Temporary reduced timetable for East Midlands Railway

East Midlands Railway is running a temporary reduced timetable following reliability issues of their new Hitachi 810 trains and maintenance of their existing Class 222 fleet.

  MPs, including Alicia Kearns and Neil O'Brien are asking the Department of Transport to step in after it's believed some old East Midlands trains were repurposed for a new line in Scotland, despite known reliability issues with the new stock. East Midlands Railway says it's working with Hitachi to resolve the issues with its trains, which are thought to involve electrical faults like air conditioning and doors not working.

The London St Pancras train from Melton and Oakham via Corby and Kettering has been reinstated.
