Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre

Since taking over in June 2021, we have invested over £3 million to modernise and enhance the facilities which include a 3.5km test track loop, high quality office and conference spaces, rolling stock storage and a training centre. A third of this investment has been with local businesses in Warwickshire.

Long Marston offers both passenger and freight operators the space to test in a live environment, connected to the mainline and supported by an experienced workforce. The site is an invaluable asset for the railway to test and trial new traction technologies as the industry works to pursue financial sustainability, promote efficiency and meet its decarbonisation targets.
