Unipart is a signalling improvement partner of choice, helping rail infrastructure owners, contractors and operators deliver better outcomes across safety-critical signalling programmes.
We go beyond products and services to improve how signalling is designed, built, delivered and sustained – reducing risk, shortening programmes and improving whole-life performance.
Rail signalling is complex, safety-critical and highly dependent on effective coordination across multiple interfaces. Fragmented supply chains, late-stage testing and on-site constraints can introduce avoidable risk and delay.
Unipart will design out inefficiency and improve signalling delivery.
By combining engineering insight, manufacturing capability, logistics excellence and continuous improvement, we help customers move from traditional supply models to integrated, predictable delivery.
Our approach: Design | Make | Move | Improve

We work collaboratively with customers to shape signalling solutions that are practical to manufacture, install and maintain. Early engagement, regular reviews and robust testing strategies help reduce on-site risk and improve delivery confidence.
Through specialist manufacturing, assembly and pre-integration, we create signalling solutions that arrive installation ready. Improving quality, repeatability and safety while reducing time on site.
Our end-to-end logistics and supply chain capability ensures signalling assets are delivered to the right place, at the right time, in the right sequence - even in the most challenging rail environments.
Using proven continuous improvement methodologies, we help customers remove waste, increase reliability and optimise whole-life performance across signalling programmes.
LX Plus is an example of how Unipart applies its Design | Make | Move | Improve approach to signalling delivery.
Rather than treating a level crossing as a collection of individual components, LX Plus brings together:
This approach reduces commissioning risk, shortens installation windows and provides greater certainty at delivery – improving safety, quality and programme outcomes.
Unipart supports rail signalling from concept through to operation, including:
Our signalling capability is strengthened by supply chain excellence, ensuring solutions are not only technically robust, but delivered efficiently and predictably.
We partner with infrastructure owners, Tier 1 contractors, system integrators and operators to support both discrete signalling challenges and long-term improvement programmes.
Whether delivering a single level crossing or a complex re-signalling programme, Unipart brings the capability, discipline and mindset to improve outcomes from day one.
