An intercity express train built by Hitachi, Ltd. has made its maiden journey in Wales along the Great Western line to Swansea, the BBC reported on 25 March.
Starting later this year, the express will connect Wales to London Paddington and other English cities. Hitachi has claimed the new train has more space and better on-board technology.
The train is designed in Japan and built at Hitachi UK’s site in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, using cutting-edge Japanese bullet train technology.
