Description

It is now some forty years since the term Second Generation EMU entered rail industry parlance. The British Rail (BR) Class 313 heralded a new era back in 1976/77 with BR s first order of suburban passenger trains with both a pantograph (for 25Kv AC) and shoegear (for 750V DC third rail ). These units continue to see daily service both on north of London commuter services and on Sussex s Coastway services. Since those early days, over forty classes of EMU have entered traffic throughout what is now, of course, a privatised railway. More and more operators are able to opt for their use over DMUs as more of the country benefits from installation of an electrified railway.

This book offers a look at all the classes found in the UK, as well as a look at the country s electrified lines.
