Who we are

Hull Trains is an open-access operator running seven daily services to London from the Hull and the Humber region. Now in our 23rd year of operation, we are an institution in the city of Hull and have a commitment to both our customers and the local community.

Throughout our history, our people are what continues to set us apart from our competition. Local people, working for a local company, providing first-class services to the local community.

Our colleagues love working for Hull Trains, and this is evidenced through our high retention levels and our policy of promoting from within. We have countless examples of people who have progressed through our ranks and now hold senior positions within the business.

 

We are also dedicated to equality and diversity, and in 2023 were named as the Top Employer of the Year at the Women in Rail Awards.

Hull Trains is the only rail operator in Great Britain where journey levels are now exceeding pre-pandemic levels. We now provide more passenger services on larger trains than ever before and are transporting record numbers of passengers on board. Our Paragon fleet is also one the most modern and environmentally friendly on the UK’s rail network.

We are a company that is on the up! A proud local employer with a team of on-board colleagues who are not only committed to delivering excellent customer service but also dedicated to the city of Hull and its surrounding communities.

'Name That Train' Competition

In October 2022, relatives of fundraising legend ‘The Bee Lady’ were among the guests at Hull Paragon Station to see one of the first public outings of a train named in her honour.

Jean Bishop was known as The Bee Lady, an adored Hull local who spent 30 years fundraising in her hometown raising more than £125,000 for Age UK Hull dressed as a bumblebee.

A little over one year after her sad passing, her daughter Jennifer Baldwin and husband Ken Baldwin stood side-by-side with members of the charity to watch as the 802302 Hitachi Paragon train was officially re-named ‘Jean Bishop – The Bee Lady.’

Jean was the unanimous winner of the ‘Name that Train’ competition, during which members of the public were asked to suggest and select names for each of the operator’s five Paragon trains. The other four names selected by the Hull Trains employees and local VIPs were ‘Amy Johnson’, ‘William Wilberforce’, ‘Land of Green Ginger’ and ‘The Humber Bridge’.
