Openreach’s Post

Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of being part of TriMet’s A Better Red project, and let me tell you—it’s been an exhilarating journey! - Supporting Through Challenges: As the project unfolded, we’ve been in the thick of things—navigating major service disruptions, coordinating construction impacts within the agency, and planning for collaboration during major concurrent project work. It’s been a dynamic role, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the dedication of TriMet, the project team, and the contractor. - Gateway North MAX Station: A Milestone: This week, we celebrated a significant milestone—the opening of the Gateway North MAX station. It’s the first new station in nine years, and it’s a game-changer for our community. Commuters now have new access to this vital transit hub and Gateway Green, and can have a more reliable connection throughout Portland Metro! - Reliability Boost: The icing on the cake? MAX Red Line trains are now cruising on a double set of tracks between the Gateway area and the re-built Portland International Airport station. This improvement enhances reliability across the entire MAX system. - TriMet’s Resilience: But let’s talk about resilience. In January, Mother Nature threw us a curveball—a winter weather event that coated the region and our construction site in a thick layer of ice. Did it slow us down? Not for long! TriMet and the contractor rallied, got the system back on track, and dove into construction. - Looking Ahead: As we gear up for one more service disruption to complete critical tie-in work at Fair Complex/Hillsboro Airport, I’m excited about the next phase. Come August 2024, all of this work and new improvements will be handed over to TriMet, ushering in full revenue service. - Kudos to TriMet and Partners: The complexity of concurrent project work, the challenges overcome, and the unwavering commitment—it’s a testament to what collaboration can achieve in this regionally significant project. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Having had the delight of a few regular trips in September this article neatly captures the “fun” of the west coast mainline. It’s not just Avanti and their bare bones approach to staffing, this is a line that is running in the red, under resourced and with station infrastructure that is not fit for purpose. Nobody’s winning here. HS2 is too far away… In our world we see this all too often. A silver bullet programme on the horizon but no real plan work with the here and now. We use our (Cross 8 ) tooling to find out what the real priorities are focus effort on targeted delivery for today alongside planning for new future model. Sometimes ( and i suspect here as well) this means doing less, moving the business out of the red and fundamentally making sure that each delivery has the space to truly make an impact. The “Euston Sprint” is a thing and it really shouldn’t be with the right approach. #priorisation #busienss transformation https://lnkd.in/e4HqCxMe

Whilst we didn’t win, I’m proud to be part of an organisation that backs this kind of initiative. We all know LANTRA training only gives operatives the bare bones of knowledge and doesn’t guarantee they have any real practical experience. Over the last two years at Highway Traffic Management Ltd we’ve developed a comprehensive competancy assessment programme which all trainees go through covering over 180 criteria, including skills, knowledge and behaviours, stuff we expect everyone to magically know, but rarely teach, including how to load a van correctly, how to complete paperwork, what to do if there’s an incident and how to give or receive a briefing. Why have we done this? We want to have high quality competent and reliable operatives who have good knowledge and therefore the confidence to run sites whilst managing and supporting other staff. We have some great examples of this working with operatives who joined with no experience now teaching others. This is what quality and a conscientious TM company looks like. #htmltd #quality #trafficmanagement
