我们刚刚在埃塞克斯克拉顿海上地区完成了一个大型项目,将信号系统带入21世纪。
The vital upgrade will give you more reliable journeys. How?
Our teamhas installed a new signalling system,它提供了培训他们需要安全地向前移动的信息。它取代了维多利亚时代的设备,它使用了机械杠杆和粘贴来改变信号并控制点,允许列车在轨道之间切换。现在,新系统从科尔切斯特的动力信号盒中控制。
The powered signal box works much like a state-of-the-art Rail Operating Centre (ROC), where our people can more efficiently control signalling over large areas, but at a more local level.
Elsewhere inour Anglia route,我们最近从旧的机械互锁区域转移到Colchester的信号控制。在这里,我们可以集中信令并可能将其移动到未来的ROC。
The new signalling system will compliment train operatorGreater Anglia新的火车舰队。
这是数字项目的细分......
£37m: Our investment at Clacton-on-Sea in giving you better services.
1891: The year the existing signalling system's lever frame dated from. Other equipment in the area dated from 1958.
500米: The length of our newly laid track. The new track layout will mean more reliable services and less disruption to your journeys.
12 renewed signals:我们用LED使用固态互锁系统现代化的信号系统。
12重建点: These bits of track, are now power operated and linked to the new signalling system.
23 days:How many we spend on intensive works to carry out the upgrade. The early preparation works began in the winter of 2019 and continued throughout last year.
四年:How many we spent planning and delivering the project.
项目管理助理amirParekh表示:“重要的是要确保支持我们的运营商的信号系统适合目的,并提供了促进我们集体雄心的功能和灵活性,以便首先将我们的乘客提供乘客,并提供铁路适合21stcentury.”
还有什么是新的?
A hydraulic buffer– a type buffer stop that uses hydraulics to absorb the energy of an incoming train.
This kind of buffer is novel to the area and will be implemented in its proposed configuration for the first time, if approved.
阿米尔说:“这已收到资产管理支持,因为该地区内部的这种技术具有更广泛的潜在应用,也许是业务的其他地方。”
