Spotlight on Fatigue Risk: Recognising and addressing fatigue risk is essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of rail operations. By ensuring robust systems are in place and that all employees are aware of available resources, organisations can foster a culture of safety and continued learning. https://brnw.ch/21wPuWy #spotlightonsafety

The Cowden crash of 1994 was a pivotal moment for railway safety. Human error and lack of safety systems were key factors. The investigation's recommendations led to significant safety improvements, including the introduction of cab-secure radio and ETCS. #RailSafety #CowdenCrash #RightTrack https://brnw.ch/21wPuQS

Achieving a net zero value chain by 2050 is a strategic aim of the Sustainable Rail Blueprint. Quantifying emissions from the supply chain is an essential step in tracking, predicting and reducing them and enabling the rail industry to contribute to the national net zero target. To support this aim, we have produced guidance for ‘Supply chain carbon data collection and reporting’ accompanied by a carbon data collection and calculation spreadsheet. The guidance and spreadsheet will help rail organisations request, collect and calculate green house gas emissions in a more streamlined, consistent, and accurate way.
