The first of a fleet of 33 Hitachi-built bi-mode trains which will replace the Class 222 Meridians is set to enter service next month on the Midland Main Line. The Class 810 units will be able to make use of the electrified sections north of Bedford, although full electrification of the Midland Main Line to Leicester, Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield has been paused once again.
