Project Case Studies

The real-world benefits of support delivered by LRSSB are highlighted in this series of case studies. Also available to download in PDF format, they illustrate the scope and success of some of our recent collaborative projects.

LRSSB campaign boosts pedestrian safety in Nottingham

A bold pedestrian safety campaign developed by the LRSSB is having a positive impact on tramways across the UK, but its roll-out in one English city has helped the operator of NET (Nottingham Express Transit) to meet a series of unique challenges. Based on the findings of extensive research, a targeted approach has ensured the campaign delivered maximum impact, particularly during special events in the city.

Skills Hub revolutionising light rail training and development

An ambitious project aiming to standardise and streamline training and development for light rail operators is delivering impressive results as an increasing number of networks embrace the Light Rail Safety and Standard Board’s SkillsHub platform. Edinburgh Trams was among the first operators to adopt the system and is already seeing significant benefits in terms of competency, efficiency and skills development.

LRSSB project driving tramway crossing safety

Reducing the risk of collisions with pedestrians at non-motorised user crossings (NMUs) is one of the biggest safety challenges facing tramway operators, and a pioneering initiative has already made significant progress in addressing the issue. Led by the LRSSB, the project demonstrates the organisation’s ability to work in partnership with private companies, academics and stakeholders to develop effective ‘real world’ solutions to the leading risks faced by individual operators and the wider light rail sector.
