Connecting passengers and enhancing experience, safely, efficiently and sustainably

As the transport industry focuses on enabling people in the UK to travel more safely and sustainably it must also keep costs down, for passengers and in terms of operational efficiency. We help tackle these challenges with our unique blend of transformational and technology expertise, working in close collaboration with the country’s largest transport providers.

Whether passengers are flying abroad on holiday, taking the train to work, or heading off in the car for a family outing, we’ve been playing a part in helping to improve their journeys.

From running the world’s largest Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), to planning local roads, to building next-generation intelligent railway infrastructure and air traffic control systems, and creating user-friendly integrated ticket systems for Network Rail and bus networks, we deliver critical services in partnership with the public service operators to keep people on the move.

Transforming transport programmes with innovation

Thanks to our combination of transport industry and technology expertise, and an in-depth understanding of system integration, we’re at the heart of many of the major transport transformation initiatives in the UK.

London’s Ultra-Low Emission Zone
We’re operating the rapid expansion of Ultra-Low Emission Zone for Transport for London (TfL), delivering digital transformation underpinned by the largest ever cloud migration in Europe at the time.

London North East Railway and Go-Ahead Group
We’ve delivered procurement transformation to create huge efficiencies for the London North East Railway and Go-Ahead Group so they can release additional funds for frontline services.

Transport for London’s Congestion Charge Scheme
We provide the end-to-end management of TfL’s Congestion Charge Scheme, from payments and customer support to enforcement. These comprise IT, back office and contact centre services and systems, as well as complex IT integration with third parties, such as the ANPR camera provider and European debt recovery agencies

Enhancing passenger experience

Our driving force is to provide the best possible experience for the UK traveller whilst having a positive impact on both the environment and the economy. This includes partnerships with organisations such as Network Rail, National Highways, Transport for London (TfL) and National Air Traffic Services (NATS)

Improving the availability of the UK's rail infrastructure
We've been providing expertise to Network Rail to understand what's likely to go wrong and when, and what the impact will be, so we can intervene to prevent impacts to train services country wide.

Keeping passengers informed and connected
We’ve designed and delivered smart scheduling programmes and services - such as Wi-Fi – to connect 100,000 people a day on the London Underground.

Supporting communities with cleaner air and creating jobs
We recruited 700 people in the West Midlands to support the expansion of Transport for London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone, helping to reduce carbon emissions in London whilst strengthening the regional economy in the West Midlands.
