The first of Hitachi’s pre-series Class 800 trains for the Department for Transport’s Intercity Express Programme (IEP) has been unloaded at the Port of Southampton.

Subject: Open access on East Coast – why not West Coast?
   
Apart from Virgin/Stagecoach's new franchised service, the East Coast may also now have a myriad of open access operators. On the other hand, the ORR denies GNWR access to run services on the West Coast because they would have a negative impact on the revenues of Virgin Trains.
