Delivering traffic management for rail infrastructure isn’t just about road signs and cones — it’s about understanding the scale, complexity, and critical safety measures required to support some of the UK’s most high-pressure, time-sensitive works. And when it comes to long-term collaboration, few projects illustrate this better than our 4-year involvement in the Midland Mainline Electrification Programme from Kettering to Wigston.

Reliable Support Across 4 Years of Rail Works

As a trusted supplier to one of the UK’s leading electrification contractors, we provided end-to-end traffic management services to support a major upgrade of the Midland Mainline on behalf of Network Rail. From initial planning and permitting to boots-on-the-ground implementation, our team delivered consistency, responsiveness, and technical expertise across every stage of the project.

This long-standing partnership included:

  • Site surveys and planning meetings
  • Design and production of traffic management drawings
  • Permit acquisition and liaison with local authorities
  • Day and night access traffic management
  • Support for abnormal access blockades
  • Protection for staff during critical outage works

One of the most complex and rewarding moments of the programme was the delivery of the Wigston MPATS Substation — the largest of its kind in the country. Our team also supported a 9-day Christmas blockade that ensured safe and uninterrupted access for works in the Radlett area, reinforcing our ability to deliver even during peak seasonal pressures.

Restoring Confidence in Traffic Management Providers

In a sector where reliability and safety can’t be compromised, we’re proud to have earned the trust of rail professionals through hard work, transparency, and real delivery. As shared in the client’s words, our involvement helped rebuild faith in traffic management providers after several poor industry experiences — a reminder of the importance of working with a supplier who truly understands the nuances of railway access, blockades, and collaboration with local authorities.

“The team at Paragon have restored my faith in traffic management suppliers after several negative experiences with others in the industry.”

This testimonial speaks volumes for our commitment to not only meeting deadlines and regulatory requirements, but also to building lasting relationships grounded in trust and results.
