There is no locomotive at the front.
Would make them a lot more interesting if they did have a loco at the front. Something noisy and dirty would be my choice
Technically speaking, passengers are able to sit right behind the cab (or behind the galley/kitchen) depending on whether sitting in first or standard class, as there is seating in the driving cars. The 801 driving cars are un-powered, but are both fitted with pantographs to collect AC power depending on direction of travel.I see it described in several places as an EMU but surely with the thing on the front being a locomotive, it is a locomotive + carriages. A DMU/EMU is a train with passengers able to sit immediately behind the driver's cab as on the Class 345.
You’re not getting confused with a 91 surely?I see it described in several places as an EMU but surely with the thing on the front being a locomotive, it is a locomotive + carriages. A DMU/EMU is a train with passengers able to sit immediately behind the driver's cab as on the Class 345.
It certainly sounds like it! There is definitely no locomotive in a Class 80x series EMU!You’re not getting confused with a 91 surely?
