The group includes Rod Anderson, Professor David Richards and Professor William Powrie, alongside their research colleagues and students. Over more than two decades, the group has advanced the resilience, efficiency and sustainability of the UK rail network, connecting research with education and practical industry impact. Its work has improved understanding of how ageing rail infrastructure can be maintained, helped save billions of pounds of public money, and drawn on expertise from the UKCRIC National Infrastructure Laboratory, the Tony Davies High Voltage Laboratory and the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>FEPS was also represented by two runners-up in the Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise category: Professor Nicola Symonds and nC2, and the Cryogenics Team.
