Locomotive Services Limited (LSL)[1] is a train operating company in England. The company operates rail tours using heritage steam and diesel locomotives with support from associated companies and trusts.

History

In August 2017, LSL was granted an operating licence by the Office of Rail & Road allowing it to operate mainline trains in the United Kingdom.[2] Based at Crewe Diesel TMD, it is owned by Jeremy Hosking, It operated its first tour from Crewe to Kingussie in March 2018.[3]

It built up a fleet of Class 08, 37, 47s mainly acquired from Direct Rail Services.[4] In December 2017 it purchased two Class 55s.[5][6]

In August 2018, preserved Class 40 40013 joined LSL on a three-year lease, while two Class 90s and an InterCity 125 set were purchased from Porterbrook and will join LSL once no longer required by Abellio Greater Anglia and First Great Western.[7]

Related companies, brands and trusts

Hosking formed Locomotive Services Ltd under RSLGT, a company dedicated to the maintenance and operation of steam locomotives owned by the trust, and also a number of other engines owned by Hosking. The company initially operated from a main base at Southall Railway Centre and also a summer outpost at Bristol Barton Hill.

LNWR Heritage Ltd

In 2013, RSLGT acquired LNWR Heritage Ltd, a company specialising in the overhaul and restoration of steam locomotives, from Pete Waterman. Subsequently merged into LSL in 2015, RSLGT came to an agreement with Network Rail to lease the former Crewe TMD close to LNWR Heritage's former base, which resultantly became LSL's main base. Having previously had locomotive overhauls undertaken by various companies across the UK, investment in Crewe TMD allows LSL to fully restore and maintain RSLGT's locomotive and coaching stock.

Locomotive Diesels Ltd

Already formed under LSL to handle operations and maintenance of RSLGT's stock of Class 47 locomotives, which were purchased to assist and move both steam locomotives and coaching stock around the UK network, the division took more prominence after Hosking agreed to acquired two Class 55 Deltic locomotives D9016 and 55022 in November 2017.[8] In January 2018, LSL announced that they had taken out a three-year loan agreement on a Class 40 locomotive D213 Andania to operate on the mainline in the later half of 2018.[9]

Locomotive Storage Ltd

After acquiring the former Hornby factory in Margate, Kent, the Trust formed Locomotive Storage Ltd, to enable safe and weather-secure storage of locomotives awaiting overhaul, away from the busy main site at Crewe. After refurbishment and the installation of seven tracks (the site is only accessible by road), the first locomotive arrived on a low-loader on 1 June 2018, former LNER Class A4 4464 Bittern.[10]

Train operating company{{Anchor|Saphos Trains}}

In August 2017, the associated company Locomotive Services (TOC) Ltd obtained the required certifications, license and agreements to become a UK train operating company (TOC) enabling the company to operate trains on the mainline network.[11] The first tour was operated from Crewe to Kingussie in March 2018.[3] It subsequently created the associated company Saphos Trains which runs tours and excursions, starting and ending mainly at present from Crewe railway station. Two Class 90s and an InterCity 125 set were purchased from Porterbrook and will join LSL once no longer required by Abellio Greater Anglia and First Great Western.[5]
