Alstom rail contracts in the United Kingdom

Overview

Alstom has secured significant rail contracts in the United Kingdom focused on fleet maintenance and upgrades.

One major development is a 15-year, £800 million extension to a Train Services Agreement with Greater Anglia. This contract involves the maintenance of 133 Class 720 Aventra electric multiple units at the Seven Kings Depot. The agreement, which includes collaboration with Great British Railways, aims to improve fleet availability and passenger experience while supporting approximately 100 jobs within Alstom’s UK operations.

Additionally, Alstom has been awarded an £80 million project to maintain and upgrade eight Voyager trains for CrossCountry. Starting in early 2027 at the Litchurch Lane Factory in Derby, these renovations are intended to increase weekly seat capacity by roughly 60,000 and modernize passenger amenities and safety features. Maintenance for this fleet will be managed through the Central Rivers Depot in Burton upon Trent.
