The £164,000 a year deal is the latest in a line of timetable production work for the Eastbourne-based company, having previously produced work for train operators including Connex and South West Trains.

Trevor Algar, managing director of Cliffe Enterprise, said: "We have been getting regular government contracts for over 20 years. Our previous experience printing timetables helped seal the deal for us.

"We've never been in the press before but have gained a good reputation and are one of the few companies to hold a pan governmental award."

Komori B1 and B2 presses will be used to print the documents, which range from 30 to 60pp.
