Abbreviation for Advanced Passenger Train. A streamlined high-speed train developed by British Railways (1994-1997, divided and privatized) following the HST. It entered service in December 1981. Initially, prototype tests were conducted using gas turbine-powered cars, but it was eventually completed as a single-phase 25 kilovolt AC electric train. It is a centralized power system, and while the French National Railways' TGV (Tejer-V) has both ends as motorized cars, this train has one or two central cars as motorized cars. There are six trailer cars on each side of the motorized car, making it an articulated car. It also has a forced body tilt mechanism. It has a maximum speed of 260 kilometers per hour and an output of 6,000 kilowatts. It was in service for a short time and was withdrawn in 1986, and some of it is now preserved at the National Railway Museum in York.

Advanced Passenger Trainの略称。イギリス国鉄(1994~1997年、分割・民営化された)がHSTに引き続いて開発した流線形高速列車。1981年12月から営業運転に入った。当初はガスタービン動力車によって試作試験が行われていたが、最終的には単相交流25キロボルトの電車編成として完成した。動力集中方式で、フランス国鉄のTGV(テージェーベー)が両端車を動力車としているのに対し、中央の1両ないし2両を動力車としている。動力車を挟んで付随車が6両ずつあり、連節車になっている。また強制車体傾斜機構を有する。最高速度は毎時260キロメートル、出力は6000キロワット。営業期間は短く1986年には廃車となり、現在は一部がヨーク市の国立鉄道博物館などに保存されている。 [西尾源太郎・佐藤芳彦] 『佐藤芳彦著『世界の高速鉄道』(1998・グランプリ出版)』 [参照項目] | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
