APT on Trial in the early 1980s

A short and silent sequence taken directly from 8mm footage showing an APT production model departing London Euston, en-route at Berkhamsted and its eventual arrival back at the capital.

Magic stuff, a 1+ 4 is the shortest possible P-Train of course, I bet that felt wonderful on board.

1:00 Looks very much like the curves into Wolverton? I was lucky to see the APT run many times when I was a kid as I lived almost beside the WCML at the time. Great clips, thank you!

It was a good machine. The circumstances of it's abandonment were a disgrace.

[@ThePlayerToBeNamedLater]

Agreed, poor leadership crushed the APTs chances into oblivion
