British Rail Class 325

The British Rail Class 325 is a dual-voltage electric multiple unit built to carry bulk mail for Royal Mail, with four-car sets that take 25 kilovolts alternating current from overhead wires or 750 volts direct current. The 16 units were ordered in 1994 and built at ABB Derby between 1995 and 1996, and were first given the TOPS classification Class 350 before it was changed to 325. They share the traction equipment and body design of the Class 319 but carry cabs of the same design as the ABB Networker family. They entered service carrying parcels and mail from London to Glasgow and Edinburgh at 100 miles per hour, and ran from 1995 until services ended on 14 June 2024, after Royal Mail announced it would stop moving mail by its own rail fleet.
