TRB Manufacturing Doors for West Midlands Railway Project

TRB Lightweight Structures is working in collaboration with CAF on the production of 17 new trains for West Midlands Railway. Each four-car train is designed to operate as a stand-alone vehicle, or can be coupled with additional units to increase passenger capacity. TRB has been appointed for the design and production of new gangway doors, used to section the cab off from passengers in driving mode, or used to create additional corridor space to allow passengers to move between trains when they are coupled.
