            RD27677vid.  SOUTH GREENFORD.

   GWR ex Vivarail Class 230 BEMU (Battery Electric Multiple Unit) at South Greenford on a test run from West Ealing.  The long term plan is to use it on a regular basis on the West Ealing to Greenford branch but, at this stage, it is still undergoing extensive testing to make sure that it will be reliable enough to use in everyday passenger service.  

The Class 230s are repurposed ex London Transport District Line D78 Stock trains, a concept pioneered by the now defunct Vivarail which was led by the late Adrian Shooter.  The main advantage is the rapid charging system which can recharge the train’s batteries in a matter of minutes.
