The Central Rail Systems Alliance is responsible for delivering track led renewals for all disciplines covering the East, West and Midland Mainline routes. As part of the Alliance team who are responsible for delivery of all signalling design for plain line and S&C renewals over the next two Network Rail control periods (10 years).
