New train operator set to run train services from Gedling borough

A new operator has been announced and will replace East Midlands Trains, who currently run trains and services in Gedling Borough.

East Midlands Railway will take over in August and have promised more seats, services and state-of-the-art trains.

Abellio, the company running East Midlands Railway, will oversee the introduction of brand-new trains, entirely replacing the existing intercity fleet with more reliable and comfortable trains.

Abellio, which already runs franchises in areas including East Anglia and Scotland, has also promised a £16.8 million fund to improve stations,  Wi-Fi on all services and improved compensation for delayed services.
