  Hull Trains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hull Trains is a train operating company in the United Kingdom, running up to six long distance services each day between London Kings Cross and Hull, calling at Grantham, Retford, Doncaster, Selby, Howden and Brough.
Hull Trains is one of the three ‘open access’ rail operators in the UK, meaning that instead of owning a franchise and operating a level of service laid down by the Strategic Rail Authority, it applied for, and was awarded in 2002, access rights for 10 years by the Office of the Rail Regulator.
Hull Trains currently operate a fleet of Class 222 Pioneer diesel-electric multiple units (similar to the Meridian units of the same class used by Midland Mainline), 125 mph trains, which have cut the journey time between Hull and London to an average of 2 hours 40 minutes.
