Development then begins, generally starting with an existing material and modifying the formulation to tune the friction and wear characteristics as required. Test routines depend on application and any customer or regulatory requirements; EBC/EFI often uses the Europe-wide UIC test routines, but can also use route simulations which replicate as closely as possible the speeds, decelerations, pressures and temperatures seen in the real world for a given route. Development is an iterative process with many cycles of ‘test – analyse – re-formulate – re-test’ until the pads are performing to the standards required. As with everything at EBC, quality is always the watchword. Jonathon Fox Tel: 01604 583 344 Email: rail@ebcbrakesuk.com Visit: www.ebcbrakesrail.com

he Jigsaw system was the first of the new generation of real time, web-based fuel management systems and remains at the forefront of the fuel management industry, leading the way with innovative new features specific to the requirements of rail refuelling. Depot stock control There are two main aspects to any fuel
management system. The first is stock management; making sure the stock you are invoiced for actually gets into your holding tanks, monitoring stock levels whilst it’s there, and making sure that fuel stays there securely until it is used. Secondly, as stock is removed from the tanks, the system should be able to account for every drop, identifying who took the fuel, when, and what it was used for.
The Jigsaw system can monitor all deliveries and drawings using normal book stock management techniques, but the system is enhanced greatly when a Tank Gauge system is connected so that readings are directly taken with each refuelling.

Good TS – The site above is almost perfect. The blue and green lines are virtually in the same place and there is little discernible drift over three months in the red discrepancy line. The red peaks showing the time between the gauge seeing deliveries and them being entered are minimal and the steady rate of fall means it is simple for the system to calculate when the stock will next need reordering.
Bad TS – This site shows a problem over time with the pump over delivering resulting in an increasing discrepancy over time. There also appear to be a few step changes in the discrepancy which may be evidence of incorrect data entry, short deliveries or theft. Page 202 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
Rolling Stock
need to change any of the existing pumps. Once installed the system identifies the fueller and the loco being fuelled, measures the amount of fuel, time stamps the delivery then passes it straight to the host server where it may be viewed from any web enabled device. A list of rolling stock allowed to fuel is maintained on the server and fuelling can easily be allocated to the different Train Operating Companies making cross billing simple. The Jigsaw system has rail specific features designed into it and can, for example, monitor train units in sets. All units in a set are travelling the same distance for the same amount of time, so should take roughly the same amount of fuel. The Jigsaw system highlights any sets where a unit is using much more, or much less than its peers in a clear graphical tile so that possible maintenance issues may be addressed.
the front of the loco and displays the amount of fuel being delivered from each dispensing point in real time. This also has a green/red signal to verify that the nozzles have been removed and stowed, and it is safe to proceed at the end of fuelling. Although the Jigsaw system can be interfaced to most currently installed pump types, we are also working with the rail refuelling pump suppliers to fully integrate the Jigsaw systems in new pumps so that installation on site is easier as the pumps and system are already tested together and the system can be preconfigured. The integrated units have the emergency stops and other controls are integrated in to the same unit so all they need on site is fuel and power.

Rail construction fuel management Because the Jigsaw system uses the mobile data network and doesn’t rely on being connected to the user’s IT infrastructure, mobile or temporary fuelling installations are as easy to manage as static sites. The problems of stock management and fuel tracking don’t go away on mobile and temporary sites, they usually just get harder to achieve. The Jigsaw system may be fitted to temporary fuel tanks fuelling plant equipment, or to mobile bowsers doing the same. In either case, stock management and delivery monitoring are not compromised, and security may be enhanced by the integration of nozzle-based ID readers and automatic hours/mileage capture. Ongoing rail system developments Jigsaw are already working with many of the train operators and are constantly being asked to develop new systems to enhance rail refuelling and maintenance. They have developed Auto ID systems where a long distance tag reader is used to read an RFID tag on the locomotive unit so that there is no need for the fueller to type in the loco ID. This same system has been used as the basis of a system to identify loco’s entering train washing systems. As the driver will most likely remain in the loco during fuelling, it is not possible to be able to directly see the quantity of fuel delivered to each locomotive unit. To ensure that fuel was delivered to each unit and to be able to verify the quantity without leaving the cab, a driver display has been developed which is positioned at

uilding on its reputation as the largest b2b rail community in the UK and the go-to organisation for doing business in rail, the Rail Alliance has gone from strength-to-strength. Spanning the entire rail supply chain, the community forms a rich and diverse network and as it grows, so does the knowledge within and also the connections to be leveraged. Sitting at the very heart of the rail supply chain, the Rail Alliance acts as a valuable resource for UK rail businesses, and provides a number of high quality business focused benefits from networking opportunities, knowledge transfer, market intelligence, company profile raising in addition to access to business advice specific to rail or international programmes and much more. We are also very proud of the representation within the community from other sectors – such as aerospace, automotive, oil and gas and nuclear to name but a few. This adds even greater diversity to the community, bringing fresh innovation and new ideas to further enhance and enrich the R&D/I processes within the sector. The Rail Alliance’s revised business model allows organisations to select a level
of service that meets individual business needs – from a freemium option right up to a full service, gold package. This provides new options and offers increased flexibility to join the community and has resulted in exponential growth. We have been extremely encouraged by the value the community has placed on joining the Rail Alliance with many choosing to move from a freemium option to full community partner status which reflects a true endorsement from the sector. With the backing of the University of Birmingham via BCRRE, the Rail Alliance is in an even stronger position to support the rail supply sector and assist organisations within the community to navigate what can often be a complex market environment – whether a company is new to the sector or looking to develop rail business as an established organisation in rail. The Rail Alliance is fiercely proud of its community – a community with a passion to thrive and achieve through collaboration, networking and innovation. Our mission is to be the UK’s number one rail supply chain partner of choice – the critical link between rail buyers and suppliers. Silver Membership – exclusive content for all of the Rail Alliance Community In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the BCRRE Rail Alliance has given all Community members access to exclusive, online, digital content, free of charge. This has been rapidly implemented so that the whole Community can utilise the platform to engage digitally, access content that would otherwise be a paid-for commodity, so that they can keep abreast of business opportunities and news. The BCRRE Rail Alliance will ensure
Page 206 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
that it continues to support the railway Community, especially SMEs, and help companies navigate the complex rail landscape during these particularly difficult circumstances. The BCRRE Rail Alliance has a number of webinars available to view online right now. Members can access sessions planned around decarbonisation, digitalisation and many more; additionally, we will be releasing short rail sector general knowledge videos aimed specifically at those companies new to rail or who are considering diversifying into rail. As part of a wider plan, membership packages have been categorised as Gold, Silver and Bronze in order to offer membership programmes tailored to business needs as follows: • Gold membership reflects the traditional package previously offered by the Rail Alliance which includes access to all networking events in addition to the online portal. • The Silver package is a new level of membership that can be taken advantage of by those organisations preferring to only access the online platform. The portal includes webinars and recorded events with the additional option of purchasing tickets to attend networking events, if they choose to. • Bronze replaces the freemium option and provides companies an online presence on the Rail Alliance website directory and a subscription to the newsletter to keep-up to-date with industry news and events. Alex Burrows, Managing Director BCRRE Rail Alliance comments about these membership packages: ‘The BCRRE Rail Alliance continues to be dedicated to meeting the needs of its Community and recognises this as an evolving set of needs and requirements. This move ensures that all members gain maximum value from being part of this proactive and engaged cluster of rail businesses. ‘We recognise that every company is in a difficult position right now and we want to

