Our Customers

I’ve worked with TrainPlan and the fine folks in York for over 20 years. I’m not aware of any agency on this continent that has conquered an undertaking of this magnitude – schedules, crewing, equipment cycles, terminal and yard planning, passenger connections, downstream systems, etc. The project team is to be commended – it’s taken everyone’s efforts. Work continues, of course, but it’s my hope that Metro North’s system will stand as the model for North American passenger railroads.

TrainPlan allows us to manage our data in an efficient manner allowing for safe and high performing service changes to be implemented as quickly as possible. This has been a particularly important capability over the past ten months given the volume of timetable changes we’ve had to make and continue to have to make.

We have had an excellent relationship for many, many years. The team are service minded to our needs. It is more like colleagues than a vendor/customer relationship: they have their mind on getting the railway running. They understand rail and offer good advice on how to proceed. It’s been very, very good.

Data processing is much quicker using Signature Rail software and the increased visual clarity on graphs produces a far more accurate result.
