History

RMS Locotec was established in Dewsbury in April 1992 by John Hummel with some second-hand 0-4-0 and Class 08 0-6-0 shunter locomotives. Its first contract was with Blue Circle with further work won from ICI and Mobil.[1][2] In 2008, the business was purchased by British American Railway Services.[3]

After British American Railway Services was placed in administration, the business was sold in June 2020 to Proviso Holdings, a consortium that included Eastern Rail Services, with 20 Class 08 locomotives.[4][5][6]
