The Hub were commissioned by Beacon Rail in May 2025 to undertake commercial due diligence on its 100% acquisition of Eversholt Rail Group (ERG), one of the UK’s three original ROSCOs. The transaction, announced on January 21st 2026, strengthens Beacon’s long-term position in the UK passenger and freight rolling stock market.

ERG owned a diverse portfolio of passenger EMUs, DMUs, bi-modes and freight locomotives, including several strategically important fleets. The addition of these assets, as well as ERG’s incumbent relationship with major operators, strengthens Beacon’s position in the UK rail market currently undergoing structural reform.

Ben Wilson, Senior Strategic Advisor commented: “We are proud to have supported Beacon with this successful acquisition of Eversholt Rail Group. The due diligence we provided builds on our expertise in rolling stock transactions and continues to strengthen our team. With Project Falcon and other ongoing projects, we remain at the forefront of rolling stock advisory and commercial due diligence, uniquely positioned to deliver exceptional support for complex transactions.”
