Nabtesco Door systems have been operating in the UK since 2009 on Hitachi Europes Class 395. Better known as the Javelin, this high speed train travels from London to the South Coast on the ‘Channel Tunnel Link’.

Nabtesco Corporation of Japan was looking for UK partner to help service and support their products in the UK rail market. Against stiff competition Nabtesco selected TDS exclusively on their Class 395 External Passenger Door Systems.

Nabtesco and TDS are now working together in a 3 year project that commenced in 2014 to service Class 395 pressing devices on trains operated by Southern Railways.
