How PPS Rail started

PPS Rail was formed in 2013 by Railway Planning professionals. The goal was to provide a focused Railway Access integrated planning solution.

Recognising the difficulties that can arise which leaves the clients with no immediate support from other sources, PPS Rail developed a workable integrated solution that our clients enjoy which results in maximum access with no disruption to the project plan.

The planning staff at PPS Rail are only recruited on personal recommendations to ensure that a Railway professional attitude is maintained from the Top down.

Where PPS Rail is now

From a starting position PPS Rail have enjoyed and continue to work on some of the countries prestigious projects as well as offering a one to one service with multiple clients to ensure that their access requirements are maintained to deliver the objective. PPS Rail have enjoyed awards such as Rail staff Award for Infrastructure possession team of the year and we are delighted to have been recognised by our fellow colleagues.