Surveying
Beware drones – especially for surveying and mapping There is no doubt that the drone, or to use the CAA preferred terminology, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), has made a dramatic impact on the business of surveying but don’t be seduced by everything you read or are told
A
s potential users of UAS technology in producing the CAD models on which your designs (and reputations) are based you need to be aware of where and when it can be used and, more importantly, where and when it should not be used. The traditional aerial survey technique carried out by a photogrammetrist using photogrammetry has been around since 1850 and is a tried and tested mapping solution that has been used by Network Rail for the past seventy years. However, the cost of the data capture, requiring a twin-engine aircraft, a £500,000 camera and crew, restricts its use to the larger projects like asset management or aerial survey mapping of intercity routes. The introduction of the UAS and associated software has made photogrammetry affordable for even the smallest of projects although whether it is the right solution is a topic we shall explore later. This article explains the pros and cons of using UAS technology and is split into several sections which cover: 1. The science behind a traditional photogrammetric solution. 2. The art behind a traditional photogrammetric solution. 3. The difference between UAS and tradition. 4. Where it can go wrong. 5. What ABA can do about it. The science behind photogrammetry Photogrammetry can be defined as being the art and science of taking off measurements from a series of overlapping photographs. For survey purposes this photography would historically have been captured by a metric camera having a calibrated lens with high accuracy. A typical aerial survey comprises a run of photography (fig 1) with forward gain of 40 per cent of the distance between the exposures (a forward overlap of 60 per cent). If the area is wider than one strip, then more strips are flown with a typical side-lap of 25 per cent.
The area of the overlap between any two exposures is therefore recorded from two different camera positions having different perspectives and can, because of this, be viewed stereoscopically as a 3D model. The lens projects the image of the ground and detail onto a flat plane called the image plane. Put simply, parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object relative to other objects when viewed from two different viewpoints. This can be simply demonstrated by holding one finger in front of your face at a distance of, say, 30cm (1ft). Now open and close each eye alternately and the position of the finger appears to move against the background view. Now extend your arm and move the finger to a distance of 60cm (2ft) and repeat opening and closing alternate eyes. The apparent movement of the finger against the background image is now significantly less. This is parallax difference and is caused by the differences in the angles subtended at the eye base in the two views. Due to foreshortening, nearby objects show a larger parallax than distant objects when observed from different positions, so parallax differences can be used to determine distance differences. Of course, the distance between our eyes (our eye base) is measured in just centimetres whereas the distance to the background may be anything from a few metres to a few kilometres. The assessment of the relative distances of distant objects is therefore more difficult for us than close objects because our eye base is small compared to the distance away. In conventional aerial photography the distance between the images (the air base) corresponds to the eye base and the height above ground corresponds to the distance away from the object. A common ratio for
the base to height ratio is 1:4 which gives a much-exaggerated impression of height differences and which in turn facilitates a high accuracy in the derived measurements. Consider a chimney captured in two successive aerial photographs. If we knew the distance between the exposures, the airbase, we could calculate the height of the chimney by measuring the two different displacements a1-a2 and b1-b2 corresponding to the differences between the two parallactic angles α and β. Of course, nothing is quite as simple as this. In real life the two images, taken from different camera positions, will be at different elevations and each will have a different roll, pitch and yaw which will all affect the position of the point as recorded in the image. Not a problem. We use a procedure which basically consists of adjusting the roll, pitch and yaw of both images until every point in the overlap has a single unique 3d position when viewed stereoscopically as a 3D model. This is called Interior or Inner Orientation. Once the interior orientation process is completed, each overlap (60 per cent of the ground covered by each image) can be viewed stereoscopically as a 3D model. But, at this stage the 3D model has no scale, has no orientation and has no

