A-Plant Rail has been recognised for its commitment to Network Rail's Rail Plant Performance (RPP) system with an award.

The company secured a Bronze Award in Network Rail's Route to Gold scheme.

Accepting the award on behalf of the company, A-Plant Rail Manager, Mark Hill said: "We're extremely proud to have received a bronze award and this prestigious accolade is testament to our Rail team's commitment to maintaining the highest possible standards in the sector.


"We closely monitor our performance through Network Rail's RPP system and are currently operating at over 98%."

Network Rail's Route to Gold programme is an awards-based performance measure of plant supplier reliability, aiming to increase performance and quality within the plant supply chain and embed a culture of continuous improvement within the rail industry.

James Helm, Network Rail's Plant Reliability Team Project Manager, commented: "We are delighted to have presented A-Plant Rail with a Bronze Award.

"They have shown a consistent approach to capturing dry hires through their Rail Desk with over 500 shifts now loaded and scored in the RPP system.

"The team is clearly customer-focused and with the support to fully integrate RPP across all of its depots, there is confidence of further progression.

"I look forward to supporting further improvement in the A-Plant Rail Route to Gold."
