Class 755, 755338
Grab shot of brand newish British Rail Class 755 3 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755338 as operated by Greater Anglia ready to work the 2T10 10:01 'Gainsborough Line' service to Sudbury at Marks Tey Station in the County of Essex (UK).
The Class 755 BMU's were a direct replacement from 2019 for the ancient Class 156 'Sprinter' DMU trains that operated on rural Greater Anglia secondary lines.
755338 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 almost identical looking Stadler Rail 'FLIRT' Class 745 Electric (only) Multiple Units which are also operated by Greater Anglia.
