Our Services

H&H specialises in train movements relating to rolling stock logistics such as the delivery, testing, maintenance, modification, refurbishment, and major fleet cascade or displacement programmes of rail vehicles. All moves are undertaken by H&H, with our own operating licence granted by the ORR, with full £155m PL insurances.
We have experience of moving both passenger and freight rolling stock, at all ages and stages in their asset lifespan.
No project is too big or small.

H&H has specialist expertise in the provision of storage regimes to support new build, off lease and redundant rolling stock to maintain the assets condition.
We can guide asset owners on the best storage solution relative to the asset’s residual value and redeployment timeline.
Cold storage, tepid storage and warm storage solutions can be deployed with full visibility and condition monitoring.
-
H&H can recycle 99% of end-of-life rail vehicles in compliance with environmental regulations.

Filming on the live operational railway is a major challenge for TV and Film crews, yet railways are a common feature within storylines.
H&H has provided support services to film crews looking to recreate live rail environments, and recently provided resources to an independent production company for the filming of a modern day rail scene.
We work exclusively with location film and production departments, and can supply trains (and railways) in a closed and sterile environment for maximum flexibility and control when filming rail scenes.
Based in Derby and West Yorkshire, we provide our services to ROSCOs, TOCs, FOCs, OEMs and suppliers of rail engineering activities, as well as rail plant, wagon suppliers and support services to the entire rail industry.
"When it came to moving a Stoneblower (yellow plant) from the UK to Sweden by rail, Hanson and Hall were the perfect partners. The communication and planning prior to the move was excellent which resulted in a seamless move to schedule".
