Information systems provider lands two contracts worth £3m

Journeo, a provider of information systems and services for transport operators, has secured two contracts totalling £3m for its onboard CCTV and automatic passenger counting (APC) solutions.

The first contract, valued at £2.4m, involves supplying CCTV and APC, along with design and support services, to the Porterbrook Class 170 fleet. The fleet includes 35 trains for East Midlands Railway (EMR) and 29 for CrossCountry, totalling 158 carriages.

The second contract, worth £600,000 is with Arriva Train Care. Journeo will provide CCTV and APC, along with design and support services, to the Angel Trains Class 158 fleet, which includes 16 trains for EMR, totalling 32 carriages.

For both contracts, Journeo will offer full support during the design phase and initial installation of the systems.

All systems will be securely connected to the Journeo cloud-based software via existing train-to-shore communications, creating additional monthly SaaS licensing revenues.

Russ Singleton, chief executive of Journeo, said: “I am delighted that these large rail companies have selected our technology, software and services to enhance passenger safety, monitor infrastructure and provide a fleet-wide view of live and historical occupancy data. As each system comes online, our services and live passenger information will be available to these operators and their end users on the Journeo portal, adding to Groups’ monthly recurring SaaS revenues.”
