British railway rolling stock

(Redirected from Passenger Locomotives in use in the UK)

British railway rolling stock refers to the trains used in Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

Main line operators

edit

These lists only include trains currently reported in use on Network Rail routes. For details of previous rolling stock and future deliveries, you should see the pages for the individual operators or the alternative lists in the 'see also' section at the bottom of this page.

Electrified routes generally use either 25,000V AC supplied by overhead lines, or 750V DC third rail. The majority of self-powered trains are diesel, but other systems are being developed. Some trains use a combination of these power systems so that they can use different routes.
