SUMMARY:Innovative Radar-based Ground Investigation for Rail Infrastructure Projects
DESCRIPTION:David Capstick\, Associate Director Business Development\, Central Alliance\nLancaster\, Barrow and Carlisle Section in-person meeting\nCentral Alliance recently completed a “First of a Kind” study at the site of the proposed Thorpe Park station between Leeds and York\, in which the use of its award-winning Multiband Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system allowed the presence of shallow mine workings to be identified. Network Rail alone manages thousands of these legacy mining-related risks\, which present a significant challenge to the maintenance\, renewal\, and construction of transport infrastructure across the UK\, and remain poorly defined using conventional intrusive investigation techniques. \nThe presentation demonstrates how the SAR system\, mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle\, was able to acquire high resolution subsurface data to depths of approximately 20 metres\, from which a high resolution three dimensional model of the underground workings was produced by correlating the radar responses obtained with historical borehole information. This model accurately delineated the extent and geometry of the mine workings relative to key surface assets\, including rail infrastructure\, highways\, and buildings\, thus demonstrating how the use of remote Multiband SAR sensing technologies can reduce engineering uncertainty\, lower project costs and improve operational safety. \nTransport available between railway station main entrance and venue at 15:00\, returning for 17:00 approximately. Light refreshments will be available before the meeting starts at 15:30. \nIf you are a RailEI member please book your space if would like this event to be automatically recorded in your CPD portfolio. \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE

SUMMARY:The Western Route Capacity – Back to the Future
DESCRIPTION:Howard Pack\, Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport Group (CILT)\nThames Valley Section hybrid meeting\nJoint meeting with Chartered Institute of Transport and Logistics (CILT)\nFocusing closer to home on “Western Route Capacity – Back to the Future”\, Howard will talk about work done in 2016 to understand how the passenger and freight traffic forecasts from 2015 to 2043 could be reconciled with the existing infrastructure and the new passenger rolling stock. The complex study involved modelling and identifying the time period break points at which new infrastructure or rolling stock would be needed and the physical locations and interventions. Howard will make this understandable by outlining designs for grade separated junctions\, remodelling Paddington and the Didcot to Oxford corridor; and even using double-decker trains to maximise train capacity and obviate building new lines. \n**N.B. Please note the slightly later time.** Meeting in-person from 18:00 for refreshments courtesy of RailEI for a 18:45 start for all. \nYou can also join the meeting virtually through Microsoft Teams. \nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/376498555195546?p=hxyfCIAOi45kwd8EGm \nMeeting ID: 376 498 555 195 546 \nPasscode: oU2jR9ac \nDial in by phone \n+44 20 3321 5213\,\,926597566# United Kingdom\, City of London \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 926 597 566# \nIf you are a RailEI member\, please book your space if would like this event to be automatically recorded in your CPD portfolio. \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE

SUMMARY:North Eastern Railway Engineers' Forum 2026 (NEREF)
DESCRIPTION:RailEI joins with the ICE\, IMechE\, IET\, IRSE and Furrer+Frey to offer an evening of presentations on cross-disciplinary topics of interest to anyone working in and around railway engineering. This year we welcome speakers from TRU\, Network Rail and Nexus on the usual broad range of subjects from our region. \nBuffet provided from 18:00. \nVenue details \nThe Priory Street Centre (Priory Street\, York\, YO1 6ET) is seven minutes from York railway station. Turn right from the station and stay on the right hand side of the road. When you can do so safely\, cross the road to pass through the medieval gateway\, Micklegate Bar. Priory Street is the next street on the right with the Priory Street Centre down the end on the left. \nThere is no parking there but there is a public car park in Nunnery Lane (YO23 1AA)\, just beyond Micklegate Bar in the opposite direction from the station (turning right at the traffic signals in front of Micklegate Bar if approaching from the Leeds direction) and five minutes from the Priory Street Centre. \nWe look forward to you joining us! \nRegister at bit.ly/neref2026 \n

SUMMARY:Establishing the Causes of a Flange Climb Freight Derailment
DESCRIPTION:Establishing the Causes of a Flange Climb Freight Derailment – a case study from Willesden High Level Junction in 2019\nNigel Shaw\, Postgraduate Researcher\, University of Sheffield\nRailEI Lunch & Learn\nRailway accident investigations play an essential role in helping the industry learn from incidents and support continuous improvements in safety. Derailments remain a significant safety concern in the railway industry and can involve complex interactions between infrastructure\, rolling stock and operational factors. \nUsing a freight derailment case study\, this presentation explores the evidence and investigative techniques used to understand the derailment mechanism and the contributory factors involved in the incident. Attendees will gain insight into how investigators evaluated information from multiple sources\, applied engineering analysis\, and developed an evidence-based understanding of what happened at Willesden High Level Junction in 2019. \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/319398760206487?p=4Rc3JvVugfm6IKQPbM \nMeeting ID: 319 398 760 206 487 \nPasscode: Qd73zB9o \nDial in by phone \n+44 20 3321 5213\,\,866049807# United Kingdom\, City of London \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 866 049 807# \nIf you are a RailEI member\, please book your space if would like this event to be automatically recorded in your CPD portfolio. \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE
