    "description": "Following the publication of the RAIB report 12/2023 into the Salisbury Tunnel Junction\ncollision of October 2021 and subsequent conclusions, there is direct recommendation to\ninstall automatic sanding equipment on all fleets. As such Northern is looking to develop\nautomatic sanding modification on Northern\u0027s Cl.150 and Cl.156 fleets.\nNTL have assessed our fleet and this notice is to direct award an agreement which will see a\nmodification to the already installed WSP system to permit automatic sanding on cl.150 and\ncl.156 units (qty 288 vehicles all DMS/DMSL).\nWith the exception of Northern\u0027s Cl.150 \u0026 CL.156 fleets, all fleets are installed with\nautomatic sanding systems that deposit sand onto the railhead under the third axle at a fixed\nrate, triggered immediately when a unit encounters low adhesion. Where as the 15x fleets are\nfitted with Single Fixed Rate Sanding systems which further inadequacies of standard SFRS\nsystems were highlighted after the Salisbury collision.\nThe project scope is to:\n\u25cf Modify already fitted SFRS system as to enable automatic sanding across the Class 150s\n\u0026 156s\no Which will improve and standardise sanding response time once a unit has encountered\nlow adhesion conditions and remove the human element.\n\u25cf The modification is planned to have as many units completed before leaf fall 2025 on all\nNorthern Cl.150 and Cl.156 units as to mitigate the risk of further incidents moving forward.",
