WH Davis, the UK’s sole remaining independent railway wagon manufacturer – and part of Buckland Rail – has secured a €44m export deal to supply 150 freight wagons to Ireland with support from the UK’s export credit agency.
The contract represents the first order under a ten-year framework agreement that could see the number of wagons supplied rise to 400. The wagons will support Ireland’s rail freight expansion strategy and are expected to start delivering in summer 2026, with all wagons delivered and in service by the end of 2027.
