Winter wonderplant

23.02.12

Despite an unseasonably warm October, cold weather is on its way. And if the past two years are anything to go by, the UK is on-track to expect another extreme winter.

After last year’s winter chaos the rail sector has a lot of making up to do, with passengers remembering service disruptions, cancellations and a general sense of bad organisation.

However, forewarned is forearmed, and it is fair to say that the industry seems more prepared to deal with whatever the weather can throw at us this year and maintain a good service.

However, what good is it if the trains are running, but winter maintenance does not extend beyond the track? If passengers can’t get onto the platform safely, is there going to be anyone there to get on the trains?

As well as access roads, it is also important to ensure that the winter maintenance of car parks and pavements is taken care of as these will not usually fall under the remit of the local authority.

Train and station operators find it more cost-effective to hire in specialist equipment from companies such as the Quattro Group, rather than have their own plant. Usually, this consists of a base carrier vehicle which can be fitted with various attachments.
