British Rail Class 375

Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRI : British Rail Class 375

---

The British Rail Class 375 Electrostar electric multiple unit train was built by Bombardier Transportation (previously ADtranz) at their Derby Works, from 1999 to 2005. The Electrostar family, which also includes Classes 357, 376 and 377, is the most numerous type of EMU introduced since the privatisation of British Rail.

Description

Like all newly-built third-rail trains in the UK, one coach in each unit is fitted with a recess where a pantograph could be fitted, allowing for future conversion to run on AC power from overhead lines. Although most units are DC only, the class is numbered in the 3xx series normally used for AC units.

The Class 375 is the principal new train used by Southeastern; Southern's units have since been converted to Class 377.
