These trains only have Standard Class / 2nd class seating, but as they are new, they are equipped with what are now standard on-board features such as power sockets, info screens and access to Wi-fi.
They are part of a the 'Civity' type of trains constructed by CAF in Spain, and most of these 'Civity' trains are used on shorter-distance local and regional routes.
The trains have either two or three cars, but they are designed so that multiple trains can be combined to provide additional seats on popular departures
Routes:
These trains are now operating on these routes:
- Birmingham New Street ↔ Wolverhampton - Telford - Shrewsbury
- Birmingham New Street ↔ Worcester Foregate Street - Great Malvern - Ledbury - Hereford
Reservations:
As they are only typically used on regional routes with journey times which don't exceed 90 mins, seat reservations are not available on these trains.
