Great Western #Railway (GWR) has introduced the UK’s first battery-only passenger train into service, with the Class 230 entering operation on the #Greenford branch line on Saturday 31 January. The train replaced a diesel unit on the 05:30 service from West Ealing following 22 months of trials of fast-charge technology. Last year it set a world record by travelling 200.5 miles on a single charge. GWR said the trial shows battery trains can provide a reliable alternative where electrification is not feasible, supporting plans to replace ageing diesel fleets. Network Rail said the project marks an important step towards lower-emission rail #travel. The train will initially run on Saturdays as further performance data is gathered.
