Train manufacturer CAF has opened a new maintenance facility at Lowry Park in Manchester. The new facility covers 5,000 m² and required an investment of £10 million. With these new facilities providing CAF with greater capacity, it will enable turnaround times to be increased, as well as drive greater fleet reliability. Maintenance will be completed more safely and efficiently, resulting in better long-term performance of the fleets of trains it looks after. As well as train construction, the factory at Newport carries out maintenance for 14 companies.
