Rail Leader Update

We work collaboratively with industry to make Britain’s railway safer, more sustainable and more efficient. Our cross-industry groups and committees are heavily involved in this effort, with most of our services and resources being overseen, governed, commissioned or approved by them.

Through our Rail Leader Update, we bring you the latest headlines from our groups and committees, focusing on some of the areas that matter most to industry: rail standards, safety, health and wellbeing, sustainability, and research and development.

Standards

RSSB has recently made a series of revisions to the Rule Book, including the first steps to reduce the dependency on detonators. In this rail leader update, Tom Lee, Director of Standards, discusses this and other news, including the financial benefit for industry following the revision of a particular rail industry standard.