relation to a horizontal datum. This is the time to identify points in the model, called ground control points or GCPs, that have or will have coordinates and or levels and which will be used to ‘level and scale’ the model to datum and grid. The process is called Exterior Orientation. In order to reduce the number of control points needed, or to provide QA for the GCPs, a process of aero-triangulation has become the norm over the past thirty years ever since office computational power has become much more available. Aerial triangulation traditionally meant choosing a number of additional control points to be selected between the models, known as ‘pass points’. These were carefully chosen clear points of detail, usually six per overlap, that could be observed in the forward overlaps and for the wing points in the lateral side-laps. The photogrammetrist will now observe each pass point and GCP by essentially recording the x and y coordinates of the point as seen in each image. A process called aero-triangulation is now used to ‘tie’ the models together using the observed x, y values to derive a unique set of coordinates and levels for the pass points and GCPs using a least squares solution. The art behind a traditional photogrammetric solution The art is the contribution made by the photogrammetrist to select precisely the pass points and GCPs to firstly achieve the interior orientation and secondly the exterior orientation, but, most importantly, to then go on to interpret the model correctly to extract detail and contours to the required accuracy. The extraction of the detail and contours is a very subjective process during which the photogrammetrist will continuously make judgements for the correct interpretation of the image. An example would be the crop that typically covers farmland for six months of the year. A photogrammetrist, confronted with this situation, would simply look round the field and measure the crop height at several places where the ground was clearly visible. Using the mean of these measurements he or she would then contour the top of the crop allowing for the height. During this detail abstraction process the skill of the photogrammetrist will also add considerable value. For instance, the ground footprint of the face of a building may only be visible in one image. In this case the photogrammetrist will set the reference mark to ground level clear of the building face and ‘drive’ to the face to record its position using just one image.
The difference between UAS and tradition For a start most UASs use non-metric and uncalibrated cameras although the high-end cameras from Phase One and Hasselblad have quality lenses which have been tested and are close to being as distortion free as metric cameras. When using a UAS it is normal to increase the fore and aft and lateral overlaps significantly. Typical UAS sorties would be flight planned to give forward overlaps of 80 per cent and side laps 60 per cent. Therefore, on a traditional flight a typical detail point will fall on at least one model and maybe on up to four models if it is in the side lap as well. With a UAS flight a typical detail point will fall on a minimum of three models and maybe on up to nine models if it is in the side lap as well, thereby offering more opportunities to compute a solution for the point. The larger overlaps also provide a much greater possibility of capturing all the ground detail especially in towns where taller buildings can obscure the roads and pavements. However, the base to distance ratio in these models is significantly reduced which then degrades the ability to measure accurately. The UAS therefore makes up for the loss of this geometric accuracy to some extent with numerical statistics. Measure more times less accurately and then take the mean. Whereas traditionally the inner orientation, the exterior orientation and the aero-triangulation to establish 3D models are all processes performed by the photogrammetrist, in the UAS world the 3D models are formed and the aero-triangulation is all done by a computer. Pix4d, AgiSoft, DroneDeploy, Context Capture and SimActive are probably the most used professional packages for mapping. All software packages replace the photogrammetrist with a technique of pixel
matching to derive the x and y positions for the pass points, now increased in numbers and in geometrically fixed positions, that tie the images together and the GCPs that establish the orientation and scale. The various software packages use different patterns of pixels to search for a match. Once the inner and exterior orientations are computed we then need to convert the 3D model data to a useable form for mapping purposes. The two datasets we most work with are ortho-photos and a point cloud. Where it has been able to, the software will have calculated an x, y and z coordinate for each pixel. The point cloud is therefore a simple output of these points together with their RGB values. The ortho-photo is formed by dropping each point to ground level or a base plane so that the resulting scaled image can be used like a plan and scaled from. Where it can go wrong Unfortunately, pixel matching is not infallible especially when the pixels move, and the pixels can move. The images are collected by digital sensors that are themselves moving and the combination of shutter speed and aperture to get a balanced exposure must allow the shutter speed to minimise any ground movement of the image. Fixed wing aircraft present the biggest challenge. Fixed wing aircraft must have a forward airspeed capable of supporting their flight otherwise they fall out of the sky – simple. Consider a wind speed of only ten knots. A fixed wing UAS with a stall speed of 15knots must therefore cover the ground at 25-30 knots minimum when flying with the wind but could have a groundspeed as slow as five knots when flying into wind.
Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021 Page 211
Surveying
Flying at 30 knots will equate to an image movement of 15mm with a shutter speed of 1/1000 second. With wind speeds in excess of ten knots we would therefore advise that all photo strips are flown into wind. Other instances when pixel matching fails are when the pixels are all similar and moving like a cropped field or the detail being captured is featureless like still water. The mathematics behind pixel matching can be seriously challenged for certain linear features that run parallel to the direction of flight. Railway lines are a classic case in point although the comment could equally apply to overhead lines. The reason is that the success of height determination depends on an accurate determination of the differences of the parallactic angles subtended at the air base as we saw in Fig 2. In the case of photography along a railway route the tops of the rails are all made up of identical shiny pixels running parallel to the air base. In these circumstances the computer finds it difficult, if not impossible, to pixel match and thereby derives an incorrect position and height value. When compared to traditionally surveyed points we have found random height differences of up to +/-50mm which a photogrammetrist would have identified and rejected. The following is an example of where pixel matching has gone wrong.
We have invested heavily in developing new UAS technology and recognise the benefits to ourselves and our clients from its correct usage. It has become an essential tool in our toolbox and stands alongside and compliments our other total station, static and mobile scanning and GNSS techniques. ABA Surveying operates at the high accuracy end of the dimensional surveying spectrum. We work almost exclusively in the railway infrastructure and highway sectors with more than a few structures thrown in and where 5mm survey accuracy is our target. We have been using aerial survey for non-spatially critical detail for more than thirty years and have always considered it an invaluable tool in our armoury so when UASs offered a more practical solution we were early
2. Mark the chainage points across the top of the rail using spray paint. Option 1 can only sensibly be done with a multi-rotor aircraft. A fixed wing aircraft flying this pattern would risk overflying significant areas outside the railway boundary which would not be under control of the pilot. Option 2 requires track access time which is something we are trying to minimise by using a UAS approach in the first place. Our conclusion is that the use of the UAS for survey of railway tracks themselves is not our preferred option. The UAS however can provide a most cost-effective solution for the survey of all non-spatially critical detail. Trackside detail and detail on the lineside between the

Definitely not fit for purpose – especially surveying. Blurred and double imaging visible over whole orthophoto image. What ABA can do about it So, has the development of the UAS for surveying killed off the role of the photogrammetrist? In our opinion – the answer is undoubtedly YES. But – all is not lost. The so-called game changer has certainly changed the game. The game now requires us to be aware of these shortcomings and put procedures in place to stop them affecting the deliverable. At ABA the skill and expertise of the photogrammetrist is replaced by the skill of the surveyor but after the computer has done its job. Our production process now includes for a skilled field surveyor or even a survey team to validate the output from the computer at the same time as completing the survey detail that has not been possible from the imagery – contours in wooded areas etc.
adopters and developers of the technology. In planning UAS imagery suitable for surveying purposes our first requirement is to know the accuracy expected of the final deliverable. Informed thinking is that the best horizontal accuracy that can be achieved will be 1½ times the GSD (distance between pixel centres on the ground) and the best height accuracy will be 2 ½ times the GSD. ABA have carried out extensive testing over a three hundred metre by 20metre test area capturing precisely surveyed targets at five-metre intervals. Our tests show that flying at a height of 35 metres we can determine heights better than 5mm RMSE from the imagery even when the control is up to 50m spacing. But this is when the points being determined are pre-marked with 40x40mm targets. Railway lines running in the direction of the flight are not good targets for the reasons we have explained earlier. We have found there are two options for improving the determination of railway lines: 1. Fly in a pattern that is at right angles to the track – rather like a cross-stitch pattern.

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

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

Surveying
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 out work are either: A. A multi rotor UAV with a payload operating a 100mp camera, or B. 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 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 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. 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 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. Central Rail Systems Alliance S&C PBH is delivering detailed S&C surveys for the CRSA Alliance across multiple regions. PBH undertake all access planning, paperwork and Safety Critical Staff for the
Page 214 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
client to ensure efficient delivery of both surveys and client design. A large percentage of PBH’s staff have extensive experience in this type of work which is demonstrated by our capacity to supply the large amount of survey data that is required when renewing S&C. Our regional based survey teams and internal planning resource services allow any changes to the delivery programme to be actioned quickly and safely. Central Rail Systems Alliance Plain Line Workbank and Network Rail Workbank Through CP6, PBH Rail is delivering Plain Line surveys across LNE, LNW, Anglia and 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. 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. 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.

