West Hadren Rail

West Hadren Rail (WHR) is a Train-Operating Company based in the West of Hadren, between Caleg and Rothery.

History
West Hadren Rail was incorporated in 2015, accompanying the Hadren Railway's decision to allow open access on their network, in accordance with the Single European Railway Directive 2012. Seeing the opportunity this created, a group of businessmen formed their own company with the intent to run passenger services in competition with the HR along the west coast. Running rights were granted to the new company between Caleg and Rothery, replacing the HR's services along this route. An order was immediately placed with Hanel Works for a fleet of 4 DMUs, of the same design being built for the HR. In the short term, surplus stock was obtained from Caleg Tramways, who had recently withdrawn their old diesel fleet. These were taken out of service when the new units arrived in November 2017.

Fleet
The railway currently operates a fleet of 4 DMUs built at Hanel. In addition, they previously used a fleet of 15 diesel trams acquired from Caleg Tramways. Five of these are retained as backups and for used on Permanent Way duties.
