The British Rail Class 180 "Adelante" is Britain's first 125 mph diesel multiple unit and only diesel-hydraulic high-speed train. Built by Alstom (2000-2001), fourteen five-car units have served First Great Western, Hull Trains, Grand Central, East Midlands Railway, and Northern Rail. Featuring five Cummins QSK19 engines delivering 3,750 hp combined output and distinctive streamlined cabs, the class offers exceptional livery variety spanning seven schemes.
