Description

The project objective is to deliver a detailed feasibility assessment of MTB deployment on the GB mainline network, considering technical compatibility, application scenario and cost-benefit analysis.

The findings will inform:
• The content of the proposed Railway Group Standard on MTB for use in emergency (proposal 14/044).
• Discussion and decision by TOCs and NR routes on the suitability of MTB deployment for specific opportunities with specific fleets on specific routes.
• Cross-industry discussion and decision on whether it would be feasible and worth pursuing 'non-emergency use' of MTB.

The first two bullet points above are expected to deliver safety and performance improvements in the short term. The third and last bullet point could delivery more wide spread performance and also capacity benefits.
