Описание:

ScotRail and Hitachi Rail are celebrating four years of Class 385 passenger service this week, as the electric multiple units continue to deliver record reliability and shorter journey times for passengers on Scotland’s Central Belt.

In total, the British built train has carried approximately 34.3 million passengers to their destinations. The fleet of 70 trains has racked up 26,557,229 zero-emission miles, which is the equivalent of travelling from Earth to Venus, according to Hitachi.

Being 100% electric, the Class 385 is already playing a major role in decarbonizing Scotland’s railways by 2035. It has reduced CO2 emissions by 72%, a carbon saving of 41,432 tons CO2e. This is equivalent of saving the CO2 emissions from over 14,600 return flights between London and Tokyo, or the construction of over 800 homes.
