How many times have you heard, “We can’t put that in the report, it makes us look bad!”? For us at TYC, it's insanity (not to mention also costly) to engage a Planning Engineer for rail projects without rail experience. It's difficult to understand how someone with no rail site experience would be capable of grasping the challenges, the risks and the work schedule restrictions that the rail sector brings. With CP7 about to kick off properly, Thames Yarra Consulting is able to provide experienced multi-disciplined planning support with: ·     20+ years' rail experience ·     8 years' continuous site delivery experience (Trackwork, COSS, HS, Crane Controller & Engineering Supervisor) ·     17 years' Planning, Safe System of Work, GZAM/GZAC, Change Management, Programme Recovery, Claims Compilation & Defence Experience Invest at the front end rather than pay at the back end. #thamesyarraconsulting #rail #projectplanning #safetycritical #programmemanagement #programmanagement #posessionplanning #railsystems #constructionandengineeringmatters #construction #engineering #sustainability #collaborativeworking #innovation #experience #railplanning #strategicplanning #forensicplanning #constructionclaims

Mark Thomas is a doer—someone who genuinely puts in the effort and doesn’t just take the money and run. With CP7 just around the corner, I want to take a moment to highlight Thames Yarra Consulting (TYC) and the incredible value Mark and his team bring to the table. Mark's insight into rail projects comes not only from extensive technical know-how but from the real, hands-on experience of over 20 years in the rail sector. He’s not just a planner—he’s someone who has lived the challenges of rail site work: understanding every risk, every schedule restriction, and every nuance that comes with the territory. This depth of experience is something that’s often overlooked but becomes crucial when your project depends on delivering safe and efficient results. The thing I find remarkable about TVC is not just their experience—it’s their approach. They bring strong ethics, practical on-site knowledge, and an absolute dedication to getting things right from the start. Mark Thomas and his team have been through site delivery themselves, working hands-on with trackwork, COSS, HS, crane control, and engineering supervision. This isn’t just planning from an office; this is planning from the frontline. For those involved in the smaller packages related to CP7—the ones that often need a precise yet adaptable approach—I can’t recommend TYC highly enough. Mark understands that smaller workstreams often have unique constraints that demand experience-rich planning. TYC’s services are invaluable for ensuring that your tender, no matter the scale, gets off on the right foot with realistic scheduling, risk assessment, and mitigation that only comes from years in the industry. If you want someone who will be a true partner, ensuring you’re not just delivering but delivering with integrity, efficiency, and experience, I would suggest reaching out to Mark at TYC. Their support in planning, Safe System of Work, change management, and claims compilation could make a genuine difference in how you approach CP7. Investing in the right expertise now can save so much down the line—cost, stress, and time. It’s the kind of support that smaller contractors, in particular, can benefit from to avoid the common pitfalls of rail projects. Mark and TYC are the partners you want in your corner. Feel free to connect Mark Thomas or reach out to me if you’d like an introduction. I’m 100% confident Thames Yarra Consulting experience will resonate with anyone serious about getting it right in CP7. #Thanesyarraconsulting #CP7 #ukrailconstruction #leadersthatdothings

🧖Humera Ma'am, Meeting with out station clients was good, said the project leaders. 🤱I asked, What did the client's say? 🧖Project leasder asked, are you interested in doing other categories job, which we had done for one new client? 🤱I asked, do you have the details? 🧖Project leader said, It will be shared by the officer soon. And for quotes, they said, quotes will be good enough and suitable for both of us. 🤱I said,, Don't say anything now. Let's wait for details.

That's the importance of planning and team work....

Whether it’s scheduled track maintenance or a major infrastructure upgrade, contractors can face a number of challenges unique to the rail industry. These can range from possession periods and time constraints, the associated cost, the safety of workers, and the reliability of the solutions needed to complete a job. By working with an experienced temporary works supplier, you can feel reassured that works can be completed safely, correctly and efficiently – without snags.
