British Rail Class 382

The British Rail Class 382 is a planned fleet of three- and four-car electric multiple unit trains to be built for Northern Trains.

History

In August 2023, Northern issued a tender to acquire a contract for up to 450 new trains to replace the older rolling stock in their fleet. A more detailed tender for up to 329 new trains was issued in 2024, and in January 2025, it was revealed that Northern had shortlisted five companies to build its new fleet – Alstom, CAF, Hitachi, Siemens and Stadler.
Contracts are expected to be awarded in 2026, with the first units delivered by 2030.
In September 2025, Modern Railways reported that the TOPS number 382 is reserved for the planned new EMU fleet.
