What do Siemens Rail Automation UK do?
• Network Rail’s biggest signalling supplier
• We design, build, integrate, test & commission
signalling systems.
• Signalling ensures that trains are kept apart.
• We build to SIL4 standards (the same as Nuclear
Power)
• Our systems are distributed over miles of track
• Our systems identify where trains are, predict where
they will be and minimise delays where possible.
