Class 180 'Adelante' Profile and Models

The fleet of Class 180 'Adelante' sets were produced for First Great Western at Alstom Washwood Heath in 2000 and 2001.They form part of the Coradia 1000 family, alongside the Class 175. After recurring technical problems with the trains, FGW handed them all back to leasing company Angel Trains in 2008/09. After a period in store, they were leased to Hull Trains and Grand Central, while the remaining five units returned to service with FGW. The latter five have since moved to Grand Central, whilst the four Hull Trains units have been transferred to East Midlands Railway.
