NEXUS, study tour Potsdam-Brandenburg-Leipzig (10/2006)


(source: LVB)

Following purchase of SIEMENS VDO Vicos-Lio ITCS-software, Nexus, the Newcastle-on-Tyne PTA, did assign Axel Kuehn with the organisation of a study tour to share and benefit from the experience of other Vicos-Lio users in Germany.

This assignment is a typical example for a tailor-made study tour regarding a specific theme chosen by a client - very different from many other "normal" tours in the light rail, Regiorail and TramTrain-environment.

Cheap flight options from Newcastle Airport were initial conditions for planning the tour and resulted in two basic tour options in either Northrhine-Westphalia (via Duesseldorf Airport) or former East Germany (via Berlin-Schönefeld Airport) which have been outlined and evaluated.

The client´s final choice was "Going East" and a visit to Potsdam, Brandenburg and Leipzig within a tough 2 day slot. The feedback to the tour was extremely positive and Nexus took home valuable information and argumentation in order to improve their ITCS-scheme.
