Plant and Electrical Maintenance

This chapter of my web page looks at the maintenance required to keep plant equipment in full working order.Here we will see what routine maintenance is carried out by Network Rail's contractors and look at the working practices carried out on the ground.

In this chaptrer, we will be looking at switch heating; both gas and electric, swing bridges and tuntables. Not only will the mainteance practice be looked at, but I will also look into some of the theory.
