What We Do
Powerful Solutions for Complex Rail Operations
Every rail network is different. Your challenges are unique. That’s why we build software that adapts to you – not the other way around.
TrainPlan
Build the perfect timetable with complete visibility and confidence. Our planning tools factor in rolling stock availability, track access and operational constraints to create efficient, reliable schedules that work in the real world.
ResourcePlan
Transform your train plan into anonymous vehicle and crew plans. At the heart of the ResourcePlan module is the ability to specify the daily allocation of trains to anonymous vehicles. ResourcePlan also provides crewing functionality, to allocate anonymous resources (drivers, conductors etc.) to the vehicles complying with union rules.
FleetManager
Adapt to real-world operations with on-the-day management tools. When schedules change due to disruptions, maintenance, or operational needs, FleetManager helps you maintain service reliability.

On the Right Track
For the last five years, Metrolinx (a government agency for the province of Ontario, Canada) has been using TrainPlan from Signature Rail Ltd as the primary rail timetabling and fleet resourcing planning software to plan rail services for the GO commuter railway and Union-Pearson Express airport line. Over 30 regular planners at Metrolinx Rail Service Design plan services across a network spanning over 780km of track across eight (8) corridors centrally connected to Toronto’s Union Station, planning both for daily operations and future transitions to regional express rail (the GO Expansion project).
During project delivery, we worked closely with Signature Rail to establish our requirements for a
robust rail planning software along with bespoke customizations for Toronto-specific operations.
The training provided by Signature Rail was comprehensive and detailed, with many goal-oriented practices to help reinforce learning.
As a result, many manual processes within and between operational teams at Metrolinx were automated or drastically reduced with TrainPlan’s emphasis on data-driven planning processes, ensuring that operating plans were transmitted to all operating stakeholders from a single source of truth.
This has drastically reduced the amount of time our planners spent managing stakeholders and manually updating operating documents, instead using that time to focus on the work of robust service planning.
