UNCONVENTIONAL TRACKS

Initial interest of ORE Specialists Committee D 87 in slab tracks was in relation to lines through tunnels under cities. Increasing interest in unconventional tracks for wider application persuaded the Control Committee to extend the terms of reference and a second enquiry was seen as a preliminary step in revising the working programme. The questionnaire sent to Administrations is appended to this (( Enquiry Report )) which summarises response from twenty-four Administrations.
