The economical and ecological way to revive Britain's branch lines
Our first objective is to provide affordable leasing of lightweight rolling stock,
ready for use on any line.
Demonstrations - short term trial services need to be especially low in cost, and
can start at as little as £2000.
Full service - once the concept is proven, new vehicles built for the specific application
can be provided. A single railcar, for just 30 passengers, could cost just £3800
a month; or two railcars each carrying 120 people on a busier route would be £18,000
a month.
But that isn't the only thing community rail operations require.
Business planning and startup finance - we will provide short term risk lending to
help develop the organisation and business plan for a new service. This could include
recruiting and training staff, branding and publicity.
Depot and maintenance facilities - in many cases, a suitable depot and secure stage
facility will not exist. We will provide lease finance for a depot of your specification.
A package of services sufficient to revive most branch lines
