Rail companies of all sizes came together to recognise the UK rail industry’s greatest achievements at the Rail Partnership Awards on 7 June.

Almost two years of development and construction have gone into the multiple-unit FLIRT train, which was presented for the first time on June 6.

Free long-distance trains will run on 31 routes and make 734 trips, according to Russian Railways.

The train’s voyage saw it cross the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and pass through the Panama Canal.

The announcement comes less than six months after Brightline's first service was launched between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Florida, and weeks after the service was extended to Miami.

This will see the line's capacity boosted by transforming three-car trains into five-car trains up until the end of 2019.

Combined, the deals are worth almost €100 million.
