❓ What if there was a safer way to manage worksites on the railway?

Over the weekend, we partnered with Tended to pilot their Virtual Worksite Marker Board technology at our Argyle Street site - the first deployment of its kind on the North & East route.

The trial demonstrated how digital solutions can significantly improve safety by reducing exposure to risk on the infrastructure. We saved an estimated 7.2km of walking, eliminated a minimum of 14 phone calls, and also extended our work window by around 18%.

As early adopters, we’re proud to work alongside innovators like Tended to test new technology in real-world conditions and continue raising the bar for safety across our sites.
