UK: DB ESG to Supply Upgrades for Northern’s Class 333 EMUs

Northern Trains has contracted DB ESG to supply and install passenger information system (PIS) and energy metering (EM) upgrades on its fleet of 16 Class 333 electric multiple units (EMU).

The installation will take place at Northern Trains’ Skipton Sidings Facility. DB ESG has structured the process to enable the completion of each unit within three days.

Nick Goodhand, Managing Director of DB ESG said:

Our team is thrilled to partner with Northern Trains on this significant project. We are committed to delivering high-quality installations efficiently and safely, leveraging our expertise to enhance the passenger experience and operational efficiency of Northern Trains' Class 333 fleet.

DB ESG will be responsible for procuring and supplying 15 ready-to-install train equipment kits, while Northern Trains will provide the kit for the first-in-class installation.

The work is scheduled to begin in February 2025 and is expected to be completed by the end of June 2025. The installation will be carried out by DB ESG’s Project Services Team, supported by contract personnel where required.
