Supplier Day 24/04/19 - Good train regulation practice in an 'on time' railway

RSSB is holding a supplier day on 24/04/19 from 16:00 to 17:00 at our offices in London prior to running a competitive tender for the following requirement.

RSSB requires a supplier to undertake research to quantify how good train regulation practice supports the industry transition to CP6 metrics. This should define and test good train regulation practice for an 'on time' railway. This is envisaged to enable the development of a toolkit and/or good practice guide to support staff to create/modify train regulation policies and apply these policies in practice. For more details please see the attached draft specification.

The purpose of the supplier day is to:

• Provide an outline of the project proposal

• Provide interested suppliers an opportunity to discuss, understand and inform the research specification

Suppliers should be prepared to discuss the following:

• What data and information would suppliers require access to in order to:

o Understand good train regulation practice from existing/previous trials modifying train regulation policies o Undertake performance modelling of the characteristics that underpin good train regulation practice, to assess the applicability and transferability of these on the wider network o Test the association between capacity utilisation and different train regulation thresholds

• What are the challenges and barriers to delivering this work? What enablers would support successful delivery of the project?

• What is the suppliers estimate of effort required to deliver the project?

If you would like to attend, please email …@rssb.co.uk with 'T-1178 Supplier Day' in the heading.

Please note that due to space restrictions, two (2) representatives will be permitted per organisation.
