NXEMUとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The NXEMU (or NeXt generation Electrical Multiple Unit) are new electric trains planned for First Capital Connect (FCC) in the UK. Bids to build the new fleet for FCC have been submitted although the order is still to be placed. The first 'full length' 240-metre (790 ft) train (what is now a 12 car service) was planned to be tested from the new Three Bridges depot south of London in 2012 and passenger service was expected in 2013. Plans were for the GN side to follow with testing in early 2014 with passenger runs later that year. The order was originally planned to be placed in spring 2010, but this was delayed by the 2010 general election and the subsequent public sector Spending Review.
