Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Payment terms specified by supplier
- Dispute resolution process
Purchase Order Processed Invoices - Limited number of disputes arise for suppliers processed on this basis as amounts are preagreed prior to any commitment being made. Any actual cost variances to the agreed amount are assessed by the business approver and raised with the supplier directly. For other supplier invoices, any issues will arise on the approval of payment of the invoice by the business. Resolution is therefore handles by the ordering manager and the supplier. Where an agreement cannot be reached in both of the above cases, this is escalated through the relevant business departments and management team (including Finance) to resolve.

This is a company-submitted statutory disclosure, not a credit rating. BritDB preserves the reporting period and links the report only through the Companies House number supplied by the official service. Percentages describe payments made during that period and may change in later reports.

- Next renewal
- 26 April 2026
- Headquarters address
- 2ND FLOOR ST ANDREW'S HOUSE, 18-20 ST ANDREW STREET, LONDON, GB-LND, EC4A 3AG, GB
LEI data provides a global legal-entity identity, not a credit or regulatory approval. BritDB links these records only through GLEIF’s Companies House registration-authority identifier and exact company number.
06 Data protection
ICO fee-payer registration
West Midlands Trains Limited
Registration ZA278277
- Registered from
- 11 September 2017
- Current end date
- 10 September 2027
This is a candidate association, not an official Companies House link. The ICO file supplies no company number. The organisation name and postcode uniquely matched this company in the current snapshot. BritDB excludes all DPO contact fields and does not publish unmatched personal entries.
07 Public procurement

The supplier link is exact, but the award remains buyer-published procurement data. BritDB requires the GB-COH identifier supplied in the Contracts Finder OCDS release and does not infer suppliers from similar names.
08 Ownership and control
People with significant control
West Midlands Holdings Limited
- Owns 75% or more of shares
- Controls 75% or more of voting rights
- Can appoint or remove directors
- Notified
- 6 April 2016
PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
09 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
10 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
11 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
