You can of course just decide to turn up and pay your entry fee on the day, but I am looking to see if there is a group of people interested from an IRSE Exam perspective and thus want to join in with the Chippenham Study Group, for which I have set up a poll- https://doodle.com/poll/supgbihv9sy7avhd 

The BBQ (nominal cost) is not for the general public but for the organisers, exhibitors and invited guests which certainly can include the Study Group- we do need to have a good idea of numbers in advance so if you are interested then complete the poll accordingly.]]>

The signalbox became redundant in February after some 48 years service signalling trains on the Great Western Main Line and will be relocated to be within a few hundred yards of Thames Valley Signalling Centre which has replaced it and many of its fellow Henry Williams domino panels and E10k Route Relay technology.

See details at:
http://www.swindonpanel.org.uk/2016/03/0...-30-april/

It will be quite a time before it becomes "operational" again when connected to a computer simulator, but plenty of opportunities to get involved in achieving that next step.]]>

I would recommend the area called Charlottenberg around Kurfurstendamm Road. There are plenty of reasonably priced hotels and the area has good bars, shopping and other entertainment.

The Majestic hotel in this area offers rooms and breakfast at a very goos price.

I would book early as Saturday nights appears to be the busiest night for hotels with people from the country coming for a weekend in Berlin.]]>

About this event

Delivering complex projects is a big enough challenge before the additional complexity of the railway environment and industry is added to the mix. Often different stakeholders have different priorities and within delivery teams the world of the project manager can be quite different to the world of the engineers.

We have previous had presentations on applying systems engineering to railway projects. A systems approach can also be applied with advantage to the overall management arrangements for delivering projects ]]> Link to register
