There is an immediate need for the industry to drive through improvements to the current timetable change process, particularly with reference to the resilience of supporting stock and crew diagrams.
The Department for Transport and Network Rail are encouraging TOCs to take swift action to deliver the quality of service that rail users expect. TOCs, routes and regions to have been asked to work closely together and to take the initiative to ensure this ambition is delivered.
Tracsis recognises the myriad of challenges faced by train operators to provide Network Rail with robust rolling stock and train crew diagrams at an earlier stage of the planning process, and the additional strain this may place on existing resources. We are able to fully support these vital improvements to the timetable planning process, using our proven proprietary systems and expert rail consultancy team.
