Our trains

We know it's important to know what you can expect when you're taking a journey with us - particularly if you need an extra hand. So whether you need to know if you can bring your bike, or if there's toilets on board that you can use, you can find it below.

We currently operate 8 different types of train on our network, transporting more than 220,000 people a day. In addition, we're introducing a new fleet of trains to make your journeys faster, more connected, and more comfortable.
