Hitachi Rail Europe has released images of the conceptual train interior for its very high speed train at the UK’s flagship rail trade show.
These images have been produced with the help of extensive user research and passenger studies, and build upon Hitachi’s expertise in delivering rolling stock for HS1 and the iconic Shinkansen trains in Japan.
The high speed offering has been designed with the growing needs of passengers now and in the medium to long term, forming part of Hitachi Rail Europe’s headline vision for the future of high speed rail travel in the UK.
Visitors to the HRE stand at Railtex explored the new very high speed virtual concept through a 3D imaging showcase and a fully immersive virtual reality walk-through.
Visitors also learnt more about Hitachi Rail Europe’s Class 800 train for the Department for Transport’s InterCity Express Programme (IEP). In addition, the stand profiled Hitachi Rail Europe’s signalling and traffic management systems as well as an update on the state-of-the-art rail vehicle manufacturing facility in Newton Aycliffe.
