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 👉 bit.ly/3WE1AbK Messenger 👉 bit.ly/3jmQ85Y

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.

After yesterday’s overcrowding at London Bridge station, today’s peak rush hour will be even worse according to our demand prediction data.

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.🕺 zipabout.com/news/we-dont-k…

To put this in perspective, typical transport information apps struggle to get above 25% retention. apptentive.com/blog/travel-ap… Just shows the huge stickiness of Zipabout’s personalised, no-app messaging approach - passengers really like using our service. 😍 🧵4/4

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%.) 🧵3/4

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.🚉 zipabout.com/news/statistic… 🧵1/4

@MattWestern_ a nice international success story for a UK tech company based in #leamington

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. 🚃🚌 zipabout.com/news/improving…

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.🙂🙂 🧵5/5

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. 🧵4/4

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. 🧵1/4

Another UK self-driving success as First Bus launches EV-powered service near Didcot in Oxfordshire @FusionProc @RicHolden @FirstBusnews @OxfordshireCC @ZipaboutHQ carsofthefuture.co.uk/mp-holden-uk-f…

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? 👇 zipabout.com/news/how-does-…

UK’s first autonomous bus set to launch at Oxfordshire’s Milton Park ✨🚌🚀 @MiltonPark @OxfordCity @ZipaboutHQ @FusionProc @FirstBusnews @UWEBristol @innovateuk #oxonnews #oxonhour #businessnews #businessintelligence bit.ly/3j44EQ8

Thank you to all the consortium partners: @FirstGroupplc, @FusionProc, @OxfordshireCC, @MiltonPark and @UWEBristol for bringing this project to fruition! news.firstbus.co.uk/news/first-bus…

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. 👇

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. 👇
