A DERBY-based engineering company has become Britain's newest train operator, after approval was granted by the Office of Rail and Road. RVEL has been granted a Safety Certificate and Non-passenger Train Licence. It decided to apply for certification after the company was acquired by US firm Loram in 2014. The initial Safety Certificate, covering a period of five years, will allow RVEL to operate trains between its base in the Derby RTC Business Park and Old Dalby test track. RVEL hopes to run its first train within a few months. [From Richard Buckby]
