We are proud to have supplied our Tuscan 89 Angled to the work pits, supporting the latest upgrade at Allerton Depot.
In partnership with Northern, Network Rail has introduced a cutting-edge wheel lathe to streamline train maintenance. Named ‘Tina’ in tribute to the Proud Mary singer, this machine reshapes, balances, and repairs wheels without the need for removal, helping to keep services running smoothly.
Work began in September 2023, with Network Rail investing £6.8 million in the project. This upgrade builds on Allerton Depot’s long history of wheel lathe use, dating back to the 1950s, ensuring train wheels quite literally keep on turning.
