Another exciting step towards a modern, sustainable railway for Scotland. 🚆

We’ve shortlisted five manufacturers as plans for our new suburban train fleet move to the next stage. At least 69 new electric and battery-electric trains are planned, bringing more comfortable, reliable and accessible journeys to customers across Scotland.

🌱The new fleet will also deliver significant environmental benefits, supporting the transition to a cleaner, greener and more sustainable railway by replacing existing diesel trains.

Customers can look forward to:
❄️ Modern air-conditioning
📱 Improved connectivity and real-time information
♿ Improved accessibility
🚲 Better spaces for bikes, wheelchairs and families

The new trains are planned to enter service in the early 2030s, operating on routes including East Kilbride, Fife, the Borders and Glasgow’s inner suburban network.
