We are very happy after another great week of progress for our team and technology. In 3 overnight line blocks we deployed 770 of our U-Beacon universal locator beacons on 17.6km of mainline track, all the way from Llandeilo to Llandovery stations. In a change to normal railway practice, there was zero design work ahead of arriving at site. This served to eliminate the major portion of established signalling project costs. Instead, an as-built design record was generated in real-time by our proprietary automated survey trolley as the install progressed. Verification will be performed by in-service trains, saving further time and cost. Big thanks to Network Rail Wales and Borders for arranging our access, providing staff to keep us safe, and enabling everything to progress so smoothly.

Fantastic to see this innovation moving from concept to deployment. Great work from the team at Universal Signalling. This is exactly the kind of progress we set out to enable through the Innovation Acceleration Forum. Proud to see momentum building. Looking forward to attending the live demonstration in a couple of weeks Sam Bemment, Stephen Head
Great to see the Universal Signalling product moving forward quickly Sam Bemment 👌
This is amazing progress!
Leigh Gribbon Tommy Gore MCIRO would this be something worth a look for any detailed timing work in problem areas?
