The Advanced Passenger Train Project – Kit Spackman

On 24th September, Kit Spackman gave us a talk about the Advanced Passenger Train – Experimental.

Kit’s talk was very informative and covered the preliminary trials with the POP train and the various problems which were identified and overcome.

The final stage of the APT-E was to end in York NRM where it appeared to have been ignored for over 20 years until a group of enthusiasts formed a Support Group and restored the train ti its original state

Finally Kit mentioned the trials and tribulations of the electric APT-P train and its ultimate destiny.

Another excellent talk and it was well attended by 24 members and guests
