To work along side the class 500 orbis high speed sets, Project Aurora,
 (a ficticious operator based in Europe near to the Channel Tunnel entrance), 
has taken delivery of a number of Orbis built class 530 high speed trains.<br>
<br>
The 430 km/h class 530 sets are used primarily on the long distance services serving 
EC Capital cities, though not London, like the articulated 9-car sets, the 10 car 
Orbis 530  sets are unable to work the UK because of the length of the cars. 
with the 400km/h plus top speed of these sets, they are proving popular with 
business travellers who need to get between capital cities in Europe. Project 
Aurora operates the class 530's between Copenhagen and Milan.<br>
<br>
The nose of the class 530 Orbis sets is shared with the class 520, a stretched
version of the original class 500 Orbis.<br>
