Description
The Turbostar: A Familiar Sight on Britain's Railways First introduced in 1997, the Turbostar family of diesel multiple units is one of the most numerous designs to be used on privatised railways. Over fourteen years, more than a hundred units were built at the Derby Litchurch Lane works for operators across the country. Today, these units can be seen on many local and long-distance services, from the north of Scotland to the south coast. The Turbostar fleet has become a recognisable feature of Britain's rail network, sharing design similarities with other units such as the Electrostar family of electric multiple units. This book explores the varied services undertaken by Turbostars, covering both past and present operators.
