Angel Trains specializes in the investment, leasing, and management of rolling stock within the UK rail industry, having established its core offerings in 1994. The company primarily provides modern train vehicles, including the latest battery hybrid and electric trains, designed to enhance passenger experience and meet the evolving demands of the transport sector. Their product portfolio includes the procurement and leasing of high-quality train sets, such as the recently announced 14 new 5-car Hitachi Class 80x trainsets, which are set to improve operational efficiency and sustainability. Angel Trains serves a diverse client base, consisting of train operating companies (TOCs) across the UK, which utilize these vehicles for public transportation.

The geographical markets served extend throughout England, Scotland, and Wales, ensuring that passengers benefit from their innovative rolling stock solutions tailored to the needs of modern rail travel.

Angel Trains is focused on expanding its portfolio with the introduction of new train technologies, including plans for additional battery hybrid and electric train models scheduled for release in the coming years.

The firm aims to expand its geographic reach by entering new markets across Europe by 2025.
