Kyosho UMW713 Carbon Composite Front Hub Carrier Set – Metro Hobbies

The second operator of the Class 802 was TransPennine Express, their 8022 5-car units referred to as 'Nova 1's as part of TransPennine's unique branding of the Class 802s built by Hitachi and given also to Great Western Railway and Hull Trains. The reason given behind the moniker, ‘Nova’, was that it evoked the “positive changes and explosion of energy that will truly transform rail travel for customers and so, they are known as our Nova fleet.” TPE ordered nineteen five car sets of the Class 802 bi-mode multiple units in March 2016, and they were procured through the leasing company Angel Trains. Hitachi’s plant in Japan started working on Nos. 802201 and 802202 in early 2018, with the first bodyshell arriving in the UK in June 2018. The rest of TPE’s fleet were built at Hitachi’s Newton Aycliffe factory
