Uncommon for NNG @hcrossers down main to up fast (p2) poor quality as was expecting a p3 arrival and didn’t have chance to wipe lens before hitting record (phone grab)

A little lost this evening or a 10car @huwsdavis ;) 810003+810004 seen at NNG out testing this evening @emr #Aurora #NewTrain #Testing

Nice treat today at Long Eaton 810 012 London bound #Aurora @EastMidRailway

@GarethDennis Too many

how many more WRONG diagrams will be created for the Spanish rail crash today, do we think?

810 changing from Diesel power to Electric power at Kilby Bridge jn.

@DownOnTheStour 10car running is coming , but for now more testing for them

Aurora is finally complete ✨ Impressions: seats are alright, info screens are great, legroom could be better — but definitely an improvement over the 222s, especially if ran as 10-car sets. 👍 #DOTS #trainphotography #railwayphotography #aurora #class810 #eastmidlandsrailway

🚆 A New Era Begins! At 07:00 this morning, our very first #Aurora entered passenger service - a landmark moment for East Midlands Railway, @TUKGroup_ and rail travel across the East Midlands and South Yorkshire. These new 🇬🇧 built Hitachi Rail trains bring more seats, more space, better accessibility, improved customer information, and the ability to run on electric, helping us deliver quieter, cleaner journeys and an even better experience for our customers. As more Auroras join the network throughout 2025/26, customers will feel the difference: modern interiors, stronger WiFi and mobile connectivity, thoughtfully designed seating, and a new level of comfort and reliability. The #Aurora is here ✨ news.eastmidlandsrailway.co.uk/news/aurora-fl…

@ChimeWhistle So now well the WIFI stands up with all those uploads going on

It's reportedly delayed because of overcrowding. I bet it's all the vloggers trying to be the first to upload their material of the first run. Normally, you've seen one vlog and you've seen them all! Yawntastic 😀

And here’s a well-filled 810010 leaving Chesterfield for London with the first @EastMidRailway Aurora service

@TraceyDagley #8 doing the honours today

@TraceyDagley @TomDearlove1 something about a new train smell :)

@TomDearlove1 They will have that lovely “new” smell too initially

Just been told by EMR source that there is no class 810 launch tomorrow. Lavatory is still not working!

@Volcanic_Ash24 @EastMidRailway comparing to the rest of 8xx family a feels like a step forward in use of space inside corridors feel wider (carriage ends), bike spaces much more open. Seats feel a better build. Improvements in PIS. WIFI seem supper speedy, designed to handle more devices. 10 years of evolution

@Class8xx @EastMidRailway Thoughts on them? I have to say they look amazing. The interior looks really nice and balanced.

Thank you @EastMidRailway , A sneak peek into the soon arrival of the class 810 'Aurora'. Met some of the people behind the project and some that are going to be working on the trains. A truly passionate set of people. Green signals ahead and can't wait to be in service

@huwsdavis A great day , yesturday , to see the team and the true passion that there is about getting the Auroras into service.

Proud to be part of the Aurora project team #NewDawnNewEra #Aurora

An impressive new Wi-Fi system is being trialled aboard @HitachiRailENG @GWRHelp 802101 over the next few weeks. Having tested it today it’s really good. Was able to upload web content which is usually impossible unless tethered to my phone.

@huwsdavis No better in GRA

Early misty start for a day of tests...hope I remembered my pencil

@huwsdavis @Captain_Deltic @traindrivermum

@Captain_Deltic @traindrivermum Unit 28 on this line Unit 22 DPTS and MS available for everyone to try out and experience the passenger and driving seats

810’s at Hitachi’s Open Day today 😍

Thank you for all those @HitachiRailENG and partners that made the day possible. So much to see sadly missed speak to you @huwsdavis and @DavidHorne, but the team members for Hitachi all friendly and open #Railway200

@PhilipProudfoot bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Yeah. I definitely think we should allow a government this fickle to implement digital ID that can determine our access to basic services.
