crew transport accommodation

Crew members for train and freight services travel across the country frequently, meaning their schedules can often fluctuate. As your team could be needed anywhere — often with little forewarning — it’s crucial that you have systems in place to ensure that your crew are always well rested and arriving to work on time, wherever that may be.

Here at CMAC, our crew transport and accommodation management schedules transportation of passenger train and freight crew members. We’ll coordinate transport of your crew to and from depots and stations across the UK to make sure they are always where they need to be. From organisation to booking amendments, we facilitate transportation that offers full visibility of your team.

What we do

With over 10 years' experience in supporting scheduled crew movements, CMAC provides safe and compliant transport so you can provide a duty of care to your staff.

Our fully managed service is organised on behalf of your crew, meaning they won’t need to organise their own transport or accommodation. We only select contracted hotels that are optimal to your business needs, ensuring all crew can arrive at their shift on time to maximise production hours.

Our crew transport and accommodation services also allow you to stay compliant with workplace regulations. You can track your crew’s Hours of Rest (HOR) to confirm that they are getting enough mandated rest time, based on railroad work rules, CRA and FRA compliance.

How we do it

With our bespoke, purpose-built operating system, our dedicated planning team imports crew diagrams to auto-create bookings and assign suppliers.

With efficiency at the heart of our operations, we configure systems to automatically maximise taxi share opportunities. We also ensure that we always offer the most appropriate vehicle types and create bookings with correct cost centres.

We provide you with a pre-journey analysis that can be split by depot or station if required. This process allows us to react quickly to last-minute amends or additions in line with your schedules and crew timetables.
