Southeastern Class 375 unit No. 375308 approaches Cuxton working the 2T25 11:03 Maidstone West to Strood service
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.

British Rail Class 374 25kV AC 1.5/3kV DC dual voltage 16 car Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 374008 (physically numbered as 4008) as operated by Eurostar by the buffers at St. Pancras International Station in London (UK).
The Class 374 Eurostar units are built by Siemens AG, are part of the Velaro high speed train family and are also known as the Eurostar e320.
These Class 374 units were introduced into service from November 2015 and run alongside (for now) the much older Class 373's along the HS1 (High Speed 1) line with 'Eurostar' services towards and through the Channel tunnel into Europe.

Note the ungainly air conditioning units on top of the train and the far more agreeable Victorian architecture that dates back to 1868. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Pancras_railway_station

A Class 50 and stock stabled at Newquay, with some sort of electrical charging going on. Looks like 'Agincourt'? It's a refurbished one in standard BR livery which narrows it down a bit.
Problems during production and testing led to several class 323 bodyshells being stored in Halifax. Here seen at the former Asquiths engineering company at Highroad Well. These units were built by Hunslet in Leeds.
This is the Hornby electric class 71, with third rail and phantagraph.
It's seen on very unfamiliar settings, on the ELMRC Newcastleton layout, pulling NSE MK2 coaches
An unidentified B.R.(S.R.) Class "4-BEP" (later Class "410") St. Mk.I, 750 v dc 3rd rail 4-car e.m.u. in BR green livery without yellow warning panel somewhere on the North Kent Main Line, probably in the Sittingbourne area probably just after the completion of the Kent Coast Electrification Scheme Phase I in June 1959. Scanned photograph from an old album I bought in a junk shop in Sittingbourne, Kent in 1976. Identity of photographer unknown.

The ‘one-off’ Class 89 was an awkward design from a livery perspective, as demonstrated by this fictional Virgin Trains version - the same livery sat much better on my earlier Class 91 image. In reality, prototype 89001 saw some service with East Coast Mainline franchise operator Great North Eastern Railway (GNER) in that operator’s dark blue and red livery, but it did not pass with the franchise to subsequent operators. GNER was succeeded first by National Express East Coast and then East Coast Trains before the franchise passed to Virgin Trains East Coast in 2015 – by which time there was no requirement for a ‘one-off’ locomotive.
