Great Western Railway (GWR) confirmed that it has ordered seven additional bi-mode Intercity Express Trains as part of a new multi-million pound deal with Hitachi Rail Europe and its finance partner Eversholt Rail Group.
The new trains will be built by Hitachi Rail Italy at its Pistoia manufacturing facility.
These trains are in addition to the 57 trains Hitachi Rail is delivering to GWR as part of the UK government’s Intercity Express Programme (IEP) from next year, and the separately financed 29 trains ordered last year that will come into passenger service in 2018.