Sustainability
Scaffolding with an environmental focus The importance of safety, versatility and cost effectiveness relating to the use of scaffolding is quite clearly not in dispute and can be demonstrated across a wide range of rail applications
E
very installation – from building and construction to maintenance and refurbishment – has to meet the highest standards in these key areas. ‘There is, however, a further dimension which is invariably being highlighted by all users of our equipment and systems’ says Sean Pike, UK Managing Director of system scaffolding, access and weather protection specialist, Layher Ltd. ‘Optimising environmental performance has now become a factor that is not only called for by our customers but one which, vitally, we demand of ourselves.’ Layher’s view reflects today’s greater emphasis on the achievement of greener performance. This, the company believes, impacts not only on the broad need to ensure that its methods always take account of environmental effect but also on the advantages that can then be realised from a competitive point of view. ‘Every aspect of our activity now accommodates this consideration – from manufacturing and production processes to optimising our broad association with local, national and international communities’ adds Sean Pike. This philosophy at Layher extends to both economic and ecological sustainability. The organisation ensures, for example, that it not only utilises resource-preserving production processes but also focuses its commitment on areas such as facility construction and transport. ‘For example, we have created a dedicated Energy Management Team at our
manufacturing plant near Stuttgart’ continues Sean Pike, ‘which uses the international standard ISO 50001 as the basis for all activities and processes that call for the use and consumption of energy.’ Layher has identified several areas where the obligations associated with environmentally responsible activity should be applied. The sustainability of its production processes, the means of measuring performance and the design of the products themselves – all come under the green spotlight. ‘We have committed to a ten per cent reduction in energy consumption across our production processes over the next ten years’ explains Sean Pike by way of example. ‘This includes a move towards optimising movement between manufacturing locations to help reduce CO² emissions, the acquisition of raw materials that themselves are ecologically sustainable and the use of machinery which operates within the highest energy efficiency class.’ The use of new production technologies and processes that look to ensure the preservation of resources can also be seen through the company’s focus on utilising innovative technology such as combined heat and power and heat recovery facilities. ‘It is vital that this approach is continually subjected to a reliable means of measurement’ continues Sean Pike, ‘not just in order to demonstrate our performance, but also to identify areas where further improvements can be made.’ Replacing diesel forklift trucks with electric alternatives, installing photovoltaic
Page 216 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
systems and incorporating green spaces in new building plans are all factors that the company applies and adheres to wherever possible. The reduction of waste materials, often to create an alternative energy source, is a further demonstration of this principle in practice. Layher also believes that product design, much of which has long represented benefits to users in the rail sector should, itself, reflect the green imperative. For example, being able to combine new equipment with existing materials and stocks can help to optimise the long-term use and versatility of scaffolding, weather protection and access solutions. It is a view that is echoed by the organisation’s commitment to ensuring equipment approvals remain applicable across successive design generations. ‘The use of lightweight materials also plays an important role not only by helping with operations on site but also because they can contribute to minimising transportation needs – with, again, a beneficial impact on emissions’ continues Sean Pike. He points out that this can accommodate often restricted space alongside rail tracks during building or refurbishment operations. Moreover, easier equipment handling can reduce project time requirements – of particular note where, so often, possession is key. Perhaps one the most dramatic recent developments by Layher has been its Scaffold Information Modelling (SIM) software and, here too, environmental gains can be noted. ‘The design tool, which interfaces directly with BIM, provides a highly versatile planning method which offers enhanced presentation opportunities, communication with mobile devices via cloud-based mixed reality and even VR-modelling’ explains Sean Pike. ‘In turn, this can reduce the need for multi-party meetings and operations which, once again, can help cut down on travel requirements and consequent emissions.’
Sustainability
The company also places great emphasis on its ongoing commitment to product innovation which, they emphasise, continues despite today’s considerations. Often the result of customer feedback, the introduction of new equipment ranges from major developments – such as the Allround Bridging System which offers key gains for passenger and workforce access and movement during, for example, station refurbishment – to individual, one-off component innovations. ‘Our new FlexBeam is also a prime example in this regard’ continues Sean Pike. ‘Designed for use with gantries, cantilevered or suspended scaffold structures, the Layher FlexBeam achieves a 40 per cent higher bending load capacity – crucially without the need for compression cross bracing.’ Significantly for
the rail sector, greater radii can be achieved with curved structures such as bridges, eliminating the need for extensive material usage and minimising manpower time. Today, use of the full range of Layher’s equipment and support services is enhanced by, not only, its head office in Letchworth, which they moved into in 1997, but also via satellite depots in Livingston in Scotland, Eggborough in Yorkshire, Dublin in Ireland and, most recently, West Bromwich in the West Midlands. ‘This means that regional customers can not only enjoy direct access to our design and technical capabilities in the UK – and, indeed, from our manufacturing plant and headquarters near Stuttgart in Germany – but also to the full range of Layher systems and equipment’ continues Sean Pike. In the current climate, he believes the latter to be of particular importance. The company maintains extensive stockholding in each location to enable delivery and collection commitments – both planned and ad hoc – to be fully realised. ‘This is especially relevant to our rail industry customers because, by definition, they are located throughout the country’ adds Sean Pike. ‘The focus on environmental performance
– in all its aspects – is, today, high on the agenda of all responsible companies and, in our sector, we believe we take a committed and proactive approach to the issue’ says Sean Pike. ‘We have recently marked our 75th anniversary since we began the production of ladders in little more than a small hut and throughout that time, our belief in quality, innovation and working closely ‘in partnership’ with customers has been well recognised. This is now being enhanced by our belief in meeting our green obligations.’ In the rail sector, Layher believe its approach and methods have allowed the company to develop a detailed understanding of the specific needs of the industry – from the importance of safety and system versatility to the gains that can be realised by optimised project control and management. ‘This, together with the added emphasis we place today on optimising our, and our customers’, environmental performance results in a level of capability and service which, I am sure, will be recognised and appreciated by all concerned,’ concludes Sean Pike.

