Question to Martin Batty - are block joints to be renewed in Platforms 6&9? Action – MB to advise
–
Question from Audrey McArthur – when are timetabled services due to start? FSR replied – hopefully from June 2007, but the timeline for
driver training is very tight (2 weeks), so Project Team / TIE / EWS / FSR need to review – so a September date may be more realistic..
–
Draft timetable needed by NR asap as there are Network Change aspects that need to be progressed.
–
Martin Batty – all to note that Stirling Middle Renewal may need to be undertaken in 2008. All Operators requested that this work be
brought forward to coincide with SAK works. NR – this will be considered but is likely to be very challenging, particularly re. design
timescales and compatibility with SAK works.
