Description

Kit Spackman will speak on the history of the APT

Notes from a previous presentation: 

Kit’s talk was very informative and covered the APT-E’s preliminary trials including with the POP train and the various problems which were identified and overcome.

The final destiny of the APT-E was to end in York NRM where it appeared to have been stored outside and  ignored for over 20 years until a group of enthusiasts formed a Support Group and restored the train to its original state.

Finally Kit mentioned the trials and tribulations of the electric APT-P train and its ultimate demise
