Since going out to consultation Hull Trains is planning to change the current Class 222 fleet for Class 180s starting in March 2008, with the entire fleet being 180s by the end of the year.

Surely they only need a couple! Title: Re: Hull Trains to have all Class 180's Post by: Conner on March 01, 2008, 14:53:10 I beleive they will take 5 or 6, making their fleet all Adelante not taking all th Adelantes.
They currently only have 4 222's but they want to expand so 5 or 6 seem likely to be taken. Which would still leave 3 for Cotswold diagramms.
