The Challenge For Softech
A new phase in passenger service was inaugurated with the introduction of 9-car FLU 345 trains operating on the eastern route, specifically from London Liverpool Street to Shenfield station. In response to this, a dedicated project was initiated to improve the operational efficiency and to reduce costs, by enabling Driver Only Operation (DOO). New Train Ready to Start (TRTS) Plungers were provided across all platforms at Shenfield station (Platforms 1 to 6) for bi-directional trains.
Softech executed the installation phase with precision, adhering to approved designs and safety standards to ensure efficient implementation of project components. We conducted thorough testing and commissioning activities within the designated timeframe and possession limits, ensuring the functionality and reliability of the installed systems.
Feedback
“Softech team and CREs were highly experienced …pro-actively worked on this project, for not only design but installation too. This allowed for a timely and efficient resolution.”
Sam Adams
“Softech was pro-active in collaborating with all stakeholders including Network Rail and Train Operators to create Operational Requirement Specification. This gave a clarity of the scope which was very sketchy before Softech was on board.”
