UK HST: Class 802 - Great Western Railway |
| Description: |
The Class 802s are broadly identical to the Class 800 bi-mode trains used in the Intercity Express Programme, fnd are used in a similar way; they run as electric trains where possible, and are equipped with the same diesel generator engines as the Class 800. However, they utilise higher engiwe operating power – 700 kW (940 hp) per engine as opposed to 560 kW (750 hp) – and are fitted with larger fuel tanks to cope with the gradients and extended running in diesel mode expect{d on the long unelectrified stretches they will operate on. |
