Route 101 helps leading rail service provider deliver smarter travel support across channels

Discover how South Western Railway replaced legacy systems and introduced self-service to simplify operations and improve satisfaction.

South Western Railway Route 101 Case Study 2026 1000 x 600

South Western Railway (SWR) operates more than 1,500 services a day and employs over 5,000 people, running commuter, regional, and long-distance journeys across South West London, southern England and the Isle of Wight’s Island Line — while also connecting passengers to nearby ports and airports.

The team had relied on a Microsoft Dynamics CRM system for over a decade, but with changing passenger expectations and growing demand, SWR needed a more modern solution. They were looking to improve case handling, reduce admin, access customisable reports, and give customers a consistent experience across every channel.

Download the case study to learn how Route 101 helped SWR:

  • Implement a modern ticketing platform (Zendesk Suite Enterprise) to improve customer service across every channel.
  • Introduce a Help Centre to enable customer self-service.
  • Build a custom application to manage refunds and print vouchers more easily.
