The Anonymous Widower

What Have The Train Leasing Companies Done For Us?

I found this page on the web site of one of the train leasing compabies; Eversholt Rail Group.

It shows how they and one of the train refurbishment companies; Wabtec, are creating a demonstrator for an upgrade of the Class 321 trains which are a mainstay of services to East Anglia.

GreaterAnglia will then run the train in service and actively canvas the opinion of the travelling public.

Isn’t this a sensible way to provide better rolling stock for train services, at a more affordable price.

Passengers won’t get new trains, but they will look and feel like them!

In some ways this story is a tribute to the legendary Mark 3 Coach, on which the Class 321 is based.

But then the bit we sit in, on a train, isn’t the sexy bit.
