Great Value Train Travel
INTRODUCING OUR PARAGON FLEET
We are delighted to announce that we have officially named our £60m Hitachi fleet which marks a new future for Hull Trains. Our five trains are named the Paragon fleet due to its stand-alone meaning and its significance to Paragon Station which has stood as a landmark in the centre of Hull since 1848. Paragon is defined by The Oxford English Dictionary as a model of excellence, which is exactly what our high-tech five trains are.
The new Paragon Fleet is a symbol that represents our pride in Hull Trains, our people and our City and will continue to represent the very best of train travel for years to come. From December 2019 onwards, customers will benefit from more seating capacity, enhanced interiors and faster speeds as part of a major £60 million investment. Hull Trains have replaced its old Class 180 fleet with new high-tech Hitachi trains, operating on both diesel and electric traction – giving customers access to the benefits of the East Coast Main Line’s electrified track, whilst continuing to enjoy a personable experience with our friendly on-board team that Hull Trains is known for.

A Smoother Ride
Our new fleet of hi-tech Hitachi trains operate on both diesel and electric power, and with an improved braking system you will notice a quieter journey and a smoother ride whether you are travelling with us for one stop or all the way.

There’s more storage space than ever with luggage racks at the end of carriages, extra floor space for under seat storage, and deeper overhead racks to safely store your belongings closer to you.
