- This paper describes a method for designing a fuel-cell hybrid propulsion system for a regional train. The work follows on from Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education’s design of a narrow gauge hydrogen fuel cell hybrid locomotive. We have used the research in this paper in our partnership with Porterbrook Rail company and developed the first mainline bi-mode hydrogen train approved for UK operation. HydroFLEX was demonstrated at Rail Live and operated on the mainline in 2020. We have also used our research into enable Hitachi, Alstom UK, and Stadler to develop their Hydrogen Rail vehicles.
