AW RAIL – EAST KENT RAILWAY
AW Rail Services – East Kent Railway Trust
We are delighted to have found a second use for our track trolleys, and an ideal opportunity to try out one of our bed flatbed vehicles, that have become surplus to our requirements within the company. We dread to think how many miles our operatives might have pushed these load bearing rolling platforms to their work sites whilst out on the track!
East Kent Railway (EKR) relies heavily on it’s volunteer base to keep the site running, maintained and to keep their rolling stock in safe operational order. They are always keen to here from people with experience of engineering, grounds maintenance experience but equally anyone who wants to come along and help maintain this historic line based in the heart of the Kent countryside.
We hope that these trolleys will provide their teams years more service in moving materials around the sidings and main line. If you are interested in volunteering, then do please contact them direct.

AW Rail Services have been delivering rail projects for several years right across the Rail & Construction sector.
Our extensive rail experience of over 120 years, combining decades of hands-on knowledge, providing building enhancements and maintenance solutions, improving infrastructure for passengers and operators, delivering major projects, and fulfilling long-term maintenance contracts really sets us apart.
Our services are varied from structural maintenance on tunnels, bridges, foot crossings, signal gantries, to station refurbishment, platform enhancements, civils works on and around the track, the mechanism management of lineside vegetation and further afield, painting of all types of structures and lastly but perhaps most importantly the provision of rail labour, not only supporting the projects we carry out for our projects but for the provision of labour to other clients.
