CGC RAIL SWINGS INTO ACTION AT
HISTORIC BRIDGE

September 16 2020

CGC Rail has swung into action at a heritage bridge of huge historic significance.

Winnington Swing Bridge in Northwich, Cheshire is one of the first electrically-operated swing bridges ever seen in the UK.

It is of immense historic value and CGC Rail is making excellent progress on repair works to the 111-year old Grade 2 listed steel structure.

Since work began in June, CGC Rail’s expert workmanship has replaced deteriorating sections to ensure it can continue to operate and extend its life.

The work has included strengthening, painting and refurbishment of the footbridge which is proceeding on schedule.

Zed Khan of CGC Rail said: “We feel very privileged to be undertaking repair work on this remarkable bridge which has been in operation for well over a century.

“It is a much-respected local landmark and vital artery in this part of Cheshire. The work being undertaken will preserve this important structure and equip it for many years of continued service to the community.”

CGC RAIL ATTENDS RAIL
INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORKING EVENT

CGC Rail was pleased to be represented at the recent Rail Infrastructure Networking Event held in London.

The successful occasion - the third one to take place - was attended by over 150 rail professionals from across Britain.
RIN is a not-for-profit quarterly networking opportunity and each event takes place in a different UK city with specific ties to the UK rail network.

This event took place at London’s Camden Centre - a Grade II listed building renowned for its art deco features.

London was an obvious choice for a city to host a RIN event, both for its world-famous, bustling railway stations, and due to the number of significant rail projects taking place within the capital throughout the next few years.

Director of event organisers Jobson James Rail, Keven Parker, said: “Attendance at RIN has grown quarter after quarter, and this event has continued this trend.

“We have seen a surge in popularity from professionals across all facets of the industry which is fantastic to see.
Jobson James Rail are a business which offers specialist insurance solutions for companies and individuals in the rail sector.

He added: “We have received a lot of positive feedback from attendees, with many people already thanking us for the new opportunities that have been unearthed through networking at the event. It is clear to see that we are developing an exciting reputation as the UK’s only free rail networking event.”

The next RIN event will be held on 4th May in Crewe at the Alexandra Stadium.

Stewart McKechnie of CGC Rail said: “This was undoubtedly a worthwhile event to attend as CGC Rail increases our presence and reach within the rail industry.”
