	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Intercity 225: Fastest in the fleet
		Intercity 225: Decade of service in the UK The Intercity 225 which operates on the East Coast Mainline is the fastest domestic passenger train in the UK.
		Following the scrapping of the APT, the General Electric Metro-Cammell Intercity 225, capable of a maximum speed of 140mph, emerged as the successor to the Intercity 125.
		Intercity 225 uses a standard innovation in train design which dealt with an age-old problem that slowed train travel before the advent of the intercity model of transport.

	High Speed Train - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The origins of the InterCity 125 are steeped in irony because it was initially planned as a stop gap.
		The InterCity 125 was introduced between 1976 and 1982 by British Rail, at a time when the maximum speed of British trains was limited to 100 mph (160 km/h).
		The InterCity 125 is still in widespread use.

		Each InterCity 125 is a fixed formation diesel with 7, 8 or 9 of the new Mark Ill carriages sandwiched between two 2250hp power cars - one at either end of the train to allow for the fastest possible turnround after each journey.
		InterCity 125s are seemingly in a state of perpetual motion, for to get the best use out of its assets - its locomotives and coaches - Interfjity's trains are exploited to the full, putting in endurae feats unequalled by any other railway worldwide.
		Intercity 125s have probably done more than any other train to accelerate the present rail revival where passenger miles travelled are equal to the early 1960s - the pre-Beeching era when the network was much larger.

		Built in 1972 and introduced to passenger service four years later, the Intercity 125 has been the workhorse of the national network for a generation, and is still used by GNER, First Great Western and Midland Mainline.
		The SRA has yet to set out a timetable and has left plans for a replacement out of its new franchise on the east coast mainline, which is due to begin next year.

		The train is capable of 125 mph (200 km/h) and is considered one of the best trains Britain has produced, although as of 2004, they are showing signs of ageing.
		Its trade name was "Inter-City 125", spelling later changed to Intercity 125 or the more colloquial name of "Screamer", referring to the loud screaming noise made by the turbocharger of the train's 2,250 bhp (1,678 kW) Paxman engines.
		The original Inter-City 125 livery was blue and grey coaches, with yellow front (for visibility), with the yellow continuing down the side of the power cars.

	The Inter-City 125
		Studies were done, and 125 mph or 200km/h came up as a reasonable speed that railways in the UK could cope with.
		An Inter City 125 is made up of two class 43 power cars, one at each end, and 8 or 7 trailers in the middle for passengers.
		When first introduced test runs where made which set a world record for a diesel train, 143 mph (230 km/h) and this record was broken in 1987 when the train set a record of 148 mph, which makes this the fastest diesel train in the world.

	The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago: Darren Almond,
		Almond (Intercity 125) is not simply a portrait of Almond as a train but Almond as an institution, Almond as the whole of the bureaucratic machinations that constitute British Rail, from its tracks, to its satellite offices, to its central headquarters.
		Set to the beat of techno music, Schwebebahn's slow, grainy quality is a dreamy memory of cinema's infancy where some of its earliest footage was in fact of trains, footage announcing it as the artform that had conquered both time and space.
		If Almond (Intercity 125) is an index linguistically subsuming the person of Darren James Almond, then in this case it references Traction, a full-blown portrait of the artist not as a young man but in his preconceived state - a portrait of his roots.

		The success of the diesel powered high speed train, InterCity 125, in attracting passengers has proved this on routes where it is possible to cruise at high speeds for many miles.
		The latest InterCity strategy confirms that the benefits of reduced journey times are still justified commercially, but recent analysis shows that speeds as high as 155 mph are no longer commercially viable on either the West or East Coast Main Lines.
		To save energy, the passenger vehicles are articulated (share their bogies with the adjacent vehicle) and are built from aluminium alloy, which gives a 40 per cent weight saving over the bodies of conventional steel coaches.

		It still holds the world speed record internet phones that work through high speed connections for a diesel-powered train (it achieved 143mph (232km/h) on test in 1973, which it bettered by achieving 148mph (238 km/h) on another test in 1987; its highest speed in passenger service was 144mph (231 km/h) achieved in 1985).

		The driver of an InterCity 125 which crashed into a freight train in west London yesterday, killing six people and injuring 150, was arrested and questioned in connection with manslaughter charges, British Transport Police said last night.
		Investigators want to know if the driver of the crowded express from Swansea to Paddington, travelling at more than 100mph, shot a red light before ploughing into the rear of the freight train lumbering across its path at Southall station, or whether he was wrongly given a green light.
		Last night Great Western said the InterCity train involved in the crash was one of its older models and had probably been built in the seventies.
