Description: Transport UK (Operations) Limited (“Transport UK”) (formerly known as Abellio Transport Holdings Limited) is dedicated to offering safer, more reliable and easier rail journeys. A leading transport operating group, Transport UK focuses on transforming the industry and working with partners to offer a more convenient and better service to make people’s lives easier. Transport UK runs train operators East Midlands Railway and West Midlands Railway (including its sub-brand, London Northwestern Railway), as well as the MerseyRail concession in a 50:50 joint venture with Serco. It operates Transport UK London Bus services with 700 buses on over 47 London routes, has recently invested in a major new depot and will shortly introduce electric buses on a number of its routes. Midlands Limited is pleased and proud to be the operator of EMR. It’s our vision to drive the East Midlands towards a brighter future, working in partnership to connect cities, support communities and create easier journeys for everyone. EMR operates 21x Class 360 Electric Multiple Units between Corby and London St Pancras. The fleet is maintained at Bedford Cauldwell Depot; heavy maintenance, and a forthcoming fleet refurbishment, will be undertake at Siemens’ depot at Northampton Kings Heath – Therefore, the units will require movement to and from Kings Heath for these maintenance events. The Class 360s are a 4 car EMU, built by Siemens under the Desiro Classic series of trains. They are fitted with Dellner 12 couplers at a height of 925mm above Rail level. Braking is available through the electrical head via either PWM signal or 3 step braking with enhanced emergency braking. Suppliers are requested to provide EMR with a proposal for the movement of Class 360 units between Kettering Depot Sidings and Northampton Kings Heath Depot. Additionally, we require the option for collection/delivery between Northampton Kings Heath Depot and Cricklewood A-E sidings. EMR recognises that markets and businesses are changing at an ever-increasing pace. The requirements detailed in this document are, therefore, the minimum acceptable to EMR and the Supplier should consider where they are capable of development of services within their offer in order to meet EMR’s requirements.
