The British Rail Class 399 is a type of rail vehicle built by Vossloh on its Citylink platform for operation by Sheffield Supertram. While it is a low floor tram, it is also capable of being used upon the National Rail network; the Class 399 is the first tram-train to see operational use in the United Kingdom. In 2013, an order was placed with Vossloh for the construction of a batch of seven tram-trains for Supertram. It operates as a pioneering tram-train hybrid vehicle as part of an initial pilot of the operation of such vehicles. The launch of live services using the Class 399 was repeatedly delayed, reportedly due to planning and development-related difficulty experienced by Network Rail, who were responsible for the installation of additional track and other infrastructure-related changes to accommodate the tram-trains upon the heavy rail network, as well as a necessary full track replacement programme performed by Supertram. In January 2016, the first tram-train commenced live testing on the Supertram network. The type first entered passenger service on 14 September 2017, but were initially restricted to only some sections of Supertram's network as further work was still required on other parts, including Network Rail lines. Full tram-train service began on 25 October 2018. The results of the trials may become a decisive factor on the adoption of tram-train technology at various other sites across the country.
