3ECO Ltd. is supporting Hitachi Rail STS and Stadler in getting new rolling stock trains commissioned for use on the Glasgow Subway.

In the early hours of the 5th December 2021 a brand new train unit manufactured by Stadler entered the Glasgow subway tunnel for the first time and reached Govan station on the outer circle. Stadler is in partnership with Hitachi Rail STS on the Glasgow Subway Project.

3ECO Ltd., as a subcontractor to Hitachi Rail STS, supported the Operational Safety element by providing the Operational Safety Procedure (OSP) as well as its operational personnel from the Traffic Control Office (TCO) for this event.

This was a great achievement by the Hitachi Rail-Stadler consortium which marks a significant step forward towards starting the dynamic tests phase of the testing and commissioning works in the tunnels.
