ROLLING stock leasing company Porterbrook has invested £3 million in the creation of an Asset Management Facility (AMF) at its Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre.
As part of the transformation of the site, which the company acquired in 2021, disused sheds have been repaired and converted to accommodate rolling stock maintenance and modification work.
Three pitted roads with lighting have been installed, capable of accommodating six-car multiple units. The AMF can be used for inspections, testing, commissioning and customer acceptance, as well as on-train and underframe work.
