As well as rolling stock and maintenance services, Porterbrook also specialises in leasing station equipment: in particular, ticket gates, ticket vending machines and passenger information display systems. It works closely with train operators and manufacturers to precisely meet the needs of its customers.

Ticket gates are an ideal way to protect the revenue of train operating companies. In the UK, a number of these companies installed ticket gates financed by Porterbrook in high-density commuter areas. This produced immediate revenue gains. In some cases, increased ticket demand was so great that it was necessary to install new ticket vending machines, also financed by Porterbrook. Furthermore, installing such equipment led to a reduction in crime and vandalism at those stations.

Train operating companies need to provide accurate information to their passengers. This often requires upgrading station information systems or replacing them entirely. Porterbrook offers lease packages structured to take account of the potential life and serviceability of the latest information systems.
