what is it?
The British Rail Class 769 Flex is a class of four-car bi-mode multiple unit (BMU) converted by Brush Traction, and running in service with Northern Trains. The train is a conversion of the existing Class 319 electric multiple unit (EMU), a conventional unit type which had become surplus to requirements during the 2010s. The conversion process was carried out by a partnership between the rolling stock leasing company Porterbrook and train manufacturer Brush Traction.
