Our approach to service planning combines network development, customer service, and operational robustness.

Support the medium- to long-term vision of the network by gradually building capacity on existing and planned infrastructure in response to present and emerging customer demand. It is the last step of planning before the delivery of the final customer product: a successful timetable. It therefore takes inputs from multiple stakeholders and synthesises the outcome in a legible service map that typically details breakdown of service frequencies, per direction and time of day. At this stage, the introduction of operational modeling can help validate, amend or reject service plans, using quantitative data to improve robustness of service planning and timetabling.

This process is naturally iterative, as conflicting requirements are resolved and opportunities arise. Operational modeling also allows us to predict timetable reliability, using the likes of dynamic timetable simulation to give a percentage of scheduled services arriving within a strategic target time.

• Network Horizon planning

Make confident decisions, putting the customer front and center, from strategy to concept, and operation.

The right customer insights, in the right format, at the right time is critical for transport project success. Often, we see either too little insight leaving decisions open to opinion and assumptions, or too much data confusing decisions and stifling action. Our customer research offering – provided in partnership with specialist research agency, Ne-Lo – first identifies the question or hypothesis being tested, before using the most appropriate research method(s) with the most relevant audience in order to provide clear insights for confident decision making.
