Prototype Information
CLASS 800 MULTIPLE UNITS
The Class 800 is a type of bi-modal multiple unit used in the United Kingdom, based on the Hitachi A-train design. The first units entered service with GWR on the Great Western Main Line (GWML) in October 2017, and entered service with LNER on the East Coast Main Line (ECML) in May 2019.
These trains were assembled at the Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility, alongside the related Class 801 & 802 units, from bodyshells shipped from the Kasado plant in Japan.
The Class 800 is part of the UK Government's "Intercity Express Programme" which intends to partially replace Intercity 125 and Intercity 225 train sets in mainline usage. The Class 800s, being bi-modal, have more operational flexibility as they are capable of working on lines which have not been electrified.
CLASS 802 MULTIPLE UNITS
The British Rail Class 802 is a type of high-speed bi-mode multiple-unit passenger train designed and produced by the Japanese manufacturer Hitachi Rail. The type has been operated by Great Western Railway, TransPennine Express, and Hull Trains, and each of the train operating companies has given the units their own unique brand: Great Western Railway's units are branded Intercity Express Trains (IETs), TransPennine Express units are branded Nova 1s and Hull Trains' units are branded Paragons.
CLASS 803 MULTIPLE UNITS
The British Rail Class 803 AT300 is a type of electric multiple unit built by Japanese rolling stock manufacturer Hitachi Rail for open-access operator Lumo. Based on the Hitachi A-train design, a total of five units, each comprising five cars, have been produced. The class is used to operate passenger services on the East Coast Main Line between London King's Cross and Glasgow Queen Street.
CLASS 805 MULTIPLE UNITS
The British Rail Class 805 Evero is a type of bi-mode multiple unit built by Hitachi Rail for Avanti West Coast. Based on the Hitachi A-train design, 13 five-car units were built to replace Class 221s on services between London Euston, Birmingham New Street, Chester and stations on the North Wales Coast lines. Their introduction allowed the elimination of long-distance diesel working on electrified routes.
