British Rail APT-E (Experimental)

In the early 1970s, two branches of British Rail were tasked to develop a high speed train, one in Derby and one in Crewe.

This is Derby's (more advanced) entry.


In the 1970s, British Rail Research Division designed a piece of the future. The APT-E was a 152mph (125mph service) aircraft grade tilting train powered by 4 gas turbines and had hydrokinetic breaking.


The APT-E was not the first tilting train by any means, but it was the first to use an active system to tilt the coaches.
