About
The difference between ordinary and exceptional rail equipment often lies in the smallest details – the components passengers rarely see, but that determine whether systems function reliably day after day.

Access hardware like hinges, latches and fasteners may seem unremarkable, yet they play a decisive role in operational safety, passenger comfort and system reliability. In this webinar, Jonathan will explore how well-designed access hardware addresses the unintended consequences of rail modernisation.

Attendees will learn:
-How to ensure external rail panels are safe at high-speed
-How access hardware components assist with passenger comfort
-How balancing efficiency and security plays a key role in rail modernisation
-What to consider when looking for sustainability
-What key points to consider in simplifying, securing and sustaining your access hardware
