| Grand Central held a small ceremony at Kings Cross today to celebrate the signing of a new lease for 5 Adelante 125mph DMUs with Angel Trains. The keys to the new units were handed over to GC Chairman Giles Fearnley by Kevin Tribley, Commercial Director of Angel Trains.
The Class 180s being leased by Grand Central are 180101, 180105, 180107, 180112 and 180114. Two of the units are already with GC, with the fifth and final train expected to be handed over on 1st January 2010. This will allow crew training, reliability and refurbishment work to be carried out on the vehicles before the new ‘West Riding’ service begins. GC services from Bradford to Kings Cross via Halifax are expected to begin by May 2010, although the service may be phased in before that date. |
