Uncommon for NNG @hcrossers down main to up fast (p2) poor quality as was expecting a p3 arrival and didn’t have chance to wipe lens before hitting record (phone grab)
🚆 A New Era Begins!
At 07:00 this morning, our very first #Aurora entered passenger service - a landmark moment for East Midlands Railway, @TUKGroup_ and rail travel across the East Midlands and South Yorkshire.
These new 🇬🇧 built Hitachi Rail trains bring more seats, more space, better accessibility, improved customer information, and the ability to run on electric, helping us deliver quieter, cleaner journeys and an even better experience for our customers.
As more Auroras join the network throughout 2025/26, customers will feel the difference: modern interiors, stronger WiFi and mobile connectivity, thoughtfully designed seating, and a new level of comfort and reliability.
The #Aurora is here ✨

@Volcanic_Ash24@EastMidRailway comparing to the rest of 8xx family a feels like a step forward in use of space inside corridors feel wider (carriage ends), bike spaces much more open. Seats feel a better build. Improvements in PIS. WIFI seem supper speedy, designed to handle more devices. 10 years of evolution
Thank you @EastMidRailway , A sneak peek into the soon arrival of the class 810 'Aurora'. Met some of the people behind the project and some that are going to be working on the trains. A truly passionate set of people. Green signals ahead and can't wait to be in service
An impressive new Wi-Fi system is being trialled aboard @HitachiRailENG@GWRHelp 802101 over the next few weeks. Having tested it today it’s really good. Was able to upload web content which is usually impossible unless tethered to my phone.
Thank you for all those @HitachiRailENG and partners that made the day possible. So much to see sadly missed speak to you @huwsdavis and @DavidHorne, but the team members for Hitachi all friendly and open #Railway200
