The first Hitachi Class 395 train reached Napier on board a roll-on, roll-off ferry. Manufactured in Kasado, Japan by Hitachi, the train which arrived today is the first of four which will be delivered over the coming months. The bullet trains will be used by the Southeastern train company based in Napier, and will connect Napier to Alexander, Londinium, Southampton and Austral City. When these trains enter service, they will slash journey times across the region, encourage more people to travel by train and bring new standards of comfort and reliability.
