New contract win Angel Trains

Cordel Group PLC (AIM: CRDL), the Artificial Intelligence platform for transport corridor analytics, is pleased to announce another contract win through our partnership with Angel Trains Ltd.

Cordel's Locate system will be used to accurately pinpoint track geometry data gathered from High Speed Class 390 tilting trains, traveling at up to 125mph in passenger service, on Network Rail's West Coast Main Line.

The project will provide a more cost-effective and frequent alternative to the current dedicated infrastructure monitoring trains, which are supplemented by boots-on-ballast inspections. Cordel will deliver accurately located network information to infrastructure engineers, to enable track maintenance to be optimised.

Angel Trains' Product Manager Infrastructure Monitoring, Brian Reynolds said, "Effective engineering hardware and software collaboration with Cordel and the team should deliver cohesive and streamlined solutions. Network Rail will be able to deliver increased availability for operators and more reliable services for passengers using Cordel's infrastructure inspection process."

Cordel CEO, John Davis said, "By capturing track geometry data from in-service trains, Cordel  will deliver rapid, refined and relevant feedback on the quality of the track. Cordel and our partners continuously work together to develop new hardware and software solution-sets and this project further expands our portfolio of train fleet implementations."
