THIS TALK IS NOT AT THE USUAL TIME!

CLASS 345 – THE NEW TRAINS FOR CROSSRAIL

Mark Ellis, Bombardier and Phil Hinde, Crossrail

The Crossrail project demonstrates that railway engineering is an
innovative and growing area of activity that can provide excellent
long-term prospects for varied and technically demanding careers. Here
£14.8Bn of infrastructure investment in tunnelling, new stations,
electrification, and automated control systems is being topped up with
65 new 200 metre-long trains based at a state of the art maintenance
depot with a lifetime vehicle maintenance contract utilising the
latest in remote condition monitoring technology.

This talk focuses on Bombardier’s new Class 345 Trains which are to be
introduced progressively, on routes crossing London between Reading
and Heathrow in the West and Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the East,
between 2017 and 2019.

This event is free of charge and open to all, with a lecture starting
at 19:00. It will be preceded by informal careers advice with
refreshments from 18:00, which will continue after the lecture. This
event is jointly organised by EC3 and the IMechE Railway Division,
South West Centre.
