Investigation launched into cracks on faulty Hitachi trains
The railways watchdog has launched an investigation after cracks in Hitachi trains caused chaos for thousands of passengers and led to a wave of cancellations. Bosses at the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) will also examine whether passengers were correctly refunded after services were cancelled when the trains were pulled from two of Britain’s busiest lines. The cracks sparked massive disruption a month ago when they were discovered a month ago in the undercarriages of high-speed Hitachi trains,

Holiday plans hit as Hitachi train crisis lasts for weeks
Chaos on the railways sparked by cracks found on Hitachi trains will continue for weeks, potentially disrupting travel plans for thousands of passengers. Great Western Railway, which serves Cornwall, Devon and Wales from London, will be forced to run a reduced “core” service for several weeks while each train is tested. Services north on the LNER east coast mainline are also expected to be disrupted for a prolonged period, though not as badly as GWR. Rail bosses have agreed a recovery plan to get faulty trains inspected and back in service. Hitachi’s fleet of 800 series trains was withdrawn from service on Saturday after cracks were identified on some trains. The trains, part of the Government’s InterCity Express Programme which has endured a chequered history, run on some of Britain’s busiest lines. GWR and LNER - fast lines that carry large numbers of leisure travellers - were forced into mass cancellations. Andrew Barr, chief executive of Hitachi Rail, said: “Safety remains our number one priority, and we and our partners have worked round the clock to agree an approach that allows the return of trains to service where they have been deemed safe. “The operators will begin reintroduction of trains as they are individually approved and deemed safe.”
