A 6-car Siemens Nexas EMU arrives at Flinders Street station on the Upfield service in Melbourne, Australia. A DART 8500 class commuter EMU at Howth Junction railway station, Ireland. An electric multiple unit or EMU is a multiple-unit train consisting of self-propelled carriages using electricity as the motive power.
EMUs were given six-digit unit numbers, the first three digits representing the class and the last three being a unique identifier. AC EMU class numbers begin with a '3', Southern Region third rail DC EMUs with a '4' and other DC EMUs with a '5'. [citation needed] In the late 1960s, the need for a new EMU design was recognised.
A particular oddity of Eastern/Anglian region EMU stock was the fitting of fibre glass snow shields between the pantograph and the supporting insulators. One member of the class, 302 302, was experimentally fitted with thyristor control in the early 1970s. After the experiment it was converted back to the original tap changer control, although ...

The Class 379 was specifically procured in response to a government white paper issued in 2007, under which £185 million of investment was issued to the West Anglia Main Line (WAML), the bulk of which was spent with Bombardier Transportation to procure the 30-strong Class 379 fleet of EMUs. [1]
The British Rail Class 323 is a class of electric multiple unit (EMU) passenger train built by Hunslet Transportation Projects and Holec. All 43 units were built from 1992 through to 1995, [6] although mockups and prototypes were built and tested in 1990 and 1991.
The British Rail Class 508 was a class of electric multiple unit (EMU) passenger train built by British Rail Engineering Limited, at Holgate Road carriage works, York, in 1979 and 1980. They were a variant of British Rail 's standard 1972 design for suburban EMUs, eventually encompassing 755 vehicles and five classes ( 313 / 314 / 315 / 507 ...
