Alstom BR 458/5

Discover the BR 4585 EMU, a versatile electric multiple unit that has served the United Kingdom's rail network with distinction.

Originally built by Alstom between 2000 and 2001, this "Juniper" family train underwent significant refurbishment between 2012 and 2014, ensuring its continued efficiency and passenger comfort.

Operating with a 5-car formation, the BR 4585 features a top speed of 121 km/h and runs on a 750 V DC third rail electric system, making it a familiar sight on routes operated by South Western Railway and previously by South West Trains.

Its standard gauge of 1435 mm and dimensions of 2.8 m width and 3.77 m height are typical for modern British rolling stock, contributing to its reliable performance across various lines.
