A lead car is provided, the lead car being positionable at the first or last position of a train set operable on a route having an electrified section and a non-electrified section. The lead car has a pantograph located on a roof of the lead car. The lead car further has a generation unit located beneath a floor of a passenger saloon of the lead car, the generation unit comprising an engine and an electricity generator driven by the engine. The lead car further has traction motors to drive the lead car, the traction motors being selectably drivable by electrical power collected by the pantograph or by electrical power generated by the generation unit. The pantograph is relatively close to an end of the lead car which forms an end of the train set, while the generation unit is relatively distant from said end of the lead car. The floor changes height between the pantograph and the generation unit such that a first portion of the floor extending beneath the pantograph is lower than a second portion of the floor extending above the generation unit.
