Whether we work inside or outside of the rail industry, we all yearn for a better rail network system and improved facilities.

Network Rail has been working hand in hand with the train operating companies to deliver better stations across England and Wales.

By the time Spring 2015 comes around, the rail industry will have seen major changes and significant development.

A war chest of £150m was set aside, at the outset, as part of the National Stations’ Improvement Programme. The overall plan was to improve over 150 medium-sized stations in areas such as passenger information and facilities.

As a provider to the rail industry, we at PRV Engineering are delighted to see the investment in stations, across England and Wales.

The rail industry has been a constant topic of conversation over the past 12 months. From HS2 to the 10-year life extension of the current rolling stock and from Bombardier’s £1billion contract to the terrible damage caused by the recent inclement weather; trains and tracks have rarely been out of the news.

The early weeks of the New Year were dominated by the desperate news from the south west of England, in particular, where many sections of track were either submerged or damaged beyond repair.

With the storms having given way to a spell of brighter weather and rebuilding work ongoing, the attention now has turned to other matters, like HS2. This week HS2 chairman Sir David Higgins claimed that building work on the northern section of the £50bn high-speed project, should be accelerated.
