02 November 2023 – Alstom,
global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has signed an
eight-year extension to its Train Services Agreement (TSA) with
CrossCountry in the UK. The contract extension, valued at around
€950 million, further secures this long-term partnership and is
evidence of the trust placed by the customer.
Under the agreement, Alstom will continue to
maintain, overhaul, service and clean 252 vehicles of the
CrossCountry fleet (34 Class 220 Voyagers and 24 Class 221 Super
Voyagers) at their primary depot, Central Rivers. In addition,
seven Voyagers will move to CrossCountry when they are released
from service with Avanti West Coast to bolster the CrossCountry
fleet and enable service uplifts in due course.
“We are delighted to extend our Voyager
Maintenance Contract with CrossCountry for another eight years. We
have worked in close partnership since 2007, providing reliable,
well-presented, and safe trains for all CrossCountry’s customers.
We look forward to working with our colleagues at CrossCountry to
help them deliver a high-quality train service for the next eight
years,” says Nick Crossfield, Alstom Managing Director, UK &
Ireland.
“We’re delighted to continue our relationship
with Alstom as we embark on our National Rail Contract. Improving
the onboard experience is critical to ensuring our customers view
us as a long-distance operator of choice and we look forward to
working closely with Alstom in the years ahead to deliver these
improvements”, says Tom Joyner, Managing Director,
CrossCountry.
The contract places a strong focus on robust
fleet performance, with a collaboration team between Alstom, the
asset owner and CrossCountry established to identify optimisation
and improvement initiatives, as well as to ensure the quality of
the passenger environment.
The contract includes management of all planned
(preventative) and unplanned (corrective) maintenance; all required
overhaul activities; cleaning, and light maintenance services on
the vehicles; vehicle servicing; service delivery support
(including 24/7 telephone help line); vehicle cleaning (daily and
periodic); depot management; shunting; obsolescence monitoring and
management, and accident/vandalism repair.
Within the agreement, the fleet will be
installed with an Intelligent Engine Stop Start (IESS) system,
which will drive a reduction in fuel usage, emissions, and
operational costs. Additionally, the collaboration team will
continue with other fuel savings measures to build on the weight
reduction initiatives already undertaken, or underway, which will
substantially reduce the emissions produced from the fleet.
Owned by Beacon Rail, the Voyagers are running
across the CrossCountry network, from Aberdeen, Scotland, to
Penzance, England.
Alstom's Voyager and Super Voyager inter-city
trains have already served passengers across England, Scotland and
Wales for over two decades. Operating at speeds of up to 200
km/hour, they have clocked up over 414 million miles of
service.
