Arrow Rail Solutions

Arrow has been supplying the rail industry for over 45 years, providing specialist MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) solutions across mechanical and electrical maintenance, cleaning, and seasonal requirements.

Train and tram operating companies, network and infrastructure providers and service facilities of all types rely on Arrow products to get the job done.

Whether removing iron stains from exteriors, clearing a station platform of hazardous ice, or cleaning heavily soiled bogies for inspection – we have the solution.

Our trained staff work closely with customers to identify best practice and the maximum opportunity for cost savings, from simply adjusting a cleaning schedule to the installation of a new wash plant.

Exterior Cleaning

Clean, gleaming carriages make a markedly different impression on the rail user than those with a dirty, faded finish. The operating company’s livery is on display too, or perhaps not in the case of very dirty trains. Achieving best practice in train washing carries many challenges. For example how to deal with a wide variation of soiling and staining from brake dust residues, through to heavy greases and oils to simple water marks or how to identify the best washing technique and equipment for the job.

Interior Cleaning

No passenger wants to spend either their morning commute or a long distance journey surrounded by graffiti, chewing gum residues and nasty odours. Onboard preparation of food that is then consumed in all corners of the train only adds to the problem, meaning effective cleaning and sanitising throughout is a critical task. The implementation of a well-planned cleaning schedule using products with maximum efficiency is the answer to meeting passenger expectations while fully controlling cost.

Winter Solutions

Few factors affecting rail operations are as unpredictable as the weather, and few have as much potential to cause delays and incur costs. Winter conditions in particular yield many challenges, not just the need to keep trains and track clear of ice and snow but also keeping passengers and staff safe on icy surfaces. Other times of the year pose different problems yet train services are expected to run uninterrupted throughout. Talk to Arrow to discover how our capability for innovation can solve the problems the weather throws at your network.
