Project Details
Following a train driver accident in the south of England, which caused a train driver to suffer a broken leg whilst climbing down from his cab onto a high ballast shoulder; 4 no. new driver walkways on the recently implemented Leamington Corridor resignalling scheme were deemed unfit for purpose in case of a repeat incident.

Complete the handrails, trackbonds and install the signal telephone posts.
