An order worth £250 million has been placed with Hitachi Europe for 28 high-speed ‘A-trains’, based on the same technology as the Japanese Shinkansen high-speed trains. However the trains are not actual shinkansen trains but regular EMUs. A 29th train was later added to the order to boost capacity. The first four units will be delivered for testing by August 2007, with the remainder delivered between 2008 and 2009. Southeastern plan to start operating high speed services by December 2009, operating at speeds of up to 140 mph (225 km/h). The trains are to be based at new depots in Ashford and Ramsgate. The trains will be owned by HSBC Rail, who will then lease them to Southeastern.
