Network Rail £0.8m Passenger Information Systems Purchase Order

Journeo plc (AIM: JNEO), the information systems and transport technical services group, is pleased to announce that its recently acquired subsidiary, Infotec, has received a £0.8m purchase order from Network Rail for the manufacture and supply of passenger information displays for Leeds Station.

Leeds Station, managed by Network Rail, is the 11^th busiest rail station in the UK and services many routes radiating in all directions from Leeds. Passengers using this large and busy station are predominantly serviced by the train operators Northern, TransPennine Express, Cross County and LNER.

Infotec's new displays will replace existing LED displays originally manufactured and supplied by Infotec in 2007 and comprise a mixture of high efficiency white LED displays and full colour TFT displays to offer passengers more comprehensive and richer information presented on modern easier to read display equipment.

The display systems are scheduled to enter production during H2 with revenue recognised this financial year included in management's expectations of performance for FY2023.

Russ Singleton, Chief Executive of Journeo plc, commented: "The Tetrus range of Network Rail approved display systems have been installed in approximately 80% of stations across the UK over the last 10-15 years and these new displays connect directly into the customer's existing platform to work alongside legacy equipment. This interoperability, in conjunction with the Group's reputation for quality, high-performance and durability is driving growth in our revenues, order book and sales pipeline."
