The Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) is a new, purpose-built facility being developed in South Wales that has the potential to become Europe’s leading cluster for rail innovation. 

A ‘one stop shop’ for world class research, testing and showcasing of next generation rolling stock, infrastructure and cutting-edge net zero rail technologies, GCRE will provide a range of services unique across the continent. 

GCRE has been established to support four missions - to rebuild local prosperity; make transport better, develop a net Zero railway and to renew an amazing place. Located on a former open cast mine, GCRE will create high-quality green jobs and with a cutting-edge technology park located on site, provide space for new, innovation-led and export-focused businesses to be established and grow.
