Interdepartmental and real-time data management will be crucial for any rail operator to survive the continuing uncertainty.

A live webinar audienced heard from leading rail operators, infrastructure owners and digitalisation experts Smart Motors on adopting the technologies and strategies to gain maximum benefit from available data.
