client: Railtrack
provision: Underfloor Wheel Lathe feasibility study, Selhurst Depot

In October 1998, D&P were requested by Railtrack to assess the availability, suppliers capability, cost and delivery time for an underfloor wheel lathe for their maintenance facility located at Selhurst in South London.
The facility at Selhurst was at the time being used by the Train Operating Company Connex South East. The Study reviewed four major manufacturers, and recommendations were made to Railtrack.
