Govia Thameslink Railway is expanding its fleet by leasing 30 additional Class 379 trains from Porterbrook, aiming to improve services for Great Northern and Thameslink passengers by December 2025. The new trains will increase capacity, allowing existing Class 387 trains to be repurposed for Southern and Southeastern lines. The Class 379 fleet, which started service in 2011, will be equipped with Alstom's HealthHub technology for real-time monitoring, enhancing safety. Additionally, the new timetable will benefit passengers with increased service frequency, coinciding with significant upgrades to railway infrastructure for better connectivity to London.
The acquisition of 30 Class 379 trains aims to enhance service capacity for Great Northern and Thameslink, enabling more trains and better schedules for commuters.
By utilizing data from Alstom's HealthHub, GTR can monitor the Class 379 trains in real time, addressing issues proactively and ensuring passenger safety.
