My First Ride In A Class 397 Train – 15th November 2023

I took these pictures during my first ride in a Class 397 train, between Wigan North Western and Liverpool Lime Street stations.

Note.

  1. Reading the plates, the total weight of the train is 188.4 tonnes.
  2. There are 268 seats.
  3. The ride wasn’t bad at all.
  4. Seats were comfortable.

Build quality was about the same as a Hitachi train.

  1. I was late to first ride on the CAF Civity UK units in general myself, but I did eventually first ride on a 195, 331 and 397 on the 22/11/22, a 196 on the 7/9/23 and a 197 on the 8/9/23. I’m looking forward to those LNER CAF units even though they’re a few years away.
