GB Railfreight has been awarded a four-year contract by Network Rail to operate the Rail Innovatior & Development Centre (RIDC) near Melton, Leicestershire. The operator took over on April 1. It has replaced Serco, which had been running the site for many years. RIDC is used to test trains (new and modified), infrastructure and new technology away from the national network. High and low-speed testing is possible, with two separate test tracks available.
