Class 221, 221132
British Rail Class 221 'Super Voyager' Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 221132 with the 1V58 09:00 (12:45 RT) Glasgow Central - Penzance Cross Country Trains service train at York Station on the East Coast Main Line in North Yorkshire (UK).
This train arrived at Penzance on time at 20:54.
Note the Dellner type coupling system at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
The energy absorption technology in a Dellner Coupling allows collisions at speeds of up to 9 mph with no structural damage and up to 22 mph with deformation while the carriages remain on track.
