Disposal of Decommissioned Rolling Stock

⁠⁠⁠VicTrack is preparing to issue an Expression of Interst for the for the disposal and / or repurposing of decommissioned passenger rolling stock, either in partnership with VicTrack or as a standalone commercial venture.

There are over 800 current, or planned to be, decommissioned rolling stock assets owned by VicTrack which will need to be disassembled, dismantled, scrapped and/or sold over the next 10 plus years.

The planned decommissioning of the 800 plus rolling stock presents a fantastic commercial opportunity for an innovative and experienced provider to partner and work with VicTrack to develop a commercially profitable business model to disassemble and decommission what is a significant and secure pipeline of rolling stock.

Through this program VicTrack aims to provide a viable commercial opportunity that will see parts of the Newport Railway Workshop better utilised and provide jobs and opportunities to the rail and other sectors within the Newport Railway Workshops and broader Hobsons Bay community.

Accordingly, VicTrack will be seeking invitees’ responses for the disposal and / or repurposing of decommissioned rolling stock as outlined in the forthcoming Expression of Interest documents.

VicTrack anticipates that the Expression of Interest will be released on or around 6 November 2019.
