Our Trains
Lighting up the north
Getting together has never felt better
Getting together with close ones is even more enjoyable with our state-of-the-art Nova trains travelling across our network.
There are loads more seats, bigger tables, more plug sockets, Wi-Fi, bike storage, electronic seat reservations, plus much more.
Our trains are packed with improvements and we’re really excited to welcome you onboard our transformed journeys across the north and into Scotland.
Loads more seats across our network
Settle in and switch off in one of the many more seats available onboard our super fancy trains. We’ve got more capacity available in First Class too.
Free Wi-Fi onboard
You’ll find free Wi-Fi as well as plug sockets and USB points at every pair of seats to keep you juiced up for your journey.
Why are the trains called Nova?
We wanted to give our trains a name that reflects the positive changes and explosion of energy that will truly transform rail travel for customers and so, they are known as our Nova fleet. The word represents what we are trying to achieve over the next few years, embodying fast paced energy and change as we take the North further together.
