The LRSSB’s latest update to their Business Plan has shown that they remain on the right track to improve safety on the UK’s tramways and light railways with a series of landmark projects progressing as the plan enters its final year.
Carl Williams, LRSSB Chief Executive, said: “Since the plan was first launched in the summer of 2022, we’ve achieved many of our initial ambitions, including the launch of an enhanced accident and incident reporting database and the development of an integrated and comprehensive risk management and mitigation framework.
“As we enter the final year of the plan, our focus will be on taking these initiatives to the next level while continuing to engage with stakeholders to better understand the challenges they face. Our acclaimed sector risk model will also continue to evolve, alongside reviews of existing guidance covering all aspects of light rail safety and the publication of new standards as they are required by the sector.”
The Business Plan also includes a commitment to lead on research into new technologies with the potential to revolutionise tramway safety, including cutting edge obstacle avoidance systems.
