Sparkling trains with little water

Respect is as “Easy as 1-2-3”. In conjunction with the National Respect in Public Transport Day on 3 May, the CFL present how the notion of respect coincides with the quality of service offered to customers. It’s a constant process, often carried out behind the scenes

A water treatment and recycling plant worthy of a municipality. A high-tech washing system. Trains up to 200 metres long that shine in just 30 minutes.

The CFL train wash is one of those technical and technological jewels that contribute to the quality of service provided to our customers. Summer and winter alike, Mike and his team from the Trains and Equipment Service Operations Centre have been running the train wash since 2012.

As previously covered, the passion of the CFL’s employees enable us to make substantial improvements to our processes, and therefore to the way our tools work. In this case, Mike and his team had modified the washing station and the cleaning software to optimise its operation, with gains in speed and a drastic reduction in water consumption. All with an environmentally friendly cleaning system.
