Description

The derailment was caused by a void in the ground approximately 150m from the mainline, leaving a section of unsupported track. When the train, passed over this section of unsupported track at 56mph the front three carriages of the train became derailed. The train struck a dry-stone wall running parallel to the track following the derailment. It remained upright and came to a stand with the rear of the train around 31m beyond the void.

The objective of this tender is to engage with suppliers who possess the necessary skills, capacity, and technical expertise to complete a one-off repair for 195104 and return the unit back in a condition fit to return into passenger service. The focus of this tender is to establish a baseline cost and agreed methods of working to ensure a safe, efficient, and high-quality repair.
