Networker (train)
Passenger train family built for British Rail / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Networker is a family of multiple unit passenger trains which operate on the UK railway system. They were built in the late 1980s and early 1990s by British Rail Engineering Limited (which became part of ABB in September 1992) and Metro Cammell. The trains were built for the Network SouthEast (NSE) sector of British Rail, which is where their name comes from.
