About Hull Trains

Hull Trains is an award-winning open access operator with up to 94 weekly direct flights from the Hull and Humber regions to the capital. In 2019 we welcomed the first Paragon fleet into passenger service. As part of a £60m investment, state-of-the-art Hitachi vehicles have brought significant improvements to travel after replacing older ones. Smoother, greener and with 20% more seats for passengers traveling to and from the metropolitan area. 2021 is the year we celebrate our 21st anniversary. Throughout our 21-year history, it is our people who continue to set us apart. From the on-board team to the driver, everyone plays their role and pays attention to every detail to ensure that every trip is a great experience. We are delighted to be able to officially name the £60m Hitachi vehicle that represents the new future of Hull Trains. Our five carriages were named the Paragon Fleet after its independent meaning and Paragon Station, which has stood as a landmark in Hull's city center since 1848. Paragon is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as an example of excellence, and that's exactly what our five high-tech trains are. The new Paragon Fleet is a symbol of our pride in Hull Trains, the people of Hull and Hull City, and will continue to represent the best of rail travel for years to come. From December 2019 onwards, customers will benefit from increased seat capacity, enhanced interiors and increased speed as part of a significant £60m investment. Hull Trains will replace its older Class 180 carriages with new high-tech Hitachi carriages, which will run on both diesel and electric. This will allow customers to benefit from electrified tracks on the East Coast Mainline while continuing to enjoy the human experience of the friendly onboard team that Hull Trains prides itself on.Hull Trains is committed to providing the best travel experience, and this includes making a positive contribution to environmental sustainability.
