An interesting comparison can be made with this coach (a mk2) and the Mk3 behind it.

This coach is now back in action as part of the new Hitachi hybrid HST. This is an HST that has a huge battery pack in one coach to run on. Currently testing on the Great Central Railway.

The battery pack is only to get the train moving for the first few miles, the train isn't completely battery powered.

This vehicle has been converted for use on the ERTMS project. It will be used with the class 97/3 locos. Currently it sits at Derby RTC waiting the project to get to the stage where it is needed.
