Specialist Engineering Support & Consultative Services to the UK and European Rail Industry. Train performance is primarily a consequence of the reliability of each individual part on that train. The quality, and so reliability, of those individual parts is down to how well they are maintained and overhauled. To maximise your train reliability you need to get the specifications that control those details right.
One of the key differentiators of Rubirail is our practical hands on ability together with our formal engineering qualifications, this allows us to look at a component and understand how best it should be maintained and (at the end of its life) overhauled. We can look at existing maintenance instructions and identify how improvements can be incorporated to improve reliability - often at reduced cost.
We can identify where over-maintenance is taking place and can assist in redefining maintenance strategy. We have experience of condition monitoring and how it can be used to facilitate cost-effective maintenance with increased reliability.

In 2013 we were set a challenge by Phil Buck, Virgin Trains East Coat Head of Fleet 125.
He was having a problem with his Power Cars running out of fuel and wanted a gauge fitting internal to the power cars, so that in the event of a major service disruption or infrastructure failure it would be possible for the train crew to see how much fuel was available, so that the remaining fuel supply could be proactively managed to ensure that the train could be kept warm and lit for passengers but also to ensure that sufficient diesel was conserved to allow the train to get to its terminal station.

The knowledge that RubiRail brings to the table is invaluable for a train operator like ourselves.
Working with our engine supplier, RubiRail has helped us to identify the highest impact reliability initiatives that we can undertake on our engine rafts.
We look forward to reaping the rewards over the years to come.
Irish rail has worked very closely with Rubirail over the last 3 years on a wide number of DMU diesel engine powerpack issues.
Rubirail has provided an expert, independent, highly respected and experienced technical support to our Rail engineering business and has delivered a number of significant value initiatives across life cycle cost reduction, reliability and safety improvements to our fleets.
