British Rail Class 323

The British Rail Class 323 electric multiple-unit passenger trains were built by Hunslet Transportation Projects. All 43 units were built from 1992 through to 1996, although mock-ups and prototypes were built and tested in 1990 and 1991.

Entering service in 1992, the 323s were among the last trains to enter service with British Rail before its privatisation in the mid-1990s. The units were specifically designed to operate on inner-suburban commuter lines in and around Birmingham and Manchester with swift acceleration and high reliability. Of the 43 sets built, 26 are in operation with West Midlands Trains and 17 with Northern. By 2021, the West Midlands Trains sets will be replaced by new rolling stock and most of the fleet will be operated by Northern.

The units are known for a distinctive whine made during acceleration or deceleration.


Available from 1992
Top speed: 90 MPH
Pantograph up and down versions available


Due to the limitations of the game's audio system, I cannot recreate the 323's famed whining sounds. This is as close as I got without it sounding horrible at other parts. You're welcome to attempt creating a nicer soundset!

This mod was originally developed for transport fever 1, and has been modified to work in transport fever 2 with no improvements. It probably looks worse than in the older game.
