From arrival to handback

Your end-to-end wagon overhaul partner


Once your wagon arrives at CWE, it stays with us throughout the overhaul. Inspection, diagnosis, overhaul, modification, testing and handback are all managed at our Wagon Overhaul Facility, with our wider CWE network supporting any specialist components required. One location. One seamless process. No need to move your wagon around the country.

Stage 1: Inspection and diagnosis
Defining the right overhaul

Every wagon undergoes a thorough inspection and condition assessment to confirm the work required. If something needs further investigation, our engineers have the expertise to find the cause, develop a solution and recommend the best way forward.

Stage 2: Overhaul and engineering
Delivering the overhaul

The work can cover everything from bogies, wheelsets and braking systems to buffers, structural repairs, component repair and manufacture, reverse engineering, engineering modifications and more.

Stage 3: Quality, testing and handback
Quality assured for return to service

Every wagon undergoes final inspection and testing to confirm the work has been completed to the required standards before release and handback.
