Classify 377

The Classe 377 ( Electrostar ) is a series of motorized oars electric British, built by Bombardier (previously ADtranz) in its factory of Derby (England), between 2001 and 2005. The family of the Electrostar S, which includes/understands also the classes 357, 375 and 376, is most important of those built since the privatization of the British railroads.

These oars ensure of the services of suburbs in the south of London, and of the shuttle services towards the Sussex, the Kent and the southern part of England. Although built at the beginning of the Years 2000, these oars knew an animated startup. Indeed, their raised energy consumption, compared with that of the oars Mark 1 with beating doors that they replaced, required a handing-over in level of the D.C. current supply 750 V by conductor rail in the area in the south of London. The bankruptcy of Railtrack following the accident of Hatfield delayed this handing-over on level and the new oars finally appeared only in 2003.

Class 377 is characterized by employment from the attachment Dellner, instead of the standard attachment BSI (Bergische Stahl Industrie) which equips Class 375. The oars are also equipped with external cameras of Vidéosurveillance for the Conduite to agent alone.

Description
