Rock Rail United Kingdom
Helping transform passenger rail travel
Since 2016 Rock Rail has secured investment of £3 billion across 5 new rolling stock fleets for operation on key parts of the UK rail network. The state-of-the-art fleets are all due to be in service by 2022, helping transform passenger journeys and revitalising the post privatisation rolling stock market in the UK.

Supporting greener rail travel and delivering long term, enhanced value
Rock Rail’s modern fleets are contributing to a more sustainable railway, helping reduce CO2 emissions and delivering significant energy efficiencies versus the many diesel and old trains they are set to replace.
While continuing to explore other core fleet financing opportunities in the UK, Rock is extending its focus to other areas of rail infrastructure to provide similar long term, enhanced value to passengers, the public sector and our rail industry partners.
