First Harrogate Trains is a proposed open access UK train operating company. They plan to run regular direct rail services between Harrogate and London.

First Harrogate Trains is a proposal from First Group and Renaissance Trains. First are behind many UK TOCs. Renaissance Trains are behind First Hull Trains (with First), Wrexham & Shropshire, Humber Coast & City Railway and Glasgow Trains.

If the application is successful the service will begin Summer 2009. [ [http://www.harrogatetrains.co.uk/ First Website] ]

Rolling stock

The preferred rolling stock used would be Class 180 or Class 222 trains [http://www.rail-reg.gov.uk/upload/pdf/s17-Hull_Harrogate_apfrm.pdf Track Application - Page 2] ] , as both are currently being used by First Hull Trains.

They will, therefore have first and standard class coaches and a buffet car.

Route

First Harrogate Trains propose to run from Harrogate to London with up to four services each way per day calling at: [http://www.rail-reg.gov.uk/upload/pdf/s17-Hull_Harrogate_apfrm.pdf Track Application - Page 2] ]
