The UK rail network has
seen the introduction of the first fleet of trains since the days
of steam. Virgin Pendolinos are a totally new type of train with
revolutionary new features. Part of the package is a different approach
to passengers. Stale old sandwiches and stewed tea are a thing of
the past. Customers have access to a range of refreshments and merchandise
both at-seat, or from the on-board shop. Leading improvement of
the travel experience with more than 1,600 journeys a week.
In this ambitious project with £ Billions
of investment at stake, Virgin was intent on making a real difference.
Stringent Rail Operating Standards governed every aspect. Even the
smallest, most insignificant components had to comply. To deliver
this paradigm shift in train service, Virgin needed a software application
in line with the innovation demanded, the governing standards enforced
and the fail safe performance demanded in this most complex world
of logistics. |
