About us

S and L Roberts (Railway Consulting) Ltd is dedicated to making the railway system safer, high performing and cost effective.

We do this by working with our clients so that knowledge and insight to improve the railway becomes embedded within the client organisation.

We recognise that on our own we can change nothing but together we can change the world (or at least the railway).

A selection of our customers include: ATOC, Bombardier, Bridgeway Consulting, LRSSB, RDG, RSSB, CER, TOCs, FOCs, Network Rail, Winder Phillips, Fraser Nash, film companies and the British Judicial Service
