Northern launched its new CAF diesel trains today (June 26), and will launch its electrics on June 28, ahead of the planned introduction of nine trains from July 1. At Preston on June 26, the operator used a Class 195 diesel multiple unit (DMU) to launch its £500 million investment in brand new trains. A four-car Class 331/1 electric multiple unit (EMU) will be used to launch the trains at Doncaster. From July 1, there were due to be seven DMUs and two EMUs in passenger traffic.
