The British Rail Class 397 Civity[1] is a class of electric multiple unit built by Spanish rolling stock manufacturer CAF for lease to TransPennine Express by Eversholt Rail Group.[2] A total of twelve five-car units were built to operate services on TransPennine North West services between Liverpool Lime Street/Шаблон:Rws and Edinburgh Waverley/Шаблон:Rws.[3][4]
TransPennine Express has branded all of their new fleet under the general name Nova, with the Class 397 units branded as Nova 2.[2] The first unit entered service on 30 November 2019.[5]
History
The announcement of new trains was made by FirstGroup when it was confirmed that they would become the next operator of the TransPennine Express franchise from 1 April 2016.[6] In May 2016 it was announced by TransPennine Express that they had ordered 12 five-car electric multiple units from CAF to replace the fleet of ten four-car Class 350/4 Desiro units which previously operated TransPennine Express services between Liverpool, Manchester and Scotland.[3]
Testing of the first set began at the Velim railway test circuit in July 2018.[7]
An option for up to 22 extra units was available to TransPennine Express, but it was not exercised.[8]
In May 2023, 397011 received special Eurovision branding to celebrate the event taking place in Liverpool.[9]
Operation
The Nova 2 was launched officially by TPE at Liverpool Lime Street with other members of the Nova fleet.[10] The first unit entered passenger service on 30 November 2019.
