	The liveries of Privatisation - 4 - Electric multiple-units
		The class 319 electric multiple-units were first introduced on the Thameslink services from Bedford through London Blackfriars to a variety of destinations south of the Thames.
		Although externally these units are very similar to the class 165 diesel units, the fact that the class 365's have 2+2 seating instead of 2+3 makes them seem luxurious and roomy in comparison.
		At this date, the units were running in three-car formations, as one of the coaches for each set was yet to be delivered.

	High Speed Train - Psychology Central
		Shortly after the introduction of the prototype unit, it was decided to classify the whole set as a permanently-formed diesel-electric multiple unit.
		Production units started to appear from 1976, and these were allocated Class 253 for the Western Region units (which had only one restaurant and kitchen car) and Class 254 for the Eastern Region units (which had two restaurant and kitchen cars).
		The prototype HST held the world record for diesel traction at 230 km/h in 1973 and at 238 km/h in 1987.

	Diesel-electric multiple unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DEMUs are now making a reappearence on British railways in the form of Class 220 Voyager, 221 Super-Voyager and 222 Meridian/Pioneer units, running many services previously provided by the High Speed Train and some faster DMUs (such as the Class 158, 166 168 and 170 series).
		A number of older DEMU types (Thumper and Hasting units) have been preserved and are in use on private railways and for occasional main-line excursions.
		DEMUs were widely used in the United Kingdom after their introduction in the 1960s by British Rail.

	Class 207
		Unlike most diesel multiple units (which have mechanical drives) the power cars on DEMUs are effectively mini diesel-electric locomotives with final drive by electric traction motors.
		The class 207 is the last incarnation of the BR MkI design diesel electric multiple unit.
		This was the Southern's preferred form of multiple unit away from the third rail juice, governed by commonality with the EMU fleet of many components for maintenance purposes.

	HSUPS, Preserving Southern DEMU Thumper Classes 205 & 207
		HSUPS (Hampshire and Sussex Units Preservation Society) exists to preserve at least one example of a Hampshire (Class 205, or formerly known as types 2H or 3H) or Sussex (Class 207, or formerly known as type 3D) Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) or Thumper.
		They were affectionately known as Thumpers because of the noise produced by their large, slow reving, English Electric diesel engines.
		These units were built by the Southern Region of British Railways in the 1950´s, and 50 years later, were still in service with various Train Operating Companies (TOCs) following the privatisation of the railways in the early 1990´s.

	Hampshire & Sussex Units Preservation Society, DEMU History
		The class 205 and 207 Diesel-Electric Multiple Units were the last design of the successful Southern region units, based on the BR standard Mk1 coach, that were introduced from 1957.
		It also had plenty of experience with English Electric diesel generators from the pioneer Southern Railway diesel electric locomotives, and also the LMS pioneer main line diesel electric locomotives which were allocated to the Southern Region for a while.
		These multiple units were introduced to meet the 1955 British Transport Commission's requirement to modernise the railway and eliminate steam haulage.

		Travelling at almost 160 km/h, the 12.45 London King's Cross - King's Lynn train, formed of a four-car Class 365 `Networker Express' electric multiple-unit, suffered a derailment at the southern approach to the station.
		And the long-established Russian diesel locomotive builder Lyudinovo plans to enter the medium-power market with its TGM 1000 B-B design, a model of which was displayed on the firm's stand.

	Edenbridge Town - October 2000
		The train seen here, a Class 205 diesel electric multiple unit, was 43 years old at the time this photograph was taken.
		Together with its sister units, it is now the oldest mainline passenger stock in regular use on the national network.
		As it pulled into the station, the photographer was only able to count two passengers on this train: even though it was an off-peak service, this must be a damning indictment of the current state of the Wealden Line.

	Diesel, locomotive, multiple unit, batteries
		For DMUs (Diesel Multiple Units) traction is provided by a diesel engine, instead of catenary or 3rd rail like metros and EMUs.
		Starting a diesel engine calls for a reliable high-current power source for a short period of up to 30 seconds.
		For a cargo or passenger transportation companies, using diesel locomotives or DMUs, it is crucial to manage assets carefully.

	Electric, locomotive, multiple unit, batteries
		Modern urban mass transit systems like metros and EMUs (Electrical Multiple Units) involve not only high traffic density and frequency, with large numbers of passengers carried in often-crowded conditions, but they frequently have extensive sections of track underground.
		On electric locomotives, batteries are used to raise and lower the pantograph to connect the overhead catenary and also to supply emergency power as back-up for the low voltage system.
		With both EMUs and electric locomotives, emergency power is required for systems such as lighting and air-conditioning, computing, communication and door control.

		For instance, the latest diesel multiple units have reused the 50xxx and 79xxx series for driving motors and the 56xxx series for non-driving motors.
		The new diesel multiple unit builds in the 1980s utilised the 52xxx, 55xxx, 57xxx and 58xxx series for the individual carriages, all of which were motored.
		Carriages and wagons (either not self-propelled, or part of a multiple unit which has power units distributed throughout a semi-permanent formation of carriages) have frequently had similar arrangements for classification and numbering, so are considered together here.
