Описание:

Bure Valley Railway, in Aylsham and Wroxham of Norfolk, has become one of the ﬁrst major heritage railways in the country to invest in a zero-emission electric locomotive for passenger use.

Clayton Equipment is to design, build and supply Bure Valley Railway with a new CB12 battery Co-Co locomotive to complement its current ﬂeet of ﬁve steam and three diesel locomotives. Bure Valley Railway is Norfolk’s longest narrow-gauge steam and diesel railway built on the trackbed of part of the former Great Eastern Railway, regularly attracting over 120,000 visitors per year.

As pioneers for sustainability within the locomotive industry, Bure Valley Railway is also spearheading a national development group into bio-coal, alongside the nation's biggest names. Over the last two decades, the railway has managed to save 79T of CO2 emissions per year via its steam locomotives through technical innovations and enhancements. The Clayton CB12 locomotive compliments this drive by the railway to reduce CO2 emissions by addressing the challenges presented by the ageing diesel locomotives while at the same time reducing operating and maintenance costs.
