Great to see this collaboration across two of our delivery partners VolkerRail Ltd and Network Rail as we round off our first year, demonstrating one of our core behaviours of 'We Are One Team'.
On Friday 28th March I visited the track renewals project near Windsor being completed by VolkerRail Ltd as part of the Southern Renewals Enterprise within Network Rail’s Southern Region. It was great to carry out the visit with Ross Briddon, Aaron Bicknell (VR Project Manager) and Kevin Hoar. The works had started the week before and the team were in the final finishing stages before clearing site and testing. It was good to hear and see Aaron and Kevin working so well together and closely aligned, as whilst Aaron was working for our Track Delivery Partner and Kevin working for Network Rail’s Southern Region, through the collaboration encouraged by the Southern Renewals Enterprise they were totally aligned to work as one to deliver the best outcome for the railway and our passengers. As we finish the first Year of CP7 and the first Year of the Southern Renewals Enterprise, like any new relationship it has had its challenges, but as we start Year 2 I am confident the Enterprise will deliver the benefits of improved integration and resulting efficiencies. Let Year 2 be the year of intergration and efficiency! Liz Baldwin Mark Killick Mark Goodall Tom McNamee Paul Jones
