British Rail Class 322 – Stansted Express Livery Mod
In 1987 British Rail (BR) was extending electrification north from London Liverpool Street towards Cambridge. Included in this plan was the construction of new branch line, diverging from the main line at Stansted Mountfitchet, to serve the newly built Stansted Airport, which opened in 1991. BR decided to build a dedicated fleet of units to work a new service called Stansted Express.
To reduce costs the Class 322 units were built to the same basic design as the successful Class 321 units
No surprise then that this is a 321 reskin
