Europhoenix is a spot-hire railway locomotive company in England. As well as hiring out locomotives to other operators in the United Kingdom, it has overhauled former British Rail locomotives for operators in Bulgaria and Hungary.

History

In 2008 Europhoenix purchased 23 Class 86s from HSBC Rail.[1] Between 2009 and 2013, eight were overhauled at Long Marston by Europhoenix's engineering arm Electric Traction Services for Hungarian operator Floyd Zrt.[2][3] A further six were sold to Bulmarket, Bulgaria in May 2016 including two that had been operated in the UK by associated company Electric Traction Limited.[4][5]

Europhoenix overhauled 17 Class 87s in 2008/09 for the Bulgarian Railway Company.[6][7][8] A further four were sold to Bulmarket, Bulgaria in 2012.[5] In 2012 Europhoenix sold three Class 56s before they were sent to Hungary for use by Floyd Zrt.[5][9]

In 2013 Europhoenix purchased three Class 37s, 37800 and 37884 from DB Schenker and preserved 37906 from the Ruston 906 Group.[10][11][12] The former two were returned to service in 2015/16 after overhaul by Harry Needle Railroad Company and UK Rail Leasing and leased to the Rail Operations Group.[13][14][15]

In 2016, a further five Class 37s (37503, 37510, 37608, 37611 and 37670) were purchased from Direct Rail Services.[16][17]

Livery

Europhoenix adopted a grey, silver and red livery with a phoenix motif.[18]
