Description:This Avanti West Coast Class 805 Evero multiple unit is pictured at Stafford Railway Station.
The 805 Evero is a type of bi-mode multiple unit built by Hitachi Rail for Avanti West Coast. Based on the Hitachi A-train design, 13 five-car units were built to replace Class 221s on services between London Euston, Birmingham New Street and stations on the North Wales Coast lines. Their introduction allowed for the elimination of long-distance diesel working on electrified routes. These trains are maintained by a joint team of Alstom and Hitachi staff, alongside Class 807s, at Oxley depot near Wolverhampton.
