950 001

Network Rail Class 950 forming the 2Z08 Derby RTC - Euston Test Train, passing through Knuston Spinney, Irchester, Northants.

 

The British Rail Class 950 is a diesel multiple unit that was purpose-built for departmental use as a track assessment unit. It was built in 1987 using the same bodyshell as the Class 150/1 "Sprinter" units that were built from 1985-1986.

It was originally classified as a Class 180 test unit, but since this designation is now used by the new First Great Western "Adelante" units, it has been reclassified into the departmental series.

The unit is formed of two driving motor vehicles.
