Grand Central Train Fleet | Current, Past & Future Rolling Stock [UPDATED]

Grand Central Train Fleet/Rolling Stock. Grand Central (GC) is an open access train operating company in Great Britain operated by Arriva with services on the East Coast Main Line. Grand Central 2 routes the West Riding and North East services. West Riding is 4 daily return journeys from London Kings Cross to Bradford Interchange calling at Peterborough (limited), Doncaster, Pontefract Monkhill (limited), Wakefield Kirkgate, Mirfield, Brighouse, Halifax and Low Moor. North East is 5 daily return journeys from London Kings Cross to Sunderland calling at Peterborough (limited), York, Thirsk, Northallerton, Eaglescliffe and Hartlepool. This video shows the current train fleet (May 2024) along with the future rolling stock and past rolling stock for this operator. Grand Central currently operate 10 class 180 Adelante (Zephyr) diesel trains in 5 as 5 carriage units. These trains have 2+2 seating in standard and 2+1 seating in first class. The class 180 operate on all North East and some West Riding services. These units were refurbished around 2018 to all have the same Grand Central style of interior. GC also operate 2 class 221 Super Voyager trains which are also 5 carriages and have 2+2 standard and 2+1 first class seating. The 221 moved across from Avanti West Coast to temporarily cover for class 180 unreliability/maintenance issues are are planned to remain with GC for around 1 year but could be extended. During 2023/2024 GC operated an additional 2 class 180 from East Midlands Railway (preivously Hull Trians) to cover for class 180 reliability issues. These units were unrefurbished and were only temporary with GC until early 2024. Until 2017 when GC got 5 class 180 from GWR the North East services were operated by 2+6 High Speed Train (HST) Intercity 125 trains formed of class 43 Locomotives and Mark 3 carriages, these were replaced with the additional class 180 from GWR doubling the GC class 180 numbers from 5 to 10. In 2020 Grand Central planned to introduce a West Coast Main Line service from London Euston to Blackpool North calling at Milton Keynes Central, Nuneaton, Preston, Kirkham & Wesham and Poluton-le-Fylde. This service was cancelled in late 2020. This service was planned to operate with class 90 locomotives hauling 6 Mark 4 ex LNER carriages with a Driving Van Trailer. The rolling stock for this service was refurbished by Grand Central but never entered passenger service. The MK4 carriages have now moved to Transport for Wales. There are currently no confirmed plans for Grand Central to replace the class 180 with a different class of train or for additional units to join the operator. The train fleet information is correct as possible as of May 2024 and future train fleet dates are based for the planned introduction for passenger services. Past Train Fleet is based on when the current Grand Central operator has been in operation. #GrandCentral #Adelante #Voyager
