« on: October 09, 2006, 06:38:56 PM »

A £413m programme to improve rail signalling systems and reduce trains delays has been unveiled (link below.)

Network Rail says the three-year scheme will form part of a long-term £2bn plan to overhaul signalling.

The government and rail regulator have yet to approve Network Rail's programme which would be spread across the next five to eight years.

Also , Westinghouse Rail Systems , based in Chippenham , said it has been awarded a national framework agreement by Network Rail , which includes the supply of Type A signalling projects in Scotland , the East Midlands and the West Midlands (links below.)

Previously Westinghouse Rail Systems was a division of Westinghouse Brake and Signal Company Ltd before being split into separate companies - Westinghouse Signals and Westinghouse Brakes Ltd. Invensys sold Westinghouse Brakes to Knorr-Bremse in April 2000.

Knorr-Bremse is based at Hampton Park East , Melksham (links below.)
