ABSTRACT
The significant pressures under which UK rail infrastructure currently operates provide ample research grounds for the field of resilience engineering. One of the areas on which these pressures mostly impact is the planning and delivery of engineering work. Resilience engineering was proposed as a framework for research aiming to improve the ability of the organisational system responsible for the planning of all engineering work to respond to these pressures. Within this scope, an approach to measuring resilience was developed by means of a questionnaire. A factor analysis method was used to identify underlying trends from the questionnaire data, which could then potentially be used as measurable aspects of resilience in rail engineering planning.
