West Coast to Holyhead , where we have historically used diesel trains . However , we recently procured a bi-mode fleet for that route , which has the capability to run in both diesel and electric mode . As a result of that , it does not use fuel when running on the electrified network , and therefore should significantly reduce emissions by an estimated two-thirds or more , making our operation even greener .
“ The second reason why this fleet is symbolically important is that we have procured ten additional electric trains that will enable us to grow the business , as we have a long-held aspiration , supported by stakeholders , to run two trains an hour
... we recognized that what was leadingedge technology 20 years ago is no longer considered so today
to Liverpool . At the moment , we only run
one train an hour to Liverpool , which in comparison to Manchester and the West Midlands that enjoy three trains an hour , is
not the same level of service . With the events that have happened on Merseyside in the last few years , namely Eurovision , which have significantly boosted the visitor economy , we want to support continued regional growth by running more train services . The first of these extra services started on 11th of November , and we are really looking forward to continuing to grow our business ,” Andy reveals .
