		They have been using CAFM (Computer Aided Facilities Management) software, QFM, to manage their facilities since 2001 and believe they are the only train operator to exercise direction of FM operations in the way that they do – others tend to engage FM providers.
		Central Trains is not responsible for the entire infrastructure at their stations; for instance platform surfaces, footbridges and elements of the building structure are the responsibility of Network Rail.
