27 feb 2024 anni - (UK) Battery train record breaker caught on camera: 138km

Descrizione:

It may not have been a top-secret run, but a battery-powered train has quietly smashed the record for unassisted distance in the UK. Caught on camera in the forests of Warwickshire, a class 230 train test run for Great Western Railways proved the staying power of the unit. The converted and repurposed train, which began life on the London Underground, could be the answer for net-zero transport on secondary routes, where full electrification is uneconomical.
