Balfour Beatty named Network Rail's Supplier of the Year

Balfour Beatty was named Network Rail^s supplier of the year at the rail operator^s first annual Partnership Awards ceremony last night. Balfour Beatty also picked up the safety award for its work carried out 120m above the Firth of Forth while refurbishing the Forth rail bridge.

Birse Rail won in the environmental sustainability category for emergency embankment stabilisation at Stoke Gifford using recycled ballast that had to be delivered to a site in the heart of a residential district.

Community engagement award went to the Severnside Community Rail Partnership and First Great Western; good lineside neighbour winner was Volkerfitzpatrick; and May Gurney won the heritage award for strengthening and refurbishment of Newcastle^s High Level Bridge.


Edit note: my emphasis in italics for those awards with local involvement. C.  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Well done to SCRP and FGW▸ (First Great Western). Well deserved for the improvements on the Severn Beach Line, although Bristol City Council also deserve credit for stumping up some of the costs involved in improving the service.
