Description

LNER was seeking to procure a minimum fleet of ten (10) InterCity trains based around specific technical and operating characteristics. The trains were to be fully rated for operation on 25kV Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) and with self-power capability for operation away from the OLE. On Board Energy Storage (OBES) for traction was to be specified as a mandatory requirement to reduce, and wherever practicable eliminate, diesel usage where it would otherwise be necessary. LNER anticipated that some degree of diesel traction may be required to supplement the OBES to meet all the self-power requirements. The trains will provide LNER with additional capacity to accommodate future growth and have performance characteristics that enable the fleet to be timetabled effectively amongst modern InterCity trains, as well as increasing the flexibility of LNER's fleet and providing the ability to provide uninterrupted services during engineering works.
