DB Cargo UK - Royal Mail – November 2017 12 Maintenance Programme – Crewe (IEMD)

 All 15 of the current Class 325 fleet are maintained at Crewe International Electric Maintenance Depot (Crewe IEMD).

 One Class 325 from the original 16 was used for spare parts and then scrapped, leaving just 15 in service now.

 In 2014 the Crewe IEMD project team increased the trains capacity. This was done by reducing the number of used doors and freeing up space that could be used for mail. This improvement increased the carrying capacity by around 30% per train.

 For every 90,000 miles a unit travels, there is one failure/issue that would cause a 3 minute delay. With each units mileage at an average of 95,000 per year, this equated to one of these incidents per year. Since July 2016 the fleet in total has travelled 1.87million miles.
