Train manufacturer Alstom said it would convert some of its UK trains to hydrogen fuel by 2040. The Breeze trains would be converted Class 321s and would be the first hydrogen trains designed to fit the UK railway system. They would also offer more space for passengers. The conversion work would be carried out by Alstom and partner Eversholt Rail. The UK government has said existing diesel trains would be phased out completely by 2022.
