Echo1 is an operations platform for train operating companies, covering communications, training and operations, with live displays.
Route knowledge confirmed properly, and retention flagged while there is still time to do something about it.
Competence captured as it happens, so what an investigation or an audit asks for is already there.
Training and assessment arranged in one place, with the right people told and the record kept.
Echo1 was designed by a serving train driver and manager.
Someone who has done the phone calls, written the assessments, kept the records, and understood the practical realities behind them. It is shaped by operational experience, so the platform reflects how the job is done, while complementing the many good tools already in the industry.
A train data download becomes a written assessment, without the transcribing.
Reading a trace by hand is slow work. Holding a key, clicking between events to time them, typing the figures into a form, then writing it all up. Echo1 reads the download and does that part, so the manager spends their time on the judgement rather than the arithmetic.
