Our new T8000 Tracked Colmars have had a busy month working on the @Transpennine Route Upgrade to install new stanchions, and also replacing sleepers and renewing ballast at our plant depot in Frondingham. #cando #rail #groundedyetsoaring

Last month, one of our new tracked Colmar RRV’s completed its first shift at Bradford Forster Square, helping to install troughing and recover redundant signals. #colmar #cando #groundedyetsoaring

Our programme manager, James Kelly will be speaking on extracting value from the supply chain at tomorrow's Light Rail & Trams for a sustainable, carbon-neutral tomorrow seminar, hosted by @PWInstitution? #lightRail #seminar #event #PWI2024 #LightRailProffesionals

We have three new editions to our fleet of Colmar road rail vehicles. These machines will now undergo final tests before commencing work on site later this month. To learn more about our fleet of road road vehicles, visit: volkerrail.co.uk/en/rail-pant/r… #cando #plant #colmar #rail

We are delighted to announce that the first electric trains have successfully completed test runs along the recently electrified section of railway between York and Church Fenton as part of TRU bit.ly/4evHGIJ @networkrail @MurphyGroup1951 @SiemensMobility @SYSTRA_UKIRL

The arrival of a second S&C Beaver tamper from Holland allows our team to work in close partnership with VolkerRail Netherlands, to trial a new shared ownership approach, to help meet increasing demand in both countries. volkerrail.co.uk/en/news/partne… #cando #rail #beavertampers

Recently, one of our Colmar Road Rail Vehicles assisted our Metro and Rail division in the removal and replacement of hopper grids, which prevent unwanted material from entering the blast furnace, as part of the track renewal works at British Steel. #cando #rail #colmar

A rare moment was captured at our depot in Scunthorpe, as all three of our Beaver tampers were together. We now operate the largest fleet of Beaver tampers in the UK, meaning we have greater flexibility and can offer tandem S&C tamping. #cando #beavertamper #groundedyetsoaring

The S&C Beaver tamper has safely arrived at our Scunthorpe depot, just 15 hours after leaving Dordrecht. After machine familiarisation, the next stop will be Tuxford, so it can receive its Engineering Compliance Certificate. #rail #beavertamper #tampertuesday #tampingtuesday

A new partnership with Dutch @VolkerRail, means we have a new addition to our fleet of tampers! The S&C Beaver tamper has already completed its journey from Rotterdam to the UK by ferry and is now travelling from Hull to our depot in Scunthorpe. #rail #beavertamper #tamper

Our Beaver tamper team has been out in the sun at Marcheys House junction near Ashington, tamping 600 metres of track after a recent ballast renewal. #beavertamper #rail #groundedyetsoaring
