A passenger has a ticket for yesterday’s train. What do I do?

Check the fare rules for missed trains. If the delay was caused by the operator, accept the ticket and note it; otherwise sell the difference, per section 6.

Which platform does the connection to the coast leave from?

Platform 3, departing 14:22. You have eight minutes after we arrive, per today’s timetable.

A wheelchair user needs help getting off at the next stop.

Radio the next station to have the ramp ready and note the coach number. Staff meet the train at the accessible door.

Example conversation

The problem

Trains run through tunnels, cuttings and rural stretches where the signal disappears. Conductors handle fare disputes, accessibility requests and incidents from memory. Rulebooks are long, updated often, and hard to search on the move.

Who uses it

Conductors, train managers and onboard catering staff on long-distance and regional routes.

What you train it on

  • Fare and ticket rules
  • Onboard procedures
  • Accessibility guidance
  • Timetables and connections

How it works on the device

  1. 1

    Trained on rulebooks and fares

    Fare rules, ticket validity, onboard procedures and accessibility guidance become the assistant’s knowledge.

  2. 2

    Answers between stations

    The model runs on the handheld, so tunnels and cuttings make no difference.

  3. 3

    Updated at the depot

    New fare rules and timetables arrive when devices are back on the depot network.

Why it runs on the device

  • Fair, consistent decisions

    Every conductor applies the same rule to the same situation.

  • No signal needed

    Answers come from the handheld, not the network.

  • Quicker help for passengers

    Connections and accessibility answers come in seconds.
