- Die britischen Advanced Passenger Trains waren Personenzüge der British Rail (BR), die mit dem Ziel hoher Reisegeschwindigkeiten entwickelt wurden. Dabei sind zwei Unterarten zu unterscheiden: Zum einen existiert der APT-E (E für Experimental), der mit einer Gasturbine betrieben wurde und zum anderen der APT-P (P für Prototype), welcher elektrisch angetrieben wurde.

- The Advanced Passenger Train (APT) was a tilting high speed train developed by British Rail during the 1970s and early 1980s, for use on the West Coast Main Line (WCML). The WCML contained many curves, and the APT pioneered the concept of active tilting to address these, a feature that has since been copied on designs around the world. The experimental APT-E achieved a new British railway speed record on 10 August 1975 when it reached 152.3 miles per hour (245.1 km/h), only to be bested by the service prototype APT-P at 162.2 miles per hour (261.0 km/h) in December 1979, a record that stood until September 2006. Development of the service prototypes dragged on, and by the late 1970s the design had been under construction for a decade and the trains were still not ready for service. The election of Margaret Thatcher brought matters to a head and she alluded to funding cuts for the project. Facing the possibility of cancellation, BR management decided to put the prototypes into service, with the first runs along the London-Glasgow route taking place in December 1981. The result was a media circus when every problem large or small received front-page coverage and the entire project derided as an example of BR's incompetence. The trains were withdrawn from service again by the end of the month, to the great amusement of the press. The problems were eventually solved and the trains quietly reintroduced in 1984 with much greater success. By this time the competing High Speed Train, powered by a conventional diesel engine and lacking the APT's tilt and performance, had gone through development and testing at a rapid rate and was now forming the backbone of BR's passenger service. All support for the APT project collapsed as anyone in authority distanced themselves from what was being derided as a failure. Plans for a production version, APT-S, were abandoned, and the three APT-Ps ran for just over a year before being withdrawn again over the winter of 1985/6. Two of the three sets were broken up, and parts of the third sent to the National Railway Museum where it joined the APT-E. In spite of the APT's troubled history, the design was highly influential and directly inspired other high speed trains such as the Pendolino. The considerable work on electrification that was carried out hand-in-hand with APT was put to good use with newer non-tilting designs like the British Rail Class 91. The APT's tilt system was returned to the WCML on the British Rail Class 390, based on the Fiat Ferroviaria tilting train design and built by Alstom. Other features pioneered on APT, such as the hydrokinetic braking used to stop the train within existing separations, have not been adopted. (en)
- El Advanced Passenger Train (APT; Tren de Pasajeros Avanzado en español) fue un proyecto británico, financiado por el British Rail y gestionado por la , creada a finales de los años 1970 para la construcción de un tren de basculación activa. El proyecto constó de tres fases:
* Introducción en servicio de un prototipo experimental, el APT-E
* Introducción de tres prototipos de trenes en servicio comercial entre Glasgow y Londres, los APT-P.
* Introducción del modelo comercial, APT-S, en servicio de línea regular. El proyecto se canceló durante la segunda fase, cuando la mala publicidad derivada de la poca fiabilidad del vehículo y del bajo rendimiento y la incomodidad del sistema de basculación de los coches de viajeros gestionado mediante acelerómetros precipitó la retirada de los tres trenes puestos en circulación. En total, los trenes APT estuvieron en servicio operativo entre 1981 y 1986, un breve período de cinco años que sirvió para constatar el fracaso del ambicioso proyecto. (es)

- L'Advanced Passenger Train (APT) è stato un progetto britannico, finanziato dalla British Rail e gestito dalla British Rail Research Division, nato alla fine degli anni settanta per la costruzione di un treno a cassa pendolante attiva. L'APT-E in mostra allo Shildon Locomotion Museum Il progetto si componeva di tre fasi:
* l'introduzione in servizio di un prototipo sperimentale, l'APT-E
* L'introduzione di tre treni prototipo in servizio commerciale tra Glasgow e Londra (APT-P)
* l'introduzione del modello commerciale, APT-S, in servizio di linea regolare Il progetto venne cancellato durante la seconda fase, quando la cattiva pubblicità derivante dall'inaffidabilità del veicolo e le scarse prestazioni di comfort dovute al sistema di gestione dei carrelli oscillanti tramite accelerometri decretarono il ritiro dei tre treni messi in circolazione.

- De Advanced Passenger Train (APT) was een intercitytreinstel met kantelbakinstallatie dat in de jaren 70 en begin jaren 80 door (BREL) en de British Rail is ontwikkeld. Het doel was om de treinstellen te gebruiken op de West Coast Main Line tussen Londen en Glasgow. De APT is begin jaren 80 wel korte tijd in dienst geweest op deze route, maar is nooit verder gekomen dan een prototype. Opvallend is dat de later zo succesvolle Intercity 125, een dieseltreinstel voor intercitytreindiensten die 200 km/h (125 mph) kan halen, is ontwikkeld voor tijdelijk gebruik als intercitymateriaal, tijdens de ontwikkeling van de APT.

- O Advanced Passenger Train (acrônimo: APT) foi uma tentativa frustrada da British Rail de introduzir um trem de alta velocidade no Reino Unido durante as décadas de 1970 e 1980. Este trem utilizava uma tecnologia chamada pendular activa (tilting, em inglês). Esta tecnologia fazia com que o trem inclinasse nas curvas, dando condições ao trem alcançar altas velocidades nas curvas de trilhos "normais".O efeito do trem inclinar nas curvas fazia com que os passageiros sentissem a sensação de enjoo dando-lhe o apelido de 'Cometa do Vômito'. O APT tinha uma velocidade máxima de 257km/h sendo que, caso fosse aprovado operaria a 200km/h na linha West Coast Main Line. Durante os testes alguns vagões falhavam ao inclinar, fazendo com que a British Rail perder a confiança na tecnologia, sendo o projeto encerrado pelo governo de Margaret Thatcher. Hoje o Reino Unido dispõe de trens como trens Eurostar que circulam pelo túnel do Canal da Mancha, entre a Inglaterra e a França, e também viajam pela Bélgica, e operam a 300 km/h. Há também versões do Italiano Pendolino (British Rail Class 390 Pendolino) e o trem Javelin (British Rail Class 395 Javelin) que operam a 200 km/h. E o famoso InterCity 125, o trem diesel mais veloz do mundo, operando a 201 km/h (recorde de 238 km/h). (pt)
