FCP's
directors and consultants include some of the UK's leading experts in
the specification and procurement of rolling stock designed for all
types of operating environment – high speed,
suburban and metro passenger services and freight.
Tony Roche, one of our Directors, led
the team responsible for the construction of the highly successful
High Speed Diesel Multiple Units (the 125s) and has had lead
responsibility for the implementation of most forms of traction and
rolling stock introduced on Britain's railways during the last forty
years. Most recently he has been involved in advising on the
specification and design of the replacement for the High Speed Train.
His expertise extends to the depot requirements associated with new
fleets and most recently he advised the Department
for Transport in respect of the high speed domestic services
soon to be introduced on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link from Kent to
London St Pancras.
FCP's
experts in this area of work continue to advise on contemporary
rolling stock requirements in relation to various franchise
bids that it has supported for clients since 2004.
