Stretching across the North of England, this key 76-mile Transpennine railway serves 23 stations, crosses over and dips under 285 bridges and viaducts, passes through six miles of tunnels, and crosses over 29 level crossings. Proposed improvements as will deliver a hard-working, reliable railway for passengers, allowing for trains with more seats, more services and faster journey times., In recent years the level of complexity and interdependencies across the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) have led to the need for a new Enterprise approach, which places integration at the heart of the delivery strategy. Whilst TRU represents the single largest programme of works within Network Rail and second only to HS2 on a national railway scale, the success of TRU is dependent on a number of adjacent or interfacing projects, for which the TRU Enterprise Management Team are not accountable. TRU is also leading the way in digital railway transformation for the North by introducing European Train Control System (ETCS) signalling technology. ETCS will replace traditional lineside signals with a digital technology on a screen inside train drivers cabs, which will increase frequency and reliability of trains. The Programme Integration and Digital Railway Directorates have created an exciting new Programme Controls Manager (PCM) role which has been established to support both the Programme Integration and Digital Railway Directors in developing effective programme and project controls by providing analytical support and coordinating a programme of communication with multiple stakeholders.
