Dealing with
climate change
on the railway
Tomorrow’s Railway and Climate Change
Adaptation (TRaCCA) is a research
programme which explores how to increase
the resilience of the GB railway in response to
anticipated changes in key climate variables.
This will produce a knowledge base, assessing
the likely impact of climate change and
increased frequency of extreme weather
events on the UK railway.

The system-wide approach will inform
investment priorities from CP6, forming the
foundation for a 20 year investment strategy.
Phase 1 has provided a comprehensive
knowledge review and knowledge gap
analysis. Phase 2 is investigating knowledge
of climate change vulnerabilities and support
tools to increase resilience of the GB railway.
