Full Possession Planning

Possession Planning delivered safely, efficiently & fully compliant.

RPS manages every stage of the access process — from initial applications to final WON publication — giving you clear, accurate information and seamless coordination with Network Rail and delivery partners. Our experienced planners handle the detail so your teams can focus on delivery.

Engineering Access Possession (PPS) Applications

We manage all PPS applications on your behalf, ensuring every request is submitted accurately, on time, and in line with Network Rail standards. This includes validating worksite information, checking line restrictions, and coordinating with stakeholders to secure the access you need.

Correct Input Into Weekly Operating Notice (WON) Publication

Our planners take full responsibility for ensuring your works are correctly input and published in the Weekly Operating Notice (WON). We check that all details meet compliance requirements and reflect the final agreed access, giving your teams up-to-date and reliable information ahead of delivery.

Pre-Possession Meetings & PICOP Briefings

RPS attends and supports all pre-possession meetings, providing clear updates and ensuring all worksite details are confirmed. We also coordinate briefing information for PICOPs, guaranteeing that operational teams have accurate and consistent instructions before works commence.

ACCESS TRACKER UPDATES


We maintain your access tracker throughout the planning period, ensuring every change, approval, and update is captured. This gives your project team full visibility of planned possessions and any emerging issues, helping you manage risk and programme impact.

Late Access & Change Requests (ARPCR Forms)

When circumstances change, we manage all late access and ARPCR submissions quickly and accurately. Our team liaises with Network Rail to secure approvals, minimise disruption, and ensure documentation remains fully compliant.
