Rail service icon

Train crews have a number of specialised workplace requirements, which is why it’s vital that their employers are providing an appropriate duty of care. Crew members play a pivotal role in the transportation industry, so it’s crucial that they can get to their starting points safely and are returned back home after their route is completed.

We understand that the cost of moving crews is minimal when compared to the cost of an idle train. Our specialist rail division is committed to getting your crews where they need to be — on time, safe, rested and ready to work.

With over 14 years of experience, we pride ourselves in providing compliant, reliable and punctual crew transportation and repositioning services to freight and passenger railways.

What we do

Our purpose-built rail operating system allows us to effectively manage planned crew movement. This includes transporting crew members to and from train stations and depots, as well as providing them with accommodation if required.

We’ve streamlined our processes to align with the individual timetables and schedules of staff, ensuring they’re always where they need to be, when they need to be there.

We completely manage the logistics of your crew, ensuring that wherever they are in the country, they’ll always be taken care of and right on schedule.

How we do it

Our dedicated planning team imports crew diagrams (LTP and STP) on behalf of clients to auto-create bookings and assign suppliers. This intelligent system is bespoke to CMAC and offers a cost-cutting alternative to in-house solutions.

We have the capability to configure the system in order to maximise taxi share opportunities, utilise appropriate vehicle types and create bookings with correct cost centres automatically.

Clients may also request a pre-journey analysis that can be split by cost centre or depot. With a dedicated planning team, we’re able to override the system and react quickly to last-minute amends, cancellations or crew additions.
