Products & Services

The Data & Technology category brings together suppliers providing the technology and systems that power modern railway operations. This includes solutions for collecting, analysing and acting on data – from condition monitoring and diagnostics to passenger information displays and fare collection systems. Here you’ll find companies offering railway data platforms, on-board monitoring equipment, cybersecurity solutions, train control and scheduling software, and passenger-facing technologies such as real-time journey updates, ticketing and entertainment systems.

Railway electrification systems supply electric power to trains via overhead lines, third rail or ground-level power systems. Overhead line equipment (OLE) is typically used on mainline routes, while third rail is common on metro and suburban networks. Ground-level power supply systems are also used, particularly for trams, and are only energised when in contact with the vehicle. Suppliers in this category provide design, installation and maintenance services for railway electrification infrastructure.

Suppliers in this category provide hardware and integrated systems for monitoring the performance, safety and security of railway infrastructure and rolling stock. This includes condition monitoring, obstacle detection, asset tracking, cybersecurity protection and sensor technologies that enable predictive maintenance and operational efficiency.

This category includes systems and services that deliver real-time information, entertainment, connectivity and communication to passengers throughout their journey. Solutions range from on-board displays and public address systems to journey planning apps, Wi-Fi and ticketing interfaces. Suppliers in this category help operators improve the passenger experience and keep travellers informed and connected.

Rolling stock refers to complete railway vehicles used for passenger and freight transport, including locomotives, multiple units, wagons and coaches. This category focuses on the design, engineering and manufacture of entire vehicles, along with vehicle certification, procurement and integration services. It also includes interior design and fit-out solutions, which are detailed further under the Train Interiors subcategory.

Railway services support the end-to-end operation, maintenance and optimisation of rail networks. This includes asset management services, rolling stock leasing, consultancy and financial services. Suppliers in this category offer tailored solutions that help rail operators, infrastructure managers and governments improve efficiency, reduce costs and deliver high-performing passenger and freight services.

Signalling, communications and train control systems are essential for the safe and efficient operation of railway networks. This category includes solutions for both onboard and trackside applications, covering conventional signalling, cab signalling, ETCS, CBTC, and digital train control systems. It also includes voice and data communication technologies, remote control systems, and automatic train operation (ATO). Suppliers in this section offer components, integrated systems and software for managing train movements, maintaining safe separation and enabling network-wide coordination.

Track covers all aspects of rail infrastructure directly related to the track itself, including materials, maintenance and the machines and vehicles used to lay and maintain it. It also covers other rail infrastructure areas, such as stations, bridges, tunnels, depots and more.

Train components include the major sub-systems that make up a rail vehicle, such as traction and power systems, braking systems, running gear and body structures. This section covers suppliers involved in the design and manufacture of individual components that enable rail vehicles to operate safely, efficiently and reliably across freight and passenger services.

Train interiors cover the design, materials and equipment used inside passenger rail vehicles to ensure safety, comfort and accessibility. This includes seating, flooring, lighting, toilets, luggage storage, partitions and more. Interior design plays a key role in enhancing the passenger experience and meeting regulatory standards. This category features suppliers of train interior components, complete fit-outs, refurbishment solutions and custom design services.

Train overhaul, maintenance and refurbishment services are essential to keep rolling stock safe, reliable and compliant with regulatory standards. This category includes everything from routine servicing and inspections to mid-life overhauls and full refurbishments. Services may involve mechanical and electrical system upgrades, interior modernisation, exterior repainting and the replacement of worn components. Whether scheduled or condition-based, these activities help extend the service life of vehicles, improve energy efficiency and enhance passenger comfort.
