New high-speed electric trains could be in use locally by the end of the year. The three-car trains, which will replace 35-year-old stock on the Airedale and Wharfedale lines, were unveiled this week by Northern Spirit.
The new units have air conditioning, a top speed of 100mph, quick acceleration, power-operated doors and seating for 260 passengers.
