In this special episode of The Everything Electric Show, we take you on an 18-month journey behind the scenes of the development and deployment of the UK's first battery-electric train. Join Imogen as she follows the incredible progress of the Great Western Railway team, from designing the innovative shoe gear charging mechanism, to conducting fast-charging tests at Long Marston, and finally seeing the train in operation at West Ealing.

Whether you're a fan of sustainable transport, electric trains, or cutting-edge green technology or all of the above, this episode is a wonderful insight into the future of rail travel. Enjoy! @EverythingElectricShow @fullychargedshow @GWRUK @ChrisWatkinsMedia
