Hi Dan, you'll need PTS certificates to work trackside, ie within 2m of a live track.

 

We're a contractor to one of the rail franchises, don't touch trackside work - just concentrate on access roads & car parks.

I signed up couple of years back after they emailed me to become a subcontractor, got all signed up paperwork done and Iv never had a days work out of them. We do the snow ploughing though. I'm not sure if it's a strategy to get as many men on there books to help bid for work.

I've just done 7 months work for them on the rail around the Stafford area, probably one of the best rail contractors I've worked for, must say I have worked for some rough bastards mind ha ha 😁

3 metres for on or near the line, 1.2m on platforms, in practice you need PTS as a minimum for any lineside work.

Never worked through ground control! Done a lot through QTS! But GC seem to be taking the rail work by the balls!!

Openspaceman - I stand corrected. Just going my what it said on the station licence application forms I have to complete for EVERY station on the franchise network...🙃
