TfW: 6500 More Spaces to Improve Capacity in Wales

Passengers travelling between Cheltenham and Maesteg, and between Cardiff and Ebbw Vale will see the introduction of Bombardier Class 170 DMUs. Constructed between 1998 and 2005, they feature on-board passenger displays, accessible toilets, air-conditioning, wifi and power sockets. Transport for Wales is taking on the Class 170 fleet from Greater Anglia. Greater Anglia is replacing its diesel fleet with Class 755 bi-mode trains.

Passengers on long-distance services between North Wales and Manchester will travel in refurbished ‘Mark 4’ carriages. They were built between 1989 and 1992. Accessibility has been a key aspect of the refurbishment so that TfW can meet the new PRM accessibility requirements that come into effect on 1 January 2020.

Transport for Wales is also leasing converted Class 769s from Porterbrook. However, as the ROSCO is delayed in delivering the trains, TfW will provide extra Class 153 in the meantime. The first Class 769 arrived in Wales (Cardiff) on 14 March.
