Azumas Now Have A Virtuous Sister
As I arrived in Kings Cross tonight from Leeds, one of Hull Trains’s new Paragons was in the next platform to the LNER Azuma, that I arrived in.
The Azuma is a Class 800 train and the Paragon is a Class 802 train.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a strong commercial battle, between the two train companies on the route between London and Hull
- Both companies are running new, modern trains.
- At present LNER run just one train per day to and from Hull, with Hull trains running around half-a-dozen trains per day.
- Hull Trains are the only company that runs on Sunday to Hull.
- It should be noted that the Hitachi trains seem to be fairly agile and I wouldn’t be surprised that they could reach Scarborough via Beverley, Driffield and Bridlington.
I don’t think passengers to and from East Yorkshire will be losing out!
