Tubular rail is the future?

Although forms of rail transport can be traced back to 600BC when the ‘rutway’ was built to assist with transportation, it is widely accepted that railways, as we know them, have been in existence for almost 200 years.

Born of the Industrial Revolution, trains powered by locomotives were the fulfilment of the dreams of their creators.

Today’s railway system differs greatly to the days when steam trains could be seen chugging around the industrial heartland of Britain, transporting coal, iron and wood.

Further changes and development have been in the pipeline for some time, with Britain’s railways poised to undergo a major programme of development.

HS2 Network – Could it Reduce Existing Services?

PRV Engineering is one of the UK’s leading high precision engineering machining contractors and has a long association with the country’s railway network. Any news stories or topics involving the rail industry are, of course, of close interest.

Quicker trains, shorter journeys. It sounds ideal. Or does it? Plans to introduce 225mph trains to Birmingham from 2026 is in danger of resulting in drastic cuts elsewhere according to Virgin Trains.

Government plans for high speed rail means that high speed trains come off the new line north of Birmingham and use the existing track to continue their journey to north west England and Scotland.

However, the fear is every bit as genuine as the plans are ambitious. Virgin Trains believe the plan will not only worsen congestion on an already crowded line, but will lead to existing services in the area being withdrawn to create room for the new high speed trains in the HS2 network.

PRV Engineering Looked Ahead – Britain’s Airway Industry Must Too

PRV Engineering Looked Ahead – Britain’s Airway Industry Must Too

PRV Engineering are one of the top high precision machining engineering contractors, not only here in the UK, but across mainland Europe too. How did they do it? They did it by making bold decisions about their future, and by being prepared to invest hard cash in cutting edge plant and machinery. Britain’s commercial airway industry faces a similar dilemma.

The Third Runway Debate
The British Airway Authority (BAA) first began lobbying the government back in May 2007. Here we are now over 5 years later in October 2012 with still no decision in sight. In fact the debate should have already been retargeted if Britain is serious about keeping its position as Europe’s premier hub of choice. Take PRV for example. By not being afraid to take difficult steps toward their own future, PRV Engineering has now been enjoying the benefits for the past 2 years. They have enjoyed an increased turnover of over 20% year on year.

Copper Thefts and Their Affect on the UK’s Railroads

As the economy throughout the world, and in Great Britain began to sink at the latter part of the last decade, copper thefts were on the rise. There is a direct and measurable correlation between a poor economy and copper thefts, which is tied together through a complex equation of supply and demand. While homeowners and businesses have faced the prospect of having pipes and electrical wiring stolen from their vacant properties, it has moved into more occupied space, as well as other industries.
