Client Feedback:
“Just a quick note to put into writing after I mentioned on the call (…) that I was in a meeting with ST, Depot Engineering Lead from Northern Trains and he mentioned how impressed he was with the way this design is being organised and facilitated, and that he and his operational colleagues took a lot from it.“
