Quite old — built in 1979 — and it's been retrofitted to run on hydrogen. so, what was a class 314 headed for the scrapheap is now a class 614 hydrogen—powered train. the hydrogen is stored in tanks underneath the carriages, along with the hydrogen fuel cell, which converts the hydrogen back to electricity, which powers the train. all that is emitted is steam and water. the hydrogen needed to power the train is made on site. electricity from renewable sources is used to split water, creating hydrogen. that's then compressed, compressed again... ..and then stored, ready for refuelling the...

Which converts the hydrogen back to electricity which powers the train. all that is emitted is steam and water. the hydrogen needed to power the train is made on site. electricity from renewable sources is used to split water, creating hydrogen. that is then compressed, compressed again, and then stored, ready for refuelling the train. but if most of the uk rail network is electrified, what part will hydrogen play? some commentators say that hydrogen is actually a bit of a distraction and what we should be focusing on is fully electrifying our railway lines. if you have a route where you canno...

Network is electrified, what part will hydrogen play? some commentators say that hydrogen is actually a distraction and what we should be focusing on is fully electrifying our railway lines. if you have a route where you cannot do overhead electrification and the route is too long or there is not time to charge, then the hydrogen train fills that gap. you can get a range approaching diesel, you can refuel quickly and you can transport hydrogen multiple ways. so the hydrogen train fulfils some operational requirements you cannot meet with other approaches. it is not the only area of transport l...
