NEW trains operated by Northern have passed a milestone.

The electric Class 331s and diesel Class 195s have together clocked-up 10 million miles.

The trains were first introduced by Northern – which runs services on the Airedale line – in July, 2019.

Tricia Williams, for the company, 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. Our commitment to modernising the railway is absolute and the £500 million investment in new trains is testament to the work carried out to deliver significant improvements.”
