Yorkshire rail specialist upgrades safety technology at UK's largest rail franchise

Selhurst is the last in a trio of upgrades for GTR that has seen Zonegreen replace obsolete protective technology with its most sophisticated system. The first two projects were at depots in Battersea and Brighton.

Seven roads in the depot’s inspection shed are now protected by the latest version of DPPS, which creates safe zones for workers whilst they work in areas of risk from moving vehicles, powerful machinery and high voltage electricity.

Christian Fletcher, Zonegreen’s head of engineering, said: “Selhurst is a busy depot on the London to Brighton mainline, so it was vital our upgrades were carried out with minimum disruption. We are pleased to say this was achieved and DPPS is now keeping staff at the facility safe from the many serious threats they face at work every day.”

He added: “We have created a standardised product that uses the latest technology to mitigate the margin for human error, which is so often the root cause of accidents in depots.”
