Class 755, 755327
Relatively new(ish) British Rail Class 755 3 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755327 working the 2D82 14:17 (14:30 RT) Ipswich - Lowestoft Greater Anglia service train at Woodbridge Station in the County of Suffolk (UK).
755327 was built for Greater Anglia by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
The Class 755 bi-mode units should not be confused with the very similar looking Stadler Rail 'FLIRT' Class 745 Electric (only) Multiple Units which were introduced by Greater Anglia in 2020.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole 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. Also note the power pack vehicle located between the first and second coach.
