Infrarail is the biggest event of its kind, predicted to draw in over 4,000 attendees from across the industry. Figures from the last event indicated that 64% of these were from the director level.

Zuken’s software is already being used by various rail infrastructure and rolling stock providers in the UK, but for the first time the company is making a strategic proactive push into the industry – with attendance at Infrarail forming part of this.

The UK rail industry is amid massive growth, with significant investment scheduled over the next five years in infrastructure and rolling stock. Network Rail, operator of the country’s national railway infrastructure, is to spend £28.5 billion over the next five years from April 2009, including £7.6 billion on network expansion projects.

In addition, London’s £15.9 billion Crossrail project is going ahead, as is the £5.5 billion Thameslink scheme. Investments in the capital also include modernisation of the London Underground system and creation of the London Overground network.

Scotland too is gaining major improvements to its rail and public transport networks, with lines being reopened, a new link to Glasgow airport planned and work under way on Edinburgh’s light rail system.

In the longer term, large-scale main line electrification and the construction of new high-speed lines are increasingly viewed as essential steps in developing Britain’s transport infrastructure.
