Class 442 Feature - The Early Years
|
Development work to the
structure of the BR Mk3 coach undertaken for Iarnrod Éireann, specifically the floor
being able to take greater weights (to permit a generator to be installed) and power
operated plug doors, provided the key to the evolution of the Mk3 design that became the
class 442 EMU.
