<p>On the 23<sup>rd</sup> June, Porterbrook added the Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre to its portfolio of managed railway assets</p>
<p>The Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre is a 135 acre rail connected 
site in Warwickshire, it offers a 2 mile circular test track and 12miles
 of secure sidings. Porterbrook’s plans for the site will see a 
significant investment and upgrade in these facilities.</p>
<p>Working with the railway supply chain, including SMEs and academic 
bodies, Porterbrook will develop the Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre
 to become a leader in developing sustainable and digital technology 
focused on the needs of passengers, railfreight users, train operators 
and infrastructure owners.</p>
<p>Our existing partners, Chrysalis and the University of Birmingham, 
will remain on site and over time they will be joined by other 
businesses who share our vision that Long Marston will become Britain’s 
leading centre for railway innovation and asset management.</p>
