Home > British Rail Mark 3


British Rail's third design of carriages was designated Mark 3. There were three sub-divisions; Mark 3, Mark 3A and Mark 3B. Mark 3 refers solely to carriages used as part of High Speed Train sets, while Mark 3A and 3B carriages are both locomotive-hauled stock varieties, originally used on the West Coast Main Line route from London Euston. Locomotive-hauled trains are now being replace on the WCML by new Class 390 electrical multiple units. Some Mark 3 carriages are being transferred to 'One' Anglia to replace their current Mark 2E/2F fleet.
