Sheffield, EMT 222017 1F47 (14.32 London St Pancras Int - Sheffield) January 14th 2015.
East Midlands Trains 'Meridian' 222017 comes to a stand at journeys end terminating the 14.32 St Pancras - Sheffield, January 14th 2015.
* Numerous changes were implemented during EMT's tenure (2007 - 2019) including the introduction of additional trains between Sheffield and London along with infrastructure improvements to enable faster services to be operated.
* The franchise developed a reputation for its attention to customer service and public safety, winning multiple awards for these aspects. Passenger numbers also grew, necessitating the lengthening of several services to accommodate this.
EMT's franchise period was extended on multiple occasions, before rival transport company Abellio was announced as the next franchisee in April 2019 after Stagecoach was disqualified from the bidding process for failing to meet employee pension obligations in its bid. Accordingly, EMT's services were transferred to East Midlands Railway on 18 August 2019.
