Feasibility StudiesNew Station Feasibility StudiesMany local authorities are interested in developing new stations, in order to achieve local targets for reducing road congestion and pollution. These require a comprehensive approach to analysis, including not only commercial and operational issues, but also the linkages between them, and the political and promotional activities required to achieve implementation.
Tourist Railway Feasibility StudiesA number of disused railways are under discussion for re-opening by organisations outside the main national railway. Assessments of economic viability need to be linked to the engineering feasibility of being able to construct an appropriate track layout, and an operational strategy which is workable. These may be severely limited by the land available, and liaison with town planners is often essential. Freight Feasibility StudiesIndustrial firms and logistics specialists may wish to consider changes to their current transport arrangements, considering the railway as an alternative. However, such firms may need guidance in dealing with Network Rail and freight train operators in a structured business planning process, a process the Consultancy can aid through its in-depth and practical knowledge.
New System Feasibility StudiesFrom time to time, the opportunity arises to examine the best technology for new transport demands, rather than simply extending existing systems. This requires consideration of the inherent characteristics of different transport systems, and planning to ensure that these benefits are maximised, integrating the conventional and the new where necessary. |
