Operating enhancements for First Scotrail Sleeper to be delivered by EWS
and Axiom Rail
http://www.ews-railway.co.uk/cmsystem/news_alt.asp
EWS and Axiom Rail are completing a series of changes and improvements for
the operation of First Scotrail Caledonian Sleeper services. EWS was
recently awarded a contract to operate the Caledonian Sleeper services for
the duration of First Scotrail's franchise.
EWS operate First Scotrail's Caledonian Sleeper services that connect
Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Fort William, Glasgow, Inverness with London. EWS has
developed a long association with the Caledonian Sleeper since 1996.
EWS will introduce modern and reliable class 67 locomotives for operation
of Sleeper services between Edinburgh and Fort William on the West
Highland Line on 10 June. Class 67 locomotives are already in use between
Edinburgh and Aberdeen/Inverness.
Axiom Rail, part of EWS, has commenced preparing and repainting the first
of five class 90 locomotives for haulage on Sleeper services between
London and Edinburgh/Glasgow. A striking new livery has been designed to
complement the newly refurbished sleeping and lounge compartments, which
are also being overhauled by Axiom Rail as part of a £1 million upgrade.
The first of the new look locomotives are expected to enter into service
during June.
Mick Bostock, EWS National Business Manager Rail and Passenger Services,
said: "EWS has over ten years of experience in operating the Caledonian
Sleeper, and we are pleased to have won this new contract from First
Scotrail. We look forward to implementing these operational improvements
as part of the contract, as we continue to deliver a reliable service for
passengers on these important cross-border services."
