Class 755, 755330

British Rail Class 755 3 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755330 ex Ipswich as operated by Greater Anglia arriving in fading light at Felixstowe Station in the County of Suffolk (UK).

 

This was David's train back down the Felixstowe branch line to the Great Eastern main line at Ipswich.

 

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.

 

755330 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.
