The British Rail Class 91 is a class of 140 mph (225 km/h) 6300 hp (4700 kW) electric locomotives ordered as a component of the East Coast Main Line modernisation and electrification programme of the late 1980s. The Class 91s were given the auxiliary name of InterCity 225 to indicate their envisaged top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph). The other end of the InterCity 225 train set is formed of a Driving Van Trailer built with a similar body shell to the Class 91 locomotives.
