About
Angel Trains emerged in 1994 as one of three rolling stock leasing companies (‘ROSCOs’) leading up to the privatisation of British Rail. Today, with an asset base of over 4,000 vehicles, it holds the distinction of being the UK’s largest ROSCO.
The Company's core expertise lies in procuring state-of-the-art rolling stock and leasing it to various train operating companies ('TOCs’). These leasing agreements typically last between seven and ten years. Angel Trains adopts a proactive asset management strategy to unlock the full potential of their rolling stock assets throughout their lifecycle—from initial procurement and delivery to fleet management, enhancements, and eventual disposal.
However, it is the TOCs that are responsible for the operation of the train services under agreements with the Department for Transport. As a result, its lease revenues are largely unaffected by changes in passenger numbers.
