Network Rail's GNRP is a vast programme of improvements to transform train travel for customers in the North.
It will enable 2,000 extra services each week and allow 40,000 more passengers to travel each day. More trains with more seats, running more quickly and more reliably. Train customers are the immediate beneficiaries of improved transport links (or connectivity) between towns and cities in the North.
As new opportunities, including jobs, are created, and businesses get access to a greater pool of talent, local communities and the wider regional economy will feel the knock-on benefits of GNRP. This will boost growth regionally and nationally.

The Network Rail Tower integrates wireless mobile technology to transmit live and recorded video and alarms, a market-leading PTZ camera with infrared imaging and 360-degree pan, tilt and 36x zoom, audio speakers to enable a remote challenge to occur, and a removable hard drive (up to 4TB) for local storage.
It features multiple powering options for complete flexibility, including:
Mains – 110/240v
Eco long-run battery - allowing generator shutdown at nights/weekends
Methanol Fuel cell - autonomous power for up to 8 weeks
Solar and Wind Power
WCCTV were also tasked to provide time lapse video production from five locations to encapsulate the transformation work in an engaging video format.
WCCTV has a strong pedigree, working with blue-chip organisations such as Balfour Beatty, Skanska, BAM, VolkerFitzpatrick, NMC and AMCO - capturing some amazing projects from start to finish.
As well as providing a stunning, fully-edited finished product, WCCTV also provides you with access to a secure portal where you view live progress images from the site and even create your own video clips.
