BREL BR 421/3

Discover the BR 421/3, a classic Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) that served the United Kingdom's railways.

Built by BREL between 1964 and 1972 for British Railways Board, this robust train offered efficient electric traction.

With a top speed of 145 km/h and a standard gauge of 1435 mm, the BR 421/3 provided reliable service. Its electric systems operated on 750 V DC via a third rail, a common setup for many UK lines.

Between 1986 and 1988, a significant refurbishment brought the BR 421/3 up to date, enhancing its operational capabilities for many more years of service.

Each car measures 20.25 meters in length, with a width of 2.82 meters and a height of 3.89 meters, reflecting its solid and practical design for passenger transport.
