## Description
RSSB is seeking to appoint a supplier to undertake research into the feasibility and potential impact of developing a more detailed description of a train’s full path than is currently possible through the existing TIPLOC-based timetable. The research will consider the information, data and technical requirements needed, demonstrate how a more granular path description could work alongside existing railway systems, and explore the potential benefits, risks and implementation considerations for the GB rail industry.
