answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2023 answer text <p>Network Rail, in their capacity as the infrastructure manager for Britain’s railways, are undertaking a number of actions to reduce instances of signalling equipment failures on the network. This includes replacing old and obsolete equipment as part of their renewals work, undertaking reliability analysis to identify assets that are failing prematurely to enable targeted remedial action, applying predictive technology to identify the risk of failures, monitoring trends to identify underperforming assets so these can be replaced, and reviewing staff training to ensure staff are in the best position to manage and mitigate signalling failures. Moving to digital signalling, such as on the East Coast Digital Programme, will also lead to increased infrastructure reliability.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 14/09/2023 11:08:11 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
