- Additional information
- In the operation of high speed trains running on ballasted track, ballast stones can become airborne, which can cause significant damage to the underside of trains, trackside noise barriers and the top of rails, due to crushing by the wheels. Ballast projection is estimated to cost the UK rail network up to £500k per annum. This work compared several methods of evaluating the aerodynamic flow beneath a high speed train and resulted in specific guidelines offered to high speed train operators.
