Grand Central is using refurbished HSTs^▸ for
use on its Sunderland to London services
which started in December 2007, and is
seeking to introduce new-build rolling stock for
future services.
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.

"All"- are you sure?

Surely they only need a couple!

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.

Does this mean the Hull Trains 222's will go to East Midlands Trains, for this proposed Corby service?
