East Midlands Railway has announced a "transformative" investment of £60 million to refurbish several fleets of trains, including services operating across Nottinghamshire. EMR says its Class 170 trains will be among those either being upgraded or replaced.
The 170 fleet operates regional services across the East Midlands including Matlock to Derby and Nottingham, Nottingham to Worksop via Mansfield and Newark Castle to Crewe via Nottingham. Will Rogers, Managing Director of East Midlands Railway, said: "The refurbishment will redefine the travel experience across every corner of our network.
"'It is also great news for the country's rail industry, with all the work being carried out by UK companies. Combined with the up-and-coming introduction of our Intercity Aurora fleet - it will mean every train we operate will either be new or refurbished.
"This kind of investment is crucial as we continue to modernise our railways, enhancing the passenger experience for millions of people and attracting more people to travel by rail." The trains being upgraded will feature new 2+2 seating, luggage racks, charging points an passenger information systems.
