Rock Rail Moorgate has been recognised as a GRESB Sector Leader for 2026, ranking first in its peer group for passenger rail rolling stock. The recognition reflects the asset’s strong performance against GRESB’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) assessment, which benchmarks real assets around the world.
GRESB Sector Leaders are the highest-performing organisations in their respective categories. The recognition places Moorgate among the leading rail assets assessed this year and reflects the work taking place across the asset’s lifecycle to manage performance responsibly and deliver long-term value.
Rock Rail Moorgate finances and leases a fleet of 25 six-car Class 717 trains, which operate on Great Northern services between London Moorgate and destinations in Hertfordshire. The trains replaced the former Class 313 fleet, bringing modern facilities and greater capacity to these commuter routes.
The GRESB result is a recognition of sustained work across the asset, including the management of ESG data and performance, and the collaboration between Rock Rail, its partners and the teams responsible for operating and maintaining the fleet. It also reflects Rock’s approach to responsible investment: considering environmental and social performance alongside the effective management of the asset over the long term.
For Rock, the recognition reinforces the importance of active asset stewardship and consistent measurement. GRESB’s benchmarking provides a framework for assessing performance and identifying where asset management can continue to develop.
We congratulate everyone involved in Rock Rail Moorgate on this achievement and thank our partners for their continued commitment to the fleet and the communities it serves.
