Today was an impromptu #VideoBlog (Vlog) day........ I spent a couple of hours this afternoon with our Network Rail 'Wales and Borders' #IntelligentInfrastructure team in Cardiff. And it was high time that the #SelfieStick and #WirelessMicrophones were put into action! We remotely monitor thousands of railway assets across our railway: Switch & Crossing layouts, track circuits, axle counters, power systems, air conditioning, coolers, points heating, flood risk sites, drainage systems, security systems, cables, track geometry, earthworks, structures and more....... Why do we do this? To keep the railway safer, more predictable, more reliable and to better understand our assets in order to optimise our asset inspection, maintenance and renewals programmes. It was good to meet the team, to chat through the progress being made, to see the latest assets being monitored and to talk through our next trials and future ideas. Nicola, our #ReliabilityImprovementSpecialist lead, and I decided to do an impromptu Video Blog and nailed it in a single take. Thanks to Nicola Morgan and the team for the visit today! Cheers Nick. PS: I have now completed the upload of my whole back catalogue of video blogs (100s of them) here: https://lnkd.in/eXaxy2Hh #RailwayFamily #IntelligentInfrastructure #ReliableRailway #TrackWorkerSafety #PredictAndPrevent #RiskBasedMaintenance #TheNicolaAndNickShow #OneTakeWonders #NetworkRailNick #LifeIsBetterInOrange
