This weekend's shaping up to be a busy one here at Amaro, with multiple teams out on track right across the UK...

Before they hit the road, though, here's a quick look back to last weekend, where on Saturday night we were back at Bo Peep in East Sussex for another shift on the Bo Peep and Ore 650v Signalling Power Upgrade for Network Rail 🦺

The job for the night was landing a new power pillar and two transformers into position, ready for the Sunday day team to pick up and complete the terminations. That's one of the project's two power pillars and two of its four transformers now in place, and another step closer to commissioning.

The work forms part of the programme to replace end-of-life power supply equipment operating above 175v between Bo Peep Junction and Ore station with modern Class II 650v equivalents, each housed in its own separate enclosure.

Behind the scenes, deconfliction is under way in preparation for commissioning, which isn't far off now...

Well done to everyone on the Saturday night and Sunday day shifts for keeping things moving 👏

On this day in 1991, walked through the door at British Rail in Newcastle to start his first day as an S&T trainee...

35 years on, with a decade at Network Rail and a long stint at Giffen behind him, he's now 7 years into leading Amaro as our MD. In that time he's taken us from a small, local signalling firm to a multi-disciplinary consultancy working on some of the UK's most demanding projects.

The bit he'd rather we talked about, though, is the people. Micky has put a huge amount of himself into making Amaro a place people actively want to work, are backed when it matters and are treated as a person rather than a resource. The result is a team that the biggest names in rail trust to deliver, and one that people genuinely want to be part of.

Congratulations Micky, we're lucky to have you! 👏

Nominations for the Railway Benefit Fund's Heart of Gold Awards have opened! 💛

The RBF does things differently when it comes to awards. Instead of a panel of "experts" picking winners, the nominations come from rail professionals themselves, thanking the colleagues they've watched make a genuine difference to the people around them.

For the sixth year running, we're sponsoring the Star Team Award again because it aligns most closely with our values, recognising teams who pull together and leave their community in better shape than they found it.

Do you know a railway team who deserves a mention? Perhaps from your own business, a supplier, or a client?

The nomination link is in the comments. A minute is all it takes, and it could mean a great deal to the people you put forward.

On Sunday, Tobias, one of Amaro's brand-new 2026 apprentices - and the latest member of the orange army! - worked his very first shift on the railway 🦺

But despite being just down the road from our Maidstone HQ, this wasn't actually our job...

Instead, 5x end-of-life points machines were being replaced by Network Rail's local Works Delivery Unit, and it was their team who welcomed Tobias onto their site, determined to give him the best possible introduction to life on the railway.

There was nothing in it for them but, still, they gave up their time simply to help someone at the very start of his career. To anyone's who works on rail this won't come as a surprise but, for those who don't, this is exactly what this industry is all about. Decent, hardworking people going out of their way to look out for one another, and all without a second thought.

A big thank you goes out to , their PM, Paul Batty, and the wider Ashford WDU team for making this happen... and for making Tobias' day in the process!

The residents of Charfield in Gloucestershire haven't had direct access to the railway since 1965, when Dr. Beeching's cuts took their local station off the map...

60 years on and that's all about to change, however, with works well under way to deliver a stunning, fully-accessible station firmly connected to the existing local transport network!

Working directly for lead contractor, Octavius, over the past few months we've been delivering the signalling, testing and commissioning required to bring this 60+ year wait to an end.

And, in the last few weeks alone, we've made some seriously impressive progress, with:

🔹 Around 80% of both the 4-foot equipment and cabling having been installed
🔹 AWS (Automatic Warning Systems) partially installed pending the addition of the permanent magnet
🔹 Significant prep works carried out on a number of locs, ready for changeover during commissioning in Week 31
🔹 2 brand-new Collis signal structures being manufactured off site, ready for landing in Week 27

If everything stays on track (no pun intended) passengers should be catching trains to Bristol and Gloucester by summer 2027...

