Hull MPs urge rail operators to complete Hull rail electrification

Hull Labour MPs Diana Johnson and Emma Hardy today wrote to First Hull Trains and Northern Trains urging them to choose battery-electric trains when they invest in their new fleets.

This follows September’s breakthrough in the long campaign for Hull rail electrification when TransPennine Express announced that they are investing £1bn in a new fleet of battery-electric trains for the 2030s - finally bringing faster, cleaner electric trains to Hull and the Humber.
