Seconds away for Scottish clocks contract Track Safe Telecom (TST), the South Wales-based industry leader for rail industry telecoms and safety services, has clocked up a major new contract for FirstScotrail. The Cardiff-based business and one of the Welsh region’s fastest growing companies since being established in 2001, has recently completed the installation of new generation digital clock displays for the First Scotrail, the current Public Operator of the Year. The First Scotrail stations installed by TST that are benefiting the new Digital Clocks are Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Inverkeithing and Bathgate were all installed on time, to budget. The project installation was complemented by TST’s ability to provide additional service which included survey, influence on the design, electrical testing to BS7671 (NIC EIC Approved) and all additional containment and civil engineering with minimal disruption to First Scotrail’s staff and customers. TST Signalling & Telecommunications Director, Ian Allison said, “This business is entering a very exciting phase and demonstrates our continued growth and potential within this industry.” A recent job creation and expansion has been underpinned by a significant Welsh Assembly Regional Selective Assistance grant to underpin the company’s growth and acquisition strategy; It will lead to the creation of more than 90 jobs during the next three years, increasing the size of the workforce from 17 to more than 110. Founding directors of TST have amassed more than over 100 years’ knowledge of the railway environment. The company is responsible for telecommunications, electrical installation and facilities management as well as safety-critical infrastructure systems throughout the UK. |
