The British Rail Class 755[1] is a class of Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) being built by Stadler Rail for Greater Anglia. They are part of the FLIRT modular train family.[2]
History
In August 2016 Abellio Greater Anglia was awarded the East Anglia franchise with a commitment to replace all of the existing fleet. As part of this an order was placed with Stadler Rail for 38 Bi-Mode Multiple Unit Stadler Flirts. The order is composed of 14 three-car and 24 four-car sets and replace the Class 153, 156 and 170 fleets.[3][2][4][5]
The first unit arrived in the UK in November 2018;[6] entry into service was initially planned to begin in mid-May 2019,[7] but during May it was delayed to the end of June or early July.[8] On 30 May 2019, the ORR authorised the 24 Class 755/4,[9] and the first entered service on 29 July.[10]
All are scheduled to enter service in 2019.[11][12] They will be maintained at Crown Point TMD.
Technical Details
The Class 755 has 3 or 4 passenger vehicles, along with a separate power pack vehicle containing 2 or 4 Deutz V8 diesel engines and generators. All vehicles are linked by Jacobs Bogies, with the end bogies being motored. The unusual layout for a British train allows a lower then normal floor level, this allows step free boarding at standard height platforms. Pantographs are mounted on the intermediate cars.
