Rolling stock iniatives
RODL has provided project management for a variety of new rolling stock (class
180 and 185).
In addition to the development of a Hazard Log and subsequent assistance in
removing, or controlling all associated risks, RODL has also advised clients
on ‘Stepping’ distance exceedances and correlation of the optimum platform
stopping position.
In doing so, RODL has provided clients with comprehensive risk based data-base
including thousands of pictures of all platforms associated with the new rolling
stock.

of new traction/driver manuals and operating arrangements.
This work included the development and validation of a simplified brake continuity
