The brief

Translink is seeking qualified contractors to assist with the Asset Renewal of the ‘Enterprise’ train fleet.

This initiative, proposed by Northern Ireland Railways Company Ltd (NIR), aims to enhance the cross-border inter-city train service between Dublin Connolly in the Republic of Ireland and Belfast Grand Central in Northern Ireland.

The service, which utilises four sets of push-pull consists, has been in operation since 1997.

Now 27 years old, the fleet requires a final phase of asset renewal to ensure reliability, safety and compliance with the customer satisfaction standards set by Translink and Irish Rail.

In collaboration with Irish Rail and as part of the Enterprise Fleet Life Cycle Maintenance Programme, 28 coaches, 4 generator vans, and 8 locomotives undergo heavy maintenance and asset renewal every 4 to 6 years.

This work package will focus on the refurbishment of 4No. generator vans and 28No. coaches (4 of which are Catering Cars).
