History

In 1993, Pete Waterman formed LNWR to provide maintenance for locomotives and rolling stock for specialist and charter operators from premises in Crewe. In 1999, it began maintaining rolling stock for train operating companies.^[2] In 2004 a facility in Leeds was opened to service Freightliner Class 66s, this was later sold to Freightliner.^[3]

In November 2008, LNWR was sold to Arriva UK Trains.^[4]^[5]^[6] Following a restructure, DB Schenker's facilities in Bristol, Cambridge, Eastleigh and Newcastle also became part of LNWR.^[7]^[8]

Today as well as servicing trains for Arriva UK Trains subsidiaries, it services rolling stock for Bombardier Transportation (CrossCountry and Virgin Trains Class 220/221 Voyagers), Freightliner (Class 86s and 90s) and Siemens (London Midland Class 350s).
