With outlets in the UK, Ireland and Italy, the chain sells in excess of 5.5 million espresso shots a year. From kiosks or fixed sites at busy rail
locations to continental restaurant and coffee bars, Puccino’s looks after the young-at-heart who identify with café culture and quality food and drink. Puccino’s, will be providing a selection

Henry Williams unveils Network Rail approved SafeBox
Engineering firm Henry Williams has developed a range of Class II and Form 4 certified electrically-
insulated power distribution units to help safeguard signalling operations. SafeBox has been designed with a fully
encapsulated stainless steel construction and with an electrically insulating protective coating to overcome a range of challenges encountered during the installation, maintenance and protection of power distribution equipment. Darlington-based Henry Williams, a
major engineering supplier to the UK’s railway network since 1883, says interest in SafeBox is already growing and the company is confident it could become one of its flagship products. ‘We believe Safebox is the new industry standard for safeguarding signalling power and possibly Henry Williams’ proudest achievement to date,’ said Andy Nelson, managing director, after SafeBox was ‘product approved’ by Network Rail as suitable for use as a Class II FSP switchgear assembly, in accordance with NR/L2/ELP/27409. ‘However, it is important to recognise that Safebox has been developed with input from engineers, installers and maintainers so that its full potential could be realised.’ A Class II electrical product, Safebox also has Form 4a segregated power to
enable work to be carried out while the power/signalling box is still in operation. During the approvals process, it passed
dielectric testing after each of the required tests, such as vibration, as required by Network Rail (NR/L2/ELP/27409). Its characteristics include: • Hinged one operation doors and removable gland plates
• FSP01 (radial) and FSP02 (dual end fed manually configurable) for cable up to 120mm2
• Form 4a segregation of incomer/ outgoing 650V feeder cables
• Ease and speed of installation on site • 40-year life • Rated voltage 690VAC • Ingress protection rating IP4X • Mounted in standard BRS SM440 mounting rails and space
• Continued operation after flooding SafeBox can be configured to meet
specific requirements and can be fitted with any approved fuse, such as Cooper Busman, Camaster, and any BS88 style fuse carrier or alternative transformer/ load protection devices depending on the design requirements and load characteristics. Henry Williams holds ‘product acceptance’ for a variety of products it supplies into the rail industry. For more information, go to

Network Rail approves Radiodetection cable detectors
Keeping adequate stock onsite for the
busy Kiosk is important, so it has a built- in store cupboard with additional freezer. Security is provided with an electric roller shutter and CCTV. The brief from Puccino’s Worldwide was to come up with a design to accommodate a roll-out programme of new kiosks and existing kiosk and railway bar refurbishments across the national rail network. The Bexley Heath Kiosk is the template
for further kiosks going in to additional Network Rail facilities across the UK. The AJC team provides a complete service with design and drawing, preliminary site visits, and preparation and submission of RAMS for approval and installation.

Radiodetection’s cable avoidance tools, CAT4 and Genny4, together with a wide range of their accessories, have been authorised for use on the UK’s national rail infrastructure by Network Rail. CAT4 and Genny4 have been designed to help operators find buried utilities, faster and more safely. They can also detect cables that are smaller and deeper than previous models. eCAT4 series products are designed to assist in locate task management, featuring automatic data logging key locate parameters at one-second intervals, calibration due warnings and Swing, which warns operators of incorrect usage patterns. Advanced features extend location capabilities – Dynamic Overload
Protection allows operators to find cables in electrically noisy areas, such as beneath overhead power lines trackside, while Avoidance Mode lets the operator check an intended excavation area for power, radio and genny signals, as well as pinpointing utilities in a single scan. Finally, the multifunctional RD8000 range are Radiodetection’s most advanced
pipe and cable locators, offering a wide range of locate functions. Advanced features such as Compass and a combined peak/null locate mode deliver superior pipe and cable location and tracing functionality in an ergonomic locator weighing less than 2kg.
