What is being bought
Nexus has purchased one specialist used railway maintenance vehicle, specifically a rail grinder MoserRV49 (or equivalent). This has been delivered to a suitable Nexus location in order to meet the urgent needs of rail defects on the Tyne and Wear Metro. The used rail grinder meets the specialist gauging requirements of Nexus rail infrastructure and our operational needs including but not limited to: road/rail travel capabilities, limited noise levels (for Tyne and Wear Metro lineside neighbours), dust collection capabilities, large gradient working, and low minimum curve radius working.

Procedure rationaleThe specialist features on the machine Harsco can provide are not commercially available on used machines. The timescales for design, manufacturing, testing and certification for an alternative used machine to be retrofit to Nexus requirements were not compatible with the deadline for the date the machine must be operational on site to allow the Tyne and Wear metro to address immediate rail defects and any arising rail defects that have the potential to be a safety risk if untreated.
