Hitachi Trains Under Fire | Leicester News

Strikes loom as the RMT Union demands safety shutdowns for the Hitachi Rail 810 fleet amid fresh faults and the shadow of a deadly June crash that killed a driver and injured 150. While EMR insists trains met all safety standards and are working to fix reliability issues, the union won’t budge—calling for three Saturdays of action until the trains are proven safe. The Bedford crash investigation continues, pointing to a warning system failure as a key factor, leaving tensions high and public trust hanging in the balance.
