  30. What do you need? • Valid Ultrasonic Axle Test Certificate • Valid Transit Move Certificate • Air Receiver Insurance Certificates • A TOC to do the move • A Network Rail path and schedule • Enough time and money to get all these in place

  31. Ultrasonic Axle Test • Must be carried out by a recognised Rail Industry Inspection Company • Normally valid for 3 years • Ideal opportunity to check grease condition in bearings • Need to ensure axle end caps refitted correctly and axlebox cover joints in good condition

  32. Loco Inspection • Fitness To Run examination required including; • General examination for loose, missing, damaged, detached parts • Security of roof hatches and any other access doors and hatches • Condition of axle and traction motor suspension bearings (and history) • Brake Operation and Leakage Test • Air Leakage Test

  33. Loco Inspection (more) • Tyre profiles and condition of treads need to be within Group Standard limits • Drawgear condition • Air hoses in date • External signage • Anything else affecting the safe movement of the loco

  34. Loco Inspection (even more) • No unauthorised modifications should have been carried out affecting the function and compatibility. • Working to a Vehicle Maintenance Instruction gives a better level of confidence in movements and inspections. • Maintenance history available for scrutiny

  35. Certification • Route clearance required for the specified route (weight, gauging etc) • Loco details need to be set up in the Rolling Stock Library with ownership details • Engineering Acceptance certificate needs to be issued in plenty time to make the loco ‘live’ or it won’t be going anywhere

  36. Risks • Loco develops a defect and is abandoned in the middle of nowhere • Loco picks up a major defect in the course of the move • TOC at risk of picking up delays and associated costs • Exposure to many factors out of our control
