Eversholt Rail, in partnership with Transport Design International (TDI), will bring a new all-electric multiple-unit train to UK rail in as little as two years.

The Revolution Very Light Rail (RVLR) rolling stock will be developed in the UK at TDI thanks to a new funding deal with Eversholt Rail. Three locomotives will be built, assembly beginning in 2024, and TDI said the units would be ready for passenger use by 2026.

The developers said railway live testing agreements had not yet been struck, but the companies are said to be in discussions with train operating companies to develop testing routes.
