Network Rail is upgrading its patrol systems to manage security and maintenance activities at 17 mainline train stations.

The rail company believes the upgraded software will improve staff productivity, ensure consistent service delivery and provide vital management information.

It has signed a £100,000 contract with Contemporary Enterprises Innovise division to implement the upgraded software throughout the year.

The upgraded system uses an Oracle database and handheld devices running on a Microsoft Pocket PC.

Network Rail manages a number of major mainline stations including Charing Cross, Waterloo, Euston, Fenchurch Street, Paddington and Victoria.
