A North East based audio equipment specialist has received endorsement for the quality of its products from the organisation which looks after Britain’s rail system.

Network Rail, which runs, develop and maintains rail tracks, signalling and other infrastructure such as tunnels and bridges together with 18 of the country’s biggest and busiest stations has chosen fire telephones and induction loop systems produced by Current Thinking for inclusion in its St Pancras Thameslink Box project.

Many rail stations on the East Coast Main line are already equipped with fire telephones and induction loop systems produced at Current Thinking’s Sunderland factory and Managing Director Tony Smith says Network Rail’s (PADS) endorsement follows installation of its products at St Pancras International, as well as Stratford, Ebsfleet and Ashford International stations.

He explains “We’re delighted to have received this recognition from such an important organisation as Network Rail. In fact our equipment is already in use in many different sites across the county’s rail system, including, for example, St Pancras International Station and the Heathrow Express service at Heathrow’s Terminal 5.

“The benefit of gaining PADS qualification is that our fire telephone and induction loop systems no longer need specific approval from Network Rail before being considered for future schemes, which provides assurance to contractors and installers tendering for projects that our equipment meets the very demanding standards required.”

Current Thinking safety and audio products are in use in many major developments in the UK and across the world—including, for example, the multi-million pound redevelopment of the Wimbledon tennis complex, the Tate Britain Art Gallery in London and many of the biggest construction projects in Dubai such as the undersea Jumeria Road Tunnel linking the mainland to the impressive Palm development of the world’s three largest artificial islands.
