The company is also providing the rolling stock for the Department for Transport’s £5.7bn InterCity Express Programme (IEP) that will replace the UK’s fleet of intercity trains on the Great Western and East Coast Main Lines.

Hitachi Rail Europe CEO Jack Commandeur said: “The IEP trains that will go into passenger service on the Great Western Main Line in 2017 and on the East Coast Main Line in 2018 will transform the experience of many millions of fare paying customers.

“Maintenance and service of this brand new fleet of trains will be key to maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction."

The company has recently opened a new rail manufacturing facility in the UK along the routes of the IEP programme.
