A fleet of twenty-nine six-carriage Shinkansen-derived high-speed ‘A-trains’ are being delivered from Hitachi for this route. This is Hitachi’s first train sale in Britain. They are known as Class 395. The colour scheme for the high-speed trains is dark blue - using the same corporate colour as their logo. They are marketed as Southeastern Highspeed. The first train will be named after Dame Kelly Holmes, a British gold-medal athlete, with further trains to be named after British personalities associated with speed.

Britain's first high-speed domestic service and it will transform the quality of service. This is a really significant milestone for railways in this country. We have seen the future and it works.'
