The British Rail Class 91 is a class of 140 mph (225 km/h), electric locomotives ordered as a component of the East Coast Main Line modernization and electrification program of the late 1980s. The Class 91s were given the auxiliary name of InterCity 225 to indicate their envisaged top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph) which they have never attained in Passenger service. The other end of the InterCity 225 train set is formed of a Driving Van Trailer, built with a similar body shell to the Class 91 locomotive. The locomotive body shells are of all-steel construction. Unusually, the motors are body mounted and also features an under-slung transformer so that the body is relatively empty compared to contemporary electric locomotives. Much of the engineering was derived from the research and operational experience of the APT-P.
