In this review, we jump aboard one of CAF’s most successful UK-built units — the Class 197 — and explore why it stands out as the best of the CAF Civity fleet. Operated by Transport for Wales, these brand-new diesel multiple units are reshaping regional travel across Wales and the Borders with a leap in passenger experience, reliability, and performance.

🛠 About the Class 197:

Built at CAF’s Newport factory, the Class 197s are the most advanced members of the UK Civity family. Unlike earlier CAF units, they offer refined interiors, modern tech, and a noticeably smoother ride. Built for regional and long-distance services, they bring real comfort to routes that have long relied on aging stock.
