GCRE has been supported with funding from Welsh and UK Governments and will be a purpose-built facility for research, testing and certification of rolling stock, infrastructure and new rail technologies. GCRE is the latest in a series of commercial partnerships for GCRE, following agreements with Hitachi, CAF and Transport for Wales.