And whilst it may not have the profile of some of the larger stations, for those who live here it means the world, providing direct access to jobs, education, healthcare and more, reducing congestion and improving air quality in the process!👏

Promotion! 📣

A huge round of applause is due this morning to one of our junior team members, Cameron Fitchett, on successfully completing his apprenticeship.

Joining the business 3 years ago, since day one he's astonished us with just how hard he's committed himself to his new career. Hard working, diligent, and with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he's become a real asset, not just to his colleagues but to our clients and their projects as well.

Whilst Cam is the first of our 2003 cohort to graduate, every one of our apprentices is on the path to long and seriously rewarding careers in rail.

Congratulations, Cam! 👏

We're hiring! 📣

We're searching for an experienced Construction Manager to lead construction activities across our rail infrastructure projects, based out of either Maidstone or Stevenage, and with hybrid working.

This is a role for someone who's spent years on major and minor rail schemes and knows what it takes to keep a job safe, on programme and on budget. You'd be coordinating site teams, subcontractors and suppliers, working alongside our project, engineering and commercial teams, and holding the standard on safety and quality across everything we deliver.

We're looking for 10+ years in rail infrastructure, an Engineering Manager's Licence (or a Signalling Supervisor's Licence working towards one), significant experience across signalling, power or telecoms, and real strengths when it comes to cost control, scheduling and stakeholder management.

The role is permanent (PAYE), and comes with a salary of £65k - £75k. You'll also get private family medical cover, up to 33 days' holiday, and paid membership of professional bodies like the IRSE and JIB, with certifications and qualifications funded by us.

Applications close on 18 September. If this sounds like your next move, the full details and CV upload are on our site, link in the comments 👇

Huge congratulations go out this morning to our apprentice, Laura Howes, on being awarded her 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 IRSE licence!

Not satisfied with her Assistant Installer Licence awarded in January, she now officially holds an IRSE Test Assistant Licence, too.

Now, thanks to this latest achievement, Laura can prove she has the underpinning knowledge AND practical ability needed to carry out this important role, including...

🔹 Understanding the specific responsibilities, limits of authority, and safety protocols of a Test Assistant.

🔹 Recognising common railway signalling components, trackside gear, and location equipment.

🔹 Identifying relay states, operating test desks, and reporting statuses from a signaller's panel.

🔹 Assisting with cable continuity and insulation testing

🔹 Assist with the testing of signals, AWS, TPWS, track circuits and points
.. and so much more.

For those outside the rail industry, it's extremely rare for someone to hold two IRSE licences at this early stage in their career.

Well done, Laura. We couldn't be more proud of you!

Team shout out! 📣

Just a few days ago, one of our apprentices, Cameron Fitchett, was on the platform at Abercynon waiting for the rest of the team when he spotted an elderly lady sitting on her own in the shelter. She looked really upset - it was gone midnight and the last train had already gone.

He went over to see if she was alright and it turned out she'd got on the wrong train and ended up on the other side of the valley, miles from home with no way of getting back. She didn't know what to do and was getting more upset by the minute.

A comment of "she's got no chance of getting a taxi from here" from someone else on site didn't help matters, either, but Cameron stayed with her, kept her calm, and sorted out an Uber on his own account to get her home safely.

She gave him a hug to say thank you.

We're really proud of Cameron for this one and have given him our Community Hero Award and an Amazon voucher to show our appreciation.

Well done, Cam! 👏

We've been back out in Kent over the last few days, carrying out even more of the essential repairs that keep our home county's passengers moving 💪

This week, that's meant another successful cable replacement, just a stone's throw from our Maidstone HQ...

🔹 Pulling out 350m of new cable (Mon)
🔹 Nipping and tucking (Mon and Tue)
🔹 Swapping the cable over (Wed)
🔹 Recovering the redundant cable last night
🔹 Training the client's own apprentices
.. and closing out yet another priority issue in the process.

Now in our 5th year of being trusted to deliver these critical works, since 2022 we've been supporting Network Rail right across Kent, inspecting the area's signal power supplies, performing periodic testing, repairing cabling, transformers and more, helping to bring the whole system within current standards.
