Eversholt has also awarded Wabtec with a contract to complete overhauls of the LNER IC225 fleet at their Doncaster facility.

The locomotives will receive a G exam, which includes an overhaul of their bogies, gearboxes, wheelsets, cardan shafts, compressors and traction motors. A number of improvements are also planned to be completed.

Andy Derbyshire, Group Managing Director, Wabtec Faiveley UK, says “The award of this contract is excellent news for Wabtec Faiveley UK and our facility at Doncaster. We have developed a longstanding involvement with the IC225 fleet having worked on the vehicles since 2006.
