Class 720, 720569

British Rail Class 720 'Aventra' 5 car 25kV EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) 720569 at the front of the 10 car 1F20 10:47 (11:21 1E) London Liverpool Street- Braintree service train northbound at Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Essex (UK).

 

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.
