Advanced Passenger Train

The period after nationalization was marked with rapidly falling ridership levels.

Superelevation was applied to portions of the BR network, although the angle was limited. Here, a Class 91, based on APT technology, rounds a canted turn on the East Coast Main Line.

The Advanced Passenger Train (APT) was an experimental tilting high speed train developed by British Rail during the 1970s and early 1980s, for use on the West Coast Main Line (WCML). The WCML contained many curves, and the APT pioneered the concept of active tilting to address these, a feature that has since appeared on designs around the world. The experimental APT-E achieved a new British railway speed record on 10 August 1975 when it hit 152.3 miles per hour (245.1 km/h), only to be bested by the service prototype APT-P at 162.2 miles per hour (261.0 km/h) in December 1979, a record that stood for 23 years.
