First Class Partnerships

Engineering Projects

FCP's Engineering consultants have extensive strategic and hands-on experience in developing and implementing some of the largest railway projects in UK railways. From electrification of the East Coast Main line between London, Yorkshire and Scotland in the 1990's to the most recent implementation of Britain's latest high speed route, the West Coast Main Line between London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow, FCP's directors have taken lead roles in securing value-for-money outcomes that deliver effective railways.

FCP's experience is not confined to any one engineering discipline ranging from traction and rolling stock to all kinds of single or multi-functional infrastructure projects, including those that straddle the safety critical wheel-rail interface. We have expertise in permanent way, structural, signalling and electrification engineering of the fixed infrastructure and in mechanical and electrical engineering relating to traction and rolling stock.

FCP also works elsewhere in the world on major engineering projects, including currently in the Republic of South Africa and Argentina, and has experience of operating environments of all kinds, both freight and passenger operations.



First Class Partnerships provides strategic, commercial, operations, engineering and infrastructure rail consultancy and advice to leading rail companies, investors in rail, governments and regulators around the globe.
