Brand newish British Rail Class 755 4 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755417 working the 1K79 13:27 (14:26 RT) 'Greater Anglia' Norwich- Stansted Airport service train at Ely Station in the County of Cambridgeshire (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.
The pantograph is down here and the unit is operating on diesel power as no OHLE from Norwich to Ely, however from beyond Ely southbound the unit with raise the pantograph and operate on 25kV.
755417 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.
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.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.
