This technology ensures the physical safety of trackside personnel through powered derailers, controlled by road end panels, establishing secure working zones.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the DPPS seamlessly interfaces with Gosforth&#8217;s signalling system, permitting vehicle movements only when it is entirely safe, streamlining train routing in and out of the depot, and eliminating time-consuming stop-starts.<\/p>\n<p>This system is intricately interconnected with various third-party equipment, including high-level gantries, cranes, wheel lathes and jacks, safeguarding against damage and protecting staff from potential injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-between lg:block\">In addition to these safety measures, Zonegreen has introduced a treadle warning system on the underfloor cleaning road at Gosforth. This system promptly alerts workers about approaching train movements, enabling them to swiftly relocate to a secure area. Moreover, Zonegreen has implemented its Depot Manager SCADA suite of software, which offers a comprehensive graphical representation of the depot&#8217;s safety measures and maintains a permanent record of all activities for enhanced oversight.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"h-32 md:h-48 flex-shrink-0\">\n<p>Christian Fletcher, Zonegreen\u2019s head of engineering, commented: <em>\u201cWe have a longstanding relationship with Volker Fitzpatrick, having worked together for many years on notable projects such as the Intercity Express depots and it has been a pleasure to carry out this latest installation.\u00a0<\/em><em>Gosforth is now a world-class facility that will not only transform how trains are maintained but thanks to our tried and tested technology, will also be a sector leader in the creation of a safe, modern working environment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The \u00a370 million redevelopment project in Gosforth is in full swing, gearing up for the arrival of 46 new Stadler trains, scheduled to commence service on the Nexus Tyne and Wear Metro later this autumn.
