Had to google it never heard of it( them )
FLIRT stands for Flinker Leichter Intercity- und Regional-Triebzug (English: “fast, light, innovative intercity and regional train”) and has become one of the most popular and successful platforms for modern rail vehicles. The first FLIRTs were designed as four-car articulated trains with two traction end bogies.
Thought you meant they was flirting
Bimodal. So they can run from either a pantograph or a dinky little centre mounted diesel electric power car if there’s no overhead catenary like in this case (If there was I wouldn’t be flying anywhere near them)
All of Greater Anglia (the soon to be nationalised) use these, having upgraded from a fleet of Mk3s and some class 37s
Thanks for explaining id honestly never heard of them until you posted your video,
Thanks
Also known as Class 755
The dinky little power car can be seen here (the grey box)
It’s not the APT-P but it is it’s smaller Swiss non tilting somewhat younger cousin.
Thanks
I used to be well into trains years ago ( train spotting ) 🕵🏻‍♂️
Always buying a platform ticket to watch them was only about 5-6 pence for a platform ticket lol, loved my train sets as well.
I was brought up as a child backing onto a small (now long gone) goods only branch line so waving at trains was instilled at an early age. Sometimes they wave back
When I read the title, I thought you were referring to this …
