Network Rail's High-Output Operations Cut Costs and Boost Efficiency.
Network Rail is using high-output track renewals to keep up with increasing maintenance demands due to higher traffic levels. These operations, which include track renewal and ballast cleaning, make up 15% of Network Rail's track renewals and are expected to increase in the next three years. Despite a £90 million investment in new equipment, Network Rail is saving money compared to traditional methods. The creation of a central operating base is crucial for this high-output strategy.
