This paper assesses the impact of a number of potential innovations in the running gear of a railway vehicle upon the wheel-rail interface. Innovations including light-weighting of vehicles and better control of the wheel-rail interface as developed in recent research projects are considered. The longer-term implications are explored and the issues of assessment and sharing of the potential benefits and the direction of future rolling stock design are commented upon.
