    Hydrogen-powered train to be tested in Scotland as fuel of future

    in StarckGate News

    The experimental train will be created by converting ScotRail carriages retired in December.

    It is likely to be tested on a heritage line in Scotland like the Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway, which has been used for trials of battery trains.

    Testing would then be switched to a main line.


    Conversion work will be done at train refurbisher Brodie Engineering in Kilmarnock. The technology involved will be developed by London-based Arcola Energy, with the University of St Andrews also involved in the Scottish Enterprise project.

    Arcola chief executive Dr Ben Todd said hydrogen could be used on non-electrified routes which were too long for battery-powered trains.

    He said: “It will be a small feasibility study, involving the refit of a former ScotRail class 314 electric train.”
