Another railway research strategy consultation document has been published - this time by consultants TRL on behalf of DafT.
It is, if anything, even worse than the TSSB/TSAG document featured in the February Informed Sources.
Here is the link.
Consultation is open until April.
Here are the questions posed by TRL which consultees might care to consider:
- Is the strategic focus right?
- Do you agree with key actions that come out of the report?
- Can we develop leadership for research in a fragmented industry?
- Can we strengthen the case for research in a difficult economic climate?
- Can we share knowledge and maintain the legacy/heritage knowledge in an industry with changing ownership?
- Can we be more effective in making use of technology developed in other industries?
- How do we make the rail industry a more comfortable place for innovation and research?
