At HARTING, our slogan ‘Pushing Performance’ challenges us to constantly innovate our products and solutions to help deliver advancements in the transportation industry. For example, there is currently a drive towards weight reduction within the rail vehicle construction sector, as manufacturers strive to improve efficiencies by minimising energy consumption.

42 RSN Derby 2019 RSN Derby 2019 43 – UK & Ireland signalling success with British innovation & German engineering

Fenix Rail Systems has delivered a number of highly successful signalling projects throughout the UK. The key has been a close collaboration with our German colleagues, based in Sprockhövel. This has produced a level of innovation that hasn’t been seen before in the UK rail depot industry.

The Tie-Fenlock system which was first installed in the UK at the Central Rivers Depot in 2000 and has since established a track record of outstanding reliability. It is imperative that train movements into and out of a depot are as smooth as possible. This innovative control system assists the depot operator and optimises the operation of the depot. The system is cost effective and has a record for reliability and low maintenance costs. Even the most complex depots can be managed by a single operator due to its centralised control features. We have developed a bespoke technical interface in several UK depots, and the system is currently operational in:

Central Rivers, Northam Immingham Burton-on- Depot Port Trent

26 points, signals 10 points, signals 10 points, signals and axle counters; and axle counters; and axle counters;

Golders Green Morden Banbury Depot Depot Depot

29 points, signals 32 points, signals 7 points, signals, axle and axle counters; and axle counters; counters and interfaces

Whatever your signalling requirements, Fenix has it covered. See us at Rolling Stock Network Derby Stand N5 18 Shottery Brook Office Park Timothy’s Bridge Road Stratford-upon-Avon CV37 9NR
