National Railway Museum

The Challenge

Locomotion, part of the National Railway Museum group, is home to one of the country’s most significant rail heritage collections. The new building formed part of the museum’s wider expansion plans, and Multiconnect Communication Services Ltd were awarded the contract to install the full structured cabling system throughout it, along with fibre optic links back to the existing Locomotion 1 building.

The work had to serve a public museum environment, where the network needed to support visitor services, exhibition technology and back of house operations from day one. It also had to be delivered on a live construction programme, working to the main contractor’s schedule and coordinating closely with the electrical contractor on containment and routing.

The Outcome

Working alongside main contractor Nationwide Engineering and electrical contractor Kennedy Services Ltd, we installed the complete structured cabling system across the new building and ran the fibre optic links connecting it back to Locomotion 1, tying the new facility into the museum’s existing network infrastructure.

All cabling was installed, terminated and tested to specification before handover, with the project completed in February 2024 and ready to support the museum’s future vision for the site.
