MTMS extends its partnership with GTR to keep the UK’s busiest railway moving

UK rail depot maintenance firm MTMS has been tasked with helping keep the UK’s busiest railway running smoothly after it signed a new three-year contract with train operators Govia Thameslink Railway.
The Midlands-based firm has maintained the equipment at depots serving GTR’s network for a number of years and the new contract has an option to extend to 2029.
MTMS looks after more than half of the UK’s depots and GTR is one of its biggest customers, with 18 depots based at locations stretching from Peterborough down to Eastbourne and including Bedford, Selhurst in South London and Bognor Regis in West Sussex.
Collectively, the depots provide stabling and servicing for GTR’s 516-strong train fleet, which serves a 1,300km network delivering 340 million passenger journeys a year.
MTMS’s contract comprises a wide range of responsibilities, including maintaining carriage wash machines and controlled emission toilets, provision of a comprehensive asset list, carrying out electrical installation condition testing on equipment and providing a planned CWM flail/brush replacement programme.
The core of the service delivery is servicing the 513 required PPM’s across the GTR estates and provide a 24/7 365-days-a-year reactive callout service.
