Rail Vehicle Commissioning Services at East Lancashire Railway
25 Years of Experience in Practical, Proven Rail Testing
With over 25 years of hands-on industry experience, ELR MotionWorks offers a trusted environment for commissioning and testing rail vehicles ahead of entry into service. Our experienced team has supported a wide range of projects – from fleet upgrades and new builds to heritage refurbishments and even specialist systems such as flange lubricators.
Our operational heritage railway provides access to diverse track layouts, gradients, and signalling conditions – ideal for both static and dynamic testing. This flexibility ensures your vehicle can be properly validated in conditions that closely reflect real-world operation.
Whether you’re commissioning new rolling stock, validating system upgrades, or preparing vehicles post-overhaul, ELR MotionWorks delivers the infrastructure and expertise you need. We work closely with Train Operating Companies, rolling stock owners, and private clients to ensure safe, efficient, and controlled testing.
