Macquarie European Rail (formerly Lloyds TSB General Leasing) is a Rolling Stock Company (ROSCO) formed in 2009 as part of the Lloyds Banking Group. Prior to its formation, Lloyds already had a stake in the UK rolling stock leasing market through its membership of the consortium that purchased Porterbrook in 2008.[1] The company's first major train order was a £160 million purchase of up to 30 new four-car Electrostar EMUs for use by National Express East Anglia on its Stansted Express and West Anglia routes.[2] Lloyds TSB has also financed the 30 Class 70 locomotives entering service with Freightliner.[3]

In November 2012, Lloyds Banking Group sold the company to Macquarie Group. [4]
