Client: Tramlink Nottingham LimitedProject: NET Safety Assurance Review

xantaadmin — Thu, 17 Oct 2013 10:48:53 +0000

Tramlink Nottingham Limited (TNL), as concessionaire for NET services, manages safety in accordance with the Network Safety Management Plan.

The Network Safety Management Plan defines, among other things, how hazards are identified and managed as illustrated in this extract from the Plan.

Work on Line 2 infrastructure and on acquisition of new tram vehicles is being undertaken by Taylor Woodrow Alstom (TWA), a Joint Venture of Vinci and Alstom, delivering these to TNL through a design and construction contract.

A review was required of arrangements associated with acceptance of infrastructure and vehicles in this context. Tramlink Nottingham hired Xanta to perform this review, due to its experience in this area and knowledge of the NET system, having worked for TNL previously.