examples of best practice and develop innovative engineering techniques to support and enhance their Customers’ capabilities to deliver Programmes and Projects. Aiming to streamline and enhance engineering processes so that deliverables and deadlines are met without compromising the quality of engineering and constraining budgets. So, what core rail expertise have Synoptix delivered over the past three years? Authorisation and customer approvals There are many obstacles to overcome when developing a system; two of which are also the most critical milestones for the duration of the project: authorising the design with an independent organisation who have been accredited by the government; and customer acceptance. Each of these ‘phases’ have individual hurdles, and Synoptix have combined their core strengths of systems engineering and their rail expertise to overcome them. As an example, Synoptix were tasked by a customer who were expanding their platform, and as such had extensive compliance reports to be managed before sending to the NoBo/DeBo for approval. Deploying a small team and utilised lean process techniques to track each deliverable throughout its lifecycle. Development and application of this process enabled different departments within this company to communicate more effectively, allowing a shared vision to be provided on what inputs were required from who and when. The fully implemented process was then rolled out across the platform benefitting the customer in saved time and effort across multiple projects. In addition, Synoptix identified a number of issues which were halting these deliverables from being sent to the authority board. One of the fundamentals of systems engineering is traceability, a pragmatic approach was taken to ensure all the relevant information was populated. The relationships developed were utilised for
Synoptix embraced start-up methods of ‘rapid prototyping’ to keep costs low and provide options to the user which led to producing early validation, having only spent several weeks working with the customer
Unlike authorising which ensures the manufacturer is conforming to regulations, customer acceptance focuses on if the design will be able to provide the passengers with the service they are expecting, maintenance features and usability for staff. Taking this into consideration means completing this process takes a longer time than authorisation. Synoptix were tasked to work alongside the Chief Engineer to negotiate the approval of requirements quick turnaround time, this is essential as there are numerous work streams that are required to be closed for the trains to be authorised. Improved productivity and efficiency in this phase will ultimately lead to time scales staying within boundaries, saving money and allowing the project to be delivered on time. Unlike authorising which ensures the manufacturer is conforming to regulations, customer acceptance focuses on if the design will be able to provide the passengers with the service they are expecting, maintenance features and usability for staff. Taking this into consideration means completing this process takes a longer time than authorisation. Synoptix were tasked to work alongside the Chief Engineer to negotiate the approval of requirements. This has led to working in an agile team, who are able to deliver bespoke solutions that satisfy the customer but also are feasible and cost-effective to the manufacturer. Synoptix were given the responsibility to react to the customers’ feedback accordingly, it freed up their customer’s key internal resources to divert their attention to larger ongoing issues which required immediate attention. Applying a systems engineering framework to key work streams have allowed the risks to be minimised whilst increasing the quality of the output. Delivering innovation in rail Synoptix believes innovating with state-ofthe-art technologies can maximise benefits for users or stakeholders who are facing unconventional or complex problems. At Network Rail, they deployed an Artificial Intelligence Tool to increase safety and reduce cost. The initial workshops focused on mapping out the ‘user journey’ to interpret the functional needs of the user. Synoptix utilised systems thinking to determine how functions were interconnected and the impact of each on other systems. Utilising lean systems engineering to elicit user requirements produced a clear understanding of how
their proposed solutions could be validated early and reduce the number of iterations required to go through verification. Synoptix embraced start-up methods of ‘rapid prototyping’ to keep costs low and provide options to the user which led to producing early validation, having only spent several weeks working with the customer. Trade studies were conducted to critically assess each solution and determine the routes to benefit realisation. Synoptix’s solution to fulfil the user’s requirements resulted in developing a Machine Learning model which automated a repetitive and costly task. Synoptix were conscious of applicable safety standards and certification routes so they placed bounding requirements to maintain the focus on innovation whilst maintaining a vision of the end goal of an in-service product. What outcomes has this achieved? By utilising ‘light touch’ systems engineering, Synoptix deliver to time, cost, and quality. Combining the latest technology and utilising tried and tested processes, they were able to reduce their customers staffing workload by automating repetitive tasks and reduce costs on outsourcing mundane work packages. What are the steps to achieving something similar? Synoptix strive to solve complex problems by deploying agile teams to rapidly prototype solutions and provide the valid and verified evidence required to overcome any stakeholder or investment hurdles.

Legato blocks – case study Elite Precast Concrete Ltd and RSG Structures have once again joined forces to deliver an innovative and great value solution for a client
R
SG Structures operate as an independent designer, supplier and installer of all manner of precast, prestressed concrete as well as traditional steel frame and also membrane covers/canopies. They use a network of carefully vetted suppliers to ensure only the highest quality products are included in the portfolio and by offering a completely impartial service, there is no bias toward any one particular product, as all are considered on their individual merits and their suitability. This gives clients the confidence they are not just being sold to by a salesman but receiving sound advice from a company that have been working in this industry for a long time. This particular project involved an existing slab with many different levels, a client requirement for high walls (six to seven metres), a cover over the whole bunker and formed part of larger works including demolition and groundworks. As the slab was good, it would have been foolish not to use it, but varying levels meant putting walls directly onto it
would be an issue. Using a varying height plinth caters for the different levels of the existing slab and allows a level surface for walls and the roof to be formed. This particular plinth was 0.4 metre at its shallowest and just over 1.2 metre at its highest. There aren’t too many options available at this sort of height, L walls or horizontal panels are a possibility but the foot on an L wall at this height is around 2.6 metre which increases the footprint dramatically and panels would require either stub stanchions or a heavy-duty steel frame with corresponding large foundations. Options for the division walls are also very limited at this height and wouldn’t be operator friendly with feet or steelwork in the way.
Page 220 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
This is where Elite Precast’s high strength Legato block comes into its own. The standard blocks are cast from high quality 50N/mm2 concrete and are 1.6m x 0.8m x 0.8m, weighing 2,400kgs. When designed and installed correctly they can form very large walls to take large loads, including roof canopies on top. The use of double thickness walls at the base allows the walls to take the product loading and impact loading of the operating machinery with ease. With the division walls, a ‘footblock’ is
Track & Trackside
used which creates a very neat detail and is also self-cleaning of material. The cover for all of this is formed using a steel monopitch frame which is founded to ground externally and to the top of the walls internally and includes a spill flashing at the top of the wall. Using this combination of products gives the client huge versatility as the concrete plinth is the only part of this bunker complex that can’t be unbolted and taken away to be reconstructed on another site. The legato blocks are very simple to reconfigure into different heights and layouts which is what makes it such a versatile product. Times change very quickly and the ability to have an easily adaptable walling system is invaluable. RSG Structures are also pleased to announce the launching of an industry first inspection service called SiteSafe. Where clients have existing walls (constructed from interlocking blocks, timber sleepers, L shapes, panels or anything else) they can organise a SiteSafe report which includes a site survey to observe current wall layouts, systems, the types, designs and how walls are being used. The client then receives a factual report which will note where systems in place are working within design capability, highlight any areas of concern and recommend remedial actions to make the site safe, this is then signed off by an RSG Director and Structural Engineer.

Arcosystem with Technocrete™ – efficient troughing application It is common practice to protect lineside cables in troughing routes and it is fast becoming best practice to protect them in Arcosystem
O
ffering installation efficiencies of over 40 per cent compared to ground-based systems and traditional elevated offerings, Arcosystem has made a significant impact on the UK market following its introduction six years ago. These efficiencies are found through a significant reduction in site preparation required to install ground-based systems and with six-metre post centres replacing traditional two-metre centres for elevated route. Of course, this also reduces the manual impact on our workforce, protecting them from accidents and injuries. The manual process of installing Arcosystem has been made easier still with the introduction of Technocrete™, a sustainable and lightweight alternative to traditional cement based post mix. With 1.8kg of Technocrete™ replacing 60kg of post mix and mixing water it protects our workers from fatigue and musculoskeletal injuries while also protecting our
environment by omitting the use of cement. In fact, this innovative product is manufactured using recycled vegetable oil from the catering sector which allows it to provide a huge 70 per cent carbon saving in comparison to standard post mix. Scott Parnell are now frequently supplying major programmes of work which have switched from ground route to Arcosystem with Technocrete™ and with feedback like this it’s easy to see why ‘The Arcosystem holds around four kilometres of 3x240mm Aluminium cable, the six-metre system has allowed for a speedy install reducing the time staff are required to spend trackside and reducing manual handling risks as

