Class 325 Royal Mail Profile and Models

The British Rail Class 325 is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train owned by and operated for the Royal Mail to carry bulk mail. The class consists of four-car sets with dual-voltage 25 kV (AC) and 750 V (DC) power. While the Class 325 cabs bear a resemblance to the Networker family of DMUs and EMUs, the Class 325 is based on the Class 319. The units entered into service carrying parcels and mail from London to Glasgow and Edinburgh at 100 mph. At launch, the trains were operated by British Rail's parcel's service, Rail Express Systems (RES). With the Privatisation of British Rail operation was transferred to EWS. After a brief period out of work, they resumed service with First GBRf in 2004 and later went into ownership with DB Cargo UK - who still operate them to this day.
