Hitachi Rail is cutting carbon at facilities used to build and maintain all-electric trains, such as the Lumo fleet. Lumo, FirstGroup’s new 100% electric, affordable rail service, traveled from London King’s Cross to Edinburgh for the first time on October 21 ahead of COP26. According to Lumo, the electric fleet is six times greener than making the same journey by plane.
