CASE STUDY
Claretech Supreme Provides Enhanced Protection at the Wheel/Rail Interface for Merseyrail in Liverpool.
The Problem
Wheel wear and rail wear were a persistent problem for Merseyrail, most significantly along the sensitive ‘loop’ which runs under the city and connects Liverpool’s 4 city centre stations.
Network Rail has also reported more rail wear on the Wirral line where track is very close to the coast and branches off to two of the regions sea-side towns New Brighton and West Kirby.
The curves within the network were an ongoing challenge for lubrication, and some expert advise was sought from RS Clare to discuss the best lubrication plan.
