Blaise Prélot, Technical Project Manager at STADLER, said:
“We are pleased to continue our successful collaboration with CORYS and are looking forward to delivering a high quality driving simulator to support the driver training on the Stadler new fleet for Nexus”.
John Madden, Commercial Manager at CORYS, said:
“This contract with Stadler builds on our 20 year presence in the United Kingdom. We are delighted to have been selected by Stadler for all their metro contracts in the UK following previous projects in Liverpool and Glasgow. We look forward to working with Stadler and Nexus to deliver a state of the art driver training system .”
