The Bure Valley Railway in Norfolk has welcomed the arrival of its new battery-electric locomotive.
Weighing in at 13.6 tonnes, the locomotive arrived at Aylsham from manufacturers, Clayton Equipment Ltd.
The BVR says that this is the first all-new design and build battery electric locomotive for passengers use on a UK statutory regulated railway of any gauge.
The locomotive is British-built and will be able to haul the railway’s heaviest trains.
Commissioning and testing will now take place before the locomotive can enter service.