Training
Creating a skilled workforce through innovation Sustainability, flexibility and investment into the next generation. This is what gave PM Training and Assessing the idea to approach signalling training in a creative way
P
M Training and Assessing are a micro business making a big impact in the rail sector, particularly in signalling. We have worked in the signalling sector for the past ten years; providing IRSE (Institution of Railway Signal Engineers) assessments and training up new assessors. In 2018, after the collapse of Carillion Rail, one of our founders was made redundant, and we made the decision to move into technical training. We wanted to provide a unique service that was able to be flexible and meet the needs of companies within the rail sector. After communicating with the managers from a number of high profiled companies, we realised that there was a large issue with staff having to travel for training. This in turn meant that staff were often away from work for long periods of time and was costing companies vast amounts of money in terms of travel, accommodation and lost shifts. Our solution was to take the training to the companies. We looked at a variety of ways in order to achieve this, and finally came up with the idea of converting a bus into a mobile training room. The result of our new venture would mean that we could take the technical classroom anywhere in the country.
Turning the dream to a reality Like most innovative ideas, it was a simple idea but needed a lot of time, resources and creative thinking to turn it into a reality. We told others within the industry what our plan was, and Arup were keen for their design apprentices to get involved and do the design for the bus. As a company we are very keen to bring on young people and give them opportunities, so we readily agreed. The apprentices then had the opportunity to take the lead on managing a mini project. During the life of the project they had to work with us to understand our limitations in space and how everything was to work within the bus. We were able to work with the apprentices to install a fully working relay interlocking with an NX push button panel that will set routes and operate the equipment installed on the bus. The equipment that is based on the bus includes cabling, TPWS, track circuit and a signal head. The circuitry can also drive a double ended set of clamplocks via plug couplers that are connected externally on a trailer. Environmental sustainability As we are going to the client it means that
Page 228 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
there is a reduction in the carbon emissions, as you don’t have each person driving to the training school in their own vehicle. There is just one vehicle on the road. This also helps with the wellbeing of candidates as they can stay at home. We are also using iPads for training and assessment instead of lots of paperwork for each trainee, therefore we are saving our use of paper and printer ink. We are also keeping all the trainee’s assessments electronically, without the need for printing. Case study: using our mobile classroom to deliver SMTH training to Cleshar In 2019 PM Training and Assessing delivered a full SMTH (Signal Maintenance Testing Handbook) certification course to Cleshar, in London, using our new mobile technical training bus. On this course we had a wide variety of learners from different backgrounds and of different ages. We gave them each an iPad, onto which we had pre-loaded all of the course notes. We gave them an Apple Pencil so they could personalise their notes. For those whose handwriting was not legible and preferred to type, they could do this using the iPad keyboard. Once they had completed their training
Training
and were ready for assessment, they completed the knowledge test using an online version of the exam. This was marked automatically so the trainer knew straight away who had passed and which questions they had got right. For their practical learning they were able to use the equipment which they would find in the live track environment. The trainer was able to set up the equipment in the bus so that he could simulate different scenarios that may happen in the course of their work. As the learners were based at their normal place of work, they were mentally refreshed each day as they could go home to their families. While the course was a success it also reduced the potential ecological impact by removing the need for multiple candidates making 180-mile car journeys to our centre in Wales. This saved 876kg of CO2 emissions just from using our bus. This also saved a collective 41 hours of driving required, improving the wellbeing of all involved. Cleshar estimated that we had saved them £9,000 in travel, accommodation and lost shifts.
equipment on it as the bus. With the trailer however, we have created more space so that we have a small classroom area, which means both knowledge and practical training can be delivered from the trailer. We are also exploring the use of virtual reality training with our local university to complement our training. We plan to have this working on the trailer by the end of summer 2021.
What the future holds As with many businesses during the covert pandemic we have had to be creative about how we deliver training and assessments. We have used an online learning platform to deliver our assessor training and made use of ‘Teams’ for delivering technical knowledge training. This has included new cohorts of Signalling Apprentices that we are delivering training for. However, we have also invested during this time in a new project, which is a converted show trailer with the same
Summary As a micro business, we are very proud of what we have achieved and we love it when people come onto the bus or trailer and are genuinely surprised about how good it looks, and the creative way we have used the space. We are looking forward to the challenges ahead and the way we can harness new technology. If you want to know more about what we do, get in touch via the contact information below.

Consultancy Support Services
have developed an online compliance client portal offering solutions to address each of these shortfalls. Each designed to save time, money and unnecessary effort involved with endless site visits, trawling endless spread sheets, and reems of paperwork, and of course eliminating human error. Competence management The system replaces the need for a training matrix/database, as all the information, certs and expiries, etc. are all maintained within the system which provides registered users with a unique QR codes and auto expire notifications to both the user and company administrator at 60 and 30 days, ensuring deadlines are no longer missed. The system uses RAG, with a count down from 60 days to expiry – see example QR code (scan to view), Individual training certificates can be viewed directly by the user. Additionally, the administrator of the system can run competency reports and download, by username or certificate name – which can be conveniently shared with clients, so no more sending actual certificates. Fatigue management and hours worked Users are required to login to record their hours worked/timesheets and travel times on a weekly basis, which can be set to specific times i.e., between 16:00 and 23:00 on a Friday, ensuring no late submissions and effective fatigue monitoring. Once submitted hours are analysed by the system, identifying potential and actual exceedances, again using colour coding for ease of use. Hours worked reports can be reviewed either individually by submission, by week number, or by totals showing all user submissions over a rolling 14-day period. The system also identifies level 1 and level 2 exceedances. Hours worked submissions can also be linked to daily form filing requirements, example being PUWER or vehicle forms, users can only record hours, where there is a corresponding form submitted, ensuring the requirements are met. Close call reporting system With the ability to upload photos and instantly share with company managers. These can be converted to PDF and instantly re-distributed on the system with the workforce. Close calls can be categorised in accordance with RSSB criterion. Toolbox talk/safety briefing This has gone down particularly well with social distancing requirements. The company admin has the ability to upload briefings to either individuals, groups, or the entire
workforce, instantly or on specific dates (according to schedules – weekly, monthly etc). Once uploaded the user receives a notification email that there is a new message available within their portal. Users login, download, read and then accept the briefing, providing a full audit trail, from upload to confirmation. A document library facility This can be used to upload things like company forms, policies and procedures, NR handbooks, standards, technical guidance, key point cards, designs, user manuals, risk assessments, WPP etc. These can be conveniently stored within project specific folders or individuals. Forms section This has been developed to enable our clients to have their own management system forms added to the system, an example being periodic medical questionnaires. In its current state, the system has been through several RISQS Audits, with multiple positives, which are usually hard to achieve, as this identifies that the required standards have been exceeded. Access to the portal is provide for a single monthly or annual fee. Training Walker Training & Consultancy offer H&S training at our training & assessment centre in West Sussex. Training packages include: • HV Training & Assessment services – Being one of just two training providers in the UK, Walker Training & Consultancy offer HV competent person and assessor training in accordance the Southern region HV system and Network rail standard NR/L3/ ELP/22001 Procedure and Competence Requirements for Persons Undertaking Works in the Vicinity of High Voltage Cables. Additionally, our experienced HV assessors provide HV cable assessment
services for works being undertaken within one metre of the southern region HV cables • Small tools – packages tailored to your specific requirements. • Manual handling • Track trolley • First Aid – emergency, full and mental health Tel: 01403 452406 Email: info@walkertraining-consultancy.co.uk Visit: www.walkertrainingconsultancy.co.uk
Testimonials I cannot recommend Walker Training & Consultancy highly enough. As a consultancy, they have developed & maintained my organisations BMS & RISQS compliance for 5 years now. During that time, we have not received a single non-conformance from RISQS. With the introduction of the compliance portal our organisation has gone from strength to strength. (Rail User)
Initially Walker Training & Consultancy was contracted under a retained service for H&S support, however after a short time this has moved on to a full package, of taking care of all our compliance, including ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, RISQS, Constructionline, CHAS, SMAS, UVDB. We have developed the compliance portal to enable payroll, saving valuable administration time. (Rail and Highways User)

