Colas has secured a strategic contract to operate and maintain mobile maintenance trains in the UK
Colas Rail UK has signed a five-year contract with Network Rail to operate and maintain its fleet of Mobile Maintenance Trains (MMT). The contract is worth approximately €40 million.
Built by Robel, the eight Mobile Maintenance Trains enable engineers and track workers to carry out repairs, renewals and upgrades across Britain’s 20,000 mile rail network more quickly, efficiently, and safely.
These “workshop on wheels” are designed to reduce disruption to passenger and freight services and provide a protected working environment. The fleet is strategically based across Network Rail’s delivery units throughout England.
"This contract demonstrates Network Rail’s confidence in Colas Rail as a preferred supplier. It is a wonderful recognition of our team’s expertise, their capacity of innovation, and their operational excellence", said Hervé Le Joliff, President of Colas Rail.
Colas Rail has been operating in the UK for over 25 years, drawing on its comprehensive expertise in twelve rail businesses to design, build and maintain innovative, sustainable and safe transport infrastructure.
