EMU_357

CLASS 357

The replacement stock for the LTS rail, now C2C operation, are these two fleets 74 four-car Adtranz/Bombardier 'Electrostar' units. The fleets have been built at Derby Litchurch lane and caused many serious problems during their introduction period. The units have state of the art electronics, which have taken far longer than planned to get through Railtrack certification.
The units are of the open saloon style having a high-density 2+3 internal layout, access is by two pairs of bi-parting sliding plug doors each side of each vehicle.
The sets were originally delivered in base white primer, this was later given green branding. The new C2C mauve livery was applied to a couple of sets during delivery.
The two sub classes reflect different owners of the trains, the 357/0s are owned by Porterbrook while the 357/2s are owned by Angel Trains.
