Welcome aboard the British Rail Class 139 — one of the most innovative and environmentally friendly railcars in the UK. In this video, we explore how the Class 139 lightweight railcar, designed by Parry People Movers, is revolutionizing short-distance public transport on the historic Stourbridge Town Branch Line — the shortest branch line in Europe!

Running on a unique flywheel energy storage system, the Class 139 dramatically reduces fuel consumption and emissions by reusing kinetic energy from braking. Unlike traditional diesel units, it pairs a compact LPG engine with flywheel tech to deliver a quiet, efficient, and sustainable ride.

✔️ Why is the Class 139 a game changer?

Operates on ultra-short branch lines with high frequency

Cuts fuel usage by up to 80%

Carries over 500,000 passengers annually

Designed for minimal infrastructure and low maintenance

A true example of green transport innovation
