Our Regional fleet is made up of 170s and 158s.
Class 170s
The Class 170 “Turbostars” offer EMR Regional customers a more modern and reliable unit with free WiFi. They are also the first trains on the EMR network to use the permanent, East Midlands Railway livery.
With a different design to the Class 15x fleet that they replace, the Class 170 trains offer wider doors, closer to the middle of the carriage making it easier to enter and exit for passengers and offer a more accessible layout while also providing a choice of table seats.
The Class 170's are also due to be significantly refurbished, to include various upgrades including the introduction of power sockets, improved CCTV, enhanced information systems and better toilet interiors.
Class 158s
The 158 is diesel multiple train.
