Arriva to order new Hitachi fleet for Grand Central
Arriva Group is announcing today that will lease nine new battery hybrid trains to replace its existing Grand Central fleet. The 45 Hitachi tri-mode vehicles will be owned by Angel Trains and the lease will run for 10 years.

Network Rail and British Transport Police have released the results of a new survey which suggests that almost three out of five people don’t know that electrified railways can be lethal. A campaign has been launched today, as the spring and summer holidays approach. Lighter evenings are associated with a 20 per cent increase in trespassing.

All ScotRail fares have risen by 3.8 per cent today, but opposition politicans are speaking of ‘dismayed’ passengers and a ‘spiral of decline’. The increase is lower than the 4.6 per cent rises in England and Wales a month ago, but the Scottish increase covers all fares rather than just those which are regulated.
