Coradia is the name given to a series of multiple-unit inter-city and regional trains manufactured by Alstom. There are a number of variants of this series, used in several countries.
In the United Kingdom, the family is represented by two sub-families. The diesel-powered Coradia 1000 family consists of Class 175, a unit currently operating in Wales, and Class 180 Adelante, a 125 mph high-speed train used by First Great Western. The electrical Coradia Juniper family consists of the Class 334 (used for Glasgow commuter services), the Class 458 (used in the South West of England), and Class 460 (used for Gatwick Express airport services). These two families are frequently referred to as simply Coradia and Juniper, respectively.
The Coradia Lint, originally designed by LHB before their acquisition by Alstom, is a diesel-powered light train similar to the Siemens Desiro and Bombardier Talent. It is used by a number of railways in Germany (DB class 640 and 648), the Netherlands, and Denmark.
The Coradia Lirex is used for SL (designated X60) for commuter services in the Stockholm area, and on order for Deutsche Bahn in Germany and Arriva in Skåne.
The Coradia Duplex is a double-decker model, used for TER services in France (designated Class Z 26500), by Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (designated CFL 2200), and for services in the Mälaren region of Sweden (designated X40).
