Locomotive Services Limited

LNWR Heritage Ltd

In 2013, RSLGT acquired LNWR Heritage Ltd, a company specialising in the overhaul and restoration of steam locomotives, from Pete Waterman. Subsequently merged into LSL in 2015, RSLGT came to an agreement with Network Rail to lease the former Crewe TMD close to LNWR Heritage's former base, which resultantly became LSL's main base. Having previously had locomotive overhauls undertaken by various companies across the UK, investment in Crewe TMD allows LSL to fully restore and maintain RSLGT's locomotive and coaching stock.

Locomotive Diesels Ltd

Already formed under LSL to handle operations and maintenance of RSLGT's stock of Class 47 locomotives, which were purchased to assist and move both steam locomotives and coaching stock around the UK network, the division took more prominence after Hosking agreed to acquired two Class 55 Deltic locomotives D9016 and 55022 in November 2017.^[8] In January 2018, LSL announced that they had taken out a three-year loan agreement on a Class 40 locomotive D213 Andania to operate on the mainline in the later half of 2018.^[9]

Locomotive Storage Ltd

After acquiring the former Hornby factory in Margate, Kent, the Trust formed Locomotive Storage Ltd, to enable safe and weather-secure storage of locomotives awaiting overhaul, away from the busy main site at Crewe. After refurbishment and the installation of seven tracks (the site is only accessible by road), the first locomotive arrived on a low-loader on 1 June 2018, former LNER Class A4 4464 Bittern.^[10]

Train Operating Company

In August 2017, the associated company Locomotive Services (TOC) Ltd obtained the required certifications, license and agreements to become a UK Train Operating Company (TOC) enabling the company to operate trains on the mainline network.^[11]The first tour was operated from Crewe to Kingaussie in March 2018.^[3] It subsequently created the associated company Saphos Trains which runs tours and excursions, starting and ending mainly at present from Crewe railway station. Two Class 90s and an InterCity 125 set were purchased from Porterbrook and will join LSL once no longer required by Abellio Greater Anglia and First Great Western.^[5]

Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust

The Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust owns several locomotives that are now available to be operated by LSL.
