Last Hitachi Javelin at Southampton Docks

17th August 2009

The 17th August saw the final three Hitachi class 395 Javelins arrive in the UK at Southampton Docks (395027, 395028 and 395029)

Cargo specialists Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, DB Schenker and Hitachi worked together seemlessly to bring the 29 trains to the UK and to deliver them on schedule to a depot in Ashford for comissioning.
