RMS to leave Weardale base
RAIL Management Services (RMS) announced towards the end of January that plans to centralise its Locotec shunter hire and maintenance business in the Midlands will lead to it leaving premises at the Weardale Railway.
The County Durham line’s Wolsingham shed had been the base for the RMS shunter fleet. Until 2020, both the railway and RMS were owned by the same company, British American Railway Services.
