The DB Cargo Company Train (formerly the DB Schenker Company Train and the EWS Company Train) is a special train operated in the United Kingdom by freight operator DB Cargo UK (formerly DB Schenker Rail (UK) formerly English Welsh & Scottish), a division of Deutsche Bahn. It was built as an inspection saloon replacement, and is also used to entertain corporate clients. The train cost £3 million and took only nine months from concept to completion.[3]

The design concept of using a Class 67 locomotive and Mk3 DVT in push pull mode was subsequently adopted by passenger operators such as Chiltern Railways, Wrexham & Shropshire and Arriva Trains Wales for commercial operations.[10][4]

History and design

During the time that Keith Heller was CEO, Infleet Technology was commission to design the train.[5]

The train was assembled as the replacement for the company's aging inspection saloon,[6][7][8] and is used for entertaining corporate clients,[9] for staff trips, managers, customers, functions, and as a "moving office".[1] In the first year of operation the Macmillan Cancer Support charity were allowed to use the train too for fund-raising.[1][10]

The fixed configuration set consists of three British Rail Mark 3 coaches between a Mark 3 driving van trailer and Class 67 locomotive.[7] The interior of the train was converted to a business/office/corporate entertainment environment, including a 'conference coach' room with 50-inch cinema screen, and seven-metre-long conference table, a dining coach, and a sleeper coach with bedrooms and en-suite washing facilities.[7]

The trainset was fitted with a wiring system allowing the Class 67 to work in push–pull mode with the DVT and Mark 3 coaches.[6]{{#tag:ref|67029 is connected to the other vehicles using the AAR jumper, and RCH lighting control jumper cables,[11] air brake pipe, main reservoir pipe, dual electric-train-supply connectors, Cab to Train data jumper; and (except for the locomotive) a central door locking jumper.[2]{{rp|27}} If being worked by a Class 90 the 27-way AAR multiple working jumper, and Cab to Train data jumper are not connected.[2]{{rp|27}}|group="n"}} In addition to normal inter-carriage connections this includes the addition of Multiple Working Jumper cable, and Cab to Train Data cable.[2]{{rp|7,21}} The DVT retains its Time Division Multiplexer (TDM) support but this is isolated and non-operational unless the company train is operating in push-pull mode with a Class 90 locomotive.[2]{{rp|18}} Locomotive 67029 was also modified to include a remotely activatable fire-suppression system,[12] and received a slight modification to the auto-couplers to enable connecting to the existing Mk3 buckeye couplers without touching the coach's rubbing plate[2]{{rp|21}}—although it is normally attached using buffer-and-chain coupling.[2]{{rp|21}} When not in use hauling the company train 67029 is used for normal railway working.[13]

The train is explicitly exempted from regulations covering "Working of Passenger Trains Over Non-Passenger Lines", allowing the train to operate between EWS freight depots without additional documentation requirements.[14] The train does not carry passengers per-se—all those on-board are regarded as either staff or invited guests.[2]{{rp|3}}
