Storm Larissa is creating significant travel disruption this week. If you're travelling by rail, plan ahead and check your journey for disruption with @nationalrailenq's Alert Me service. Get started here:
WhatsApp 👉 https://t.co/qU9sClServ
Messenger 👉 https://t.co/5Kw5TeOOVP
Passengers caught up in crowds at London Bridge have complained about the lack of information from station staff. We can help with that too - we can keep you informed about crowding and disruption through the ‘Alert Me’ service on @nationalrailenq. Access with the QR code below.
We don’t know who needs to know this but…YOU DON’T NEED A JOURNEY PLANNER
All UK train operators already have free access to the Zipabout journey planning system. And it truly is all singing and all dancing.🕺

To put this in perspective, typical transport information apps struggle to get above 25% retention. https://t.co/3AMxcpawEv
Just shows the huge stickiness of Zipabout’s personalised, no-app messaging approach - passengers really like using our service. 😍

Statistics show…Zipabout is a grower and a keeper 📈
Looking back at 2022, we see that by December 2022, Zipabout was sending over 2 million messages a month.
That's an increase of almost 250% since the beginning of that year.🚉

When we attract new users to our real-time communication platform, they stay. 🙂 75% of customers who use it on WhatsApp come back each quarter. (That’s not users proactively asking to be opted out of messaging. Zipabout’s active opt-out rate is less than 2%.)

Exciting!📣 We are working with Malaysian 🇲🇾🇬🇧 mobility-as-a-service platform company Asia Mobiliti on a government-backed collaboration to improve access to transport for millions of people in Kuala Lumpur. 🚃🚌

Now @EastMidRailway passengers are accessing the real-time update service straight from their 🚉platform, making their journey easier - without needing to download another app - and freeing up railway employees👩✈️to attend to more complex customer needs.🙂🙂

The Zipabout team have been working hard for @EastMidRailway to make journeys easier for their rural passengers.🚉🌳Some train stations in the #Lincolnshire countryside are small and quite isolated, making it hard to provide the latest travel information to customers.

Zipabout sends more than a million messages a month📊to rail passengers. Most of those customers come into our system when they first plan their journey or via the train operators’ website.

Another UK self-driving success as First Bus launches EV-powered service near Didcot in Oxfordshire @FusionProc@RicHolden @FirstBusnews @OxfordshireCC @ZipaboutHQ https://t.co/bXbsLo0XWB
We want to support train operators in their mission to protect rail passengers and optimise safety at every stage of a journey.
That's why our Itinerary feature is so important.
So, how does it work? 👇

Thank you to all the consortium partners: @FirstGroupplc, @FusionProc, @OxfordshireCC, @MiltonPark and @UWEBristol for bringing this project to fruition!

An exciting day today as the UK's first-ever zero emission autonomous bus service commences its trials on public roads in Oxfordshire!
The innovative, fully-electric bus service will serve Milton Park, and aims to change travel behaviour and support net-zero carbon targets.
👇
The service will improve the way people move both around the park, which is home to 250 companies and 9,000 employees, and the wider Didcot region.
The 16-seat single-decker bus is also equipped with a driver on board to provide a personalised service and info to passengers.
