It is envisaged that this will be delivered through track testing following on from RSSB R&D research project T797 Performance and installation criteria for sanding systems moving it into demonstrator phase. Subject to availability of rolling stock and suitable test track, testing is envisaged to take place from June 2016 having developed the necessary testing criteria and process.
