A total of 282 carriages were built, to maintain a fleet of 30 fixed formations Each one comprised of nine vehicles, operating with a Class 91 locomotive and a Driving Van Trailer on the other end to allow trains to operate in both directions without needing to turn the locomotiveThe Mk4 is an all-steel design which incorporates a number of improvements over the previous Mk3s Most notably, the inclusion of automatic push-button operated plug-type doors in place of the manually-operated slam doors The body shells, which were built by BREL and Breda in Milan, also have fully sealed gangways and controlled emission toilets (CETs) The coaches were used by successive ECML train operators that followed on from BR InterCity, including GNER, East Coast, and LNER, though they were largely replaced with the arrival of the first Class 801 â€˜Azumasâ€ from 2019/20, with large numbers going to scrap, Manufacturer: Hornby Hobbies Ltd
