INFORMATION
All change at Derby Station
Derby’s upcoming £200m resignalling project will see the relaying of new track and improved signalling throughout the station area. The project is the biggest rail
investment in Derby Station for decades and is a key part of the Midland Main Line upgrade, which will improve journeys to and through Derby. Replacing the signalling
alone was not an option, since having new signals on a track layout that is nearly 50 years old would not enable the full potential of the new equipment to be realised. With passenger numbers
doubling over the past 20 years, the Derby resignalling project represents an opportunity to upgrade infrastructure. The main work will take 79
days, from Sunday 22 July to Sunday 7 October, with significant disruption to trains during this period.

Green ideas fly high with Heathrow innovation prize
Heathrow has launched the first Sustainable Innovation Prize in exchange for leading green ideas. Businesses from across the UK are being invited to
apply, with the winning entry awarded £20,000 and the green light to develop their idea, earning the opportunity to use Heathrow as a ‘live laboratory.’ Here, they will be able to trial and develop their winning concept and gain exposure to Heathrow’s operation and partners in the process. The launch of the Sustainable Innovation Prize
coincides with activity marking the anniversary of the Heathrow 2.0 - Heathrow’s plan for sustainable growth. The prize will further Heathrow’s ambitions to make its business a centre of excellence for aviation sustainability, reducing the airport’s social and environmental impacts, while maximising the economic opportunities in the UK.
Applicants are invited to submit ideas and solutions which fall into one of the following three categories:
1. WASTE AS A RESOURCE Concepts that create value from waste water and waste materials at and around airports and in their supply chains.
2. SUSTAINABLE AND LOW CARBON MATERIALS Solutions which transform the environmental impact of the large quantities of construction materials used for Heathrow’s buildings and supporting infrastructure.
3. MEASURING AND ENHANCING QUALITY OF LIFE LOCALLY Concepts that could help measure and improve quality of life for local communities and those living and working around the airport, taking into consideration wide ranging issues such as aircraft noise or employment opportunities.
Entries from UK applicants will be accepted via
yourheathrow.com/sustainability. The deadline for submissions is 31 March. Online submissions will be reviewed and six finalists will be selected to give a ten minute pitch to a panel of judges made up of Heathrow’s senior executives from across the airport, including Matt Gorman, Heathrow’s Sustainability Director. The entries will be reviewed for maximum
sustainability benefit, as well as likelihood of trial success and later implementation.
