Here, you’ll find exhibits ranging from tours through mobile maintenance trains’ to demonstrations of the latest thinking in biodiversity and innovation. The village is also heavily supported by ambassadors direct from NRs apprenticeship and graduate scheme and is guaranteed to bring to life the diverse ways of working and thinking Network Rail uses everyday to maintain the infrastructure.
"Network Rail is really pleased to continue to support Rail Live 2024. However, pre-election restrictions on public bodies mean that Network Rail won't be able to take part in any speaking slots this year. Our team, including Andrew Haines, Network Rail Chief Executive, will still attend in force.
The Network Rail Village will still have lots of exhibits across multiple zones, including safety, technology, and vehicle demos, so please do come and say hello. Our team are still pleased to speak to you, just not in a formal, recorded manor.
We're all looking forward to seeing you there!"
Network Rail is helping make the railway simpler, better and greener – and that includes finding solutions that work in tandem with nature. Listen to Network Rail experts talk about biodiversity - and find out about the part you can play.
From on-track technology to models and videos, Network Rail has plenty of ways to show off its new technology - both already available and in development. Find out how Network Rail is leading the way in using ‘tech’ in proactive asset and maintenance management - and see ground-breaking prototypes such as the new MkII high performance switch system.
With workshop facilities, an ability to carry rails and – importantly – provide protected cover to workers, Network Rail’s Mobile Maintenance Trains allow work to take place on running lines without the need to close adjacent tracks. Rail Live is pleased to welcome back one of Network Rail’s game-changing MMTs, after a popular previous visit in 2022.
However, these are not the only vehicles Network Rail is bringing to the show. A Road Rail Vehicle and electric road vehicles will be displayed at the village, while there is also the opportunity to get up close to a Class 153 Infrastructure Monitoring Train elsewhere on site.
Finally, and central to the Network Rail village the Supplier and Networking area is the perfect place to relax, meet and greet or even find out too how to become a supplier to Network Rail in Control Period 7, and play a role in helping the infrastructure owner be a collaborative, accessible and innovative client.
Rail Live was once again the premier railway exhibition to attend. Rolling stock, plant, people, techniques – always a showstopper! Rail Live is consistently the best opportunity for everyone in the railway family to widen their networks, knowledge and understanding of the rail industry.
Rail Live is a truly notable event for all people with a professional rail interest, not only those involved with rail plant and track working. Having RAIL take over the organisation and promotion of the show has made it possible for Rail Live to become a ‘Farnborough for the Railway’, and an event that is now well and truly in the international rail calendar.
Some impressive tech on display at the @RAIL #RailLive2023 today - including digital temporary speed restriction signs, composite platforms from and even a @BostonDynamics robot dog! (I have no idea whether the @BTPDogs met robodog...).
I would encourage you to get around and talk to as many people as you can, because in my visit I genuinely have spoken to people I would never have seen before. That’s one of the joys of this dynamic, and it’s why I’m a real passionate supporter of Rail Live.
Rail Live is an unmissable event for SMEs like us to connect with passionate industry leaders and suppliers. The event has become a staple in our calendar, and is a fantastic opportunity to incept exciting project collaborations and partnerships. We're highly anticipating this year's event, and look forward to taking in the diverse breadth of rail expertise on offer!
Rail Live is a key event for Thomas Graham as an industrial supplier, it is a great opportunity to exhibit our range of products to the rail industry, speak to key contacts, that under normal conditions wouldn’t be accessible and we have been able to exhibit our specialised calibrated lockers, which have been a great success with some sizeable orders.
Rail Live 2023 was Trough-Tec System’s and HIRD Group’s best Rail Live yet! It’s the only show where we can truly showcase and demonstrate our entire product portfolio in such a practical manner, and to such a diverse audience of customers and end-users.
