Mitie has been awarded a new three-year contract with South Western Railway (SWR), with the option to extend for two additional years. The contract covers a range of maintenance services including preventative maintenance, reactive and emergency repairs and project works at over 200 stations \u2013 including SWR\u2019s hub which is located at London Waterloo, the country\u2019s largest and busiest station \u2013 and ten train depots across the SWR network.<\/p>\n

Mitie\u2019s \u2018Plan Zero\u2019 consultancy team will also identify opportunities for energy and carbon reduction helping SWR to achieve its goal of being a net zero railway by 2040.<\/p>\n

Transporting 220,000 passengers each day, the SWR network provides services in South West London and Southern parts of England including Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire and Wiltshire, as well as Island Line services on the Isle of Wight.<\/p>\n
