abstract
  • British Rail's third design of standard passenger carriage, designated 'Mark 3' (also described as Mark III), was developed in response to growing competition from airlines and the motorcar in the 1960s. A variant of the Mk3 became the rolling stock for the High Speed Train or Inter-City 125, Originally conceived as locomotive-hauled coaching stock, the first coaches built were for the prototype HST in 1972. Production coaches entered service between 1975 and 1988, and multiple-unit designs based on the Mark 3 bodyshell continued to be built until the early 1990s. The Mark 3 and its derivatives are widely recognised as a safe and reliable design, and most of the surviving fleet is still in revenue service on the British railway network in 2013.
