Project Overview

This study was carried out to assess how best to path down direction freight trains between the Midland Main Line (MML) and the proposed SRFI at Radlett.
In order to facilitate a new dual track rail connection from MML into the proposed SRFI, number of P-Way options were developed by Capita.
This work was undertaken by Softech in order to determine how the various freight trains can enter/exit the national network and accelerate to/decelerate from the appropriate speed, without adversely impacting following passenger trains.
Softech was asked to investigate into some further options from Signaling point of view to improve transit time/speed across the junction for the Down freight trains between the Midland Main line and the proposed SRFI at Radlett.
Softech produced the detailed report studying all the options on the basis of detailed timing calculations, TPWS assessment, Braking calculations and Simple risk assessment along with the sketches during GRIP 3 study.
