Rolling Stock Review 2026

Rolling Stock Review 2026 remains the essential reference to the UK railway’s locomotive, multiple-unit and coaching stock fleet. The pace of change across the network continues to accelerate, with new trains entering service, established fleets extensively rebuilt or redeployed, and significant shifts in operator use and presentation. This edition captures the latest position across the main line, reflecting current allocations, formations and operational status. As with previous volumes, the Review covers all locomotives and trains in frontline use, alongside preserved rolling stock authorised for operation on Network Rail infrastructure, providing an up-to-date, authoritative snapshot of the UK rolling stock scene in 2026.
