You have the introduction of Class 805 and 807 units with Advanti West Coast possibly Summer 2024. As
@778 states you will also hopefully have the introduction of class 701 units.
As
@Rail Quest we will possibly see the Class 93.
@Adrian1980uk I am not sure the trains will get overcrowded, especially with the rise in fares that is due to happen in March.
Since the last election was in December 2019, and the ruling that elections have to be every 4 - 5 years has been taken away, we could potentially have the current Government to December 2025. But if an election was to take place, then I suspect that will be in December 2024 and not before that time.
Depending on what orders the Alstom factory in Derby has left to complete, we may hear about when it is likely to close. I do wonder whether the building of the HS2 trains will move to Newton Aycliffe if there is capacity or whether Hitachi will take over the ownership of Litchurch Lane.
Could any of the new trains that the likes of Northern are considering be ordered next year?
