The first TRU electric trains have successfully completed test runs in North Yorkshire

19 September 2024 (UK)

The first electric trains have successfully completed test runs on the newly electrified railway section between York and Church Fenton, as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU).

This milestone comes after the completion of upgrade work between Church Fenton and Colton Junction—where trains from Leeds connect to the East Coast Main Line toward York—in July, when the newly installed overhead line equipment was energized for the first time.

This section of railway is among the busiest in the north, with more than 100 trains passing through each day.
