Common questions about Direct Rail Services

Is Direct Rail Services a licensed UK visa sponsor?
Yes. Direct Rail Services in Carlisle holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2021. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.
What visa routes can Direct Rail Services sponsor?
Direct Rail Services is licensed for Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
Where is Direct Rail Services based?
The register lists Direct Rail Services at Herdus House Ingwell Drive, Westlakes Science & Technology Park, Moor Row, Cumbria, CA24 3HU. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
How current is this information?
This page is built from the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal, alongside Companies House records for company number 03020822. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
