First Class 345 Aventra EMU Starts Testing

On 29 July 2016 the first of the Class 345 Aventra EMUs being built for Transport for London’s east-to-west Crossrail line (now known as the Elizabeth Line) in London was presented on the test track at Bombardier’s Litchurch Lane works in Derby. These trains are expected to enter service in May 2017, initially on the eastern section of the new line, between Liverpool Street and Shenfield.
