Great for me @ramboll_uk to get back with the team from @lboroCSG at the Parliamentary Reception for the @railindustry Fellowship Awards.

An exiting day out for the #repoint team at the Palace of Westminster! @Dr_Chris_Ward @RepointSwitch @railindustry @LboroEng

SET demonstrating their wheelmotor technology with project partners Huddersfield and Loughborough Universities. Mechanically simple bogie, all electric drive and braking, step change reduction in mass, wear and RCF. @RSSB_rail @UKRRIN @IRRHud @lborouniversity @WeLoveResearch

Brilliant news! My project student from last year is one of the final four in the @IMechE #Mechatronics #Engineering Student of the Year Competition! Off to London tomorrow to see his presentation to the committee. #proudSupervisor @lborouniversity imeche.org/get-involved/s…

Turns out that 3 of the 4 finalists for the @IMechE Mechatronics Student Prize are from @lborouniversity !

To all UK Control Systems colleagues, please come and join us on the UKACC Day, which includes the annual UKACC Lecture and a PhD Showcase on 18 November 2019. eventbrite.co.uk/e/ukacc-day-20… @UKACCGroups @RogerDixon70 #UKACCDay2019

.@RogerDixon70 helping explain work being done in @lboroCSG on #mechatronic railway vehicles at #MechatronicsNOLCOS

@wjbmidgley @lborouniversity @lboroCSG @RogerDixon70 Inspiration to countless researchers, including me! Well done Roger.

Congratulations to Roger Goodall of @lborouniversity and @lboroCSG for being awarded the lifetime achievement award at MechatronicsNOLCOS 2019. Superb achievement, @RogerDixon70 agrees too!

Just had the latest #carbfreerail project meeting with @RSSB_rail. Thanks @giulialorenzini and co. for organising, @Dr_Chris_Ward, @k2kaitu and the @lboroCSG for assisting, and @chilternrailway and @AngelTrains for their continued support. The train model is looking great!

Nabilah Farhat takes to the stage at #iavsd2019 to talk about the ⁦@RSSB_rail⁩ sponsored project with Stored Energy Technology Limited (SET) ⁦@Dr_Chris_Ward⁩

Did you catch @lboroCSG and the Repoint Switch at @GcrGreat on @BBCTheOneShow? Find out more about this innovative technology to prevent #train delays: bit.ly/2Fcbn3U @railindustry @RSSB_rail

Everyday something new and exciting is happening at ⁦@GcrGreat⁩. Today, the #repoint track switch gets a crossing. Only a matter of time until the train ... ⁦@RepointSwitch⁩

Here’s #repoint working in track. Great work team! ⁦@GcrGreat⁩ ⁦@degsignal⁩ ⁦@BakerEngLtd⁩ ⁦@Progress_Rail⁩ ⁦@RogerDixon70⁩ ⁦@niukie⁩ ⁦@lborouniversity⁩ ⁦@saikatdutta⁩ ⁦@Dr_Chris_Ward⁩ ⁦@RSSB_rail⁩ ⁦@RepointSwitch⁩

Extremely satisfying to see the #repoint switch panel craned into track this morning. Thanks to Rich Corbin for the photo. @RepointSwitch @RSSB_rail @GcrGreat

A bold statement needed for the #repoint demonstrator test site at Great Central Railway @GcrGreat @RepointSwitch

The #repoint project set out to introduce redundancy into track switching to minimise switch failures. Today we demonstrated this concept. In this video, the rails are moved by 2 of the 3 actuator bearers, only one bearer is required to move the rails. @RepointSwitch @RSSB_rail

Congratulations to @lboroCSG 's very own Nabilah Farhat, who passed her PhD on vehicle based switching today. Well done! @Dr_Chris_Ward @RogerDixon70

We have a switch panel! #repoint ⁦@RepointSwitch⁩

An exciting new paper that develops a novel method for determining the response bounds of friction-damped gas turbine blades. It’s much faster than conventional methods and compares well to numerical and physical experiments. Available online: bit.ly/2z1zs9c

Another new paper! Describing a novel method for predicting response variability in friction dampers. A great example of what can be achieved when academics from @Cambridge_Eng, @lborouniversity and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (#三菱重工業) work together! bit.ly/2CCxaRi
