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

SUMMARY:Earthworks\, Drainage & Off-Track - November 2026
DESCRIPTION:RailEI Earthworks\, Drainage & Off-Track Engineering Course\nProgramme aim\nThis course provides delegates with the knowledge\, understanding\, and insights necessary to manage the risks presented by earthworks\, drainage and associated ‘Off-Track’ railway infrastructure assets. \nClimate change\, asset ageing\, and external factors such as land use\, road traffic volumes and interfaces are changing the balance of risks associated with railway infrastructure. Continued safe operation of the railway requires these changes to be fully understood and integrated into the day to day operation and management of rail infrastructure assets. \nFor full details and to download a booking form CLICK HERE \n

SUMMARY:Advanced S&C Systems Engineering Mod 1 - February 2027
DESCRIPTION:RailEI Advanced Switch & Crossing Systems Engineering Course\nModule 1\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

SUMMARY:Major Projects and Programmes: Multidisciplinary Challenges and Engineering Judgement
DESCRIPTION:Major Projects and Programmes: Multidisciplinary Challenges and Engineering Judgement\nRailEI Technical Seminar\nMajor Projects and Programmes: Multidisciplinary Challenges and Engineering Judgement explores how large scale rail developments bring together civil\, electrical\, signalling\, operations and environmental teams under one programme. The seminar examines the competing pressures that arise when technical requirements\, budget constraints\, safety standards and stakeholder demands pull in different directions. It focuses on where engineering judgement becomes critical: making decisions with incomplete data\, balancing risk versus delivery timelines and integrating disciplines so the system works as a whole\, not just as separate parts. \nThrough case studies of complex rail upgrades and new builds\, speakers will unpack how experienced engineers navigate uncertainty\, challenging assumptions\, and choose the “least wrong” path when no perfect solution exists. \nThis Seminar will include opportunities for delegate interaction and participation\, offering facilitated discussions and Q&As. \nReady to be part of the conversation? Book now to advance your knowledge and understanding of the challenges facing track renewals. \nThis event contributes to CPD. \nRegistration with exhibitors from 08:30 for a 09:00 start. \nMembers £115   Non-members £215   Students £30 \nBOOK YOUR SPACE HERE
