| abstract | - Super Express is the name given to the Hitachi multiple unit rolling stock forming the British Department for Transport's 'preferred option' for the Intercity Express Programme. It would initially be operated on the East Coast Main Line (ECML) and Great Western Main Line (GWML), with maximum speed limited to mph (). Agility Trains stated that the trains could be upgraded "with minor modifications" to run at mph (). An in-cab-signalling system such as ERTMS would be required for the higher line speed. In February 2010 it was announced that the Intercity Express Programme was suspended pending an independent report, with a decision on its viability to be given after the 2010 UK General Election, following the report in July 2010 the decision on the procurement was to be made later in 2010 and then this was deferred to 2011 along with decisions on the further electrification of the mainline network.
