Vivarail Units Take Over Marston Vale Services
The title of this post is the same asw this article on Railway Gazette.
The article contains an informative video of Adrian Shorter talking about the Class 230 train.
Much of the article and the video is information that has already been well reported.
Adrian Shooter does mention that the diesel-electric-battery versions of the Class 230 train for Transport for Wales will incorporate geo-fencing.
This would mean that in sensitive areas, the diesel engines would be cut out and only battery power would be used.
The process would be controlled automatically using the train’s position from GPS.
This technique has been used on hybrid buses to lower emissions and noise levels in sensitive areas.
