30 June 2001, National Railway Museum, York, England, UK The APT test train stabled on a museum siding. This was the attempt of British Rail of introducing a tilting train about a quarter of a century ago. These Advanced Passenger Trains only ran very few scheduled diagrams with passengers before being withdrawn from service. There were problems as the pre-computer-era tilting system could go into an error state leaving a coach fully tilted, and in the end BR feared the bad press of a train service prone to malfunctioning. Actually only three out of the four car diesel unit are stored here, as one car has been taken indoors into the museum magazine. Digital photo by Klaus Föhl (kf@ph.ed.ac.uk)
