Main Products
The vast majority of BREL's output was for British Rail. These included the British Rail Mark 2 and British Rail Mark 3 carriages, the latter being built either for locomotive haulage or part of InterCity 125 diesel High Speed Trains. BREL also built the NIR 80 Class diesel-electric multiple units for Northern Ireland Railways. Other Mark 3 derived vehicles included the British Rail Class 150 diesel multiple units built in the 1980s, plus numerous electric multiple units (such as Class 313 and Class 317).
BREL had limited success in the export market, notably with Mark 2 and Mark 3 carriages for Irish Rail plus some carriages for Taiwan.

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or products:
“One of the main tasks of adolescence is to achieve an identity—not necessarily a knowledge of who we are, but a clarification of the range of what we might become, a set of self-references by which we can make sense of our responses, and justify our decisions and goals.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
