Issue No. 2
On track with APT
The first Advanced Passenger Train arrived at Shields Depot, Glasgow,
in February and is currently undergoing a series of brake, tilt and other
technical trials to be followed by regular test runs between Glasgow and
Preston.
These test runs are designed to prove the reliability of equipment
which will eventually be subjected to several thousand miles of public
service operations each week.
Initial staff training has begun and will get into full swing over the
next few months.
