Class 220, 2200XX
British Rail Class 220 'Voyager' 4 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 2200XX working the 1V42 06:10 (10:29 12L) Cross Country Trains Derby- Plymouth service train westbound at Totnes Station on the South Devon Main Line in Devon (UK) on June 25th 2018.
Note the lack of any obvious numbers to quickly identify this Class 220 unit for enthusiasts and railwaymen alike. Very irritating.
Also note the 'Dellner Coupling' at the front of the train which is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler that connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
The energy absorption technology in a Dellner Coupling is designed to allow an accidental collision up to 9 mph with no structural damage and up to 22 mph with some carriage deformation, however up to this speed the train should remain upright and on the track.