Tunnelling
The future of tunnelling Professor Colin M Eddie FREng, expert in the Design and Construction of tunnels at CECL Global looks at the bigger picture
O
ur planet is changing more rapidly than at any other time in human history. It took 200,000 years of human evolution to get to a population of one billion in the 1800s; in the 200 years since we have seen a seven-fold increase, with the population expected to rise to ten billion by 2050. Associated with this population growth is explosive urbanisation: in 1800, three per cent of the world’s population lived in urban environments and by 2050, 70 per cent of us will be city dwellers. Megacities are defined at conurbations of more than ten million people. In 1950 there was only one (New York) and today we are approaching 50, both in industrialised and in developing countries. Where are we today? Associated with explosive urbanisation, we are seeing cities with inadequate shelter, insufficient infrastructure and services, overcrowded transportation systems, inadequate water supply and sanitation, increasing pollution and increasing consequences from natural disasters. This all means one thing: we are rapidly running out of space and this is fuelling an insatiable appetite to utilise the space beneath our feet. The tunnelling and underground space sector is currently estimated to be worth $100bn/annum and at nine per cent growth per year is one of the fastest growing sectors of the construction industry. Today however the cost of tunnelling, particularly on major projects is much higher than it needs to be in many parts of the world and perversely often in those countries with the most ‘mature’ construction industries. In recent years we have seen major tunnelling projects suffer significant and unnecessary cost over-runs due to poor procurement choices compounded by poor contract administration. Tunnelling projects are often procured using an incomplete reference design which is then to be developed by a design and construct entity. All too often however, tensions exist in this procurement process between the reference design, planning conditions, the Client’s unnecessary technical specifications and the functional requirements for the project. Couple this with excessive red tape, multiple tiers of management, a lack of a controlling

mind and excessive man marking, and we have the perfect storm. In many countries (including the UK) planning of underground space is extremely poor or even non-existent. No effective space reservation policies exist, and no single body is responsible for the coordination of underground space. Space is therefore allocated on a first come first served basis with no coordinated plan for the future. In cities such as London this will inevitably mean that future tunnels will be driven at ever increasing depths. Despite significant improvements in tunnelling technology in recent years we are still essentially scratching at the ground with tools that all too quickly wear out and then invariably supporting the ground with conventional concrete made from Portland Cement (one of the least sustainable construction materials, which is currently responsible for about 8 per cent of the yearly global CO2 emissions). New thinking is desperately required. The efficient and sustainable development of underground space is imperative if we are to maintain or even arrest the decline of the quality of the lives of our urban populations. In Elon Musk’s inimitable fashion, he recently challenged the world’s tunnellers to reduce the cost of tunnelling by 90 per cent. A headline grabbing soundbite no doubt, but actually a more legitimate aspiration that you must at first think. If we are able to implement emerging technologies together within more effective contractual

frameworks, a big bite could be taken out of this 90 per cent. If we sprinkle over the top, effective and pro-active risk management strategies, then confidence in the out-turn delivery will be also be greatly enhanced thereby improving much needed public and investor confidence in the future. Future tunnelling and underground space applications New and innovative technologies and materials will bring about a paradigm shift in tunnelling in the near future. Couple these with exciting new applications for underground space and we will soon be seeing major societal benefits around the globe. High-speed passenger transportation Travelling at high speed through the air at atmospheric pressure is highly energy inefficient. Power consumption is a function of drag and proportional to the cube of the speed and this explains why super cars have needed to double their horsepower to achieve top end speed increases of only a few kilometres per hour. At 400 kph the air feels like butter and very difficult to persuade to move out of the way. Most of us would have heard of Hyperloop or similar such systems. The concept is to travel at high speed (up to say 800 kph or even more) through a tube which has had most of its air sucked out to create a vacuum. Hyperloop is normally portrayed in an above ground tube, but for engineering and resilience reasons it is quite clear that
Tel: 078 E: mail@
Tunnelling
such systems will need to be built in tunnels. Over 20 years ago, scientists in Switzerland developed the Swiss Metro Concept. The concept was to utilise trains engineered to aircraft standard and run these in evacuated tunnels. The concept was to join each of the major cities in Switzerland and have commuting times measured in minutes rather than hours. Using linear induction motors the trains would effectively levitate and in the evacuated tubes would be virtually frictionless. As acceleration and deceleration rates would need to be limited for passenger comfort, the concept does need to be of sufficient length to be viable (i.e. you need a long enough length running at high speed to deliver the maximum benefit). Underground freight transport (UFT) systems The conveyance of freight underground is an obvious and cost-effective solution to the problems of increasing congestion on our cities’ roads, increasing pollution of the atmosphere and alarming rise in the fatality of cyclists. A high proportion of the goods
transported on the roads around the world is conveyed on pallets and roll container trolleys. These could easily be conveyed underground on autonomous smart pods powered with linear induction motors. Logistics centres on the outskirts of major conurbations would be used to facilitate just in time delivery via comparatively small diameter tunnels to underground distribution centres in the city centre. Tertiary delivery could be via a secondary capsule system, or more likely on the surface using electric vehicles or even in the air using drones. In Switzerland, Cargo sous terrain (CST) plans to transport and distribute small goods via a UFT system. The backbone of the system will be a 490 km long tunnel system stretching from Geneva to St. Gallen and from Basel to Lucerne, with an additional branch connecting Bern to Thun. The CST city logistics system will seamlessly link the tunnels with cities via the connecting hubs and will rely on synergies with existing transport modes for the supply of goods and disposal of waste (such as dry packaging materials). In 2021 the Swiss Parliament will be considering the changes to
its legislation required to enable effective delivery of a UFT network. In the UK, the government are currently funding the development of much needed harmonised standards for the design, construction and operation of UFT systems. This works is being led by engineering entrepreneurs from MoleSolutions and supported by Arup. As a keen supporter of this concept, I was delighted to be invited to chair the steering committee for this project and we look forward to publishing our findings later this year. A variant of this system will be used to convey 20ft and 40ft shipping containers from busy ports. Many cities around the globe suffer from the same challenge. Ports were often established hundreds or even thousands of years ago, with cities then growing around the port. Moving goods from these city ports often creates conflict and congestion on the existing road network. Existing technologies have been developed to solve these challenges and it is becoming increasing clear that the business case for such facilities is extremely compelling. Couple this with the
Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021 Page 233

sustainability, environmental and safety benefits these systems will bring and you must conclude that it is a question of when – not if – these systems will be built. The way forward New machines, materials and applications will radically change how we think about investing in underground infrastructure. These big ideas however need to be promoted by strong and determined champions who can win the confidence of investors, the public and politicians. I am sure that if visionary engineers such as Isambard Kingdom Brunel were alive today, we would already be benefitting from this revolution. Company profile CECL’s staff can demonstrate an unparalleled track record of bringing innovative ideas to market. We are currently engaged with the research and development of new methods of tunnelling and new materials which will drastically
reduce the cost and time of tunnelling and which will enhance the safety and sustainability of their construction and operation.

