<p>Two types of electric trains replace the existing diesel trains on the Great Western
Main Line following electrification. Class 387 electric trains replace diesel commuter
trains in the Thames Valley. They are brand new trains built by Bombardier to the
most modern standards, including in respect of lighting and disabled accessibility.
The first are already in service on the route between Hayes & Harlington and Paddington.
The other type of train is the Intercity Express, which replaces diesel trains on
the long-distance routes from Paddington. This is also a brand new train, built by
Hitachi, again to the most modern standards, including in respect of lighting and
disabled accessibility.</p>
