Description

Nexus will purchase one specialist used railway maintenance vehicle, specifically a rail grinder MoserRV49 (or equivalent). This will be delivered to a suitable Nexus location by mid summer 2025 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.
