NORTHERN'S new trains have reached a new milestone, having travelled 10 million miles across the network.
The new trains - electric Class 331s and diesel Class 195s - were first introduced in July 2019 and have reached the milestone in just 20 months.
Tricia Williams, Northern’s Chief Operating Officer, said: “Our new trains are key to the transformation of rail travel in the north and it’s fantastic that so many customers will have experienced better journeys over so many miles.
She added:“Our commitment to modernising the railway is absolute and the £500 million investment in new trains - providing faster, more comfortable and more efficient journeys - is testament to the work carried out by Northern to deliver significant improvements.”
