Class 801 Super Express Hitachi AT300 The Class 801 series of trains are high speed electric multiple units. They are being built by Hitachi at their dedicated plant at Newton Aycliffe. Originally the Class 801 was destined for the GWR, but delays and cutbacks in the scheme caused a government rethink and a change to bi-mode electro-diesel units classified as Class 800. As such, the remaining order for Class 801's will work the East Coast Main Line (ECML).
