BR COMPLETES PROTOTYPE HIGH-DENSITY TRAIN

After three years of development, the first train of high-density electric multiple-unit stock was allocated to the Southern Region for service trails on its complex 750 v dc inner-suburban network. The cars will eventually replace the 4-Sub units. Electric braking, sliding doors and types of trucks are features. Traction and braking forces are transmitted between truck and vehicle body by a floating link system and king-pin, all flexible connections have bonded rubber bushes.
