Can you tell me more?
The introduction of the new Class 810 fleet to the East Midlands Railway network was designed to provide a smooth transition from the Class 222 fleet, with a significant period where both fleets would operate alongside one another under the maintenance of Hitachi Rail.
However, a three-year delay in the first Class 810 trains coming into service, combined with ongoing service reliability issues across both fleets, have significantly impacted East Midlands Railway’s ability to run a reliable Intercity service.
Introducing a temporary timetable will allow them to provide a more dependable service whilst they continue to work with Hitachi Rail to make the improvements needed as quickly as possible.
