ScotRail launches next-gen suburban fleet procurement 🚆

ScotRail has issued a contract notice to acquire a fleet of new electric and battery-electric multiple units (BEMUs/EMUs), set to refresh its suburban services in Scotland by the early 2030s.

The move replaces ageing rolling stock, supports major electrification plans (in partnership with Network Rail) and sets the stage for greener, more reliable rail travel across routes including East Kilbride, Fife, the Borders and Glasgow’s inner-suburban corridors.

This is a clear signal: Scotland’s rail is not merely keeping pace, it’s accelerating toward a cleaner, more accessible future! 🌿

Network Rail, in collaboration with the Chartered Institution of Railway Operators (CIRO), has unveiled a new CIRO-endorsed weather learning programme tailored for rail professionals 🚆

Through a mix of e-learning modules and hands-on workshops, the programme covers meteorological fundamentals, forecasting, climate change and weather hazards while teaching staff to apply these insights to their local routes and operations.

Lisa Angus, Network Rail’s Industry Weather Response Director, notes that this initiative empowers rail staff to combine forecast data with domain expertise to make swift, confident decisions under challenging weather.

In an age of increasingly frequent extreme weather, embedding this kind of resilience training is a smart move for safety, for reliability, and for trust.

Open-access bid: Gemini Trains names Siemens and Rock Rail as partners for London–Europe services 🚆

The plan is to operate routes linking London with Paris, Brussels and Cologne, using Siemens Velaro trainsets (already in use by Eurostar).

Gemini is awaiting a decision from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) on its application for access to the Temple Mills depot, a critical bottleneck, as ORR has warned that, without enlargement or a new depot, only one additional operator can be accommodated.

In addition to the rail partners, Gemini says its services will be co-branded with Uber, and they plan to use Stratford International station (which currently only handles domestic services). Gemini’s CEO emphasised that the collaboration with Uber, Siemens and Rock Rail is central to their goal of offering high-quality, competitively priced train services to the UK and Europe.

From a regional perspective, the announcement is seen as a boost for manufacturing and jobs. Siemens’ Goole plant responsible for assembling the trains was cited as a growth engine, with potential to strengthen supply chains and regional skills in Yorkshire & The Humber.
