All track engineering activities and planning are undertaken with the purpose of ensuring a successful, profitable and safe railway business. A significant purpose of the management of the business is to ensure that the maintenance of rail infrastructure is appropriately funded and aligns with the strategic, operational and safety plans of the organisation. Ultimately the goal of all management and track engineering is that trains can run on time, and provide the service for the paying customers. This subject introduces you to management and planning processes in a railway business, and the issues related to train operations, which control or affect the engineer’s work. Because this subject provides you with an overview of management and operations, it is introduced in the first half of the course, to help you understand the context of the work which you will do as a track engineer.
