Project Outline
The Digital Railway Programme initiate each of the digital projects across the UK. This includes seeking business case approval from the Treasury, procurement events, ongoing provision of expert guidance where required and ensuring lessons learnt and best practice are shared across the portfolio.
Since May 2017, Mercury3 Consult has provided a range of resources with previous Digital Railway experience (on Cambrian Railway and East Coast). This has included an engineering manager, programme manager, project interface lead, project manager and planner and business change and operations specialists. These individuals have embedded with the Network Rail staff to form a truly collaborative team, despite being geographically dispersed.
