Colas Rail, one of the leading providers of rail infrastructure services in the world, is the first UK freight operator to adopt HaCon’s train planning system TPS.

TPS Operator has been specifically developed for transport companies that cooperate with major infrastructure managers like Network Rail according to common standards in order to create their timetables. In working closely with their clients and partners, Colas Rail takes a flexible and collaborative approach that allows them to meet their customers’ changing needs and requirements.

TPS allows Colas Rail’s train planners to model, create and adapt optimal schedules across the complex railway infrastructure of Great Britain that has some 32,000 km of network. Each year, over 100 million tonnes of freight is transported across the countr. Over the last ten years, there is 60% more freight carried by rail than there was a decade ago. With TPS, Colas Rail is well-prepared for the future and can constantly respond to the ever-increasing needs across the country.
