First unveils budget train fleet

Exciting news from First Group's Sir Moir Lockhead.

The DfT's favourite operator is determined to show how, in the Age of Austerity, it is possible to get more train fleet for your pennies.

Here Sir Moir receives the first of his new Value for Money trains from Man with Beard.

First strenuously denied that the challenging dimension of the new vehicles would cause overcrowding problems.

University of Aberdeen computer modelling has shown the new fleet will comfortably meet demand for rail travel after January's fare increases.
