Product Information

This system controls the temperature and humidity within established comfort limits regardless of outside conditions, supplies the correct amount of outside air, ensures that the distribution of air inside the coach is controlled and draughtfree, and eliminates dirt and dust both of external and internal origin.

The 6-car Midland Pullman carries first class passengers only from Manchester, Central to London, St. Pancras, in the morning, returning in the evening on overall timings less than 3¼ hrs. ... The northbound 85-minute schedule for 99 miles, averaging 70 m.p.h., is the fastest in Britain. ...

The bogies are also of welded construction, the tubular frames of the leading and motor bogies being fabricated from special steel pressings. The necessary power to operate this equipment, and also the fluorescent lighting fitted to all passenger saloons, is provided by one of the auxiliary generating sets mounted under the Second Class Parlour Cars. This power is passed down the train by means of heavy jumper cables between coaches. In normal weather conditions the auxiliary engines at each end of the train will be used separately on alternate journeys, but in extremely cold weather both sets can be used, the second set providing additional floor heat. When the trains are standing in terminal stations an external supply will be connected to the train by means of the jumpers to avoid running the auxiliary engine. This is to obviate the inconvenience which would be caused to passengers on the platform by the noise of the auxiliary engine running in a confined space. The supply will be disconnected and the auxiliary engine started shortly before the train is due to leave.
