Network Rail and LUL-Approved Cable for Rail, Underground and Metro
Rail cable covers Overhead Line, Trackside Power, Signalling, and Telecoms applications. As the leading RISQS approved supplier of electrical cables and accessories, Eland Cables has the full range of Network Rail approved products. Our Rail industry specialists and cable experts work together to provide a tailored service, combining our cables with a range of services designed to support your project and deliver against timelines.
We supply the full range of Network Rail and London Underground approved cables to provide you with compliant solutions. Technical datasheet PDFs are available for download from our website.
As a Rail contractor, whilst most requirements are planned long in advance, sometimes you need stock urgently. We hold stock to support these requests, with cables cut to length. With larger projects we can offer short manufacturing lead-times, supporting longer drum lengths as needed.
An extensive fleet and a team of drivers trained in cable handling sees your order delivered in optimum condition, where and when you need it. HiAb and Moffet vehicles make delivery easy, even trackside, and our ‘just-in-time’ service minimises space and security concerns. Our transport team can provide instant PODs with drivers tracked every step of the way. Working within your project timelines, we can create a tailored delivery schedule that works for you.
Cables are delivered next-day from stock as standard, or on timed deliveries as required.
Cable experts and Rail Industry specialists combine to offer support from specification through to installation, with guidance on regulations, industry best practice, cable specification and sizing, all whilst considering opportunities for efficiencies. They are available by phone or by email for all rail cable related matters.
Need something different (but still NR approved)? We’ve worked extensively with Network Rail to design and develop NR-standard cables in response to challenges faced on the network, with our specific AAAC Overhead Line wire, FGT Class 2 Signalling cable, and the Axle Counter Cable being 3 examples.
You want the assurance that the cables you install will meet the demands of the application. We’re uncompromising in our commitment to quality and compliance and our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited facility, The Cable Lab® is at the centre of our drive for cable excellence. Rigorous testing – far beyond simple QA – ensures cables meet Network Rail and other relevant standards so that on delivery the cables can be swiftly installed knowing that they are fit for purpose. Where appropriate, third-party accredited cables are available, including BASEC approved and LPCB certified. We also hold the BSI Cable Testing Verification Kitemark.
With project references including the Great Western Electrification upgrade and the East Coast Mainline power supply upgrade; being named on NR specs for cable design; conducting third-party cable testing on behalf of Network Rail; and having involvement in LUL station upgrades, our UK rail experience is significant. Add to that our work on rail projects around the world, and our experience and credentials show how our services work for the industry. For case study details visit the website and see how we continuously deliver results for our rail & metro customers.
Like you, we take our ESG and Sustainability responsibilities seriously. Our focus is simple – to make a positive impact and sustainable contribution whenever we can. We think in terms of Sustainable Operations – bringing together the Environmental Actions with those that look after our people, our communities, and the governance of our company. We know that what we do has an impact on you and your Scope 3 emissions – we’re taking steps to mitigate and reduce our carbon emissions and provide services that add value to our customers.
We have joined Network Rail in committing to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI), and we are a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Alternatively, we welcome any conversations around our Sustainability actions and how they can benefit your rail project.
The High Speed 1 railway project was implemented in two phases, involving Section 1 and Section 2.
The modernisation of the 399-mile (641.6km) rail route between London and Glasgow and its key divergences to Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, was the largest rail project to date in the UK.
Since opening in 1987, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) has been central to the regeneration of east London. Now its significance is far greater than originally envisaged.
Liverpool Street Station is being upgraded by Crossrail as part of a £14.8bn (approximately $19bn) Elizabeth Line (formerly Crossrail) project in London, UK.
MetroWest is a proposed rail project to improve rail transport services in Bristol and its surrounding areas, known as the West of England.
An upgrading programme for the 393-mile (632km) East Coast Main Line (ECML) route between London and Edinburgh, and its key divergences serving Leeds, Bradford and Glasgow, was thrust into a new context during 2007.
London's already extensive railway network is being made ready for the Olympic Games, to be hosted at 33 venues (17 for
