The Class 323 electric multiple unit came into being essentially as a 25 kV regional equivalent of the BRB Class 465 Networker units. Principal features include 23 m aluminium bodyshells and three-phase traction equipment without an interference current monitor. In addition it is the first 25 kV rolling stock in the United Kingdom to incorporate regenerative braking. The paper describes the design and build of Class 323, making reference to both its intended use and the newly formed company awarded the contract. Some of the more significant service experiences are referred to, together with reliability and availability issues.
