Class 313 returns on the Northern City Line to Moorgate

Built by British Rail Engineering Limited between February 1976 and April 1977 at Holgate Road Carriage Works, the Class 313 was the first production series of the second generation of Electrical Multiple Units for British Rail and the first trains to have dual power functionality; taking power from both the 25kv Over Head Line Equipment and the 750v Third Rail. In 2013, 313121 was refurbished for use with Network Rail (the infrastructure company) to test European Rail Traffic Management Signalling, which is slowly being implemented in parts of London. The refurbishment included ERTMS equipment installed throughout the train, cameras and TV screens so VIPs can watch how the signalling system works, desks and monitoring equipment, battery banks to power said equipment, the installs of kitchen and a toilet. The train has tested ERTMS on the Thameslink Core and the Heathrow Airport Branch of the Great Western Railway. The train is now testing the signalling system in the Northern City Line, which shall enable Automatic Train Operation.
