Cost cutting in Light Rail Maintenance

5 methods of cost cutting are considered. I have a different perspective to these methods. I would say that each will have a positive short-term effect on the maintenance budget and each will have a negative long-term effect.

Accelerating Maintenance Performance in Light Rail

The concept of a priority system is gaining momentum, as its purpose is to drive scheduling and also mark priorities in the context of coordinating. A systematic process with carefully selected projects and allocated resources will benefit the light rail industry and accelerate its development and growth.

Strengthening Reliability

With light rail networks getting busier and faster, there is considerable pressure exerted on the existing infrastructure to deliver; hence, there is an urgent need for increased inspection and proactive maintenance of light rail assets.

Australian High Speed Train Concept video

Posted by Louis Cripps on 7:51 AM

Here is the concept for the Australian High Speed train A-HSV.  Worth a second to check out.

Of corse I am ready for some details, I would like to see a standard platform start to take shape so that we can decrease costs and improve reliability as well as performance.   This is one of the better looking concepts to my taste.  I do like the use of what looks like the LED lighting on the front of the vehicle but I am also interested in the interior layout.  At first glance I like the seating configuration however from a practical standpoint they will need to be tightened up.   I can't wait until more details are released, what an amazing opportunity.  High Speed Rail in Australia would be a great thing.

Special thanks to the people and company HASSELL for a job well done and for sharing it with the world.
