What We Do
Introduction
At RSSB, we support our members keep Britain moving with safer, smarter rail. We help the whole railway work together to address issues of common concern and ensure that innovative and sustainable technology is operated safely, efficiently and cost-effectively.
We provide information and guidance for all aspects of railway operations, including standards, wellbeing, sustainability, infrastructure and rolling stock asset integrity, customer satisfaction, performance, and safety.
Our principal activities include managing a research and development programme; developing, agreeing, and maintaining standards; and providing insight, analysis and guidance on railway systems, safety, and health.
Our staff include many of the industry’s experts across the major disciplines that make up the railway. We collect, model, and analyse data for the industry; we develop standards for the industry; and we commission and conduct research to address tactical and strategic issues that the industry is facing. We also explore the potential of existing and future technologies that could benefit the industry and its customers.
