Alstom booked $4 billion of orders in its third quarter, between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2019, compared with nearly $3.8 billion over the same period in the previous fiscal year. Sales during the quarter increased to $2.3 billion from $2.2 billion a year ago. Between April and December 2019, Alstom’s order intake reached about $9.1 billion, and sales reached about $6.9 billion, up 3 percent compared with the same period in the last fiscal year. Alstom’s order intake benefitted from strong momentum in Europe and Asia Pacific, with a major contract for Perth’s rail network in Australia, and significant orders in signaling and services, company officials said in a press release.

Siemens Mobility is using Fabasoft’s cloud-based correspondence management system to serve as a central platform to share information and ensure compliance with deadlines and security directives on some multiyear projects. The platform allows Siemens to work with project partners quickly and transparently, Siemens officials said in a press release. The company is using the platform for a delivery project with VIA Rail Canada Inc.

Omio has partnered with Amtrak and VIA Rail Canada to offer ticket booking services through Omio's website and mobile application. The platform enables users to compare ticket prices, view train schedules and buy tickets. Omio launched its platform in the United States and Canada for the first time this month, company officials said in a press release.