A
lmost all new rail projects include tunnels. Sometimes these are small, not very newsworthy tunnels; sometimes they challenge existing limitations. When it comes to rail projects, long tunnels crossing through difficult geological conditions often get a lot of publicity. To enable engineers to construct these underground wonders, one material is of vital importance: concrete. Whether sprayed concrete (often called shotcrete), concrete for prefabricated tunnel segments called tubbings, or concrete for the inner lining with or without steel or PP fibres – the availability, quality and price of the concrete plays a key role in the success of the project. This is where Mobil Baustoffe comes into play. Since 1998, the specialist company has supplied concrete to a large number of infrastructure projects, many of them rail projects and most of them tunnels. From the North Yorkshire Polyhalite Project in northeastern England to the E78 Grosetto– Fano Project in Italy, from the Alto Maipo
Hydropower Project in Chile to the Ras Laffan Gas Harbour project in Qatar – Mobil Baustoffe is your global and independent concrete partner all over the world. Mobil Baustoffe designs and builds optimised mixing equipment with harmonised logistics concepts., Smart solutions are developed together with the clients and tailor-made solutions found for everything related to concrete. Being independent from any raw material producer, the most suitable constituents are found and concrete mix designs developed. Mobil Baustoffe’s deep understanding of concrete technology is one of the pillars of its success. The required facilities are installed directly on site, operated during the construction period and dismantled once construction is complete. Any other amount of service or desired interface is possible, from full service “one stop shop” solutions to sole consulting by Mobil Baustoffe’s experts. As an example, Mobil Baustoffe was involved in the construction of the Gotthard
Base Tunnel in Switzerland. For the Amsteg and Erstfeld sections of the tunnel, Mobil Baustoffe produced about 930,000 m³ of concrete. To ensure the smooth operation of the construction sites, the Mobil Baustoffe JV organised the delivery of cement by rail. The required rail wagons were parked on dedicated “cement tracks”. The cement was then blown directly into the cement silos of the batching plants through long pipes. Thanks to the large storage capacities and precise coordination between the supplier and our qualified personnel, the construction sites were continuously supplied with concrete. The concrete was also transported by rail. Tunnel trains were loaded using special mobile concrete hoppers. It was possible to load the train from two mixers, each with a capacity of 3 m³, simultaneously. The loading system, including train shunting yard, was developed by Mobil Baustoffe in cooperation with our partners.

Tunnelling
Here the fully automatic cover lifting device deserves special mention. The transport hoppers of the concrete trains were closed with covers. The system automatically recognised the cover, released the latches, removed the cover and put it aside while the concrete was loaded. After loading, the automated system replaced the cover and closed the latch. Thanks to Mobil Baustoffe`s know-how and dedication, the concrete specialist company was able to make a significant contribution to the success of the construction of the Gotthard Base Tunnel, which at the time was the longest traffic tunnel in the world Another project worth mentioning is the Crossrail project in London. Mobil Baustoffe developed a tailor-made concrete mixing plant to produce concrete for the C410 lot of the Crossrail project right in the middle of the British capital. A 3.33 m³ batching plant with enough on-site storage to cover three working days of concrete demand was planned, produced and installed for an initial amount of 57,000 m³ of concrete. The smooth delivery of all constituents to Oxford Street was assured by the close
communication and coordination with the supply chain partners. The concrete batching plant with a 3.33 m³ twin-shaft mixer was designed to have the smallest footprint possible in order to fit in the available space. Using an overhead silo for aggregates and a large screwed cement silo, Mobil Baustoffe was able to store the raw material needed for 300 m³ of concrete as specified by the client. The material was delivered smoothly right into the heart of London via Oxford Street, London’s busiest shopping road. Operating the plant in a 24/7 shift system, Mobil Baustoffe was able to supply concrete directly into the client’s concrete pump (placed beneath the batching plant) at any given time. Mobil Baustoffe does not only produce on-site concrete; the company also makes prefabricated concrete segments and annular gap filling materials. One of the segment productions was for the Cityringen project in Copenhagen. Here Mobil Baustoffe successfully produced over 125,000 high-precision segments for about 30 km of tunnel. To do so, the company
Page 236 Rail Professional Industry Reference Book 2021
installed a production yard within the confines of Sassnitz Ferry Port on the island of Rügen in Germany. Reinforcement cages and segments were produced in two separate sheds. The planned output of segments was exceeded by up to 35 %. The client shipped the finished segments via ship to a storage yard in Copenhagen and eventually by truck to the respective sites along the tunnel line. 140,000 m³ of high-quality concrete was used to pour the 125,000 segments in a carousel system. Mobil Baustoffe’s concrete experts developed special concrete mix designs with a very low chloride ingress. The client had the optimal supply at any given time. Producing the segments in Germany had a valuable price advantage for the client.

Sovereign Hydroseal Water sealing technology Sovereign Hydroseal has developed and successfully implemented state-of-the-art solutions to stop water infiltration into underground structures based on half a century of experience
T
hese efforts include the use of NOH2O®, a proprietary polymer-based emulsion grout, combined with engineered/ professional installation techniques. The Sovereign system improves strength and reduces permeability of granular soils and in broken rock, reduces the flow of water along joints and discontinuances in the structure. Uncontrolled water inflow and leak remediation into underground structures are some of the biggest challenges for engineers, owners of infrastructure, and operators of mines. Such inflow can lead to unsafe/hazardous conditions and endanger those who use and operate in them as
well as impact performance of equipment and machinery. Sovereign design and sealing solutions are used for: • Ground water control • Contaminant containment • Soil improvement • Void filling Pre-grouting design Sovereign Hydroseal analyse geotechnical data and reports then design a mine grouting program to deal with the area prior to excavation – mineshafts, declines or tunnels. This results in a stable and dry formation prior to mining.
Remedial grouting The NOH2O remedial grout system is considered the most successful sealant technology in the world. Some of the benefits of our proprietary polymer grout, NOH2O are: • Single-part grout • Self-curing through simple shear action • Controllable setting/curing time • Curing is non-exothermic and non-expanding • Remains flexible once set – 350 per cent elasticity • Extremely permeating - particle size less than one Micron • Forms hydrocolloidal gel solution in water
