Electric trains started to run over this route in 1908, using the overhead 6.6 kV, 25 Hz AC electric supply installed and generated at the MR s own power station in Heysham. The electric multiple unit s consisted of three driving motor coaches and six driving trailer coaches. Since the DM cars had a cab at each end, this allowed trains of one, two, or three cars to be formed. Driving motors The three DM cars were built by the MR at their Derby Carriage and Wagon Works Derby Works and were 60 feet 18  m in length. Two had Siemens electrical equipment fitted, while the third had Westinghouse equipment. LMS numbers for the motor coaches 28610 28612 Driving trailers Of the six DT cars, four were built new by the MR at their Derby works, while the other two were converted from existing hauled stock compartment coaches. Withdrawal In February 1951, these venerable units were finally withdrawn from service. Steam locomotive hauled trains operated passenger services over the Lancaster Heysham Line from then until August 1953, when electric trains took over again, this time the prototype British Rail Class AM1 Class AM1 units following the installation of the appropriate new equipment. The line voltage remained at 6,600 but the frequency was altered to 50 Hz and this was Transformer transformed and Rectifier rectified on the trains to supply DC traction motors. This experiment led to the introduction of the 25 kV, 50 Hz system as standard for new electrification on British Railways.
