Bombardier has delivered its final Class 379 Electrostar to National Express East Anglia.
On Tuesday 9 August 2011, National Express accepted the last of the 30 Electrostar trains for operation on the Stansted Express and Cambridge Liverpool Street Routes.
Colin S.Walton, Chairman, Bombardier Transportation UK said:
“Our Derby workforce should be congratulated for the on time delivery of these superb trains. Our customer and the travelling public have a high quality, British built product that they can be proud of.
“Thanks to the National Express team for their continued support and we look forward to the continued partnership and the many challenges ahead.”
John Ratcliffe, Engineering Director, National Express added:
“We are thrilled with these new trains. On the 10 August we were able to introduce 27 of the 30 units into passenger service, 10 days before we were required to by the Department for Transport.
“This is a fantastic achievement and we would like to thank the Bombardier team for the hardwork and dedication in making this happen.”
