Hull Trains is one of the three ‘open access’ rail operators in the UK, and the only one currently operating, meaning that instead of owning a franchise and operating a level of service laid down by the Strategic Rail Authority, it applied for, and was awarded in 2002, access rights for 10 years by the Office of the Rail Regulator. It has also been voted for the National Rail ‘Rail Company of the Year’ award. Franchising (from the French for honesty or freedom[1]) is a method of doing business wherein a franchisor licenses proven methods of doing business to a franchisee in exchange for a recurring payment, fees and a percentage of sales or profits. ...

Rolling stock
Hull Trains currently operate a fleet of British Rail Class 222 Pioneer diesel-electric multiple units (similar to the Meridian units of the same class used by Midland Mainline), 125 mph trains, which have cut the journey time between Hull and London to an average of 2 hours 40 minutes. Previously the service was operated by a fleet of 100mph Class 170 Turbostar sets. The British Rail Class 222 is a diesel-electric multiple unit high-speed train. ...

Following an incident at Crofton Works, in which 222103 fell from lifting jacks, which saw two of 222103's vehicles badly damaged, Hull Trains made many plans to replace it. A first, early, plan was to have a Class 442 Wessex Electric being towed by an EWS Class 67. This was later abandoned. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...
The next plan was to have an HST on the service. They did obtain the use of two Class 43 power cars and a rake of five Mark 3 coaches, which were to be refurbished and put into service until such time as the damaged Class 222 was either repaired or replaced. The power cars were due to be refurbished at Brush Traction, with an in-service date of mid 2007. This plan was also later dropped as somehow the set was allocated to CrossCountry. The HST set belonged to Porterbrook Leasing, and it has been said that Porterbrook will now have to answer some tough, and maybe embarrassing, questions, as to how the set was offered to two companies at once. For the other locomotive given TOPS Class 43, see British Rail Class 43 (Warship Class). ...

In September 2007, it was announced that Hull Trains had obtained replacement rolling stock for the missing Class 222 in the short term, through the leasing of a Class 86 electric locomotive and a rake of Mark 3 coaches. The Class 86 locomotive, on hire from the AC Locomotive Group, will work the train between London and Doncaster, where the passengers will detrain on to a class 222. This is due to the fact that the branch to Hull is not electrified. This train will be limited to 110mph.[2] It was unclear whether Hull Trains will be able to obtain 125mph capable rolling stock in the near future, as virtually all of the available units capable of that speed are already in service with other operators. The only units that were due to be available were the Class 180 Adelante DMUs currently in service with First Great Western. In November, it was confirmed that Hull Trains would take a Class 180 once the fleet has been returned to Angel Trains and operate it until its Class 222 is repaired.[3] September 2007 is the ninth month of that year. ...
