TrainFX are pleased to announce that the last remaining Class 313 unit has now been fully installed and commissioned as part of the Class 313 Southern Rail refurbishment project, in conjunction with Wabtec Rail.
All 19 units now benefit from a European standards compliant and fully functional TrainFX Advanced Passenger Information System comprising: forward and saloon displays, a fully integrated audio system, cab to cab communications, PA and automated announcements; crew communications and call for aid. In addition, 5 units have been fitted with the TrainFX integrated Automated Passenger Counting system.
Passengers on Southern Rail’s south coastway line will now benefit from having real time passenger information both to and from the train, enabling the train operator to communicate remotely to passengers throughout the journey, informing them of short term disruptions and general travel information.
The Automated Passenger Counting System provides real time, highly accurate data on passenger numbers, allowing the train operator to manage its capacity planning more effectively.
TrainFX Managing Director Phil Campbell said: “I am delighted to see the successful completion of this project and for TrainFX to have played a part in improving journey time information to passengers on the south coastway”.
