Leicestershire-based transport system services provider, Journeo PLC, has announced that it has received a purchase order for £2.1m from Metroline Manchester for the provision of its on-board bus safety systems and cloud-based services.

The firm will install its latest high-definition digital CCTV systems on approximately 300 new vehicles that are due to enter service in January 2025, according to Market Screener.

It is expected that the majority of this work will be completed by December 2024, which is included in management’s expectations of performance for the current financial year. Metroline Manchester, part of ComfortDelGro Group, have been awarded contracts to operate four franchises in Greater Manchester by Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).

“I am delighted that Metroline Manchester have selected our technology, software and services for their four franchised routes in the GMCA region to enhance driver and passenger safety, with secure remote access to their on-board systems for incident management,” said Chief Executive Russ Singleton.
