Access Transformation Programme - Access Planning

Transport for London Capital Programmes department is currently investing in the Major Upgrade Programme that willintroduce modern signalling, new rolling stock, new power systems, replacement tracks to London Underground (LU). This is with the aim of enabling more trains to be operated on the tube network and the introduction of the 24 hour weekend tubes, planned for November 2015. For the Major Upgrade and 24 hour weekend tube programmes to be a success, it has been identified that TfL must become more efficient at planning engineering works across the transport network. It has been recognised that access to TfL locations such as tracks, platforms, sidings, stations, bus and rail depots must be improved. This has resulted in the creation of the Access Transformation Programme (ATP) which is a programme aimed at improving access efficiency to all TfL locations through better coordination of resource and use of technology. To support this, there is a requirement for a new Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) planning and scheduling software application that will help simplify the current access, scheduling and booking process for all engineering and maintenance works across the TfL transport network. The system will be hosted externally.
