HT On-Board Experience Manager Patrick Tobin suggested the name for the fleet, which recognises both its significance to Hull (named after Paragon Interchange), and the words definition.

Hull Paragon station is impressive from any angle and contains lots of interesting features, not least this waiting room on one of the platforms. A Trans Pennine Clas 170 is waiting alongside for its next duty.
