Abstract

The article discusses the introduction of the Hitachi bi-mode Class 805 Evero trains for Avanti West Coast, which will replace the diesel-powered Class 221 Super Voyagers on the London to North Wales route. The Class 805 Evero trains consist of five coaches, including one First Class coach and four Standard Class coaches, with an increase in seating capacity compared to the Class 221s. The trains offer amenities such as wheelchair spaces, accessible toilets, luggage storage, and bicycle storage. They also feature extendable seat-back tables, reading lights, wireless phone charging points, and plug sockets with USB charging ports. While currently limited to a maximum speed of 110mph, plans are in place to increase their speed to 125mph. The trains have received positive feedback from passengers for their design and comfort.
