OCS secures four-year contract with Alstom

OCS UK has been awarded a four-year contract by Alstom to provide comprehensive cleaning services for the Voyager fleet at the Central Rivers Train Maintenance Depot in Staffordshire. This new contract enhances OCS’s existing portfolio of services for Alstom, further solidifying its partnership with the Rolling Stock manufacturer and train services provider.

OCS has worked in partnership with Alstom since 2020, delivering the full spectrum of train cleaning 24/7, 365 days per year. Under this contract, approximately 50 colleagues have transitioned from the incumbent service provider to OCS. The scope of work includes daily cleaning as trains come out of service, periodic deep cleaning, exterior cleaning, and carpet cleaning.

As the CrossCountry fleet undergoes refurbishment, with design work already underway and physical refurbishments set to begin next year and conclude in 2027, OCS will deploy its expert and innovative cleaning methods to maintain the fleet’s cleanliness and ensure a pleasant experience for customers. The existing fleet is now over 20 years old, and OCS are working in partnership with Alstom and CrossCountry on a full review of the cleaning specification, using our experience both on other Alstom fleets as well as with other major rail industry players.

Richard Marshall, Transport Sector Managing Director at OCS UK, said: “As we embark on this new contract with Alstom, we are committed to delivering the highest standards of cleanliness and presentation for the Voyager fleet. Our team’s dedication and expertise will ensure that customers enjoy a fresh and pleasant travel experience. OCS is very proud of our partnership with Alstom, and we look forward to continuing to grow this in the years ahead.
