Angel Trains Poland Sp. z o.o. is wholly-owned by Angel Trains Group. The company has been established in 2006 to help us add value to our local clients and to accelerate Angel Trains’ growth in Poland and in Central and Eastern Europe.

 

Angel Trains is one of Europe’s leading train leasing companies. Since Angel Trains was created in 1994, we have invested over €6 billion in rolling stock, of which €1 billion in rolling stock in continental Europe. Our European asset base comprises over 5,000 vehicles.

 

Angel Trains is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, one of the world’s leading banking groups and a long-term partner of the rail industry. As part of the Group, we can offer a variety of financial services tailor-made for operators’ needs, across a diverse range of rolling stock including high-speed passenger trains, regional and commuter passenger multiple units and all kinds of freight locomotives.

 

We employ approximately 200 staff, with a variety of nationalities, professional qualifications and experience. As well as our headquarters in London, we have offices in Antwerp, Cologne, Derby, Madrid and Rome.

Our most important successes in Poland are:

 

• Lease of seven diesel-electric locomotives to Freightliner PL, the Polish subsidiary of the UK-based rail freight operator. The locomotives are type JT42CWRM, manufactured by Electro-Motive Diesel Inc. and labelled as Class 29 in Poland and as Class 66 in Western Europe. They will be capable of operation in Poland and Germany and will be well suited for haulage of heavy trains. The first four locomotives have been delivered to Freightliner in August 2007.

• Speculative purchase of ten Traxx F140 MS multi-system locomotives from Bombardier for the Poland-Germany-Austria corridor. The locomotives will be delivered by the end of this year. The first locomotive of this series is presented at this year’s TRAKO trade fair on the MTG siding track near Droszyńskiego Street.

 

Selected milestone investments in our other markets include:

• €1 billion investment in fifty-three Alstom Pendolino high-speed tilting trains.

• Two hundred and eighty diesel freight locomotives for English, Welsh & Scottish Railway, the UK’s largest rail freight operator, a capital investment of €500 million.

• Over €100 million invested in regional diesel multiple units for DSB and Arriva Tøg, both operating in the Danish market.

• Purchase from Stadler and lease to a German operator Eurobahn of 25 FLIRT EMUs.
