SCOPE OF WORKS

​

  • ​The Birmingham New Street Area Resignalling Scheme is a Network Rail funded signalling renewal scheme with associated track and enhancement works. The scheme will renew the signalling equipment & system controlled by the existing Birmingham New Street Power Signal Box. Birmingham New Street handles approximately 80 per cent of the daily total services to Birmingham, including long distance trains from Euston to the north, services from the south and the south-west to Scotland, Newcastle and Manchester/Liverpool and the east-west services to the East Midlands, East Anglia and North, West and South Wales. The station serves over 31 million people every year and is a key central hub for both national and regional services. The frequency of equipment usage is now deemed beyond what the system was designed for. Some of the New Street PSB signalling equipment was commissioned in 1966 and will be over 50 years old by time of its renewal. The system is now managing levels of traffic which were unimaginable when the system was commissioned.
