Furthermore our remote access systems will be available so that Customers have access to facilities at unstaffed stations.
Operational systems such as concentrators and clocks in train depots, Driver late notice screens in traincrew depots and Guards assisted dispatch CCTV at stations, will be maintained to a high standard to ensure that SWR can run a safe and punctual railway in line with its license conditions/obligations with the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
