Tackling the Challenges of Rail Modernisation - Webinar by Jonathan Leafe

Tackling the Challenges of Rail Modernisation - Webinar by Jonathan Leafe
 
The difference between ordinary and exceptional rail equipment often lies in the smallest details – the components passengers rarely see, but that determine whether systems function reliably day after day.
 
Access hardware like hinges, latches and fasteners may seem unremarkable, yet they play a decisive role in operational safety, passenger comfort and system reliability.
 
Watch Southco’s Jonathan Leafe explore how well-designed access hardware addresses the unintended consequences of rail modernisation, and learn:
 
  • How to ensure external rail panels are safe at high-speed
  • How access hardware components assist with passenger comfort
  • How balancing efficiency and security plays a key role in rail modernisation
  • What to consider when looking for sustainability
  • What key points to consider in simplifying, securing and sustaining your access hardware
