Who We Are

We build safer,
smarter rail operations.

DocuRail is a British technology company transforming how railway teams plan,
brief and sign off critical works.

Our Story

Our mission is simple, eliminate paperwork, delays and compliance risk.

DocuRail was founded to solve a problem that every rail planner knows too well: paperwork slows down safety. We built a digital platform where Safe Work Packs, Any Line Open plans, Plant Operating Schemes, Task Briefs, and Permits can be created, shared, and approved without losing time or traceability.

What started as a simple form builder has become a complete compliance system trusted across live rail projects.

What drives us.

Safety

Every feature exists to protect people first.

Accuracy

We make rail data reliable and audit-ready.

Accountability

Every action is traceable and owned.

Service

Real support from people who understand rail.

Built by people who understand rail.

Our team combines railway planning experience with software engineering expertise.

We work directly with operations managers, possession planners, and responsible managers to ensure every workflow aligns with Network Rail standards like COP0032.This mix of field knowledge and technical precision keeps DocuRail relevant and practical.

Leadership.

DocuRail was founded by Anthony Young, a railway access planner with decades of experience in operations, compliance, and digital transformation.

His goal was to give rail teams tools that work as hard as they do — fast, compliant, and reliable.

Today, DocuRail continues to evolve with that same focus: practical innovation that makes every site safer.
