GLIL realises investment in Aberdeen and Rock Rail fleets
1 July 2026
GLIL Infrastructure (GLIL) has realised its investment in two fleets of passenger trains, following a successful partnership that introduced nearly 150 new trains and supported over £1.8 billion of investment into the UK rail network.
GLIL, the infrastructure investment fund created by pension funds for pension funds, partnered with Rock Rail and Aberdeen Investments in 2016 to provide equity for a new fleet of trains operating on the Greater Anglia network. In 2017, it collaborated with them again to invest in a fleet serving the South Western Railway network.
Alongside providing capital to finance the fleets, GLIL has supported their delivery over the last decade through its active asset management approach, helping bring 148 new trains – comprising 1,110 vehicles – into service and enhancing the passenger experience for rail users across the South of England. GLIL is selling its equity stake to the remaining partners, realising strong returns for GLIL and its pension fund members.
Daniel Hobson, Head of Origination and Execution, Infrastructure at LPPI, said: “This partnership has shown the power of collaboration and the value of taking a long-term, hands-on approach to infrastructure investment. Throughout the life of the project, we worked closely with our fellow shareholders to navigate significant challenges, applying our operational expertise and governance to support delivery and create value. As we realise this investment, it's rewarding to see what can be achieved when patient pension fund capital is combined with active ownership. We believe this approach will continue to play an important role in delivering the infrastructure the UK needs while generating strong long-term returns for our members.”
GLIL was launched with two founding members and £500m of capital commitments in 2015. Since then, it has grown to £4.1bn in committed capital as at 31st December 2025, investing on behalf of pension funds and pools with a UK-wide portfolio of assets spanning renewable energy, utilities, ports, logistics, trains, hospitals and schools.
LPPI is GLIL’s Alternative Investment Fund Manager and continues to invest in the fund’s origination, execution and value creation capabilities as it seeks to further expand its member base.
