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\nThe investigation of railway accidents provides a valuable opportunity to identify learning that can improve the safety and performance of the railway. These investigations often highlight the need for further research to develop a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to an accident\, enabling the industry to introduce effective mitigation measures. Achieving reliable learning requires a systematic understanding of the causal factors that led to the event and how they combined to result in the accident. \nDerailments remain one of the most significant railway safety concerns and can occur through a variety of mechanisms. Flange climb derailments are among the most common\, while also being some of the most technically complex and challenging to understand. \nThis case study provides an overview of the processes and evidence used to investigate and determine the immediate causes of a flange climb derailment. It explores the sources of evidence relating to the track\, vehicle and operational subsystems involved\, and explains how testing and analysis were used to understand the interaction between these elements and identify the factors that led to the derailment. \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

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:Railways in Ireland: Building Resilience in Railway Systems and Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Railways in Ireland: Building Resilience in Railway Systems and Infrastructure\nRailEI Technical Seminar\n\n\nRailEI held its first full day technical seminar in Ireland in May 2024 which was a resounding success. We are therefore planning a return visit and our next Seminar will take place in Dublin this October. \nWhilst the ambition for rail across the island of Ireland remains buoyant\, the need for resiliency within all aspects of the current system is paramount.

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. \nMeeting in-person from 17:00 for refreshments courtesy of RailEI for a 17:45 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:UEEIV: Railway Forum Krakow\, Poland
DESCRIPTION:UEEIV\nRailway Forum Krakow\, Poland\nResilience meets Technology – New Challenges for European Railways\nDates: 5 – 6 November 2026 \nLocation: Krakow\, Poland \nVenue: Qubus Hotel\, Krakow\, Poland \nOrganisers: \nUnion of European Railway Engineer Associations (UEEIV) \nSITK – Railway Division (Polish Association of Railway Engineers) \nTOPIC \nDigitalisation Automation and AI in Railway Infrastructure and Rolling Stock \nThe world has been changing dramatically over the last ten years. The fragile equilibrium of the past is over. Every industry must prepare for new challenges. Artificial Intelligence\, cybercrimes\, sabotage\, climate change – life is no longer predictable. \nIn Europe\, railways play a key role in the transportation system. That is why their resilience is becoming more and more important. But resilience cannot be achieved by strategy alone – it needs solid engineering\, intelligent technology\, and fresh minds. \nDetailed Information and Registration

SUMMARY:Designers vs Contractors: Can We Work Better Together?
DESCRIPTION:Richard Wales\, Director Consultancy Services\, Andromeda Engineering\nRailEI Lunch & Learn\nThe presentation will provide details of ongoing research being conducted with more than 30 senior rail industry figures with experience in leadership positions delivering complex multidisciplinary rail projects across the world. The concerns they highlighted regarding the relationship between designers and contractors include misaligned objectives\, lack of trust\, deteriorating levels of capability and conflict that can be described using social identity theory. They also provide hope by highlighting successful projects that have had a clear guiding mind for technical decision making\, approaches that reduced conflict\, aligned objectives and used modern technology to achieve successful outcomes. \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/338964799353541?p=3ScOR5yTUVGdkN9ePO \nMeeting ID: 338 964 799 353 541 \nPasscode: 9kH6h2q8 \nDial in by phone \n+44 20 3321 5213\,\,411702673# United Kingdom\, City of London \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 411 702 673# \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:Advanced S&C Systems Engineering Mod 2 - November 2026
DESCRIPTION:RailEI Advanced Switch & Crossing Systems Engineering Course\nModule 2\nProgramme aim\nPoints\, Switches and Crossings (P&C\, S&C) are critical to railway performance\, yet maintenance of these assets often lack complete coordination between the track and signalling teams. The Advanced S&C Systems Engineering course bridges this gap. Equipping engineers with the knowledge and tools to optimise reliability\, reduce failures and improve safety and train performance. \nThe course will contain case studies of how to run effective PLANNED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE regimes for S&C and how to identify and analyse potential failure modes for track and signalling components. The course will be 60% track theory and 40% signalling theory. \nEnhance understanding of signalling and track design and maintenance principles and interfaces. \nOne course\, two weeks. \nFor full details and to download a booking form CLICK HERE \n
