Production Details:
The Class 221 Super Voyager is a class of
tilting diesel-electric multiple-unit express passenger trains built
in Bruges, Belgium, by Bombardier Transportation in 2001/02. The
Class 221 are similar to the Class 220 Voyager units, but were built
with a tilting mechanism enabling up to six degrees of tilt to allow
higher speeds on curved tracks, most have five coaches, and they
have a different bogie design. They have a maximum speed of 125 mph
(200 km/h). Currently these trains are divided between two
operators, Avanti West Coast (20 sets) and CrossCountry (24 sets).
The sets operated by CrossCountry had their tilt function disabled
in 2008 to improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs.
