British railway rolling stock

Last updated

British railway rolling stock refers to the trains used in Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

Contents

Main line operators

These lists only include trains currently reported in use on Network Rail routes. For details of previous rolling stock and future deliveries you should see the pages for the individual operators or the alternative lists in the 'see also' section at the bottom of this page.

Electrified routes generally use either 25,000V AC supplied by overhead lines, or 750V DC third rail. The majority of self-powered trains are diesel but other systems are being developed. Some trains use a combination of these power systems so that they can use different routes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rail transport in Great Britain</span> Railway system of Great Britain

The railway system in Great Britain is the oldest railway system in the world. The first locomotive-hauled public railway opened in 1825, which was followed by an era of rapid expansion. Most of the track is managed by Network Rail, which in 2017 had a network of 9,824 miles (15,811 km) of standard-gauge lines, of which 3,339 miles (5,374 km) were electrified. These lines range from single to quadruple track or more. In addition, some cities have separate metro, light rail and tram systems. There are also many private railways, which are primarily short lines for tourists. The main rail network is connected with that of continental Europe by the Channel Tunnel and High Speed 1, which fully opened in 1994 and 2007 respectively.

The InterCity 225 is an electric high speed train in the United Kingdom, comprising a Class 91 electric locomotive, nine Mark 4 coaches and a Driving Van Trailer (DVT). The Class 91 locomotives were built by British Rail Engineering Limited's Crewe Works as a spin-off from the Advanced Passenger Train project, which was abandoned during the 1980s, whilst the coaches and DVT were constructed by Metro-Cammell in Birmingham and Breda in Italy, again borrowing heavily from the Advanced Passenger Train. The trains were designed to operate at up to 140 mph (225 km/h) in regular service, but are limited to 125 mph (200 km/h) principally due to a lack of cab signalling and the limitations of the current overhead line equipment. They were introduced into service between 1989 and 1991 for intercity services on the East Coast Main Line (ECML) from London King's Cross to Leeds, York and Edinburgh.
