In 2012 the Rail Technical Strategy (RTS) for the UK rail industry was published. This landmark document set out a 30 year vision for the railway that is radically different to today. What has been happening in the intervening years and how can the RTS vision of a high capacity, low cost, sustainable railway become a reality?
RSSB and Network Rail are working together on behalf of the railway industry to apply whole systems thinking to the delivery of the RTS - by combining R&D and technology demonstration programmes together, from a variety of domains, to develop new capabilities for the railway.
Many challenges lie ahead including: aligning the industry in the development of system-wide capabilities; engaging the supply chain in developing the required technologies; and identifying opportunities to deploy new technology into the railway.
Trevor Bradbury is the Rail Technical Strategy Delivery Manager for RSSB. Trevor’s role is to work with the industry to translate the Rail Technical Strategy into deliverable programmes. Trevor will look back on existing accomplishments, set out the latest thinking and the prospects for the RTS going forward.
