Greater Anglia is continuing a program to replace all rolling stock with new trains.
The first new train to enter passenger service this year is a British-made electric commuter train that runs from Southend Victoria to Liverpool Street. This brings the total number of new trains in the Greater Anglia Fleet to 103.
The new train currently operates on all routes of the Greater Anglia Network, except between Erie and King's Lynn, arriving later this year.
The new train is longer than the train to be replaced, and all seats have seats, power outlets, USB sockets, free high-speed Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Each train has enhanced accessibility features such as accessible toilets, wheelchair areas, passenger information systems, emergency call buttons and priority seats.
The desired seat is available to anyone, but those who can stand provide it to others in the area with invisible disabilities, pregnancy, or inability to stand, as needed. It is recommended to do.
Most of Greater Anglia's regional, intercity, and Stanceted Express services are currently operated by low-rise trains with retractable stairs that fill the gap between trains and platforms. As more and more new trains arrive, old trains are being phased out and all Greater Anglia vehicles meet current accessibility standards. Other new Greater Anglia trains operating on the Essex and West Anglia routes have two wheelchair spaces and one accessible toilet for every 5-car train, when running 10 cars. Has 4 wheelchair spaces and 2 accessible toilets.
Martin Beeble, Engineering Director of Greater Anglia, said:
"This will allow people to move safely through our network in the future."
