Journeo, an Ashby-de-la-Zouch-based provider of information systems and technical services to transport operators and local authorities, has secured a £4.2m purchase order from Alstom.
It will see Journeo design and supply CCTV and Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) systems to enhance safety, security and operational efficiency on Alstom’s CrossCountry Voyager fleets.
The purchase order forms part of a major refurbishment programme being carried out by Alstom for 70 Voyager trains and encompasses 312 cars, comprising 136 Voyager (Class 220) and 176 Super Voyager (Class 221) vehicles respectively.
Journeo have already commenced design and initial equipment supply and will support Alstom during the installation phase being carried out at their Derby Litchurch Lane facility which is due for completion in 2027.
Russ Singleton, Chief Executive, Journeo, said: “We are delighted to be working with Alstom at their historic Litchurch Lane facility in Derby as an integral part of this important refurbishment programme of the CrossCountry Voyager fleet.
“The application of Journeo’s technology to help prolong the life of existing rolling stock, alongside its implementation on new trains, demonstrates the flexibility of our solutions and how their use can support sustainable rejuvenation of fleets.
“The installations are underpinned by Journeo’s core IP, enabling the operator to manage operation-critical data, such as occupancy data and securely captured and stored high-definition CCTV evidence through the SaaS Journeo Portal.”
