Company mission
To provide the most advanced software systems and data services to our rail clients - helping them to improve their customer’s experience every day whilst driving a positive change in the use of public transport.
Our take
Public transport remains a critical service and moves millions of people every day. Knowing what is about to happen, or how long on-going Rail service disruption may last is very important information to travellers.
Nexus Alpha provide intelligent transport systems, services and apps which focus on the capture, analysis, distribution and presentation of rail disruption information. They help operators manage and even predict actions required to keep services running as smoothly as possible. Nexus Alpha work with large clients such as Network Rail, Transport for London, London Underground and Docklands Light Railway.

The flexible work environment allows me to prioritise and plan my day, including personal activities. I find it empowering. Life is so much easier that way, and I don't need to book days off just to take care of minor stuff. Instead, I can catch up on my things later, and it is all good.

I've never worked at a company where I get along with everyone I work with. This not only makes the day-to-day of working more enjoyable and fun, but communication is more open allowing us to do our work better. Work nights out are SO much fun and I feel lucky to call a lot of my colleagues genuine friends too.
