IPEX is delighted to announce that as part of our growth plans, we are expanding into Australia. We have been operating in Australia and New Zealand for nearly a decade, providing our consistent expert advice primarily across the disciplines of rolling stock strategy, procurement, and financier due diligence. We are also fortunate to have members of the IPEX team who have previously worked in Australasia, so it was an easy decision to select Australia as our first location away from the UK to establish a presence. Malcolm Wilson, Chair of the IPEX Board, affirmed “This is a super exciting chapter for IPEX. When IPEX Consulting came into being 21 years ago, we couldn’t possibly have imagined that the company would command the client and project portfolio and reach that it has now amassed. Yet, having worked on fascinating projects in 20 different countries across all six of the rail-equipped continents, this next exciting step of establishing a local presence in Australasia for our amazing team of experts represents a fantastic new chapter for us!” #Australia #NewZealand #rail #railconsulting #railindustry #publictransport #engineering #consulting

A compelling trend emerging in the ever-evolving landscape of the rail industry is the growth of open access services across across Great Britain and Europe. In the UK, open access has been around for over 15 years through long standing Grand Central Rail and Hull Trains. The recent success of Lumo, despite the demise of franchising, passenger service contracts, and Great British Railways, has led to greater interest in open access. First Rail, owner of Lumo, have recently applied to run services from London Euston to Rochdale via Manchester Victoria. They join Grand Union Trains, GO-OP Train Co-operative, Virgin Trains and Alstom (under the guise of Wrexham, Shropshire & Midlands Railway) in publicly declaring plans for new open access services. In France, the new open access operator Proxima, financed by Antin Infrastructure Partners has just been unveiled which will begin services in 2027, a project for which IPEX has been acting as Technical Advisor. The IPEX team is keenly attuned to the intricacies of open access and the shifts it brings to the rail sector. Joseph Brown's Insight discusses how and why the choice of rolling stock should be front and centre when developing an open access business case. https://lnkd.in/e_S_V5g6
Rolling stock should be central to the emerging open access rail market - IPEX Consulting
